Brief Summary
This study will examine the effects of certain investigational anti-cancer drugs on the genetic and protein makeup of cells. The findings will be entered into a database that may be used to: 1) determine the optimal dose of drug that will provide the most benefit with the least harmful side effects; and 2) predict which patients will have a greater chance of developing side effects or a greater chance of benefiting from the drug.
Patients 18 years of age and older who are receiving the anti-cancer drugs flavopiridol or perifosine in an NIH clinical trial may be eligible for this study.
Participants will undergo the following procedures both before starting treatment and during the first treatment cycle to look for genetic or chemical changes produced in response to the study drug:
* Blood draws.
* Buccal cell brushings: Collection of buccal cells (cells lining the inside of the cheeks) from the inside of the cheeks using a soft bristle brush for a few seconds several times. The patient then rinses the mouth with salt water for 1 minute and then spits into a cup.
* Buccal cell biopsies (on both sides of the mouth): For this procedure, a local anesthetic is given to numb the biopsy area. Then, a small piece of tissue from the inner lining of the mouth is removed with a small sharp cookie-cutter instrument. The biopsy findings will be compared with those of the cheek brushings to see if the information is similar.
* Tumor biopsies: In patients whose tumor is easily accessible, such as the skin abdominal fluid, tissue biopsies will be requested. Depending on the type and location of the tumor, the biopsy may be done with a forceps, a large needle (needle biopsy), a cookie-cutter instrument (punch biopsy), or a small knife (excisional biopsy). All of these procedures are done with a local anesthetic.
Detailed Description
A significant problem in drug development of novel small molecules is the lack of available tissues (surrogate tissues) that allow for the assessment of the molecular and biochemical effects of (targeted-therapies) drug action. The information obtained from surrogate tissues might help us validate previous preclinical studies with those agents and also dose them in a more rational way. Oral keratinocytes, which are accessible by non-invasive means, might be useful to assess drug action. The proposed study seeks to investigate the genetic, molecular, and biochemical effects of novel agents in oral buccal mucosal cells. Patients already enrolled in Phase I and II clinical trials for neoplastic diseases at the Clinical Center will undergo oral cytobrushing before and during therapy to determine the molecular and biochemical effects of novel agents in the oral mucosa cells. Similar studies will be performed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In order to validate to compare and compare the oral cytobrush methodology, some of these subjects will undergo oral punch biopsy studies. Some of these subjects will also undergo tumor biopsy, if accessible or available.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle relaxation are effective as stress reducing techniques in parents of hospitalized children with cancer.
Detailed Description
Having a children with cancer can be a source of stress for parents during hospitalization. The stress experienced by the parents can negatively influence their functionality, daily activities, psychological state and also their physical condition. The studies in the literature have mainly focused on the child rather than the parent, and studies specifically for guided imagery are scarce. Since the parents are often neglected by the healthcare professionals during the stress evoking period of hospitalization, this study will test the effectiveness of complementary methods in improving the psychological state of the parents.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- Daily implementation of the guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation techniques additionally to weekly supervised sessions. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* willingness to participate
* having a child with childhood cancer been hospitalized for 4 weeks
* have a child (0 <= age <= 18) of age with childhood cancer
* able to speak and write Greek fluently
* no previous experience with CAM techniques
Exclusion Criteria:
* receiving drug therapy for stress
* using another CAM technique during the study
* parents of children receiving palliative care

Brief Summary
Most bone marrow transplantations for malignant and non-malignant disease include whole body irradiation. Techniques for administering that treatment, including patient positioning, lung and soft tissue compensation, dose rate, total dose and fractionation differ between institutions. These differences are optimized at each institution to limit toxicity and maximize therapeutic outcome.
Technically complex procedures such as total body radiation are subject to equipment failures. Such failures mid-treatment could be catastrophic to the patient, since therapy must be timely and compatible therapy may not be available elsewhere in the community. The purpose of this protocol is to provide backup between George Washington University Medical Center and the Radiation Oncology Branch of the NCI to allow for orderly, safe, and compatible therapies in the event of equipment failure; or replacement of a linear accelerator or any other malfunctioning equipment necessary to deliver TBI; or any emergent situation.

Brief Summary
The study's aim is to provide information about the clinical and business cases for comprehensive interactive cancer communication systems (ICCS) in the context of real world use for cancer care.
This study will be conducted within the Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) healthcare system. Outcomes for this study include amount of ICCS use and women's ratings of cancer information competence, perceived social support, and emotional well being. Secondary outcomes will include healthcare utilization, cost-effectiveness, and clinician ratings of healthcare visits.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Enhanced ICCS with KPNW web resources and the Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS.)
- Half of the participating women will be randomly assigned to use an informative but static website (Basic ICCS), and half will be offered a fully interactive CHESS (Enhanced ICCS + the Basic ICCS). Study outcome data will be gathered from patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system (i.e., from the electronic medical record: EMR) for at least 8 months after study entry. We propose that the Enhanced ICCS relative to the Basic ICCS, will:
* Improve patients' sense of cancer information competence (perceived ability to obtain and use relevant information)
* Reduce patients' negative affect and increase their emotional well being
* Improve patients' sense of social support
* Improve patients' health self-efficacy
* Improve patients' ratings of experience with cancer specialty care services
* Improve patients' health related quality of life (HRQL)
* Improve clinicians' ratings of quality of patient contacts
* Reduce healthcare utilization and costs (obtained via the EMR) | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
This protocol seeks to enroll smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significant (MGUS) patients with λ light chain (LC) involvement, a group of patients for whom standard of care is observation not treatment. Patients with SMM and MGUS have a precursor plasma cell disorder from which light chain amyloidosis (AL) can evolve. In this trial, enrolled subjects will have blood and if available bone marrow cells evaluated by molecular testing to determine their clonal λ LC variable region (VL) germline gene. Seventy percent of AL cases involve just 7 germline donors, 5 of which are λ germline donors. The hypothesis that will be tested with this protocol is that the presence of AL germline genes associated with AL in patients with a pre-existing diagnosis of λ SMM or λ MGUS indicates the presence of AL or risk of progression to AL.
Detailed Description
In this trial up to 200 patients with either λ light chain (LC) monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or λ LC smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) with a κ::λ LC ratio \< 0.26 and whose λ minus κ LC difference (dFLC) is greater than 23 mg/L will be recruited. Heavy chain type will not affect patient eligibility as long as the involved LC is λ type.
Patients may learn about the trial through internet advertisements and contact the data manager to receive the study's enrollment documents. Patient recruitment will be open to all eligible patient within the United States. Informed consent may be obtained in person or by phone. After the patient has completed a HIPPA release form, the patient's physician will be contacted and informed of the patient's consent to this study and will be asked to provide medical records for screening. If the patient is found eligible, the patient and physician will be informed of the required samples for the protocol, which include peripheral blood and marrow aspirate, if available, with both taken during routine clinical procedures. Prepaid FedEx boxes will be provided by the study to ship research samples to Tufts Medical Center for remote patients.
Both the peripheral blood and marrow samples will be tested for the presence of variable region (VL) germline genes in our Tufts Medical Center laboratory. In addition, plasma isolated from the peripheral blood sample (as well as the corresponding identified germline gene) will be sent to the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Wall at the University of Tennessee for assay analysis. The assay will seek to distinguish the presence of amyloidogenic vs. non-amyloidogenic light chains. Germline gene results from Tufts Medical Center will be shared with patients and their physicians; however, University of Tennessee assay analysis will not be shared due to its experimental nature.
The analysis of this trial will be based on the frequency with which enrolled MGUS and SMM patients are found to have genes associated with light chain amyloidosis (AL), are found to have asymptomatic AL or symptomatic AL, or progress to AL. The diagnosis of AL is a tissue diagnosis. If amyloidosis is suspected at any time during a subject's participation, their physician will be contacted and given recommendations regarding diagnostic tests and disease staging.
| #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* MGUS and SMM patients with λ LC involvement with dFLC > 23 mg/L and κ:: λ free LC ratios < 0.26. Subjects must be able to share their medical records and ship us bone marrow and blood samples.
Exclusion Criteria:
* MGUS and SMM patients with light chains that do not meet the inclusion criteria as well as patients with κ LC involvement or active myeloma will not be included. And patients who are unable to send us blood and marrow for any reason will not be eligible.

Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the adjuvant administration of oral nanocurcumin in 90% TCA therapy that increases the proportion of clinical improvement in patients with Anogenital Warts (AGW), mediated by NFĸB, IFN-γ, and FOXP3+Treg. Specific objectives of this clinical trial include:
* To prove that the oral administration of nanocurcumin decreases the levels of IFN-γ, FOXP3+Treg, and NFĸB in lesions of AGW patients, and
* To demonstrate that the reduction in IFN-γ, FOXP3+Treg, and NFĸB levels in lesions is associated with the proportion of clinical improvement in AGW patients undergoing TCA 90% therapy with adjuvant of oral nanocurcumin.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does adjuvant oral nanocurcumin administration in 90% TCA therapy increase the proportion of clinical improvement in patients with AGW compared to controls (90% TCA therapy alone)?
* Is there a greater decrease in IFN-γ, FOXP3+Treg, and NFĸB levels in lesions of patients with AGW given adjuvant oral nanocurcumin compared to controls?
* Is the decrease in IFN-γ, FOXP3+TReg, and NFĸB levels in lesions of patients with AGW, with adjunctive oral nanocurcumin administration in 90% TCA therapy, associated with the degree of clinical improvement in patients with AGW?
Participants will be divided into 2 groups. The first one was given capsules without active ingredients/nanocurcumin (control group), and the second one was given capsules with nanocurcumin (experimental group), both group received a dosage of 200mg capsules per day after breakfast, for 8 weeks. The researchers conducted a comparison between those 2 groups to assess whether the adjuvant administration of oral nanocurcumin in 90% TCA therapy enhances the proportion of clinical improvement in patients with AGW.
Detailed Description
The study is expected to enhance various aspects, including education, healthcare services, and research development aspects. This research aims to improve the understanding of the efficacy of oral nanocurcumin administration in patients with AGW and its implications on clinical aspects and its biomarkers (IFN-γ, Treg FOXP3+, and NF-kB levels) in AGW lesions. Therefore, it is anticipated to enhance the clinical improvement of the patients, potentially reducing the transmission rate of the disease. Furthermore, this study serves as a foundation for the development of future therapies for patients with AGW, opening avenues for further research endeavors, and exploring traditional medicine as a medical therapy with a robust evidence base.
Subjects were obtained from multiple centers in Indonesia, predominantly in Jakarta and nearby the area, such as, from the Dermatology \& Venereology outpatient clinic at Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital, HIV and STI Clinics at Tambora Health Center (CINTTA Clinic), Penjaringan Health Center, Kalideres Health Center, Taman Sari Health Center, Cengkareng Health Center, and several foundations that provide care for HIV and STI patients. The acetic acid testing was conducted to confirm the diagnosis of AGW.
Lesions meeting the research criteria (a minimum of 3 lesions, and the diameter of at least one lesion is between 5 mm to under 50 mm) continued to be treated with 90% TCA solution. If participants had giant AGW lesions, they were referred to the Surgery outpatient clinic at Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital for further management. Participants underwent 8 weekly visits.
Sample collection and drug administration protocol included: sample collection using wet cotton swabs swiped on the lesion for biomarkers (IFN-γ, FOXP3+TReg, and NFĸB) examination, as well as blood collection for HIV and CD4+ examination at week 1, 4, and 8, application of 90% TCA solution + nanocurcumin/control capsule administration at every visit for 8 weeks, along with control and clinical evaluation / side effect assessment. If lesions were no longer visible and the acetic acid test was negative by week 8, the lesions were considered healed and no further application of 90% TCA solution was conducted, but biomarkers examination continued. If lesions were still visible, application would continue until lesions were healed, with treatment continued at a center accessible to the patient. Participants who tested positive for HIV were referred to the HIV outpatient clinic for appropriate treatment.
Additional details related to the drug administration and sample collection protocol included:
* Participants were provided with information sheets on how to consume the medication and instructed on its usage and were required to fill out a Medication Diary every time they took the medication, experienced lapses, or developed any complaints.
* In case of non-compliance or lapses, patients were asked to write down and report to the contact number listed in the Diary.
* To reduce discomfort, the skin swabbing process was performed carefully and with sufficient time. Each patient was provided with Gentamicin cream to take home, in case of unwanted infections occurring at home, and were instructed to report to the researcher for further management.
* In case of side effects such as allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or severe headaches, patients were instructed to report and discontinue medication consumption. They were provided with medication to alleviate symptoms and considered dropouts.
* Medications were provided for side effects including mild allergic reactions. For severe allergic reactions, participants were advised to immediately go to the nearest Emergency Department for management and the researcher would accompany them.
* The education provided to the participants included the following: scheduled follow-up visits every 7 days after therapy, postponement of sexual intercourse or the use protection (condoms), Counseling regarding the possibility of HIV and other STI transmission risks for themselves and their sexual partners, recommendation for pap smear examinations every 3 years for women aged 21 years and older, and Informing the sexual partners of the participants about the possibility of transmission even in the absence of visible lesions and encouraging them to undergo examinations.

