SMALL Talk: Study of Milestones to Advance Language Learning

Purpose

The goal of this study is to identify early risk for developmental language disorder (DLD) among young, low-income children, and to determine how caregiver and child chronic stress and interaction quality interact to disrupt language growth among these children. The long-term objective is to identify pathways through which early family situations and the conditions of poverty disrupt early language paths among low-income children and contribute to heightened rates of DLD.

Could this study be right for you?

Inclusion criteria are: - have a child that is 9 months or younger - child resides in a low-income household, using some sort of government assistance or using the 200% threshold from the Department of Health and Human Services based on annual household income and number of persons in home Exclusion criteria: - Children who are multiple births, preterm (<35 weeks), and have profound or severe disabilities will be excluded, with the latter including congenital blindness, deafness, Down syndrome and other frank neurological deficits.

Laying the Groundwork for Personalized Medicine in Aphasia Therapy: Genetic and Cognitive Predictors of Restorative Treatment Response

Purpose

This NIH-funded project will investigate patient-specific factors that may influence response to therapy for language impairment after stroke, or aphasia. Results from this work will assist with better estimation of prognosis for stroke survivors with aphasia, which could empower patients and families to make more informed health care decisions about how to pursue the most appropriate rehabilitation services based on their unique characteristics, such as genetics, cognitive skills, and brain structure after stroke.

Could this study be right for you?

Participants must meet the following criteria:
- Native English speaker
- Able to have an MRI
- Had only one stroke (in the left hemisphere of the brain)

Patient perceptions about the role of spirituality and faith during cancer treatment

Purpose

The purpose of the current study is to characterize the perspectives of cancer patients who have undergone a cancer-directed surgery on the role of spirituality and/or religion during their cancer journey in order to better define the desired access to related resources during cancer care. Results from this study will inform future research aimed at addressing patient-centered spirituality/faith needs of cancer patients.

Could this study be right for you?

If you’ve had or will have surgery to treat a cancer diagnosis, you can help researchers at Ohio State examine how patient spirituality and/or religion influences the cancer journey by taking an online survey.

Participants should be:

• Over 18 years old.

• Diagnosed with cancer (all types).

• At least four months past the initial cancer diagnosis.

• Underwent or will receive a surgical procedure related to their cancer

A Study to Investigate OQL011 on VEGFR Inhibitor-Associated Hand-Foot Skin Reaction in Cancer Patients (NOVA-II)

Purpose

Hand-Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR) is a common adverse event induced by Vascular Endothelial Growth Receptor Inhibitor (VEGFRi) treatment in cancer patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OQL011 compared to vehicle ointment in treating patients with moderate to severe VEGFRi-associated HFSR. This study will also identify an optimal dosage for Phase III study and explore the pharmacokinetics profile of OQL011 in HFSR patients.

Could this study be right for you?

- Patient must be age 18 years of age or older. - Patient must have a confirmed cancer diagnosis for which VEGFRi treatment is indicated, and must be currently under VEGFRi-based anti-cancer therapy with stable dosage for ≥ 1 week. - Patient on pain medications is allowed provided they have been on stable dosage in the past 1 week and is going to continue at the same dosage.

Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of 36 Weeks of Treatment with NLY01 in Early-stage Parkinson’s Disease

Purpose

This research is studying a new drug, NLY01, in a large number of persons to learn about its effects in people with early-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers want to know whether NLY01 helps lessen symptoms and signs of early PD, as well as slow the progression of the disease.

You will have a 2 in 3 chance of receiving NLY01 and a 1 in 3 chance of receiving a placebo, sterile salt water that looks like NLY01 but does not contain the study drug.

The total amount of time for you to be in the study will be approximately 45 to 54 weeks.

Could this study be right for you?

Inclusion:
- Man or woman, at least 30 to 80 years old
- Have early-stage Parkinson's disease
- Not be on any current treatments for PD

A PHASE 3, DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, PARALLEL-GROUP, 27-WEEK TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY, AND TOLERABILITY OF TWO FIXED DOSES OF TAVAPADON IN EARLY PARKINSON’S DISEASE (TEMPO-1 TRIAL)

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to learn how well tavapadon (the study drug) works as a possible treatment for Parkinson’s disease and how safe the study drug is. The target dose range of tavapadon being studied is 5 to 15 mg once daily.

If you choose to participate in this study, you may receive the study drug, or you may receive placebo. A placebo is an inactive material, such as a sugar pill, that looks like the study drug but does not contain any active study drug. Researchers use a placebo to see if the study drug works better or is safer than taking nothing.
You will be in this study for approximately 35 weeks, which includes a screening visit and safety follow up, and you will need to come to the study center at least 11 times over this period.

Could this study be right for you?

You may be eligible if you:
• Are Between the ages of 40 to 80 years
• Are willing to practice effective birth control, or remain abstinent during the trial and for 4 weeks after the last dose of trial if you are a sexually active man or woman of childbearing potential
• Were diagnosed more than 3 years ago
• Willing and able to not use any PD medications that are not permitted by the protocol (including dopaminergic agents) throughout participation in the trial.

You will be excluded if you:
• Have a history or clinical features consistent with essential tremor, atypical or secondary parkinsonian syndrome (including, but not limited to, progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, cortico-basal degeneration, or drug-induced or post-stroke parkinsonism).
• Have had previous surgical intervention (eg, deep brain stimulation) for PD or for whom such a procedure is planned or anticipated during the trial period.
• Have hypertension.
• Have previously participated in any tavapadon trial, including this trial, and received IMP.
