The goal of this clinical trial is to to inhibit the anterior insula (AI) with low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to determine the causal role for the AI in pain processing, anxiety, and opiate cue-induced craving. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - the safety and tolerability of LIFU delivered bilaterally to AI compared to sham stimulation in individuals with opiate use disorder (OUD), anxiety, and chronic back pain - the effects of LIFU vs sham on measures of pain processing, anxiety symptoms, and opiate cue-induced craving Participants will undergo anatomical MRI, neurological assessment, clinical assessment and patient query to assess the safety and tolerability of LIFU vs sham.

Development and Evaluation of Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for T1

Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofr1 expand
The overarching goal of this study phase, Phase II component is to perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for Treatment of Pain [CBOT-Pain (or CBOT-P)] from Phase I, compared to sham Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training (CBOT) in Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) to determine its short- and long-term effectiveness on Pain, Negative Affect (NA), Cognition and Cortical Brain Structure (PACS), long-term safety, and indications. The investigators will perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined CBOT-P from Phase I, compared to sham CBOT in CLBP. Aim 2.1: To determine if CBOT-P significantly influences: (1) acute and long-term reduction of pain severity, and (2) acute and long-term reduction of negative affect. The hypothesis is that optimized CBOT will produce faster, stronger, and longer-lasting improvements in pain severity, NA severity, cognitive impairments, and sleep and functional outcomes. Aim 2.2 To determine if CBOT-P significantly prevents or reduces progressive shrinkage in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), cingulate cortex, and hippocampus. MRI will be acquired at baseline and 6th month. An integrative analysis will be conducted to determine the link between changes in brain structure and cognitive trajectory. The hypothesis is that the CBOT optimized with BCP significantly attenuates shrinkage in OFC and other prefrontal cortex (PFC) regions, compared to the Sham intervention.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent. - EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) - pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells - Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery - Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding docetaxel to hormonal therapy and apalutamide versus hormonal therapy and apalutamide alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Hormone therapy for prostate cancer, also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), uses surgery or drugs to lower the levels of male sex hormones in a man's body. This helps slow the growth of prostate cancer. Apalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Giving docetaxel in addition to the usual treatment of hormonal therapy and apalutamide may work better in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer than the usual treatment alone.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, which are cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low number of platelets, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The main aim of this study is to learn whether mezagitamab, when given just under the skin (subcutaneously [SC]), is effective in keeping the platelet count of adults with ITP stable when compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients in it. The participants will be treated with mezagitamab for up to 6 months. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times. Participants who complete the TAK-079-3002 study or do not have any response to study treatment by week 16 (according to study criteria) will be given the opportunity to participate in a continuation study to receive open label mezagitamab (if they are eligible and the site is able to open the continuation study).

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) to usual care stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with cancer that has spread from where it first started to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. FSRS delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor over 3 treatments. SRS is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor.

CAFE-MS will assess the effectiveness of two online programs for fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS). Although they differ, both of these online programs contain information about MS and fatigue intended to help people with MS understand and manage their fatigue. This large-scale, decentralized clinical trial is projected to enroll 2,000 people with MS. The collaboration between iConquerMS and 5 Veterans Affairs (VA) sites in the MS Centers of Excellence is designed to ensure sufficient representation of people with MS from populations traditionally under-represented in MS clinical trials. The study is a 3-arm, randomized controlled clinical trial with study participation lasting 1 year. Two of the trial arms will include one of two online programs for managing fatigue in MS added to the trial participants' usual MS treatment, and the third arm will include usual MS treatment alone. The online program phase of the trial lasts for 6 months after randomization followed by a final study visit at 12 months. Participants in the usual MS treatment alone arm for the first 6 months will have an opportunity to choose one of the online programs for the final 6 months of the trial.