Brief Summary
Dupuytren disease (DD) is a progressive fibromatosis of the palmar fascias of the hand and fingers, which may lead to extension deficits of the fingers. The disease can be very disabling in moderate and severe cases, whereby performing normal daily activities can become very problematic. The aetiology and pathogenesis are not completely understood. There is a genetic disposition and it is influenced by environmental factors. The disease is especially prevalent in white males of Northern European descent above 50 years of age. There is paucity of knowledge about the natural progression of the disease. Several studies have been conducted on progression of disease and from these studies it becomes obvious that the disease is progressive over several years. However, in most studies only one moment of follow-up has taken place, so the course of the progression over time is unknown.
The aim of this study is to enhance our knowledge on the natural disease progression of DD at different stages.
Detailed Description
Objective:
* Primary objective: To study natural disease progress of Dupuytren Disease (DD) in different stages of disease in males and females above 18 years of age.
* Secondary objectives:
1. To study the effect of potential risk factors for DD on natural disease progress.
2. To study at what stage of disease patients with DD experience problems in daily life.
3. To study the incidence and course of recurrent disease. Primary Hypothesis: The natural course of disease is an exponential function of time.
4. To study the intrarater reliability of the measurements
f. To determine whether the echogenicity of the nodules can predict progression g. To determine whether extension deficit measurements can be replaced by measurements of extension, and whether this will facilitate the statistical analysis h. To determine the association between passive and active measurements of extension and extension deficit, and to see whether active measurements can be derived from passive measurements and vice versa.
* Study design: The study is designed as a prospective observational pilot study with a follow-up of 10 years.
* Study population: Males and females above 18 years of age with all stages of primary Dupuytren's disease in at least one hand
* Main study parameters/endpoints: The natural course of progression of DD measured as the increase or decrease in size of nodules and cords in millimetres and/or increase of total passive extension deficit in degrees, from baseline to endpoint.
* Secondary study parameters:
1. Patient-reported hand function (Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHOQ), Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) and Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main (URAM) scale
2. incidence and course of recurrent disease
3. disease activity (ultrasonography and tonometry)
* Procedure Patients visit the outpatient clinic every 6 months (first 5 years of follow-up) and later on every 12 months (last 5 years of follow-up) for an anamnestic interview, physical examination of the hands, ultrasonography, tonometry and for filling out the PROMs.

Brief Summary
The incidence of melanoma is increasing with an estimated incidence of 59,940 cases and an annual death rate of 8110 in 2007. Although patients diagnosed with early stage disease have an excellent clinical outcome, patients diagnosed with advanced or recurrent disease, continue to have a high mortality rate, even with initial optimal surgical resection. Effective adjuvant strategies are needed to increase the time to progression and to decrease the recurrence rate. Immunotherapy has long been recognized as a potential therapy for melanoma; the goal of adjuvant vaccine therapy is to train the endogenous immune system to recognize and target minimal residual disease.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase I open label dose escalation study of the TLR3 agonist Poly-ICLC as an adjuvant for NY-ESO-1 protein vaccination in patients with high risk melanoma in clinical complete remission (cCr), followed by a randomized Phase II component in which patients will be randomized to subcutaneous vaccination of NY-ESO-1 protein with Poly-ICLC alone dose TBD (Arm A) or with NY-ESO-1 protein, Poly-ICLC dose TBD and Montanide® ISA-51 VG (Montanide) (Arm B).
Patients with histological confirmed malignant melanoma, AJCC Stages: IIB, IIC, III or IV, who are in complete clinical remission (cCr) but at high risk of disease recurrence, will be eligible for enrollment, regardless of whether antigen expression in the autologous tumor can be demonstrated by either PCR or immunohistochemistry.
Primary Objectives:
* Phase I: To define the safety of subcutaneous vaccination with NY-ESO-1 protein, Montanide and escalating doses of Poly-ICLC.
* Phase II: To evaluate the induction of humoral and T cell (CD4+ and CD8+) immunity to subcutaneous vaccination with NY-ESO-1 protein in combination with Poly-ICLC when given with or without Montanide.
Exploratory analyses:
* Evaluation of primary tumor expression of NY-ESO-1 by IHC or RT-PCR.
* Histologic quantitation of original tumor TILs (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes), CD3+ cells, evaluation of mitotic index and correlation of this data with immunologic response.
* Correlation of NY-ESO-1 specific T cell responses with HLA type
* Investigation of polymorphisms for TLR3 through germline SNP analysis.
* Clinical Outcome (Time to Progression) reported descriptively.
* Skin section analysis of protein/adjuvant treated sites for immune cell infiltration and gene expression analysis
#Intervention
- BIOLOGICAL : NY-ESO-1 protein; Poly-ICLC; Montanide
- Phase I represents the dose-escalation component with Poly-ICLC given in combination with NY-ESO-1 and Montanide in an open-label fashion. The dose of Poly-ICLC will be increased stepwise from 0.35mg to 1.4mg while the dose of NY-ESO-1 antigen (100µg) and Montanide (1.1mL) will be held constant.
Phase II: The doses of NY-ESO-1 and Montanide will remain the same as in Phase I; the highest tolerated Phase I dose of Poly-ICLC will become the Phase II Poly-ICLC dose. In Phase II, patients will be randomized to a subcutaneous vaccination of NY-ESO-1 protein with Poly-ICLC alone dose TBD (Arm A) or with NY-ESO-1 protein, Poly-ICLC dose TBD and Montanide (Arm B).

Brief Summary
To assess the optimal sequence of the palliative chemotherapy regimen (DP --\> FOLFIRI vs FOLFIRI --\> DP) in metastatic gastric cancer patients.
Detailed Description
Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is the most common malignancy in Korea. Metastatic gastric cancer remains a therapeutic challenge for medical oncologists due to poor prognosis. A recent phase III trial comparing docetaxel-cisplatin-5-FU (DCF) to the reference arm of cisplatin-5-FU (CF) showed a significant superiority of DCF in terms of survival, time-to-progression, and response rate. However, because DCF regimen was associated with high incidence of toxicities, the regimen has not yet been widely accepted as the standard first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients. Thus, the optimum front-line chemotherapy regimen should be extensively investigated in these patients to improve survival.

Brief Summary
This pilot trial studies how well an ultrasound with a contrast agent (perflubutane microbubble \[Sonazoid\]) works in identifying sentinel lymph nodes in participants with esophageal cancer. Sentinel lymph nodes are lymph nodes to which the cancer is likely to spread from the primary tumor. Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, may work better in identifying sentinel lymph nodes and finding out how far the disease has spread.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the accuracy of contrast-enhanced endoscopic lymphosonography guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of sentinel lymph nodes compared with unenhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) guided FNA in the characterization of esophageal cancer-associated lymph nodes using pathology as the reference standard.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the ability of contrast-enhanced endoscopic lymphosonography guided FNA compared with unenhanced EUS guided FNA in the overall detection of biopsy proven cancer-involved sentinel lymph nodes.
II. To assess the impact of overall tumor staging by contrast-enhanced endoscopic lymphosonography compared with unenhanced EUS.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to learn if the study drug RAD001 can shrink or slow the growth of low-grade gliomas in children with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Additionally, the safety of RAD001 will be studied.
The study drug, RAD001, is a drug that may act directly on tumor cells by preventing tumor cell growth and development. RAD001 has been studied in participants with various types of cancer as a single agent (a drug that is used alone to treat the cancer) or in combination with a number of well known anticancer therapies. Information from these research studies suggests that RAD001 may help to shrink or slow the growth of low-grade gliomas.
In this research study, the investigators are looking to see the response of RAD001 in children with low-grade gliomas and NF1 that have either not responded to treatment or have come back after treatment. We are also looking for the highest dose of RAD001 that can be given safely in this patient population.
Detailed Description
After signing this consent form, you will be asked to undergo some screening tests or procedures to find out if you can be in the research study. These tests and procedures are likely to be part of regular glioma care and may be done even if it turns out that you do not take part in the research study. If you have had some of these tests or procedures recently, they may or may not have to be repeated.
A medical history, which involves questions about your health history, any medications you are taking or plan to take, and any allergies.
A physical exam, during which you will be asked about any problems that you might be having. Additionally, your clinician will check your vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure) and bodily systems (respiratory, nervous, digestive, etc). The doctor will also evaluate your performance status, which indicates how much your illness affects your activity level.
Blood tests, including tests to measure any effects of your disease. Approximately 1-2 teaspoons of blood will be drawn for these tests.
Urine test, which will be done to make sure your kidneys are functioning properly.
An assessment of your tumor using scans of the brain. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) will be used to look at and evaluate the tumor.
An Electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures the electrical activity of your heart
A pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential. A small amount of blood (about half a teaspoon) or urine will be drawn for this test.
If these tests show that you are eligible to participate in the research study, you will begin the study treatment. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, you will not be able to participate in this research study.
#Intervention
- DRUG : RAD001 (Everolimus)
- If you take part in this research study, you will be given a participant diary for each treatment course to help you keep track of when you take your RAD001. You will be required to bring the completed diary at each scheduled visit. A treatment 'course' lasts 4 weeks and there will not be any breaks between courses. You may stay on study for a total of 12 courses (48 weeks).
You will take the study medication (tablets) by mouth, once a day during each course for as long as you are participating in this study. You will also be required to take an antibiotic during treatment to prevent infection.

