A Phase III Trial of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases

Summary: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while tr...

Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Lecanemab in Alzheimer's Disease Through Multi-omics Approachs

Summary: This research proposal outlines a multi-center, randomized, trial. Patients diagnosed with early-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Lecanemab. The study will run over a period of 24 months, with evaluations conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. Data from multiple omics layers will be integra...

Synaptic Mechanisms of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation in Depression

Summary: Many people with depression do not get better with standard treatments like medication. One promising alternative is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions. A particular pattern of TMS called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) is thought to reduce overactive brain activity in depression, but the investi...
