Measurement of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Pressures During Phonation
The purpose of this pilot research study is to test whether a tool called “High-Resolution Manometry” can diagnose laryngeal dystonia (also known as spasmodic dysphonia) and measure how well treatment works. High-Resolution Manometry measures pressures from a small catheter that is passed from your nose into your throat. We believe that pressures in the throat might be different for people with laryngeal dystonia than for people without laryngeal dystonia, or with other types of voice disorders. If we can diagnose laryngeal dystonia shortly after symptoms start, we can get patients the treatment they need sooner.

MT2022-45 Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD): Longitudinal Study of Clinical Presentation, Treatment and Outcomes
Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD disorders) are a group of diseases that cause the immune system to function abnormally and cause infections, autoimmunity or inflammation that can begin early in life. PIRD is usually caused by changes in genes in DNA. Researchers are trying to learn what types of medical problems patients with PIRD have and how these respond to treatment. Researchers also want to learn which genes cause PIRD and how it can cause the medical problems of PIRD.

Feasibility Study of Resection and GammaTile® Followed by Concomitant External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Temozolomide (TMZ) and Adjuvant TMZ in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM). (GESTALT)
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of GammaTile in combination with the Stupp Protocol for the treatment of newly diagnosed Glioblastoma. A GammaTile (GT) is an FDA cleared device used to provide radiation therapy following the removal of a brain tumor. GT are small (2cm x 2cm x 0.4cm) collagen squares/tiles that contain sources of radiation that look like grains of rice. The doctor will place tiles containing the radiation sources in the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor. They do not need to be removed as the collagen tiles will be absorbed by the body and the radiation sources can be left in place. The Stupp Protocol includes External Beam Radiation (EBRT) in combination with Temozolomide (TMZ) which is a chemotherapy drug. EBRT uses external beams to deliver radiation to the cavity left after surgical removal of a brain tumor. After the completion of EBRT/TMZ cycle additional treatment with TMZ will continue for 6 months.

A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial of Post-Surgical Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) versus Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) with Gamma Tile for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Brain Tumors.
The purpose of this research study is to compare surgical tumor removal followed by stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) to surgical tumor removal followed by radiation therapy delivered by surgically implanted GammaTilesTM (GT). A GammaTile (GT) is an FDA cleared device used to provide radiation therapy following the removal of a brain tumor. GT are small (2cm x 2cm x 0.4cm) collagen squares/tiles that contain sources of radiation that look like grains of rice. If assigned to the GT study group, the doctor will place tiles containing the radiation sources in the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor. They do not need to be removed as the collagen tiles will be absorbed and the radiation sources can be left in place. If assigned to the SRT study group, SRT will take place 3-4 weeks after surgery and uses external beams to deliver radiation to the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor.

This study is open to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who plan to have a prostatectomy and lymph node removal. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T is an investigational PET imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, similar to the way other imaging agents are used in many other types of scans. Cu 64 specifically targets the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) that is found on the surface of metastatic prostate cancer cells. Increased image contrast may make it easier for the doctor to see smaller lesions compared to other imaging agents.
