Insomnia is highly prevalent in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is associated with poor glycemic control. Louisiana has one of the highest diabetes prevalence rates in the U.S., with significant disparities by race, income, and rural residence. Despite growing recognition of sleep's role in diabetes management, sleep disturbances remain largely unaddressed in diabetes care. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, yet it is underutilized in primary care clinics such as federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) that serve high-risk populations. The long-term goal of this research is to improve cardiometabolic health and reduce diabetes disparities by integrating sleep interventions into diabetes care. This pilot study aims to: (1) evaluate the impact of CBT-I on sleep and diabetes-related outcomes, and (2) assess the acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity of implementing a 6-week CBT-I program in an FQHC setting. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 30 FQHC patients (aged 40+) with uncontrolled T2D (HbA1c >7%) and comorbid insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ≥15). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the CBT-I intervention or usual care. Sleep (ISI scores, actigraphy) and cardiometabolic (HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin) outcomes will be assessed at baseline and three months post-randomization. Implementation success will be evaluated using fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability measures. Findings will provide preliminary evidence for integrating CBT-I into primary care, informing larger trials to improve diabetes outcomes and reduce disparities in Louisiana.

This phase III trial compares the effect of xylitol dental wipes to dental wipes without xylitol for the reduction of bloodstream infection in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar compound found in fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has been shown to limit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, and to reduce cavities, plaque on the teeth, and inflammation of the gums. Treatment for AML includes chemotherapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy for AML have a risk of developing bloodstream infections. Bloodstream infections can make patients very sick, can contribute to delays in treatment, and can even cause death. In AML patients, bacteria or fungus (yeast) can sometimes enter the bloodstream from the mouth. Using xylitol dental wipes may help to reduce bloodstream infections in children being treated for AML.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both: - High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment - Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy: - Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy - Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy Type: Interventional Start Date: Jun 2025 |

This study is open to adults 18 and older with an eye condition called diabetic macular edema. People are required to have a specific type of diabetic macular edema called centre-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) to take part. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1815368 improves sight in people with CI-DME and to find the most suitable dose. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, participants are put into 2 groups of equal size randomly, which means by chance. One group takes BI 1815368 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1815368 tablets but do not contain any medicine. In the second part, participants are put into 4 groups of equal size randomly. 3 groups take different daily doses of the study medicine, BI 1815368, while 1 group takes placebo. All participants take tablets twice a day for about 11 months. Participants are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site 16 times. At visits, doctors check the participant's vision and collect information on any health problems. They take detailed pictures of the eye. The changes over time are compared between the groups to see if the treatment works. Type: Interventional Start Date: Jun 2025 |

In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of felzartamab in participants with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). IgAN is a kidney disease caused by the buildup of an antibody called IgA in the kidneys over time. In people with IgAN, abnormal IgA and other antibodies form clusters that build up in the small filters of the kidneys, which leads to inflammation and damage. Felzartamab is designed to target certain immune cells that produce these abnormal antibodies. This study will focus on participants who have protein in their urine (proteinuria) as a result of damaged kidneys. The main goal of the study is to learn about the effect felzartamab has on proteinuria. The main question that researchers want to answer is: • How much does the amount of protein in the urine change from the start of the study to Week 36? Researchers will learn about the effect felzartamab has on the kidneys' ability to filter blood. They will also learn more about the safety of felzartamab and how it is processed by the body. The study will be done as follows: - Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. - Participants will be randomized to receive either felzartamab or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - Neither the researchers nor the participants will know what the participants will receive. - Participants will receive felzartamab or placebo as intravenous (IV) infusions. The treatment period will last 24 weeks. - Afterwards, participants will enter a follow-up period which will last 80 weeks. - In total, participants will have 17 study visits. Participants will stay in the study for about 2 years. Type: Interventional Start Date: May 2025 |

This phase III trial compares 6 months of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy to 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for the treatment of HER2-positive (+) breast cancer in patients that had a pathologic complete response (pCR) after preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy with trastuzumab. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to a receptor protein called HER2. HER2 is found on some cancer cells. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving 6 months of HER2-targeted therapy may work better than giving 12 months for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer in patients that had a pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab.

Background: Childhood-onset essential hypertension (COEH) is high blood pressure that develops in children and teens. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. COEH is more likely to be caused by changes in genes rather than by factors like stress or diet. Researchers want to learn more about how changes in genes relate to COEH. They hope to use that information to develop better treatments for children with high blood pressure. Objective: This natural history study will look for genes and gene changes that may lead to COEH. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older with COEH or who had COEH when they were children. Healthy relatives of those with COEH are also needed. Design: Participants will have one clinic visit per year for up to 10 years. All participants will have a physical exam. They will provide samples of blood and urine. At their first visit, they will have a swab (like a Q-tip) rubbed between their gums and cheeks. They may agree to having a skin biopsy; a piece of skin about the size of a pencil eraser will be removed. Affected participants aged 2 to 17 years old will have additional tests: - They will have sensors placed on their skin to look at their blood vessels and see how blood is moving in their bodies. - They will lie or stand while a machine measures the amount of fat and muscle in their bodies. - They will have an ultrasound; a wand will be rubbed against their skin to take pictures of their kidneys. Other things are optional for all participants: - They may have photographs taken of their bodies. - They may have tests of their heart function. - They may have different types of imaging scans....
