LoW Dose-Intensity vs. Standard Dose-Intensity COntinuous Renal ReplaceMent Therapy in Critically Ill Patients (WISDOM)
An estimated 10-15% of critically ill patients with acute kidney failure in the intensive care unit receive acute dialysis therapy. The majority of these patients initially receive a continuous form of dialysis therapy call continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Prior studies have suggested that higher CRRT dose-intensity improved health outcomes …
A Pilot Study Investigating Upfront Adaptive Immunotherapy Approach in Children, Adolescent and Young Adult (CAYA) Patients With Replication-Repair Deficient (RRD) High-Grade Gliomas (HGG)
This is open label, multicentre, single arm, pilot study of upfront nivolumab in patients with RRD-glioblastoma with favorable immune/genomic biomarkers. The purpose of the study is to use upfront immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to delay/avoid radiation for patients with RRD-glioblastoma with favorable clinical (Gross total resection (GTR) or near total …
Understanding How Alzheimer's Disease Impacts the Therapeutic Response to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
There is currently little symptomatic therapy for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and nothing effective for individuals with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, neuromodulation with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to be a clinically effective therapy for both AD and FTD. The challenge now is to specify the parameters and …
Digital Peer Navigation for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer experience unique challenges after completing treatment and face distinct barriers to optimal care and support. These challenges include higher levels of symptom burden and treatment complications, interrupted education, careers and relationships, and financial hardship. AYA lack access to peers, relevant information and …
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (XRT) and Immunotherapy for Oligometastatic Extracranial Melanoma
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the addition of radiotherapy to the standard immunotherapy drugs that are given to patients with advanced or metastatic melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body. Radiotherapy uses x-rays to target and kill melanoma cells and immunotherapy works by activating …
WRAP North America
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the WRAPSODY CIE in a real-world North American population. Participants treated with the WRAPSODY CIE device in accordance with the device instructions for use will be followed in accordance with standard of care up to 3-years …
Threonine Requirement in Adult Males With Crohn's Disease Using IAAO
The goal of the current study is to measure the requirement for threonine in patients with CD using the IAAO method and compare the requirement to previously determined threonine requirement estimated in young adults using the IAAO technique. It is hypothesize that the requirement for threonine in patients with CD …
Combined Gamma Knife/Linac Radiosurgery for Large Brain Tumors / Metastases
When cancer spreads to the brain, doctors often use a precise type of radiation therapy called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat these tumors. This treatment can effectively control brain tumors while helping protect healthy brain tissue. However, when brain tumors or the areas where tumors were surgically removed are larger, …
A Trial of ABSK043, an Oral PD-L1 Inhibitor, in Patients With Angiogenic Sarcomas
ABSK043 is a new type of experimental drug that blocks a protein called programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is important in controlling the body's response to harmful substances including cancer cells. By blocking PD-L1 from working, ABSK043 may allow the body's immune system to recognize and kill cancer …
Evaluating the Use of Educational Videos in Newly Diagnosed Patients in a Medical Oncology Sarcoma Clinic
This study aims to evaluate how sarcoma-specific educational videos improve patients' knowledge of their disease and treatment options before their first clinic appointment. Participants will watch four educational videos before their first appointment with a medical oncologist. Participants will be asked to complete surveys to assess their understanding of sarcoma …
