Individualized Treatment Plan in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma
The current study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant's tumor. The study will test the feasibility in the pilot phase of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery in patients with relapsed medulloblastoma or ependymoma and of having a specialized …
Electrical Impedance Myography: Natural History Studies inNeuromuscular Disorders and Healthy Volunteers
Background \- Electrical impedance myography (EIM) is a new technique being studied to see if it is helpful in evaluating muscle disorders and nerve disorders. EIM looks at how a mild, painless electrical current travels through muscles. Researchers want to gain experience in using the EIM device. They will collect …
An Open-Label, Proof of Consent Study of Vorinostat for the Treatment of Mdoerate-to-Severe Crohn s Disease and Maintenance Therapy With Ustekinumab
Background Crohn s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation of the gut. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. CD has no cure, but symptoms can sometimes be controlled with medicine. Researchers want to see if it is safe to treat CD …
Nivolumab in Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Positive Lymphoproliferative Disorders and EBV-Positive Non-HodgkinLymphomas
Background The drug Nivolumab has been approved to treat some cancers. Researchers want to see if it can slow the growth of other cancers. They want to study its effects on cancers that may have not responded to chemotherapy or other treatments. Objectives To see if Nivolumab slows the growth …
Administration of Autologous T-Cells Genetically Engineered to Express T-Cell Receptors Reactive Against Neoantigens in People With Metastatic Cancer
Background A person s tumor is studied for mutations. When cells are found that can attack the mutation in a person s tumor, the genes from those cells are studied to find the parts that make the attack possible. White blood cells are then taken from the person s body, …
PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Background About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated …
CHIP/CCUS Natural History Protocol
Background Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) is a change in a person s DNA that can increase a person s risk of developing blood cancers or cardiovascular disease. CHIP occurs mostly occurs in older people. Clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) occurs when one or more blood cell types …
5-aza-4'-Thio-2'-Deoxycytidine (Aza-TdC) in People With Advanced Solid Tumors
Background Blood, tissue, and tumor cells contain genes. Genes are made up of DNA. DNA is the "instruction book" for each cell. In some people with cancer, the genes that might have slowed the growth of their tumor were "turned off." Researchers want to see if a new drug can …
Natural History Study of Patients With Neurofibromatosis Type 2
Objective With this prospective natural experiment trial on neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) study, we hope to understand the factors leading to tumor progression and neurological disease burden in NF2. Study Population A total of 269 participants, ages 8-75, with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of NF2 will participate in this …
Efficacy of the COronary SInus Reducer in Patients With Refractory Angina II
Evaluation Compared with traditional NACT, whether PIPAC can increase the incidence of CRS3 determines the rationality of choosing PIPAC.