Brief Summary
Prostate cancer is the second most incident cancer among male population worldwide. Radiation therapy by itself or along with surgery and chemotherapy are the main treatments for prostate cancer however prostate cancer cells are only modestly responsive or even unresponsive to the cytotoxic effects of radiotherapy. Recently some in vitro and in vivo studies showed radiosensitizing and radioprotective effects for curcumin. No clinical trial has been done in this area and it is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective with or without curcumin supplements in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Brief Summary
Background International guidelines underline the importance of strengthening the coordination and continuity of cancer care. The different roles of general practitioners and oncologists with regard to treatment, follow-up and rehabilitation during and after cancer treatment are often obscure to cancer patients. Parallel courses of healthcare are often taking place instead of coordinated care characterized by continuity and partnership between care providers. Patients may feel uncertain about the health professionals' skills and area of responsibility. Healthcare seeking and support during and after cancer treatment may, therefore, be inappropriate, leaving patients feeling insecure and lost between care providers.The study aims to design and evaluate a new way of communication and shared decision-making that brings the patient, the oncologist and general practitioner together in a shared video-consultation in the early phase of chemotherapeutic treatment. The effect of the intervention in addition to usual care will be tested in a randomized controlled trial at Vejle Hospital in the Region of Southern Denmark. Based on sample size calculation, investigators intent to include 300 patients at the Department of Oncology and their general practitioners. Results and process outcomes will be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively, questionnaires to patients, general practitioners and oncologists, and data from registers.
#Intervention
- OTHER : Shared video consultation between patient, general practitioner and oncologist
- At the start of the patients chemotherapy treatment a shared video consultation between the patient, general practitioner and oncologist will bee arranged. The video consultation should address distribution of roles, comorbidity, medicine, depression and anxiety symptoms, relatives and social resources. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Newly referred cancer patient scheduled for chemotherapy at the Department for Oncology, Vejle Hospital, Region of Southern Denmark
* Aged 18 years and over
* Able to speak and read Danish
* Mentally able to cooperate
* Listed with a general practitioner (98 % of the danish population)
* Written and verbal informed consent given

Brief Summary
To determine the activity of lenalidomide in the treatment of pediatric subjects with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (with second or greater relapse or refractory to at least 2 prior induction attempts) measured by morphological complete response defined as either a CR or CRi within the first 4 cycles of treatment.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase 2, Simon's Optimal two-stage design study, with an Optional Extension Phase (OEP), that will assess the activity, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenalidomide in pediatric subjects from 1 to ≤ 18 years of age with second or greater Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (rrAML). A total of 43 evaluable participants (18 participants in Stage 1 and an additional 25 participants in Stage 2) are required for assessment of the primary endpoint. To allow for participants found to be unevaluable for the primary endpoint due to an incorrect diagnosis, not having a disease assessment post screening, or who discontinued prior to receiving lenalidomide, up to 4 additional participants may be enrolled for a maximum of 47 evaluable subjects across approximately 70 sites. Approximately 50% of enrolled participants will be younger than 12 years of age to provide adequate PK data for this age subset.
If during Stage 1, at least 3 of 18 participants achieve a morphologic complete response (either CR or CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, then the study will proceed to Stage 2; otherwise, the study will be terminated. Similarly, if at the final analysis, at least 8 of 43 evaluable subjects across Stages 1 and 2 achieve a response (CR/CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, it will be concluded that lenalidomide has sufficient activity in pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) to warrant subsequent study. The optional extension phase (OEP) will allow participants who demonstrate clinical benefit, as assessed by the Investigator at the completion of 12 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, to continue receiving oral lenalidomide until they meet the criteria for study discontinuation. In the OEP, only safety, dosing, concomitant medications/procedures, and second primary malignancies (SPMs) will be monitored.
#Intervention
- DRUG : Lenalidomide
- Lenalidomide will be administered orally once daily for the first 21 days of every 28-day cycle. The starting dose will be 2 mg/kg/day with a maximum dose of 70 mg/day. Number of cycles: 12, or until evidence of progressive disease.

Brief Summary
This pilot and feasibility study studies how well nivolumab and combination chemotherapy work before surgery in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that could possibly be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to chemotherapy alone.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate development of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula in the post-operative period after neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab and fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) (FFX).
II. To evaluate pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant nivolumab and FOLFIRINOX (FFX).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate early efficacy measured by percent change of CA 19-9 response rate, R0 resection rate, overall response rate (ORR) and disease free survival (DFS).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES, OTHER ASSESSMENTS:
I. To determine degree of changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of nivolumab and modified (m) FFX on cell proliferation and apoptosis.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive fluorouracil IV over 10 minutes and over 46 hours, irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90-120 minutes, leucovorin calcium IV over 120 minutes, and oxaliplatin IV over 120 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatments repeat every 28 days for 3-6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 2-4 weeks after treatment, patients with resectable disease undergo surgery. Within 8-12 weeks after surgery, patients with successful resection may receive 6 additional cycles of fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2-3 months.

Brief Summary
This is a first time in human (FTIH), open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of GSK3174998 administered intravenously to participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors. This dose-escalation study will assess the safety, activity of GSK3174998 as monotherapy (Part 1), in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 2), and potentially in combination with additional therapies.
The study will be conducted in 2 parts, each part consisting of starting with a dose-escalation phase followed by a cohort expansion phase. GSK3174998 will first be evaluated as monotherapy in escalating doses. Once a dose of GSK3174998 has been identified that is both tolerable and demonstrates pharmacodynamic activity, enrollment of Part 2 may begin. In Part 2, escalating doses of GSK3174998 will be evaluated with fixed doses of pembrolizumab.
The maximum duration of treatment with GSK3174998 and pembrolizumab will be approximately 2 years or 35 cycles, whichever comes first. The follow-up period for safety assessments will be a minimum of 3 months from the date of the last dose. The post-treatment follow-up period will include disease assessments every 12 weeks until documented progressive disease (PD). Approximately 141 participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors will be enrolled.

Brief Summary
Renal cancer has traditionally been treated by surgical removal of the tumor, as the tumors are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. The traditional treatment, where the entire kidney and tumor were removed through an abdominal incision, may now have more long term problems than the actual cancer. As a result, less invasive techniques have been developed such as laparoscopic surgery where the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide (i.e. via an insufflation system) and the surgery performed with special instruments through small ports, known as trocars. Rapid advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques demand ongoing technological improvement.
Conventional insufflators and trocars allow for laparoscopic surgery to occur, however the system does not account for pressure changes within the abdomen when instruments are inserted or removed. The AirSeal® System consisting of an insufflation, filtration, and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS), a triple lumen filtered tube set, and a valve free trocar (AirSeal® Access Port) has been designed to create and maintain the pressure barrier throughout the procedure. The objective of this study is to collect comparative physiological, pulmonary compliance and surgical utility data for both the AirSeal® System and conventional insufflators and trocars in a controlled population undergoing laparoscopic/robotic renal or peri-renal procedures. Subjects enrolled in this study will have their procedure performed using either the AirSeal® System or a conventional insufflator and trocars. Both systems have been cleared for use by the FDA's 510(k) process and are currently employed in clinical practice, including at University of California, Irvine Medical Center. We hypothesize that with the use of the AirSeal® System, laparoscopic efficiencies and outcomes will be significantly greater than with the conventional insufflator and trocars system.
Detailed Description
Rapid advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques demand ongoing technological improvement.
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery to patient comfort and recovery have been made with procedures such as the cholecystectomy and gastric bypass. The AirSeal® System consists of an insufflation, filtration, and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS), a triple lumen filtered tube set, and a valve free trocar (AirSeal® Access Port). The device enables peritoneal access with a novel mechanism to maintain pneumoperitoneum without a mechanical seal. Specifically, the AirSeal® System creates a pressure barrier within the proximal housing of the cannula which acts as an invisible seal to maintain pneumoperitoneum during the course of surgery. It utilizes a re-circulation and filtration control unit (AirSeal® IFS) designed specifically for the AirSeal® Access Port to create and maintain the pressure barrier. The AirSeal® System has applications in abdominal minimally invasive surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for laparoscopic instruments. The insufflation and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS) is reusable and the AirSeal® Access Port and triple lumen filtered tube set are designed as single patient use devices. The 1st generation AirSeal® System received FDA 510(k) clearance in 2007 and the current system received FDA 510(k) Clearance in May 2011. Since that time, the AirSeal™ system has been used routinely in centers throughout the United States and has been observed by surgeons and anesthesia teams to provide a more gentle, stable, and consistent pneumoperitoneum. Initial evidence of this has reported in the literature1. Kavoussi and colleagues state; 'We have found that patients had blunted end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and CO2 elimination rates compared with the CO2 elimination rates observed in studies evaluating transperitoneal laparoscopy using the conventional trocar. To determine if a difference truly exists, CO2 elimination rates must be prospectively analyzed in a head to head comparison between valve-less and conventional trocars.' This study is designed to compare the physiological impact and pulmonary compliance of patients undergoing laparoscopic/robotic renal or peri-renal surgery with and without the AirSeal® System.

Brief Summary
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, with early detection being the key to improve prognosis and survival.
Randomized controlled trials have found that screening mammography has decreased the mortality of breast cancer by 30%.
However, with a sensitivity of 70%, mammography has its limitations particularly in women with dense breasts.
The use of breast MRI for screening has increased over the past decade. Most experiences exist in women at elevated familial risk of breast cancer. In these women, MRI screening shifts the stage distribution of breast cancers toward lower stages and reduces the fraction of interval cancers.
Kuhl et al in 2014 were the first to report on the feasibility of an abbreviated breast MRI protocol for breast cancer screening. Their protocol consisting of an unenhanced T1-weighted and first contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequence, subtraction imaging, and a single MIP image.
This groundbreaking study found that image acquisition and interpretation time could be reduced without having a negative impact on diagnostic accuracy.
Detailed Description
Breast MRI screening is associated with high direct and indirect costs. These, together with the lack of sites that offer high-level breast MRI, limit clinical access to screening MRIs.
One reason for the high cost is that current breast MRI protocols are time consuming to acquire and read. A typical MRI study occupies the MRI system for up to 40 minutes and generates several hundred images.
DCE-MRI allows the assessment of high-resolution breast morphology and enhancement kinetics to depict angiogenesis as a tumor-specific feature. At any given field strength, DCE-MRI is the most sensitive modality for breast cancer detection, with a pooled sensitivity of 93%; DCE-MRI has good pooled specificity of 71%.
With the abbreviated MRI protocol, the acquisition time was substantially decreased to 3 minutes, compared with 17 minutes for the full diagnostic protocol. The interpretation time of the abbreviated protocol was 28 seconds on average and 2.8 seconds when the MIP image alone was evaluated.

