We are studying an internet-based pain coping skills program with pain education for cancer survivors who have persistent pain. Pain severity and interference will be compared to people who receive only pain education. The pain coping program has 8 sessions that are completed in the first 10 weeks of starting the study. The group that receives only pain education will receive access to the program after 6 months. Everyone is followed for 9 months

We are studying how well radiation therapy with or without olaparib works in treating people with inflammatory breast cancer. Olaparib may keep cancer cells from repairing themselves, making them die. We want to see if adding this drug to radiation therapy is more effective.

We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.

We are comparing treatment of early stage, hormone positive breast cancer with and without radiation therapy. One group will receive radiation therapy with endocrine therapy and the other group will receive endocrine therapy alone. We want to find out if there is any difference in how often breast cancer recurs in the same breast.

The purpose of this research is to test the efficacy of different interventions to increase vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers are at increased risk of developing HPV-associated secondary cancers, but have lower HPV vaccination coverage compared to the general population. Interventions which are found to be successful in this study will be incorporated into future survivorship care to improve adherence to recommend preventive healthcare practices. All research procedures will be conducted remotely (e.g. online).

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

This is an early study of a new drug called UCB1381. In the first part of the study, we are looking at increasing doses of the drug when compared to an inactive drug (placebo) when given to healthy participants. In the second part, we will look at the safety and effectiveness of one dose of UCB1381 compared to an inactive drug (placebo) when given to people who have moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis.

The purpose of this research is to find out whether the Autism Diagnostic Interview, 3rd edition (ADI-3) is useful for gathering information to help with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (autism). Parents/caregivers will be asked to complete questionnaires and participate in two separate interviews about your child (the focus participant). We estimate that one interview will take 2-3 hours and the other will take 3-4 hours. Children will be asked to complete questionnaires (if they are able) and an in-person assessment that will take approximately 3-4 hours.

The current study is designed to determine which strategy (regular screening or screening only in the presence of symptoms) is more effective in preventing heart attacks in kidney transplant candidates. Another goal of the study is to determine whether biomarker tests are able to predict the need for regular CAD screening tests.

This study is being done to evaluate the safety and tolerability of twice daily application of the study drug, ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% people with alopecia areata. There are 2 study drugs in this study: ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% and vehicle (placebo). Participants will be randomized (like drawing straws) to either ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% or vehicle to be applied twice daily for 12 weeks. A vehicle is a study treatment that looks like the test drug and is made from the same base products used to make ARQ-255 topical suspension 3%, but it does not contain any active study ingredients.

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.

The purpose of this study is to find out if using a computer program (called iDose) to guide infliximab dosing is more effective and safer than using standard infliximab dosing over 52 weeks. All patients in this study will be receiving infliximab as part of their medical care, this study is only looking at two different methods of determining the dose and timing of administration.

We are testing whether treating people who have FSGS with plasmapheresis and rituximab before or shortly after kidney transplant can prevent the recurrence of FSGS after kidney transplant. All participants will receive plasmapheresis. Each participant has a 50% chance of receiving rituximab and a 50% chance of receiving no additional treatment. Rituximab is given by infusion. If a participant is assigned to receive rituximab, it will be given one time immediately after plasmapheresis.

This study aims to investigate whether there is difference in ankle position sense acuity between people with Parkinson's with freezing of gait and without freezing of gait. It also examines the relationship between position sense acuity and severity of freezing of gait, and gait measurements.

This is a study of individuals older than 18, undergoing abdominal surgery, and are amenable to fat samples being collected during their surgical procedure, with the option to participate in other tests that can provide information on insulin sensitivity and fat distribution. This study is trying to figure out how fat tissue is related to an individual's health status and health conditions, and the analysis of the aging of cells that make up the human body.

The purpose of this research study is to find out how many people with acute pancreatitis develop diabetes. Risk factors for diabetes and the types of diabetes that occur after acute pancreatitis will also be studied. A small number of people who already had diabetes before their acute pancreatitis attack will be enrolled for comparison.

CREST-2 is a parallel trial to compare carotid endarterectomy + intensive medical management (IMM) vs IMM alone, and carotid artery stenting plus IMM vs IMM alone in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis >70%.

This study will compare the effects of apixaban to aspirin in patients who have atrial fibrillation and a recent brain hemorrhage to see which is better in preventing strokes and death.

This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves).

This will be a Phase II, two-arm, nonrandomized, non-comparative, open-label study in participants ≥ 1 year of age with iobenguane avid, recurrent or progressive high-risk neuroblastoma. Participants not eligible for vorinostat treatment may receive 131I-MIBG as monotherapy.

This study is about a genetic condition called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The first goal of this study is to understand more about how ALD affects a child’s brain and development in childhood as they take part in medical care and monitoring. This is important to identify the optimal ways to detect and treat manifestations of ALD such as cerebral ALD. The second goal is to learn about how ALD affects caregivers, so that clinicians can offer better support to families in the future. We will also have healthy comparisons to help to learn more about the condition (ALD) being studied, by comparing the information collected to a child without the condition.

The purpose of this research is to learn more about the immune function of patients who are critically ill and may or may not have sepsis through assessment of blood samples at the time of their illness. We will use the blood to determine whether the immune system is suppressed (slowed or stunted) and measure the amount of suppression. Our research team will compare blood from healthy participants to people who are critically ill to better understand immune system suppression.

The goal of this study is to collect information about patients undergoing a TIPS and to evaluate the longterm outcomes and complications over a 5-year period. There are no expected direct benefits to participation in this study however knowledge gained from this research may beneficial to future patients undergoing this procedure. This study does not involve any investigational drugs.

We are looking at a new intravenous drug, Bacteriophage, to treat Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in people at least 18 years of age who have cystic fibrosis. The drug is given one time and different doses will be evaluated to see if they work and to look at side effects.

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.

The purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Masonic Cancer Center and Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) databases for patients undergoing a transplant for the treatment of Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC) or Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA). 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 is a treatment protocol for an unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen for the treatment of hematological diseases, including, but not limited to acute leukemias. There is no research element except the collection of routine clinical data.
