Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve post-surgery thinking and memory in older adults
This trial will test whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) given around the time of surgery helps older adults with mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment keep their thinking and memory after non-cardiac operations.
-
Upfront dose-reduced chemotherapy for older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
This study is testing whether giving lower doses of chemotherapy can help older patients with advanced colorectal cancer live longer and feel better compared to the standard full doses.
-
Optimizing CDK 4/6-inhibitor doses for older breast cancer patients
This study is testing if personalizing the dose of a breast cancer medication for older patients can help them get better results than just lowering the dose based on standard practices.
-
Transcatheter closure versus medical therapy for PFO in older adults
This tests whether closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a catheter plus usual medicines prevents another unexplained (cryptogenic) stroke in people over 60 better than medicines alone.
-
Lowering LDL cholesterol in older patients with heart disease
This study is testing whether aiming for lower or higher LDL cholesterol levels can help older patients with heart disease stay healthier and avoid serious heart problems.
-
Tracking care and outcomes for older adults with hip fracture across GIOG centers
This project will collect care and outcome data from people aged 65 and older with femur fractures treated at GIOG centers to see if different management approaches lead to better recovery.
