Novel MRI-Guided Ultrasound Stimulated Microbubble Radiation Treatment for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of novel MRI-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment to enhance radiation effects in humans receiving external beam radiotherapy delivered using a LINAC (linear accelerator) radiation therapy device.
Study of the R3 Vascular Drug-Eluting Bioresorbable Scaffold in Treating Below the Knee Arterial Disease
This first-in-human clinical feasibility study will evaluate the safety and performance of the R3 Vascular MAGNITUDE® Bioresorbable Drug-Eluting Scaffold and Delivery System in patients undergoing treatment for peripheral arterial disease severe enough to have significantly reduced the blood supply to their leg. The severe reduction in blood flow causes lifestyle …
Virtual Reality Reward Training and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Depression
Anhedonia is a core feature of major depressive disorder (MDD) (DSM-5). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have associated anhedonia in MDD with altered frontostriatal activity and functional connectivity relative to controls. Conversely, antidepressant treatment is associated with increased ability for patients with MDD to sustain frontostriatal activity in a …
FDG-PET and Circulating HPV in Patients With Cervical Cancer Treated With Definitive Chemoradiation (II)
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can be detected in cancer tissue by laboratory tests. There is evidence that the virus can also be detected from a blood sample to monitor the effects of treatment. Previous studies have shown that a special test …
Hypertonic Saline for MAC
The MAC-HS study is a testing whether hypertonic saline helps improve symptoms and clearance of mycobacteria in patients with M. avium complex lung infections.
Minimizing Toxicity in HLA-identical Related Donor Transplantation for Children With Sickle Cell Disease
This multisite prospective study seeks to determine if HLA-identical sibling donor transplantation using alemtuzumab, low dose total-body irradiation, and sirolimus (Sickle transplant Using a Nonmyeloablative approach, "SUN") can decrease the toxicity of transplant while achieving a high cure rate for children with sickle cell disease (SCD).
2 Ablative RadioTherapy Treatments for Prostate Cancer
Favorable-risk prostate cancer represent a large proportion of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is commonly used to treat these patients using protracted courses of up to 39 treatments over 8 weeks. Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) protocols hold the promise of more convenience, less …
Mechanisms and Outcome-Prognostication for Paresthesia-based and -Free Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) relies on stimulation of pain-relieving pathways in the spinal cord to treat chronic neuropathic pain. Traditional paresthesia-based SCS (PB-SCS) relies on providing analgesia through stimulation of spinal cord dorsal columns but it is often associated with attenuation of analgesic benefit and lack of acceptance of paresthesias. …
Study of Olaparib and Durvalumab in IDH-Mutated Solid Tumors
This is a phase 2 study of the combination of drugs olaparib and durvalumab for the treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase or (IDH) mutated solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the drug combination via overall response rate and overall disease control rate. It is …
Self-Care Training for Family Caregivers of Persons With Neurodegeneration
The purpose of this study is to assess whether an 8-week mindfulness program enhances psychological well-being (e.g., stress, depressive symptoms), biological indicators of stress (e.g., inflammation), and cognitive function (e.g., attentional ability) in primary family caregivers of persons with dementia or a related neurodegenerative disease. A total of 232 primary …
