This clinical study investigates a new treatment for prostate cancer. ODM-208 (CYP11A1 inhibitor) is the oral study medication that will be taken together with oral glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) and mineralocorticoid (fludrocortisone) replacement therapy. The purpose of this study is to find a safe and effective dose of ODM-208 for the treatment of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is also to use the results of this study to support development programs of CYP11A1 inhibitors in prostate cancer and other relevant indications. Read More

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of hot and ambient water immersion on 1) resting brain blood flow and 2) the brain blood flow response to decreases and increases in carbon dioxide in the blood. There will be 3 visits at UB South Campus: an informed consent/screening visit (30-60 minutes) and two experimental visits (5 hours each) at least 7 days apart. You will be seated in a pool with water up to your neck and your arms will be immersed in the water. Prior to, during, and after the water immersion, we will obtain a venous blood sample and you will complete a breathing test to measure your brain blood flow. Read More
This study is being done to see if the Buffalo Concussion Physical Exam and the Tele-Brain Injury Screen can be safely used to identify brain injury and its impact on functioning in female survivors who have experienced intimate partner violence. The Buffalo Concussion Physical Exam is a non-invasive physical exam that examines neck/head area for any discomfort. This exam also tests standing balance and the ability to follow movements with eyes. The Tele-Brain Injury Screen tells us how individuals suspected of brain injury are feeling and whether the way they are feeling is interfering with their functioning. In essence, we want to understand if intimate partner violence could result in brain injury. We also want to understand the effects of brain injury on daily functioning and social functioning.
