Clinical trial: Use of Transvenous Pacing Wire During Minimally Invasive Port Access Aortic Valve Surgery

Summary: The study is being done to determine if the Endovent pulmonary catheter kit, used for port access surgery, can be used as a passageway for a pacing wire. The study hypothesis is that the Endovent kit can be used effectively as a passageway for a pacing wire system.

Detailed description: Many times cardiac surgery requires the use of epicardial pacing in order to wean the patient from bypass. During minimally invasive port access valve surgery, it may not be possible to place the leads on the surface of the heart because of the limited surgical exposure. In this case, transvenous pacing is used. Minimally invasive port access surgery uses specially designed, FDA approved catheters for the procedure. We wish to review the effectiveness of being able to place the wires through the catheters and pace the patient.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  >= 18 years of age patients having aortic valve port access surgery

Clinical trial: Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Midostaurin (PKC412) in Patients With c-KIT or FLT3-ITD Mutated t(8;21) AML

Summary: To assess the efficacy of tyrosine-kinase inhibitor midostaurin in c-KIT or FLT3-ITD mutated t(8;21) AML. To assess the efficacy of midostaurin depending on the type of c-KIT mutation

Detailed description: AML patients displaying t(8;21) have a relatively favourable outcome. Nevertheless, only approximately 50% of patients carrying this cytogenetic aberration are alive at 5 years. This suggests that some patients have more aggressive leukemic phenotypes and indicates the need for treatment optimization with novel therapies.
  The mutated KIT gene as well as the FLT3-ITD mutation have recently been identified as factors most likely to explain the heterogeneous clinical outcomes within the group of t(8;21) AML. The FLT3 and c-KIT genes encode type III receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) with important and partly redundant functions in early hematopoietic stem cells. Various activating mutations have been described for both genes. For c-KIT, the incidence ranges from 17 to 48% depending on the source population and type of mutations determined. It has been consistently shown that in AMLs with t(8;21), mutated c-KIT is associated with a dramatically increased risk of relapse and reduced overall survival compared to their unmutated counterparts. The FLT3-ITD mutation has a similar negative effect on prognosis in the patient group of t(8;21) mutated AMLs as c-KIT.
  PKC412 (midostaurin) is known to inhibit the c-KIT RTK activity as well as the FLT3 kinase, both in patients with ITD and TKD mutations. It should therefore be possible to abrogate the negative impact of pathologically increased c-KIT or FLT3-ITD activity on relapse and overall survival by using midostaurin in this patient population. Aim of the proposed clinical trial is to prove the efficacy of midostaurin in c-KIT or FLT3-ITD mutated t(8;21)- AMLs in an open-label one-arm design.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Diagnosis of c-KIT mutated t(8;21) AML i.e.
  1. >20% myeloid blasts in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood at initial diagnosis
  2. Plus cytogenetic diagnosis of aberration t(8;21)/AML1-ETO
  3. Plus mutation of c-KIT gene (mut-KIT17 or mut-KIT8) or FLT3-ITD mutation or both c-KIT and FLT3-ITD mutations
  -  Chemoresponsive disease as determined by early bone marrow assessment on day 14-16 after first cycle of induction therapy with cytarabine in combination with daunorubicine or idarubicine, or mitoxantrone- Fit for further intensive chemotherapy
  -  Age 18-65 years
  -  ECOG performance status of 0-2
  -  Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Primary refractory or previously relapsed AML
  -  Non-eligibility for high-dose cytarabine based consolidation, e.g. intolerance to cytarabine

Clinical trial: Spiration IBV® Valve System and Spiration Airway Sizing Kit

Summary: This procedure allows patients to use the Humanitarian Use Device, IBV® Valve System.

Detailed description: IBV® Valve System The Spiration® IBV Valve System is a device to control prolonged air leaks of the lung, or significant air leaks that are likely to become prolonged air leaks following lobectomy, segmentectomy, or lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). An air leak present on postoperative day 7 is considered prolonged unless present only during forced exhalation or cough. An air leak present on day 5 should be considered for treatment if it is: 1) continuous, 2) present during normal inhalation phase of inspiration, or 3) present upon normal expiration and accompanied by subcutaneous emphysema or respiratory compromise. IBV Valve System use is limited to 6 weeks per prolonged air leak.

Clinical trial: Modified Melanoma Vaccine for High Risk or Low Residual Disease Patients

Summary: This study is designed for patients who had malignant melanoma and, following tumor removal, are now free of disease, or have only very minor residual disease, and are at a very high risk of disease recurrence. These patients will be treated with the A2/4-1BBL melanoma vaccine, a compatible melanoma cell line that has been engineered to express a molecule termed 4-1BBL, which enhances the chances of the cell line to be recognized by the patient's immune system, and to induce its stimulation. The hypothesis that drives the study states that the immune response against the cell line will also be effective against the residual tumor that may still be present in the body.

Clinical trial: Randomized Trial of In-Home Cervical Cancer Screening in Underscreened Women

Summary: The purpose of this trial is to determine whether mailing in-home human papillomavirus (HPV) screening kits is effective in increasing uptake of cervical cancer screening and early detection and treatment of cervical neoplasia in underscreened women.

Detailed description: Over half of all cervical cancers in the U.S. are diagnosed in unscreened or underscreened women. New national guidelines identify increasing screening uptake as the number one priority for reducing cervical cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Innovative screening strategies that eliminate the need for clinic-based screening could be highly effective in improving screening compliance while maintaining high-quality care. We propose a large, pragmatic randomized controlled trial within Group Health (a large integrated health care delivery system in Washington State) to compare effectiveness of two programmatic approaches to increasing cervical cancer screening among overdue women. The first approach (control arm) is usual care at Group Health, which consists of patient- and provider-level services to promote adherence to Pap screening, and the second approach (intervention arm) includes usual care plus a mailed in-home high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) screening kit. We will randomize eligible women to the in-home hrHPV screening arm or the usual care arm. Compared to usual care, we hypothesize that in-home hrHPV screening will enhance early detection and treatment of cervical neoplasia and improve compliance with screening. The trial will provide definitive evidence-based data on the impact of an in-home hrHPV screening program in a real-world clinical setting.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:

Clinical trial: Circulating Cell-free DNA in Metastatic Melanoma Patient: Mutational Analyses in Consecutive Measurement Before and After Chemotherapy

Summary: Therapies that target specific molecules markedly inhibit cancer growth in several malignancies, and provide valuable strategies for the treatment of advanced melanoma. In recent years, BRAF and KIT have become established therapeutic targets in melanoma patients showing activating mutations in these oncogenes. However, it is crucial that genetic mutations present in the melanoma lesions are identified if the investigators are to design tailormade therapies for individual patients. The tumour genotypes that determine the selection of molecular-targeted therapies are usually identified in primary tumours; however, primary tumours are not always representative of metastases. Circulating free DNA may be a source of valuable information because it can be obtained via routine blood sampling, it provides real-time information about a patient's current disease state, and it allows monitoring and molecular characterization before and after chemotherapy. The aim of the study is to determine the mutational status in circulating DNA in melanoma metastatic patients, with the Sequenom Mass Array, a next generation sequencing technology. Results obtained before and after treatment will be compared with the primary tumor genotype.