Brief Summary
Phase Ib open label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 and VEGF bispecific antibody (AK112) combined with chemotherapy in patients with ES-SCLC.
Detailed Description
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive type of neuroendocrine tumor with the majority of patients (about 60-70%) being diagnosed with metastatic disease and with a median survival ranging from 7 to 12 months. Combination chemotherapy , namely a platinum and etoposide-based regimen, represents the cornerstone of treatment for extensive stage SCLC(ES-SCLC). Despite this the duration of response is short and nearly all patients develop disease relapse or progression. The recent approval of atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide as first line in patients with ES- SCLC is surely a step forward in the understanding the molecular landscape and treatment of this complex tumor, but new therapeutic approaches need to be explored.This trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic strategy that combines to carboplatin and etoposide, and a new drug AK112.The treatment will start with an induction phase during which eligible patients will receive, by intravenous way, a combination of the above mentioned drugs according to a specific administration regimen. This phase will last about 12 weeks. Thereafter the treatment will proceed with a maintenence phase lasting for a maximum of 24 months during which the patients will receive only AK112, by intravenous way. Treatment will be discontnued in case of until the toxicity became intolerable, the investigator determined that there was no further clinical benefit (based on a combination of RECIST V1.1 imaging assessment and clinical status), 24 months of treatment was completed, or the study was withdrawn for other reasons. During the study period the patients will undergo to periodic visits and laboratory, radiologic assessments to monitor the efficacy and the safety of the ongoing treatment.

Brief Summary
This is a clinical trial to evaluate the intravenous administration of indocyanine green (ICG) as a method of intra-thoracic lesion localization. The primary purpose is to determine if intravenous ICG allows us to identify intra-thoracic lesions.
Detailed Description
* This study is designed to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative localization of thoracic lesions following intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG), determine if intravenous ICG leads to the intra-operative detection of intra-thoracic lesions or metastatic lymph nodes not readily identifiable on conventional diagnostic imaging modalities, and determine if intravenous ICG improves surgical resection.
* At the time of surgery, the indocyanine dye will be injected intravenously. The investigators will use a dose of 0.5 mg/kg administered prior to VATS.
* The 'filtered' near-infrared light causes the indocyanine green dye to fluoresce so that the surgeon can identify the lesions most likely to contain tumor cells.The surgeon will also look at lymph nodes to see if metastatic disease can be found in this location using this technique. The lymph nodes are processed to look for metastasis.
#Intervention
- DRUG : ICG Intervention
- The intervention to be administered is the drug indocyanine green.
- Other Names :

Brief Summary
BACKGROUND and RATIONALE Colorectal cancer, with 49,000 new diagnoses expected in 2019 (27,000 in men and 22,000 in women) represents, in Italy, the third neoplasm in men (14%) and the second in women (12%). Increasing attention has been recently paid to the outcomes of surgical treatment, in terms of patient's anorectal function and quality of life (QoL). Currently, the majority of patients affected by rectal carcinoma undergo a sphincter-sparing surgery, that is, a low anterior rectal resection (LAR).
It is known that about 50% - 90% of patients undergoing LAR will develop at least some degree of bowel dysfunction: for this reason, the definition of 'anterior low rectal resection syndrome' (LARS) has been coined to describe this complex functional condition; the LARS usually includes incontinence to gas and/or liquid or solid stools, constipation, urgency, fragmentation and frequent bowel movements; a worsening of QoL has been also observed.
Due to the importance and high prevalence of this condition, but in the absence of a reliable tool for assessing its severity, the so-called 'LARS score' has been introduced. The score has already been validated in several languages, even if this important tool has not been validated in Italian language.
AIMS of the STUDY The primary aim of this study will be the validation in Italian language of the LARS score in a population of Italian patients with a previous history of rectal cancer and treated by anterior rectal resection surgery. Moreover, the convergent and discriminatory validity, and the reliability of the score will be also assessed.
STUDY DESIGN The study will be a prospective observational study on patients affected by rectal cancer and treated by anterior rectal resection surgery with total or partial excision of the mesorectum (TME, total mesorectal excision, or PME, partial mesorectal excision) in the period January 2000 - April 2018. Any Unit of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario 'Agostino Gemelli' - IRCCS of Rome that deals with rectal cancer surgery could join the study.
METHODS The validated English version of the LARS questionnaire will be translated into Italian. The translation will be performed by two independent professional translators.
Based on previous validation studies conducted in other Countries, it has been calculated that the sample size will be 200 patients.
Patients will be assessed by administration of the LARS score questionnaire, of a single question on QoL, and of the EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
Each Unit could choose to assess the patients in the preferred way (clinical follow-up visit, e-mail, ordinary mail); however, the method of administration of the questionnaire must be specified in the final communication of data to the coordinating Group. Each Unit joining the Study will be provided with an Excel data collection sheet which must then be completed.
A descriptive analysis of the data will be conducted, and the convergent validity, that is the concordance between the LARS score and the QoL, will be investigated. In addition, discriminatory validity, i.e. the ability of the LARS score to distinguish between subgroups of patients, which usually differ in the LARS score, will be assessed. Finally, the test-retest reliability of the LARS score will be examined, so all patients will receive a second LARS questionnaire 1-2 weeks after completing the first and the results of the two tests will be compared.
Detailed Description
1. BACKGROUND and RATIONALE Colorectal cancer, with 49,000 new diagnoses expected in 2019 (27,000 in men and 22,000 in women) represents, in Italy, the third neoplasm in men (14%) and the second in women (12%). Among colorectal tumors, the rectum represents the site most frequently involved (about 35%).
Thanks to an earlier diagnosis and to the greater effectiveness of an implemented multidisciplinary treatment, the locoregional control and the patients' overall survival significantly improved over the last decades.
Increasing attention has been recently paid to the outcomes of surgical treatment, in terms of patient's anorectal function and quality of life (QoL). Currently, the majority of patients affected by rectal carcinoma undergo a sphincter-sparing surgery, that is, a low anterior rectal resection (LAR), therefore avoiding a permanent colostomy.
It is known that about 50% - 90% of patients undergoing LAR will have at least some degree of bowel dysfunction: for this reason, the definition of 'anterior low rectal resection syndrome' (LARS) has been coined to describe this complex functional condition. The main symptoms included in this syndrome are: incontinence to gas and/or liquid or solid stools, constipation, urgency, fragmentation and frequent bowel movements. In addition, a worsening of QoL has been observed in patients with severe LARS symptoms.
Due to the importance and high prevalence of this condition, in order to identify a reliable tool for assessing its severity, the so-called 'LARS score' has been introduced. The score has already been validated in several languages, including English, Chinese, Lithuanian, Swedish, Spanish, German, Danish (as consolidated international validation), and finally Dutch.
However, this important tool has not been validated in Italian language.
2. AIMS The primary aim of this study will be the validation in Italian language of the LARS score in a population of Italian patients with a previous history of rectal cancer, and treated by anterior rectal resection surgery. Moreover, the study will give the possibility to investigate the convergent and discriminatory validity, and to re-test the reliability of the score.
3. STUDY DESIGN The study will be a prospective observational study on patients affected by rectal cancer, and treated by anterior rectal resection surgery with total or partial excision of the mesorectum (TME, total mesorectal excision, or PME, partial mesorectal excision) in the period January 2000 - April 2018. Any Surgical Unit of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario 'Agostino Gemelli' - IRCCS of Rome that deals with rectal cancer surgery could join the study. Each Unit will identify a Study Manager, and possibly a collaborator.
4. METHODS
The study will provide different phases:
* TRANSLATION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE The validated English version of the LARS questionnaire will be translated into Italian. The translation will be performed by two independent professional translators. Translators will discuss any discrepancies between their translations until an agreed version is reached. A third native English translator will translate the Italian version into English. Subsequently, the two English versions (the initial one and the new one) will be compared and the final version in Italian will be elaborated.
* CONVERGENT VALIDITY To study the 'convergent validity', the LARS score will be correlated with the single QoL question and with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire, in order to test how the LARS score correlates with the QoL.
* DIVERGENT VALIDITY To study discriminative validity, we will evaluate the ability of the LARS score to identify different patient subgroups, which generally differ in the LARS score. Similar to previous validation studies, the clinically relevant subgroups will be based on: preoperative radiotherapy, type of surgery (TME / PME), age (cut-off at 69 years).
* TEST- RETEST RELIABILITY Test-retest reliability is one of the key measures of all health measures. To examine the test-retest reliability of the LARS score, all patients will receive a second LARS questionnaire 1-2 weeks after completing the first one, and will be invited to reply to the questionnaire again.
Each Unit could choose to assess the patients in the preferred way (clinical follow-up visit, e-mail, ordinary mail); however, the method of administration of the questionnaire must be specified in the final communication of data to the coordinating Group.
Each Unit will be responsible for the truthfulness of the data collected and provided.
5. DATA COLLECTION
Each Unit joining the Study will be provided with an Excel data collection sheet which must then be completed. The collection of data and their transmission to the Study Coordinator Group must occur within 3 months from the beginning of the Study. For each patient we ask to provide:
* 2 LARS questionnaires, administered 1-2 weeks apart;
* 1 EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire;
* 1 single QoL question.
6. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS and DATA EVALUATION The quality control of the collected data and the statistical analysis of the results will be conducted by a specialist in Medical Statistics, who will be guaranteed co-authorship in the scientific publications derived from the study. No financial compensation will be provided for this activity.
Concerning the 'convergent validity', the correspondence between the QoL categories (no impact, minor or major impact of intestinal function on QoL) and the three LARS scoring categories will be assessed. The correspondence between these two measures will be considered perfect when: patients have not reported LARS and any impact on QoL; patients have reported minor LARS and a minor impact on QoL; in case of major LARS and major impact on QoL. Correspondence will be defined as moderate in case of a difference in one category, for example no LARS but a minor impact on QoL. In case of difference in two categories, the two measures will be considered not corresponding at all.
LARS score data will be presented as median (with interquartile range) and the differences will be tested by the Kruskal-Wallis test. The same test will be used to test the null hypothesis in the study of the association between the LARS score and the five functional scales and the global QoL scale of the EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Wilcoxon's rank test will be applied to investigate the 'discriminatory validity'.
The correspondence between the two tests to measure the reliability of the LARS score will be presented as proportions with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). A Bland-Altman diagram will be calculated with 95% agreement limits and intraclass correlation (ICC). An ICC lower than 0.50 will indicate poor reliability, an ICC between 0.50 and 0.75 will reflect moderate reliability, between 0.75-0.90 good reliability and an ICC greater than 0.90 will indicate excellent reliability.
7. PUBLICATION POLICY and AUTHORSHIP The results of the study will be the subject of a group publication. The co-authorship of the manager and a collaborator will be guaranteed to each Unit participating in the study. The first, second and last Author of the publication will be respectively the principal investigator and the two collaborators (junior and senior) of the promoter / coordinator Center.

Brief Summary
The investigators have identified underuse of secondary prevention medications at discharge of patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in China. The aim of this study is to develop series of quality improvement strategies focusing on secondary prevention medications for patients underwent CABG, and to evaluate their effectiveness and safety via a hospital-level cluster randomized clinical trial. The investigators established a network of 60 hospitals which have participated into Chinese Cardiovascular Surgery Registry and submitted 50 or more CABG surgeries already. The participating sites will be divided into intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group will undertake intervention of quality improvement strategies, while the control group will maintain the routine practice pattern. All hospitals will consecutively enroll and submit data of CABG during the enrollment period, estimated for 6 months. The prescribing rates of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blockers, statins and aspirins will be compared between 2 groups.

