The goal of this study is to determine if healthy donor microbes released in the small intestine act the same way as healthy donor microbes released in the large intestine for people with Crohn's Disease. We will see what good bacteria are present in intestinal biopsies at 8 weeks and look for improvement in inflammation with colonoscopy.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.

This research is being done to determine whether not taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery is less effective compared to taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) within 90 days after surgery. We will divide study participants randomly (similar to tossing a coin) into two groups; one group not receiving postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and the other group receiving prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively. Both groups will receive the exact same preparation before surgery, care during the day of surgery care, postoperative care, and care after hospital discharge.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Prospective Outcomes (IPF-PRO) Registry is a prospective registry that will collect information regarding the natural history, health care interactions, participant reported questionnaire data to assess quality of life of IPF participants, and the methods of treatment of participants with a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) established at the enrolling centers. In addition, blood samples will be collected and banked for future research projects.

The purpose of this study is to understand if the study medication ONCOFID-P-B is effective and safe in treating patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder who have not received benefit from standard BCG treatment and are not candidates for radical cystectomy.

The purpose of the study is to test new biomarkers of ALS using MRI scans at 3 Tesla (3T). A biomarker is a measurable characteristic that can be used as an indicator of a particular disease state. Identifying biomarkers in ALS will help test new treatments and may help us make diagnoses earlier.

The purpose of this study is to determine if replacing the mitral valve without open-heart surgery is as safe and effective as standard mitral valve surgery in patients with similar medical conditions. This system allows a bioprosthetic mitral valve (investigational valve) to be implanted through a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted through an incision in the side of the chest or through an incision made in the groin area and through a vein in the leg. Participation in the study is expected to last approximately 5 years from the day the valve is implanted.

This protocol will characterize the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) location (both adverse and beneficial) on motor signs in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This information can be used to inform future DBS protocols to tailor stimulation to the specific needs of a patient. If targeted dorsal GP stimulation is shown to significantly improve motor features that are typically resistant to dopamine replacement therapy, these experiments will likely have major impact on clinical practice by providing a potential strategy to treat medically intractable symptoms.

The purpose of the study is to test new biomarkers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) using MRI scans at 3 tesla (3T). Identifying biomarkers of a disease can lead to a better understanding of the disease as well as improved treatments.

One treatment for certain types of chronic pancreatitis is total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT). In this procedure, the pancreas is removed (eliminating the source of the pain) and the islets, which produce insulin and other important hormones, are taken from the pancreas and transplanted in to the liver. This is a small study to evaluate a new procedure for transplanting some islets to a new location in the body.

This study is testing the study drug BDTX-4933 in people with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors that are characterized by a KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS mutation/alteration(s). The primary objective of the study is to assess how well participants tolerate the drug and if it is effective.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

This first-in-human study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of TORL-1-23 in patients with advanced cancer.

The main goal of this study is to see if it's safe for people to take xaluritamig together with either darolutamide or abiraterone.

The goal of this current study is to test whether men with prostate cancer that is getting worse after treatment with hormone therapy and abiraterone respond better to alternating treatment with testosterone and enzalutamide vs. enzalutamide alone. We are testing to see which is better at stopping tumor growth that can be seen on a bone scan or CT scan and the effect of each regimen on lowering Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA values). Participants will be in the study for 6 to 24 months.

This clinical research study is being conducted to gain knowledge about a new drug called BAY 2927088 for a type of cancer called advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, and has a mutation in the HER2 gene.

This research study is for participants who have a weakened immune system (are immunocompromised), have a lower lung infection and are currently using a machine or device to help them breathe. The study will look at whether the study drug, DAS181, works and how safe it is compared with a placebo in adults who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) and a parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection of the lower respiratory tract. A placebo looks the same as the study drug but does not contain any active ingredients.

The primary research element is to determine whether a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and MMF will reduce the likelihood of chronic GVHD in patients receiving a standard hematopoietic myeloablative stem cell transplant. The treatment related components of this protocol are established clinical practices. We are looking at cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment at 1 year post-transplant.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Cancer Center’s and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

This study is intended to find the safest dose of a new combination of drugs (ALX148 and T-DXd) and to start to determine how effective it is at treating advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study is an addition to the ongoing ISPY study program.

This research study is testing a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension (high lung blood pressure due to heart failure) called TX000045 (study drug). Participants will be assigned to a study group and receive active study drug or a placebo (drug with no active ingredients). The study will last approximately 9 months

The purpose of this research is to collect information about the safety and tolerability of the study drug ACE-232, along with how well it works to control metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder. This study will measure its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in participants with NMIBC who have failed or did not receive adequate Bacillus Calmette- Guérin (BCG) therapy. The study drug will be given into the lining of the bladder. This may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the cancer cells.

To determine the prevalence, type, and severity of chronic health conditions (CHC) in survivors of Down syndrome-associated acute leukemia (DS-AL), and to compare CHC with frequency-matched DS individuals that have no cancer history.

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy (chemo) drug often given after a transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). We are doing this study to see if a lower dose of cyclophosphamide after transplant is as safe and works just as well. This study does not include any new or untested drugs. The drugs and procedures in this study are standard for people who receive a transplant.

There is evidence that the gut microbes interact with the body’s immune system, and people with pulmonary hypertension may have altered composition of gut microbes. We are studying whether transplanting gut microbes from healthy donors using a treatment called microbiota transplant therapy may have beneficial effects on pulmonary arterial hypertension.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Masonic Cancer Center and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

The goal of this study is to understand how urine and bladder tissue changes from infection, or a bladder that does not function normally, in people who use a catheter to empty their bladder. This may help future people because it can help determine who needs antibiotics to treat an infection in the bladder, and will help avoid the cost and side effects of using antibiotics in people who do not have a true infection. This study will take less than 1 hour – the time required to provide a urine sample in clinic. Or, if a participant is undergoing bladder Botox injection, the time necessary to participate in the study will add approximately 5 minutes to the total surgery time.

This research is being done to help us better understand the different DNA repair disorders. We will collect data and samples that we will use to develop new therapies and medicine to help treat the disease. We expect that participants will be in this research study for 3 years. Visits will occur every six months and alternate between in-person and remote. Remote visits should be expected to last 1-2 hours, and in-person visits should be expected to last 3-4 hours.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and efficacy of PC945 when given in combination with the antifungal therapy that is normally given for this condition, also known as the standard of care (SoC). This study will also assess how PC945 is processed in the body (e.g., distributed, transformed, and removed) by measuring the levels of PC945 in your blood and lungs; this is called pharmacokinetics (PK).
