Summary: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects caused by antineoplastic agents, with a prevalence from 19% to over 85%. Clinically, CIPN is a mostly sensory neuropathy that may be accompanied by motor and autonomic changes of varying intensity and duration.~Due to its high prevalence among cancer patients, CIPN constitutes a major problem for both cancer...

Summary: This phase II trial studies how well anakinra works in decreasing the occurrence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and damage to the nerves (neurotoxicity) in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who are receiving CD-19 targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. CAR-T cell therapy may be complicated by two potentially life-threatening side effects: CRS and neurotoxicity. Anak...

Summary: This study will evaluate the use of siltuximab to decrease the severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurological syndrome (ICANS) in patients who will receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for the treatment of hematological malignancies.

Summary: Sepsis is one of the most common causes of acute illness and death in the United States. Early, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics are a mainstay of sepsis treatment. Two classes of antibiotics with activity against Pseudomonas, anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins and anti-pseudomonal penicillins, are commonly used for acutely ill adults with sepsis in current practice. Recent observational studies, h...

Summary: This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of up to 2 mg/day (1 mg BID) of NLX-112 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe L-DOPA induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD). NLX-112 will be up-titrated to either 2 mg/day or to the highest well-tolerated dose less than 2 mg/day over 4 weeks...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multimodal program based on therapeutic exercise and vagal activation techniques for newly diagnosed breast cancer women has better results in terms of neurotoxicity prevenion before or during medical treatments.

Summary: The investigators propose that immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is predicated upon the early loss of blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity with subsequent monocyte infiltration leading to cross-activation of native glial cells. Glial overstimulation leads to neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and ultimately neuronal injury.

Summary: This study will address whether cannabis affects antiretroviral therapy (ART) drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. The project will have two phases. Phase 1 is an observational study, in which 120 people will be assessed to evaluate the effects of chronic cannabis use on ART drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. In Phase 2, the study will administer cannabis (or placebo) to 40 people to exa...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Usual versus Reduced Lipid Intake on Unbound Bilirubin Levels, Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials, and neurodevelopmental Outcome at 2 Years in Extremely Preterm Infants

Summary: This research study is studying the combination of anakinra and axicabtagene ciloleucel to reduce the occurrence of the side effects Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and neurologic toxicities with relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).~Relapsed NHL is the condition of returned Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.~Refractory NHL is the condition of previous treatment resistant Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.~Cyt...

Summary: Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) caused by albumin-bound paclitaxel is a dose-limiting toxicity. The main symptoms of discomfort are numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the glove-sock-like distribution of the limbs. At present, there are few effective methods for clinical treatment of TIPN, and there is no widely agreed consensus on effective treatment in the world. Therefore,...

Summary: Open-label, single-arm, single center pilot study to assess safety and feasibility of administering dexamethasone intrathecally and simvastatin orally during axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) treatment. Feasibility will be measured by the proportion of patients completing two-thirds (2/3) of their assigned treatments. The study will be deemed feasible if 2/3 or more of the patients complete 2/3 or...