Brief Summary
This was an open-label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase II study to determine the activity of nab-paclitaxel plus lapatinib in the first and second-line setting in women with ErbB2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Sixty subjects were to be enrolled in the study. Subjects were to receive nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 intravenously once weekly for 3 weeks, followed by a rest week in a 4-week cycle) plus lapatinib (1000 mg once daily). Subjects were to receive treatment until disease progression or withdrawal from the study. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate overall tumor response rate of lapatinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel administered in women with ErbB2 overexpressing MBC who received no chemotherapeutic regimen in the metastatic setting. Secondary objectives included progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, time to response and time to progression and safety. Safety and efficacy assessments were to be performed at 8 and 12 week intervals, and at the end of treatment.

Brief Summary
This Phase Ib study will identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of AZD1775 monotherapy when administered orally once daily (QD) or two times per day (BID) on Days 1 to 5 followed by 9 days of rest in 14-day cycles, or QD on a 5/2 dosing schedule (5 days on, followed by 2 days rest) in 21-day cycles in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours. Alternative treatment schedules may be explored if preliminary data suggest these would be more appropriate.
The effect of food on single dose PK of AZD1775 will be assessed in 12 patients. In this sub-study, patients will receive a single oral dose of AZD1775 with 240 mL of water, once in the fasted state and once following a high-fat meal.
Detailed Description
This study will attempt to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of AZD1775 monotherapy when administered orally once daily (QD) or two times per day (BID) on Days 1 to 5 followed by 9 days of rest in 14-day cycles, or QD on a 5/2 dosing schedule (5 days on, followed by 2 days rest) in 21-day cycles in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours. Both the QD 5/9 and 5/2 dosing schedules will run in parallel. An evaluation will be made after the second QD cohort has been completed to determine whether to proceed with one or both dosing schedules.
The AZD1775 MTD will be determined through dose-escalation using a 3+3 cohort design. If less than one-third of evaluable patients in a given cohort (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT); escalation may proceed to the next higher dose level. If one of the first 3 patients enrolled in a given cohort experiences a DLT, 3 additional patents will be enrolled in that cohort. If a DLT is observed in one-third or more of patients, the dose at which this occurs will be considered not tolerated and the MTD will have been exceeded. The highest dose level(s) at which less than one-third of patients (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT will be declared the MTD. Up to 6 patients will be enrolled in each cohort. Dose escalation will continue until identification of the MTD or Sponsor termination of the study.
A maximum of 10 dose escalations are anticipated in the determination of MTD. Approximately 6 subjects may be added to replace non-evaluable patients. Therefore, a total of 66 patients are expected to be treated.
Dose-limiting toxicities will be evaluated during Cycles 1 and 2 of treatment. If appropriate the DLT observation period can be expanded by up to 2 weeks in case of treatment delay due to study drug-related adverse events. Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03. Patients must complete Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 safety evaluations which will conclude on Cycle 3 Day 1, and must receive at least 80% of the planned dose to be considered evaluable. Patients receiving less than 80% of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 dose (28 days) will be replaced unless they experienced a confirmed DLT.
The patient population used to determine the MTD will consist of patients who have met the minimum safety evaluation requirements of the study, and/or who have experienced a DLT in Cycle 1 or Cycle 2. Minimum safety requirements will be met if during Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of treatment the patient receives a minimum of 80% of treatment doses of AZD1775, completes the safety evaluations, and is observed for at least 28 days. Patients who do not meet these minimum safety evaluation and treatment requirements and whom do not experience a DLT will be replaced.
Patients will be allowed to continue treatment with AZD1775 until evidence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other discontinuation criterion has occurred.

Brief Summary
In patients with gastric or colorectal cancers, where a treatment with 5-Fluoruracil in combination with other chemotherapeutic remedies (FLO, FOLFOX, FOLFOX-Bev, FOLFIRI) is planned, it shall be investigated whether E. coli Nissle suspension has an effect on duration and intensity of chemotherapy induced diarrhea.
Detailed Description
Chemotherapy is used frequently for treating tumors. For many kinds of tumors, chemotherapy is an effective way of treatment. Besides the desired effects on neoplastic cells, the cytotoxic effects often lead to undesirable effects in other cells. Particularly the epithelial tissue of the gastrointestinal tract is affected, mucositis and diarrhea occur. By loss of water and electrolytes, diarrhea often make delay in chemotherapy necessary. Besides mucositis, a chemotherapy also causes changes in gut microbiota as animal models proof. It is well known, than probiotics shorten diarrhea. So far, the use of probiotics in chemotherapy patients was only investigated in one single study. Severity of diarrhea was reduced compared to placebo. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a well investigated probiotic. In cell culture, the supernatant of EcN reduced the noxious effect of 5-Fluoruracil concerning cell toxicity and disruption of barrier function.
Therefore, the aim of this study is whether in patients with gastric or colorectal cancers, where a treatment with 5-Fluoruracil in combination with other chemotherapeutic remedies (FLO, FOLFOX, FOLFOX-Bev, FOLFIRI) is planned, EcN-Suspension is capable to reduce duration and intensity of chemotherapy induced diarrhea.

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients who may undergo surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the antitumor and clinical benefit response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy comprising gemcitabine, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin in patients with potentially resectable locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
* Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the achieved steady-state plasma levels of gemcitabine and fluorouracil in these patients and correlate these plasma levels with clinical toxicity associated with this regimen.
* Determine the potential importance of polymorphic variations in genomic DNA of pertinent genes (whose protein products are targets of the antineoplastic drugs used in this study) on response to and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the gene expression profiles of primary and metastatic pancreatic tumors before and after treatment with this regimen.
OUTLINE:
* Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes and fluorouracil IV continuously over 24 hours on days 2 and 9, and leucovorin calcium orally on days 1 and 8 and IV on days 2 and 9. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
* Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: Beginning on day 42, patients undergo chemoradiotherapy comprising oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, and 77 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 42-78 with external beam radiotherapy.
* Surgery: Patients undergo surgical resection 42-56 days after completion of chemoradiotherapy.
* Adjuvant chemotherapy: After post-operative recovery, patients receive 2 additional courses of gemcitabine, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium. If surgical resection is not possible, patients with stable or responsive disease resume gemcitabine, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium indefinitely in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

- DRUG : gemcitabine hydrochloride
- 750 (females) or 900 (males) mg/m5 IV over 30 min (day 2)weeks 1 \& 2; Repeat one 3-week cycle starting day 22
- Other Names :
- Gemzar
- DRUG : leucovorin calcium
- 20 mg/m5 PO (day 1) and 20 mg/m5 IV (day 2) weeks 1 and 2; Repeat one 3-week cycle starting day 22
- Other Names :
- folic acid analog
- DRUG : oxaliplatin
- 48 mg/m5 IV over 2 hr weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5
- Other Names :
- chemotherapy
- PROCEDURE : adjuvant therapy
- Patients who have undergone surgical resection, after post-operative recovery, will receive two additional cycles of gemcitabine/5-FU/leucovorin. Patients will then be followed at 3 month intervals with a history and physical exam, CT scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis, and tumor markers.
If surgical resection is not possible, patients with stable or responsive disease will resume gemcitabine/5-FU/leucovorin and continue on it indefinitely until disease progression provided the patient tolerates it and wishes to remain on therapy.
- PROCEDURE : conventional surgery
- Restaging with repeat imaging studies will be performed four weeks after completion of the chemo-radiation. If no contraindication for surgical resection is identified, resection will be performed six to eight weeks after completing chemoradiation. At the time of surgical resection, an extensive examination of the abdomen will be performed to exclude the presence of metastatic disease. All operations will be performed with curative intent with resection of all gross tumor (ie R0 \[negative margins\] or R1 \[positive microscopic margins\]). Resection of adjacent involved organs or vascular structures will be performed as clinically indicated.
- PROCEDURE : neoadjuvant therapy
- Eligible patients will receive an initial two cycles of chemotherapy with gemcitabine 750 (females) or 900 (males) mg/m5 over 30 minutes followed by a 24-hour infusion of fluorouracil 2700 mg/m5 on days 2 and 9 of a 21-day cycle . Calcium leucovorin 20 mg/m5 will be given orally on days 1 and 8 and by IV push on days 2 and 9 prior to the 5-FU. A window of -2 up to +7 days will be allowed to start planned cycles of therapy provided all other criteria to restart the new cycle has been met. Patients will require a central venous catheter (Port, Hickman or Groshong catheter) for the administration of 5-FU.
- RADIATION : radiation therapy
- A re-staging CT scan, which will be obtained as part of the radiation simulation, will be used to assess any possible response to the initial two cycles of chemotherapy. Unless the patient has developed evidence of metastatic disease, chemoradiation will proceed. Patients who required no treatment delays will commence chemoradiation on day 42. If a one-week delay is needed before cycle 2 of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy can be delivered, the patient will begin chemoradiation on day 49 provided treatment-related toxicity has resolved. If cycle 2 could not be given (2 or more week delay for resolution of treatment-related toxicity), then chemoradiation will begin once toxicity has resolved (may be earlier than day 42). | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
Previous studies have found that the suicide risk of cancer patients is influenced by socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics, and environmental factors. But prediction model with multiple predictors for suicide risk in cancer patients is limited.
The aim of this study is to assess the association of socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics and meteorological factors with cancer patients' suicide, based on retrospective cohorts, and to establish a suicide risk prediction model with multiple predictors for cancer patients.
Detailed Description
Cancer is a serious public health concern, with almost 10 million people dying from cancer in 2020. Previous studies have reported that cancer patients are more likely to die by suicide than the general public, especially in the six months to one year following cancer diagnosis. Since suicide is a result of the interaction of various factors such as socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics, and environmental factors, it is necessary to construct a multivariate prediction model to predict the suicide risk in cancer patients.
A retrospective cohort of cancer patients based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database was used to assess the association of socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics and meteorological factors with cancer patients' suicide, and to establish prediction model with multiple predictors for cancer patients. Another retrospective cohort conducted from Shandong Multi-Center Healthcare Big Data Platform (SMCHBDP) was used to verify the predictive ability and generalization ability of the prediction model.

Brief Summary
Drop out from upper secondary school represents a risk for the future health and wellbeing of young people. Strengthening of psychosocial aspects of the learning environment may be an effective strategy to promote completion of upper secondary school. The COMPLETE study is a school based cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating two school-based interventions, namely the Dream School Program (DSP) and the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) among 1st grade upper secondary school students in four counties in Norway. The interventions aim to improve psychosocial learning environments and subsequently school achievements and decrease drop-out and absence.
Specifically, the COMPLETE study will
1. Evaluate whether the DSP alone
1. increases completion
2. increases presence
3. improves school achievements
4. improves mental health and wellbeing
2. Evaluate whether the DSP and the MHST combined
1. increase completion
2. increase presence
3. improve school achievements
4. improve mental health and wellbeing
The COMPLETE study will also evaluate the effect of the DSP and MHST combined and the DSP alone against secondary outcomes of school satisfaction and loneliness.
3. Evaluate through a process evaluation whether the interventions were implemented in line with guidelines for each of the interventions, and whether the degree of program fidelity has influenced the effect of the interventions on the primary and secondary outcomes.
#Intervention
- OTHER : Dream School Program
- The Dream School program is a whole school program, involving staff and students, with the aim of creating learning environments where students are confident and experience a sense of belonging, and where mental health is promoted.

