This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

This study is being done to learn how well ripretinib works against cancer as compared to sunitinib in patients with a specific GIST-gene mutation who have received imatinib. We will also learn more about the safety of ripretinib and look at how ripretinib may affect your body. The choice of whether you will be given ripretinib or sunitinib will be assigned by a computer, by chance, like the flip of a coin. You will have a 2 out of 3 chances of receiving ripretinib. You will know if you are receiving ripretinib or sunitinib.

The current study aims at testing the efficacy of concomitant temozolomide, Optune and pembrolizumab compared to concomitant temozolomide, Optune and placebo, following preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating the potential augmentation of the immune response against glioblastoma under this regimen.

This study is being done to learn more about the efficacy and safety of LN-145 in participants with metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

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.

The purpose of this study is to learn if removing the donor T cells from the donor product using this new method will be a better way to reduce the risk of GVHD. The benefit of removing these cells with this new method is that they will prevent GVHD without requiring drugs to suppress the immune system. Potentially, the immune system will recover from the transplant faster, which in turn will also lessen the risk of severe infections. As well, the patient will not have the other common undesired side effects of these immunosuppressive drugs.

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.

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.

Individuals who are carriers of ALS causative gene variants have an increased lifetime risk of developing ALS or a related disorder, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). We are doing this research to collect a wide range of biofluid samples, clinical information, and other health and wellbeing information to look for measurable differences that will help us understand how and when the body changes in response to ALS causative gene variants.

This study aims to find out if investigational new drugs, TSC-204-A0201, TSC-204- A0702 and TSC-200-A0201, can help your cancer better than the standard of care (SOC) that are currently available and accepted by medical experts as a proper treatment. T-cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and fight cancer. For this study, T-cells will be collected through a process called leukapheresis. T-cells from your leukapheresis will be used to make the study drugs specifically tailored for you and your immune system. The purpose of the study is to learn if the study drugs are safe and effective in treating your type of cancer.

This is a registry study. The Cardiac Sarcoidosis Consortium (CSC) is an international, multicenter partnership among physicians and allied professionals at major medical centers with the unifying purpose to learn more about cardiac sarcoidosis through collaborative research.

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 this multicenter study is to compare outcomes between patients who will undergo different types of ACL reconstruction. All patients will have a tendon from their own knee used to reconstruct the ACL. Prior to knee surgery, researchers will randomize (i.e. a coin toss) to determine if ACL reconstruction will be done with patellar or quadriceps tendon and if the lateral extra-articular tenodesis will or will not be added to the ACL surgery. We will follow-up with participants as they undergo treatment and recovery after surgery for 2 years.

We are hoping to gain a better understanding of what patients with cancer, their care givers, and clinicians value and how they make decisions regarding different treatment options. We are interested in your opinion since you understand what it is like for people to undergo cancer treatment. You will be asked a series of questions that will take about 30 minutes.

This study is for people who have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), Fanconi Anemia (FA) or a bone marrow failure disorder that puts them at a higher risk of developing a form of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To learn more about these disorders and their relationship to cancer, researchers are collecting skin and blood samples to study in the lab. Blood and skin donated to the will be used by researchers at the University of Minnesota in studying the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these disorders. We expect that this study will take about two hours, or the amount of time it takes to check in for a clinic visit and collect the specimens.

The purpose of this study is to develop a questionnaire specifically designed for children and adolescents, which will help health care providers to better measure how bothersome symptoms of cGVHD are for children and adolescents living with cGVHD. Another purpose of this study is to design a caregiver companion questionnaire, to allow caregivers to measure how bothersome the symptoms of cGVHD are for their child/adolescent.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of an in person or home-based exergame intervention on improving cognition and fitness in community-dwelling older adults with memory complaints. The exergame refers to a new low-cost virtual reality cognitive game with cycling. We expect that participants will be in this research study for 4 months. Intervention sessions will require approximately 1 hour, 3 days per week for 3 months.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients (≤ 30 years old) with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan) has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT)and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).

The purpose of this trial is to investigate a full-mouth electronic toothbrush (FMET) and foam system compared to a conventional electronic toothbrush (ETB) and dentifrice during a 30-day period to evaluate the impact on clinical indicators of gingivitis, plaque, safety, and patient perceptions.

This study will be measuring brain activity using EEG and assessing motor skills and speech in children following cancerous brain tumor resection. No direct cancer treatments or objectives are being targeted.

The purpose of this study is to establish whether the device, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), both with and without walking exercise, can improve the ability to walk and prevent decline in the ability to walk for people with PAD. Intermittent pneumatic compression consists of blood pressure cuffs that are wrapped around the lower legs (below the knees) that inflate three times per minute. These cuffs may improve blood flow to the lower legs and feet.

Almost 300,000 Americans with a spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) suffer from reduced or complete loss of sensory and motor function, which can compromise functional independence and quality of life. The purpose of this study is to find better treatment options for improving sensation and movement after SCI/D.

This is study to determine if a new drug, camizestrant, improves outcomes compared to usual adjuvant endocrine therapy for people who have ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence. People who have completed initial therapy (with or without chemotherapy) are eligible for the trial. Treatment is planned to continue for 7 years.

This study collects data to better understand the experiences of women with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer and if several questionnaires about recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer are relevant, clear, and understandable. Participants will get the same cancer therapy whether or not they take part in this study.

This study is about how pain affects drinking behaviors in people with chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMD).

The purpose of this study is to measure levels of blood and brain chemicals related to oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy volunteers and individuals with Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) to see if these levels are altered by GD1. We will also examine if there is a change in these blood and brain chemicals after participants begin taking oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is available both as a prescription medication and a natural product that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

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.
