The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation Device (“Vanquish”) in subjects with Gleason Grade Group 2 (GGG2) localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer
The purpose of this study is to describe, under real-world conditions, the safety and effectiveness of larotrectinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TRK fusion cancer for whom a decision to treat with larotrectinib has been made before enrollment.
This Phase II/III trial will evaluate the what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absences of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer.
This phase III trial compares early treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab versus delayed treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can a patient’s life be extended by adding a type of radiation therapy called whole-brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus to preserve memory plus the medication memantine that is FDA approved to treat dementia to the usual treatment?
This study aims to find out if adding Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy and memantine is better or worse than the usual approach for your brain cancer.
This phase II/III trial compares the side effects and activity of oral azacitidine in combination with the standard drug therapy (reduced dose rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-miniCHOP]) versus R-miniCHOP alone in treating patients 75 years or older with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. R-miniCHOP includes a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein), called rituximab, which attaches to the lymphoma cells and may help the immune system kill these cells.
This phase II trial studies the effect of duvelisib or CC-486 and usual chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisone in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Utilize fresh tumor tissue to aid the development of future therapies for brain cancer.
Briefly, a cell immunotherapy consisting of a patient’s autologous glioblastoma tumor cells, called ‘IGV-001’, is being tested in clinical trials. In order to advance clinical and product development of IGV-001, Imvax is seeking access to patient material to test key product parameters in a laboratory setting.
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples for the further development of the diagnostic test Elecsys® Anti TPO II (anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody). This updated test is to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. In blood of patients suffering from these diseases, antibodies like anti-TPO are generally elevated. In the This study, the patient's blood sample will be analyzed with the updated Elecsys® Anti-TPO II test.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of completing PROs among AYAs randomized to Choice PRO vs Fixed PRO.
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 2 arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
In this study, researchers are hoping to improve post-operative pain control and reduce opioid use using a technique called TAP block. A TAP block is a form of pain relief that "blocks" the pain receptors in a person's abdomen and can be performed during minimally invasive hysterectomy. Enrolled participants undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy will be randomized to three pain control or TAP block options.
This is a clinical study that explores the effects of Tai Chi or Wellness Education on the gut bacteria of patients with Osteoarthritis. Our intervention is aimed at decreasing pain and improving quality of life for osteoarthritis patients.
To measure bacterial changes, participants stool samples will be collected and analyzed.These results will help determine mechanisms between bacteria, pain and behavioral pathways as well as progress future research to the potential disease-modifying role of mind-body approaches.
This study is being conducted in patients with refractory Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC), a serious condition which can cause damage to your lung, and is resistant to other treatments. The study is looking at how effective the study drug, Epetraborole in the treatment of refractory MAC. Epetrabole is a oral pill to be taken as 2 tablets one time daily by mouth. Details of study visits are explained below.
This trial will help to determine if either the experimental arm (adjuvant reirradiation plus pembrolizumab, followed by pembrolizumab to complete 12 months total of pembrolizumab and/or pembrolizumab alone for 12 months) significantly improves Overall Survival (OS) compared to adjuvant reirradiation plus concurrent platinum chemotherapy in high risk patients.
This is a randomized, open-label study of HLX10 plus chemotherapy (Carboplatin-Etoposide) in comparison with Atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in previously untreated US patients with ES-SCLC. Subjects in this study will be randomized to arm A or B at 1:1 ratio as follows: Arm A (HLX10): HLX10 + chemotherapy (carboplatin-etoposide) Arm B (control): Atezolizumab + chemotherapy (carboplatin-etoposide)
Recent studies have shown that the causative agent of Lyme disease, the organism (Borrelia burgdorferi), may persist in animals after antibiotic treatment and can be detected by using natural tick vector (Ixodes scapularis) to acquire the organism through feeding (xenodiagnosis). The aim of this study is to investigate the utility of xenodiagnosis for identifying persistence of infection with B. burgdorferi in treated human Lyme disease.
This is a Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2b Study, with the objective of comparing Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed GBM patients treated with IGV-001 with patients treated with placebo.
The study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of faricimab compared with aflibercept in patients with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) up to the primary endpoint at Week 24.
Our main goal is to use a special type of microscopic imaging to help detect cervical pre-cancers without the need for labels or dyes. We've been working closely with doctors at Tufts Medical Center for more than ten years and have studied images from over seventy cervical tissue samples taken from humans. We shine a laser on the tissues with two different types of light, and this caused certain molecules in the cells to give off light, which we collected and analyzed. By scanning the tissues in this way, we could make 3D images and measure how the cell structures changed with depth.