Brief Summary
Bile duct cancer and pancreatic cancer are cancers that cannot be surgically removed. As the cancer grows, it blocks the drainage of the bile ducts that carry digestive juices from the gallbladder and pancreas to the small intestine. ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is often prescribed during which a tube with a tiny camera attached is inserted through the subject's mouth and advanced to a place in the small intestine where the bile duct empties. Through this scope the doctor enlarges the ducts with tiny balloons and places plastic or metal stents (straws) that help keep the bile ducts open so they can drain properly. However, due to the cancer, the stents are blocked eventually.
The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) probes in improving the management of bile duct cancer or pancreatic cancer by ablating the tissue in the bile duct(s) before the stent(s) are implanted. By using radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the tissue in the duct(s) prior to stent(s) insertion, the surrounding tissue becomes coagulated and this may delay tumor growth and the time before the stent lumen becomes blocked. Thereby, allowing increased periods between the need for intervention and further stent implantation(s). The registry will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RFA procedures conducted for pancreatico-biliary disorders

Background
Bile duct cancer and pancreatic cancer are cancers that cannot be surgically removed. As the cancer grows, it blocks the drainage of the bile ducts that carry digestive juices from the gallbladder and pancreas to the small intestine. ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is often prescribed during which a tube with a tiny camera attached is inserted through the subject's mouth and advanced to a place in the small intestine where the bile duct empties. Through this scope the doctor enlarges the ducts with tiny balloons and places plastic or metal stents (straws) that help keep the bile ducts open so they can drain properly. However, due to the cancer, the stents are blocked eventually.
The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) probes in improving the management of bile duct cancer or pancreatic cancer by ablating the tissue in the bile duct(s) before the stent(s) are implanted. By using radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the tissue in the duct(s) prior to stent(s) insertion, the surrounding tissue becomes coagulated and this may delay tumor growth and the time before the stent lumen becomes blocked. Thereby, allowing increased periods between the need for intervention and further stent implantation(s). The registry will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RFA procedures conducted for pancreatico-biliary disorders
Objectives:
The safety and efficacy of various radio frequency ablation probes have been assessed in a series of studies. This multi-center registry has been initiated since June 2011 and is ongoing until June 2017:
* To document the immediate and post procedure clinical performance of radio frequency ablation in a 'real world' patient population requiring stent implantation for pancreatico-biliary disorders.
* To assess the immediate and 6 months post procedure adverse event rate in patients.
* To assess the impact of RFA on the life expectancy of patients suffering from pancreatico-biliary malignancies.
Study Design at Coordinating Center - Weill Cornell Medical College Primary site (WCMC):
This study entails review of data from a database protocol \[IRB # 1104011642 : collected for non-research related purposes\]. The purpose of this protocol is to establish a database that captures all Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Ultrasound and Interventional endoscopy cases. Its objective is to assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of these routine procedures to permit identification of technical details about the procedures or other factors, which might be associated with outcome or results. Assessment of these details would help us with problem identification and recommendations to improve health outcomes and quality of life in these patients
The registry will review and document:
* All patients who have had Interventional Endoscopy procedures done which involved radio frequency ablations for pancreatico-biliary disorders since June 2011 and extending forward through June 2017.
* Data will be reviewed and collected from database protocol IRB # 1104011642.
* No subject intervention is involved in this study. Subject contact is not needed for database review.
Study Design at Secondary sites:
The registry will review and document:
* All patients who have had Interventional Endoscopy procedures done which involved radio frequency ablations for pancreatico-biliary disorders.
* No subject intervention is involved in this study. Subject contact is not needed for retrospective review.
* These sites would have IRB approved protocols to collect and send radio frequency ablation procedure data to the primary site (WCMC). Additionally, the secondary study sites would mention WCMC as an entity that could receive PHI in their prospective protocols and consent/HIPAA forms.
* All secondary study sites' IRB approvals will be sent to the primary/coordinating study center at WCMC. The primary center will then forward these IRB approvals to WCMC IRB as soon as they are received from the secondary study sites.
* Relevant IRB documentation will be maintained at both primary and secondary sites.
Registry Hosting:
The coordinating center and primary site (WCMC) will host the registry on the local servers.
A secure Data management or Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system will be used for data entry, compilation and querying.

Brief Summary
The present study will investigative the physiological effects of the cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on the adaptive changes to exercise in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators hypothesize that blockage of IL-6 receptors will decrease the cardiac and metabolic adaptations to exercise training compared to the inhibition of TNF. 80 patients will be included in a 12-week investigator blinded randomised exercise training intervention study.
Detailed Description
80 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are being treated with either interleukin-6 receptor blockers (IL-6Rb) or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) for a minimum of four months prior to enrollment will be recruited and undergo baseline testing, including examination, biochemistry, ECG, DXA, OGTT, pulmonary function, VO2max, echocardiography, cardiac MRI.
After baseline testing, 40 patients in IL-6 receptor blocker treatment and 40 patients in TNF inhibitor treatment.will be randomly allocated into one group receiving standard of care (control group) or a group performing supervised high-intensity interval training three times a week over a period of 12 weeks. The randomization procedure involves a computer-generated block randomization schedule in a ratio of 1:1 stratified by sex by an independent person. Following the 12-week intervention period, all groups will complete a series of follow-up tests (as baseline testing).

Brief Summary
This is an evaluative study of three National Cancer Institute (NCI) smoking cessation resources: specifically, the smokefree.gov and women smokefree.gov websites, and the CIS counseling phone calls. The following are the identified critical questions: (1). How effective is each of the tobacco interventions (websites \[smokefree.gov \& women smokefree.gov\], NCI's Cessation Quitline counseling services operated by the Cancer Information Service (CIS) (2). How do they compare with alternative intervention strategies? (3). Which types of interventions appear to work best together (due to additive or interactive effects)? (4). How do these interventions work? (5). How much are these interventions used, and what are their relative use rates? (6). Are there important differences in effectiveness or use rates as a function of gender, SES, or other important person factors? We believe that the research study will address all of these questions, as well as some less central ones.

Are there important differences in effectiveness or use rates as a function of gender, SES, or other important person factors? We believe that the research study will address all of these questions, as well as some less central ones.
The primary goal of this research is to obtain experimental data on the effectiveness of the major eHealth and communication smoking cessation interventions (smokefree.gov, women smokefree.gov, and NCI's Quitline counseling services). The primary bases for comparison would be quit attempts and cessation success, and each intervention would be compared with a control condition not receiving the intervention. In addition to the targeted interventions, participants may also be assigned to several different comparison interventions: i.e., email prompts, mailings/brochures, and OTC nicotine medication. The resulting data would allow us to determine effect sizes for each type of intervention relative to a control condition, which would allow us to determine the relative effectiveness of each intervention: i.e., how well the interventions stack-up against one another in terms of effect sizes.
Secondary goals of this research are to:
1. . Determine how much the participants use the interventions;
2. . Determine the mechanisms of benefit (perform meditational analyses);
3. . Compare benefits for important smoker populations;
4. . Determine whether any of the interventions produce subtractive or synergistic effects; and
5. . Obtain basic health economic estimates such as cost/quitter.
The project will also include a substudy directed toward pregnant women and women who are interested in participating but are unwilling to agree to utilize approved contraceptive methods for the duration of the study. This substudy will utilize all of the treatment conditions except the medication condition, since medication is not recommended for women who are pregnant in the US.

Inclusion Criteria:
(1). Interest in quitting smoking within the next 30 days, but not already actively engaged in quitting (e.g., subject should not be currently participating in other cessation counseling or taking cessation medication treatment for the purpose of a quit attempt); (2). The person has a phone and has home internet access; (3). The person has an email address that can be used to send assessments, and deliver email prompts; (4). The person expresses willingness to provide assessment information and have his/her computer use of the assigned website tracked; (5). There are contraindications to over the counter nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) use (e.g., pregnancy); (6). The person smokes >= 5 cpd; (7). The person is >= 18 years;(8). The person accesses the internet with no more than 3 computers/devices (including devices such as iPads and smartphones); and (9). No other members of the person's household are participating in the NCI website evaluation. (The age restriction is due to the possible assignment to medication, which is not recommended for adolescents.) Subjects will not have to express an interest in using NRT. They may be sent NRT depending upon experimental assignment, but a commitment to use medication is not a requirement of participation. Also, pregnant smokers, or those who believe they may become pregnant, can participate, but they will be randomly assigned to only the non-medication treatments and participate only in the substudy. [They will not be included in the regular data analyses, and power will be too small to permit meaningful inferential tests. However, effect sizes in this small group of smokers will be determined for comparison with the effect sizes obtained in the main study.] Due to limitations in the volume of new calls that can be handled in the phone counseling component, recruitment will not exceed 300 per month. When monthly recruitment goal has been met, the recruitment invitation will be turned off until the following month. At the point where it is necessary to achieve the desired (50/50) gender balance, the invitation to participate in the study will be restricted by sex until full enrollment is achieved.
Exclusion Criteria:
(1). If the person has no interest in quitting smoking within the next 30 days or if the person is actively engaged in quitting (e.g., subject is currently participating in other cessation counseling or taking cessation medication treatment for the purpose of a quit attempt); (2). Person does not have a phone or home internet access; (3). The person does not have an email address that can be used to send assessments, and deliver email prompts; (4). The person is not willing to provide assessment information and have his/her computer use of the assigned website tracked; (5). There are contraindications to over the counter nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) use (e.g., pregnancy); (6). The person smokes < 5 cpd; (7). The person is <18 years;(8). The person accesses the internet with more than 4 computers (including devices such as iPads and smartphones); and (9). One or more members of the person's household are already participating in the NCI website evaluation. (The age restriction is due to the possible assignment to medication, which is not recommended for adolescents.)

