Project Limb Rescue: A pilot study evaluating the feasibility of transcutaneous sensors for the detection of cancer-related lymphedema

Purpose

The goal of this study is to use new, adhesive-based sensors (pads that stick on your skin) to detect lymphedema, and to develop a way for patients to check for lymphedema at home.

This study will assist in distinguishing participants with lymphedema in comparison to participants without lymphedema at rest by using a combination of photoplethysmography (PPG) and bioimpedance (BI). Photoplethysmography is an optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in tissue. Bioimpedance evaluates how tissue responds to an externally applied electrical current.

Could this study be right for you?

• History of cancer related lymphedema, cancer in your arm, or the lymph nodes in the arm
• History of cancer therapy with surgery or radiation involving the axillary basin and upper arm that requires compression or pneumatic therapy
• Physically capable of performing a brief bike riding exercise for about seven minutes
• No metal implants
• Willingness to take off shoes and any metal jewelry
• Not currently pregnant
• Not currently incarcerated

Shoulder Anthropometry and Reclined Postures of Children on Booster Seats

Purpose

We are seeking child volunteers to sit on booster seats on a mock-up vehicle seat. Measurements will be made of the position of seatbelts, booster seats, and child’s shoulders and hips. We aim to understand how booster seats and vehicle seat settings influence good vs. poor seat belt fit.

 

Could this study be right for you?

• Children between 4–12 years old in good health
• Willing to attend one 3-hour appointment (per child) 

Age Range

Project Limb Rescue: A pilot study evaluating the feasibility of transcutaneous sensors for the detection of cancer-related lymphedema.

Purpose

The goal of the study is to test the success of using two types of sensors at rest after a bike exercise on volunteers with and without lymphedema, to look for differences in their readings. This part of the study will be testing persons who do not have lymphedema.

 

Could this study be right for you?

• No history of cancer related to lymphedema, cancer in your arm, or the lymph nodes in the arm
• Able to complete a brief biking exercise for about seven minutes
• No metal implants
• Willingness to take off shoes and any metal jewelry
• Not currently pregnant
• Not currently incarcerated
• Your participation will involve completing an online or over the phone screening.
• This visit will take approximately 2.5 hours.

Decay of HIV-1 Reservoirs in Participants on Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy: The ACTG HIV Reservoirs Cohort (AHRC) Study

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine longitudinal changes in HIV-1 reservoirs among participants with HIV-1 who are either currently receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) or who received ART previously. Participants will undergo blood and hair sample collections for immunologic, virologic, and pharmacologic evaluations to study HIV-1 reservoirs in the body.

Could this study be right for you?

This study is currently only enrolling in Group 6 which includes participants who acquired HIV while taking long-acting cabotegravir (CAB).

Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Recombinant HIV Envelope Protein VRC-HIVRGP096-00-VP (Trimer 4571) vaccine, in HIV-1 Infected Adults on suppressive ART

Purpose

The goal of this research study is to see if an investigational vaccine called Trimer 4571 is safe and well tolerated. Additionally, researchers will see if it will help the immune system produce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV. bNAbs are a type of antibody that can recognize and block many types of HIV from entering healthy cells. Trimer 4571 is a vaccine designed to stimulate the development of bnAbs against HIV.

Could this study be right for you?

• HIV RNA <50 for at least 24 months
• CD4 count ≥200
• Known to have started ART during acute HIV infection
• BMI <40kg/m2
