AHOD2131, A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy with Immuno-oncology Therapy for Children and Adults with Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

This phase III trial studies brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating children and young adults with stage IIB with bulk, stage IIIB, IVA, or IVB Hodgkin lymphoma. Combinations of biological substances in brentuximab vedotin may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly to Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without brentuximab vedotin in treating children with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Robotic versus Open Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer (ROCC trial) (ROCC)

This study is to investigate if robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery), is worse than open surgery (otherwise known as a laparotomy) when performing a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Previous research has been done and shown that patients receiving laparoscopy had an increased risk of recurrence of their cervical cancer. But since that time a lot has been learned and improvements have been made, hence why we are relooking at the differences between the two surgical approaches.

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Masked, Vehicle-Controlled Phase 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NEXAGON® (Lufepirsen Ophthalmic Gel) in Subjects with Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defects (NEXPEDE-1) (NEXPEDE-1)

The clear layer at the front of the eye that covers the pupil and iris (colored part of the eye) is called the “cornea”. When the cornea is damaged, it normally heals within a few days but it may take up to 2 weeks depending on the size and depth of the defect (wound). Some corneal defects heal much slower than expected. A defect in the cornea that fails to heal within the normal time of 2 weeks despite using the best available medicines and procedures, is known as Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect (or PCED for short). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness (risks and benefits) of of NEXAGON ophthalmic gel for the treatment of PCEDs.

Assessments of sound perception and brain activation in response to paired sound and electrical stimulation of surface ear regions

We are investigating how paired non-invasive electrical stimulation of surface body regions and sound changes sound perception and tinnitus. Body stimulation regions include: external ear/behind the ear, shoulder, neck, forearm, hand, and upper arm. We aim to better understand the optimal conditions of this paired stimulation, which opens opportunities for applying this method to improving hearing loss or tinnitus. We are studying three groups of people: those with normal hearing, those with mild to moderate hearing loss, and those with tinnitus.

COG AALL2121: A Phase 2 study of SNDX-5613 in combination with chemotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged infant leukemia

This phase II trial tests the safety and best dose of revumenib when given together with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R). Revumenib is an oral medicine that directly targets the changes that occur in a cell with a KMT2A rearrangement and has been shown to specifically kill these leukemia cells in test tubes and animals. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, prednisone, asparaginase, fludarabine and cytarabine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial is being done to find out if the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy may help to treat the cancer cells better than either treatment alone.

Rectus sheath block with liposomal bupivacaine versus thoracic epidural analgesia for pain control following pancreatoduodenectomy: a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority trial

In this study, we are comparing two different numbing techniques performed by anesthesiologists. Patients in the study are randomly selected to receive one or the other type of numbing injection. One group of patients will receive an epidural, which is a numbing injection done in the back, similar to that which women receive when they give birth. The other group of patients will receive a rectus sheath block, which is a numbing injection done on the abdomen. Both of these types of numbing injections are performed regularly by our anesthesiologists at the University.

Phase II Multi-Institutional Study of Low-Dose (2Gy x 2) Palliative Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Symptomatic Bone metastases from Multiple Myeloma

There is no consensus on the radiation dose required to relieve the pain from bone lesions from multiple myeloma. Usually, patients receive between 10 and 12 radiation treatments to achieve pain relief. But a shorter course of radiotherapy may be more effective. This study will evaluate whether pain relief can be achieved using only 1 or 2 radiation treatments, which will be delivered to a painful bone lesion. Your study doctor will decide whether you receive 1 or 2 treatments. The total amount of radiation you will receive will be the same whether it is done in one or two treatment sessions.

MT2022-27: TRANSPIRE: Lung Injury in a Longitudinal Cohort of Pediatric HSCT Patients

People planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant and are at risk for developing problems with the lungs related to this planned therapy. The types and seriousness of lung problems that may develop after transplant can be very different and currently, we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how they may respond to therapy. Also, we do not know what the best test is to monitor lung function after transplant, especially in children and young adults. The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what is the best method for diagnosing lung problems and following how well the lungs are working. In this study, clinical information, laboratory results and imaging findings will be collected from medical records to assist researchers in learning more about lung complications after bone marrow transplant.

MT2023-35: A Pilot Study to Identify Risk Factors for Long-Term Functional and Pulmonary Outcomes Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Oncologic Diagnoses.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what are the best methods for diagnosing lung problems and follow-up care. The lung problems that may develop after transplant varies from patient to patient, and we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how patients respond to pulmonary (breathing system) therapies. Also, we wish to improve how we monitor lung function and quality of life after transplant, especially in children and young adults.

018 / ACTIV: A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomized, Controlled Trial Platform To Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Strategies and Treatments for Hospitalized Patients with Respiratory Infections

We are studying an investigational medicine for treatment of people in the hospital with COVID-19. This medicine is investigational because it can only be used in research. We are trying to find out if this investigational medicine is effective when given in addition to the current standard treatment for COVID-19. We are also trying to make sure it is safe for people who are sick in the hospital to take. The treatment being tested in this study is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other national government agency.

Prophylactic Antibiotic Use to Prevent Urinary Tract Infection Following Radical Cystectomy and Urinary Diversion: Randomized Clinical Trial

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.