Brief Summary
The current study aimed to develop and assess an easy-to-use, highly accessible mobile and web-based application intervention to reduce sedentary behavior and increase physical activity in the hope of reducing the side effects of treatment and improving quality of life for the 13,000 or more prostate cancer survivors who are prescribed ADT each year in Canada. The study was conducted in two phases, where Phase one was focused on finding out about the attitudes and perceptions of sedentary behavior and the use of mobile applications among prostate cancer survivors using semi-structured interviews. Together with professional experts and a group of men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer, we developed RiseForTx - an application that is used on a smartphone or tablet to reduce time spent in, and to change patterns of, sedentary behaviour each day (Phase two). Part of the intervention was also focused on increasing daily steps to improve physical activity. We tested the intervention to examine (i) how the application works, (ii) if prostate cancer survivors like it and use it; and (iii) if sedentary behaviour and physical activity can reduce the impact of the side effects for treatment and improve quality of life among men on ADT.
Detailed Description
In the first 10 days following recruitment, participants met with the research coordinator and were provided with an accelerometer (GT3X) and completed self-report baseline measures. Provided along with the RiseTx application is the Jawbone, which is a wrist-worn device that can assess activity patterns throughout the day and provide sensory alerts to stand after prolonged sitting (i.e., ≥30 minutes of sedentary time). The intervention consisted of five phases following initial data collection, including a baseline phase (weeks 1-2) where participants self-monitored their typical leisure time PA (i.e., step counts) and were asked to 'sync' their Jawbone with the RiseTx application to view their daily progress and steps. This daily self-monitoring process continued over the remaining intervention period. Based on a previously tested ramped step count approach that focuses on increasing walking by an extra 1000 daily steps over a set period, participants attempted to increase daily steps by 1000 over the average of their baseline week. Phases I-III involved progressive release of self-regulatory strategies (e.g., action planning) on the application and targeted changes in both sitting time (and breaks in sitting time) and step counts. Phase I (weeks 3-4) focused on increasing low intensity, incidental movement, through the use of an alerting device, and the Jawbone (reminder to break SED). At this time, an additional +1000 daily step increment was set above baseline. Phase II (weeks 5-6) targeted shorter planned PA (of up to 10 mins) by having participants form action plans on the application for both reducing SED and increasing PA. An additional +1000 daily step increment was set above Phase I. Phase III (weeks 7-8) focused on promoting longer, moderate intensity PA (\>10 min), where participants used the application to form coping plans for barriers to reducing sitting time or engaging in PA. An additional +1000 daily step increment was set above Phase II step target. A 4-week consolidation phase (Phase IV and V; weeks 9-12) followed, where participants received weekly reminders that encouraged them to continue to use the RiseTx application to practice combining the different self-regulatory strategies learned in Phases I-III. Following the intervention, there was a 12-week maintenance period (weeks 13-24) where participants no longer received weekly self-regulatory practice reminders, yet still had access to the application.
#Intervention
- OTHER : RiseTx
- Participants were given access to the RiseTx application, as well as given a Jawbone, a wrist-worn device that can assess activity patterns throughout the day and provide sensory alerts to stand after prolonged sitting (i.e., ≥30 minutes of sedentary time). The intervention consisted of five phases following initial data collection that comprised of self-regulatory strategies to reduce sitting time and self-monitoring of step counts. | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
This study will look at the feasibility of using a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging called Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) to detect your implanted radioactive seeds. Researchers hope that using SWI will eliminate the need to use CT imaging to detect your implanted radioactive seeds.
This study will also see if the MRI seed detection is as effective as current standard practice of seed detection (routine MRI and CT imaging). This technique would be beneficial for brachytherapy without the need to fuse the MRI and CT images, as is done currently.

Brief Summary
Lentigo malignant (LM) is an intraepidermal melanocytic proliferation occurring on photoexposed skin. In our project, this term applies both to Dubreuilh's melanosis and to Dubreuilh's intraepidermal melanoma. It consequently excludes invasive melanoma. Although surgery is the treatment of choice, it remains without consensus on the margins (5 mm or 10 mm) excision for a localized tumor on the face.
Several studies have shown that imiquimod, activating local immunity by interferon production, induced LM or MLM regression and could also decrease the frequency of relapses.
The principal aim of our project is to study the effect of imiquimod versus placebo in pre-operative neoadjuvant treatment aimed at reducing both surgical margins, as from the first surgical procedure, and the frequency of short and medium term recurrence of LM. Furthermore, the improvement in patient quality of life could also be significant.
Detailed Description
The primary endpoint of the study is to demonstrate that neoadjuvant treatment of LM by imiquimod prior to surgery can reduce the frequency of intralesional excisions as from the first surgical procedure, with a healthy tissue margin of 5mm. Furthermore, the improvement in patient quality of life could also be significant.
The number of patients to be included in the study is 268.
For each patient, the study will involve several stages (S), as follows:
S0 (Selection): information and obtaining of the patient's informed consent. Performance of biopsy for histological confirmation of LM
S1 (S0 + \~ 2 weeks): patient inclusion following anatomopathological confirmation of LM. Patient randomisation in one or other study arm: imiquimod versus placebo and initiation of topical treatment.
S2 (S1 + 4 weeks): Discontinuation of imiquimod/placebo application. Scheduling of the surgical procedure 4 weeks later.
S3 (S2 + 4 weeks): Surgery.
S4: After the last surgical procedure, simple clinical follow up will be ensured every 6 months for a period of 3 years, in order to study the recurrence rate.
#Intervention
- DRUG : Imiquimod cream + surgery
- Imiquimod (5 times per week) applied to and extending 1cm beyond the lesion for a period of 4 weeks (i.e. a total of 20 applications), followed by surgery performed four weeks after the last application of the topical treatment. If excision is intralesional, re-excision at 5mm will be performed within a few days (equivalent to 2-stage surgery).
- DRUG : Placebo + surgery
- Placebo (5 times per week) applied to and extending 1cm beyond the lesion for a period of 4 weeks, followed by surgery performed four weeks after the last application of the topical treatment.

Brief Summary
The PACT Study (Physical Activity after Cancer Treatment) is a unique study within the field of cancer rehabilitation in Denmark. It differs from other studies mainly due to the intervention itself. A combination of physiological, health educational and therapeutic elements will be tested. These components are incorporated into a one-year training program for mixed groups (i.e. men + women, with varying cancer diagnoses) to encourage them to enhance their well.-being and quality of life. The overall aim of this approach is to place increased focus on the treated cancer patient's introduction to and exploitation of both physiological and psychosocial yields through physical exercise. Whether or not the study results bear a positive effect, they are expected to support new knowledge in rehabilitation for cancer survivors.
Detailed Description
The PACT ('Physical Activity after Cancer Treatment') Study is a multidisciplinary collaborative study carried out by the University Hospitals Centre for Nursing and Care Research (UCSF) and the Finsen Center (Oncology and Hematology Clinics) of the Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet), Copenhagen, Denmark. The project draws in cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy and who are now disease-free or at a stable phase in their illness and have good prognoses.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a 12-month rehabilitation program comprising supervised and structured physical exercise training (body conditioning; strength-building; relaxation; massage), patient education and coaching combined with a home-based physical exercise group component and will include a control group. Groups of 12-15 patients will be formed (mixed genders; different oncological and hematological diagnoses) who will train together once weekly during the intervention period. Participation in a training program with peers is seen as a positive motivational factor that stimulates and challenges the patient through physical activity, to use his/her own resources to establish sustainable coping strategies.

Brief Summary
Carcinoma is the leading cause of worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan. Vitamin B-6 and coenzyme Q10 has been recognized as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients in recent clinical studies. The purposes of this study are going to investigate the relation of vitamin B-6 and coenzyme Q10 with the indicators of oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes activities and the inflammatory markers in patients with stage 1 and stage 2 HCC. The study is designed as an intervention study. The investigators will recruit HCC patients with stage 1 and stage 2 (n = 150) who are identified by liver biopsy. HCC subjects are randomly assign to placebo, vitamin B-6 (50 mg/d), coenzyme Q10 (300 mg/d), and vitamin B-6 plus coenzyme Q10 supplements groups. Intervention is going to administration for three months. The concentrations of vitamin B-6, coenzyme Q10, oxidative stress indicators, antioxidant enzymes activities, antioxidant vitamins (vitamin A and E), and inflammatory markers are going to be analyzed. The results would provide more information nutrients for clinical physicians and dietitians for considering suggesting patients with HCC using vitamin B-6 or coenzyme Q10 supplementation to improve their clinical outcomes.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a home exercise program to a clinic physical therapy program will improve the fatigue experienced by patients being treated with concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy for high grade gliomas.
Detailed Description
Cancer-related fatigue is a common and disabling symptom in patients undergoing outpatient therapies to treat their cancers. Despite a consistent increase in both awareness and research, cancer-related fatigue remains poorly understood and poorly treated by the worldwide medical community.
The physical and emotional impact of cancer-related fatigue on Activities of Daily Living and Independent Activities of Daily Living can be profound. Simple tasks such as preparing meals and performing household chores become laborious. Walking up and down the aisles of grocery stores may send a patient directly to bed for the rest of the day upon returning home. In addition, if cancer-related fatigue contributes to prolonged bed rest, the secondary development of other medical problems can further impact quality of life and possibly length of life. Furthermore, the economic impact of cancer-related fatigue includes patients taking more days off work and reducing the number of hours they are able to work. Lastly, cancer-related fatigue often impacts the psychosocial well-being and family dynamics of patients, caregivers and their families.
Exercise is the strongest non-pharmacological intervention for management of cancer-related fatigue. Certain exercises have specifically demonstrated reduction in fatigue. An exercise program that incorporates strengthening and aerobic conditioning can decrease fatigue scores. Improvements in patient-reported cancer-related fatigue through the use of exercise has been demonstrated in various diseases, such as anemia, and several cancer types, most notably breast cancer. Furthermore, home exercise programs have shown meaningful improvements in patient reported fatigue.
This study will determine the effect that the addition of a 6-week Physical Therapist-directed home exercise program has on the pattern, severity, and quality of life of patient reported fatigue.

Brief Summary
This clinical trial will evaluate the adherence, usefulness, satisfaction and effect size for the Sleep Coach app as an intervention for insomnia in 30 adult post-treatment cancer survivors.
Detailed Description
Difficulty sleeping, falling and/or staying asleep, is common in people after they have been diagnosed and treated for cancer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is considered to be the preferred treatment but until now, there has been limited access for most people to CBT-I because it has required an in-person visit with a trained therapist. This research study is to test a mobile CBT-I app called MI Sleep Coach to deliver CBT-I. The goal of this study is to understand if people are willing to use the app, if they find it useful in helping with sleep difficulty and if they are satisfied with using it. The investigators hope to use information from this small feasibility study to study the effectiveness of the app in a larger group of cancer survivors and ultimately to help cancer survivors with sleep difficulties to sleep better.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Sleep Coach App
- Participants will be encouraged to interact with the mobile app daily for as much time as they wish, or for as little as 5 - 10 minutes, over a 7-week period.

Brief Summary
Primary objective
1) To assess whether oncologic and hematologic patients develop a protective immunological response after pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine
Secondary objectives
1. To compare the levels of antibody response against A (H1N1) influenza virus between oncologic and hematologic patients relative to a cohort of healthy volunteers
2. To assess the incidence of A (H1N1) infection in vaccinated oncologic and hematologic patients in comparison with a cohort of vaccinated healthy volunteers. To assess the clinical symptoms attributable to influenza infection in vaccinated oncologic and hematological patients and healthy volunteers.
3. To compare the levels of antibody response against A (H1N1) influenza virus between the following subgroups: patients with ongoing chemotherapy; patients who have completed the chemotherapy treatment; patients treated with autologous or allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplant (PBSCT)
Study procedures: Onco-hematological patients will perform a blood sample collection before the vaccination, on day +21 after vaccination , on day +50 and on day +90. At the end of the collection, the investigators will perform immunological test to evaluate the antibody titer and the cellular response. The titer of antibodies against the vaccine strain will be measured in all samples by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assays with the use of turkey erythrocytes and according to EMEA guidelines. Response criteria will be the achievement of a protective title of HI test \> 1:40. In addition, the investigators will evaluate: geometric mean titers and a fourfold titer increase compared with prevaccination titers. Cellular-mediated response will be analysed by flow-cytometry. A control cohort of healthy volunteers who received A(H1N1) vaccine will perform the same blood sample collection.
Evaluation of clinical response: Oncologic and hematologic patients will be followed as outpatients or inpatients according to routine controls for their disease. In case that symptoms of the upper airways or influenza-like symptoms develop, the symptoms will be recorded in the clinical database, nasal and pharyngeal swaps will be performed according to the doctor who is taking care of the patient. In order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the vaccination, the swaps will be tested for A (H1N1) influenza virus infection. No further studies will be performed after 3 months from the vaccination.

To compare the levels of antibody response against A (H1N1) influenza virus between the following subgroups: patients with ongoing chemotherapy; patients who have completed the chemotherapy treatment; patients treated with autologous or allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplant (PBSCT) Study population and design
The study population consists consecutive patients with oncologic or hematologic diseases who are planned to receive A (H1N1) influenza vaccine
Study procedures The patients will perform a blood sample collection (serum vial) on day 0 (range: 0- 2 days before vaccination) before the vaccination, a blood sample collection (serum vial) on day +21 (range: +/- 5 days) after vaccination , a blood sample collection (serum vial) on day +50 (range: +/- 5 days) and on day +90 range: +/- 5 days) after vaccination. The samples will be frozen in 500 mcl aliquots at -20°C. At the end of the collection we will perform immunological test to evaluate the antibody titer and the cellular response. The serum samples will be stored at the laboratory of Virology of the University of Milan. The titer of antibodies against the vaccine strain will be measured in all samples by means of hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assays with the use of turkey erythrocytes and according to EMEA guidelines. Response criteria will be the achievement of a protective title of HI test \> 1:40. In addition we will evaluate: geometric mean titers and a fourfold titer increase compared with prevaccination titers. Cellular-mediated response will be analysed by incubating CD3+ patients' cells with influenza A Antigens and evaluation of: 1) cellular expansion by flow-cytometry analysis of dilution of carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE); 2) IFN-gamma production by ELISPOT.
A control cohort of healthy volunteers who received A(H1N1) vaccine will perform the same blood sample collection in order to compare the immunological response between oncologic and hematologic patients relative to healthy cohort.
Evaluation of clinical response:
Oncologic and hematologic patients will be followed as outpatients or inpatients according to routine controls for their disease. In case that symptoms of the upper airways or influenza-like symptoms develop, the symptoms will be recorded in the clinical database, nasal and pharyngeal swaps will be performed according to the doctor who is taking care of the patient. In order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the vaccination, the swaps will be tested for A (H1N1) influenza virus infection.
No further studies will be performed after 3 months from the vaccination.
Sample size The trial will accrue 25 patients for each subpopulation to be analyzed. This sample size has a 90% power to evaluate an increase of the probability to have a biological response from a theoretical value of 20% (low efficacy of the vaccine) to a value of 50% (target of effectiveness) at the 5% significance (student t test, one tail). The subpopulations are as follows: patients with ongoing chemotherapy; patients who have completed the chemotherapy treatment; patients treated with autologous or allogeneic transplant of hematopoietic stem cell.
We will accrue a 'calibration' group comprising at least 100 healthy volunteers. This group will comprise people working at the National Cancer Institute in Milan who have signed an informed consent to participate to the study. This size of the sample allows a precision on the evaluation of the probability of obtaining a biological response (half of the confidence interval) that is not lower than 10%
Study duration The estimated duration of enrolment is of 6 months. The enrolment of the hematologic and oncologic patients and of the cohort of healthy volunteers will be performed in 3 months and the study will be closed on day +90 with a blood sample collection.

Brief Summary
This phase III trial is studying how well radiation therapy, amifostine, and chemotherapy work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with amifostine and chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the response rate, overall survival, and event-free survival of children with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are treated with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and amifostine.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Characterize the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children.
II. Investigate the predictive value of the detection of EBV DNA in the peripheral blood of children with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
III. Determine the incidence of NUT rearrangements in childhood nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
IV. Determine the radioprotective effect of amifostine when given daily prior to radiation therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to stage of disease (I or IIA \[stratum I\] vs IIB-IV \[stratum II\]).
STRATUM I: Patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Patients also receive amifostine subcutaneously on the same days they undergo radiotherapy.
STRATUM II:
INDUCTION THERAPY (weeks 1-9): Patients receive cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-4. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with responding or stable disease proceed to consolidation therapy.
CONSOLIDATION THERAPY (weeks 10-18): Patients undergo radiotherapy and receive amifostine as in stratum I. Patients also receive cisplatin IV over 6 hours on days 1 and 22 (2 courses).
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 10 years.

Brief Summary
Patients will receive a standard 5 mCi dosimetric dose of fission-derived Iodine I 131 Tositumomab. Pharmacokinetic data for the primary endpoint analysis will be derived from testing done on blood samples drawn at 12 timepoints over the first 7 days following administration of the dosimetric dose. Whole body gamma camera images will be obtained on six days following the dosimetric dose. Organ and tumor dosimetry data will be generated from gamma camera counts of specific organs and tumor. All scans will be examined by an independent review panel to evaluate biodistribution of the radionuclide.
Using the dosimetric data from three of the six imaging time points and the patient's weight, a patient-specific activity (mCi) of Iodine-131 will be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiation (75 cGy). Patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) immediately followed by an infusion of the patient specific dose of tellurium-derived Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (35 mg) to deliver a total body dose (TBD) of 75 cGy. Patients will be followed closely obtaining safety information during the post-treatment period, and for response and safety at 3,6,and 12 months during the first year, annually thereafter up to five years, and annually for additional safety and outcomes information up to 10 years.

Brief Summary
Patient-assisted compression (PAC) allows the patient to participate in controlling the amount of compression force during mammography and is a personalized approach that has demonstrated successful reduction in discomfort experienced during mammography. General Electric Healthcare's Senographe Pristina, an innovative mammography platform that provides both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities, offers both standard and patient-assisted compression modes. This study will evaluate image quality and clinical workflow as it relates to use of PAC with the Senographe Pristina 3D.
Detailed Description
The study population will consist of adult asymptomatic women presenting for screening 2D mammography. One breast of each subject will be identified as the 'breast of interest,' which will undergo study-specific 3D imaging consisting of two-view (craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique) PA compression and image acquisition, followed by two-view technologist-controlled (TC) compression and image acquisition. The breast of interest will be randomly assigned to either the first breast imaged during the exam or the second breast imaged. TC compression and imaging, and procedures performed on the subject's other breast will be conducted per standard of care.
Following image acquisition, 3D image quality evaluation will be conducted by Mammography Quality Standards Act-qualified readers. Prior to the reading session, images will be de-identified and the following information will be removed from the DICOM header to blind readers to the compression mode used during acquisition: time stamp, compression force, and breast thickness. The image sets will also be randomized for presentation during the image attribute reviews. Two (2) readers will evaluate each PAC and TC compression image set collected from each subject's breast of interest and assess the acceptability of image attributes, as defined in the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full-Field Digital Mammography System (2012). A third reader will provide adjudication, if there is disagreement for a given image set's overall clinical image quality.
Workflow data, including the incidence of technologist intervention during acquisition and need for repeat image acquisition, will also be collected.
The proportion of PAC image sets that are of equal or higher acceptability than TC image sets will be calculated. A 95% confidence interval will be calculated using asymptotic method with continuity correction. The proportion of image sets indicated for repeated image acquisition when using PA mode or TC mode will be summarized. Other endpoint data will be summarized using descriptive statistics. No statistical hypothesis is being tested in this study.
#Intervention
- DEVICE : Patient-Assisted Compression (PAC)
- The technologist will properly position the breast and apply minimum compression. The subject will be instructed to apply compression as the technologist ensures the breast tissue is in appropriate position and tautness. The technologist will then guide the subject to achieve appropriate compression level, sufficient but not excessive, and the image will be acquired. This will be done for both standard views Craniocaudal (CC) \& Mediolateral Oblique (MLO).
- DEVICE : Technologist-Controlled (TC) Compression
- TC compression will be conducted per standard of care practices at the site. | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
The investigational product (IP) HL-085 is an adenosine triphosphate-noncompetitive mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor with a strong selective anti-tumor activity, with a much lower dose than selumetinib. It has been shown strong anti-tumor activities in preclinical studies to treat solid tumors, e.g., melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer and other malignancies with RAF and RAS mutations.
Kechow has completed phase I dose escalation study to test HL-085 in patients with advanced NRAS mutated melanoma in China. The tested doses were 0.5 mg, 1mg, 2mg, 3mg, 4mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg, 15mg and 18mg BID oral administration and there was no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) identified. All patients tolerated the study drug reasonably well.
This study is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and preliminary antitumor activities of HL-085 in US patients with advanced solid tumors. The objective of the dose escalation is to evaluate safety and tolerability of selected TID and BID dose regimens in US patient population with advanced solid tumor and establish the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D).
The starting dose for this trial is 12 mg daily oral administration. Three selected daily doses - 12 mg (4mg TID, 6mg BID), 18 mg (6mg TID, 9 mg BID), and 24 mg (8 mg TID, 12 mg BID) will be tested in this study to assess safety and tolerability of HL-085 at the 3 selected dose levels in US patient population with advanced solid tumors.

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is in cancer of unknown primary (CUP) patients, to compare the cost-effectiveness of miRview™ mets test with conventional work-up in identifying the primary tumor site.
Detailed Description
Thousands of patients are diagnosed each year with metastatic cancer; however, about 3-5% of them are diagnosed with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). In order to identify the optimal treatment plan for individual patients with CUP, the primary tumor site must be identified. Patients undergo a wide range of costly, time-consuming, and inefficient tests to identify the primary site of origin, often to no avail.
In this era of targeted therapies, the accurate diagnosis of the primary tumor can be crucial. miRview™ mets is a new molecular diagnostic tool that identifies the tissue-of-origin of metastatic tumors, with 90% sensitivity.
| #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients who present with histologically-confirmed metastatic cancer in whom an initial work-up which consists of detailed medical history, physical examination, basic laboratory studies, histopathological review of biopsy material, and CT scan of the chest abdomen and pelvis fail to identify the primary site.

Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
1. To evaluate side effects and maximum tolerated dose of azacitidine and valproic acid in patients with advanced cancer.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To perform a preliminary assessment of the histone acetylation and DNA methylation effects of this combination on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
2. To assess the clinical anti-tumor activity (objective response including complete and partial responses) of this combination in patients with advanced cancer, in a descriptive fashion.
Detailed Description
Azacitidine is a new chemotherapy drug that is designed to destroy cancer cells at high doses. At low doses, it is designed to destroy some cancer cells as well as cause changes that may make cancer cells less harmful. Valproic acid is a drug that is used in every day practice in the treatment of seizures, migraine headache, and mood disturbance in bipolar disorders.
Before you can start receiving the study drug, you will have what are called 'screening tests.' These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in the study. You will have a complete physical exam, including routine blood tests (about 4 teaspoons). You may have to get either a CT scan or a MRI to measure your disease if you have not had one within 1 month. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood-pregnancy test.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive the study drug in 'cycles.' Cycles will generally be 4 weeks long but may be longer, depending on any side effects you experience from the azacitidine. During each cycle, you will receive azacitidine under the skin once each day for the first 10 days (Day 1 to Day 10). You will then have an 18-day break during which you will not receive azacitidine injections for the rest of the cycle. Additionally, you will take valproic acid pills by mouth, every day, starting the first day of the first cycle (Day 1 to Day 28). You will take valproic acid every day while on study without interruption.
The dose of azacitidine that you receive will depend on when you enroll in this study. You will be part of a study group 'cohort' (6 patients will be enrolled in each cohort). All members of a cohort receive the same dose of azacitidine when they begin receiving the study drug. Each new cohort will receive a higher dose than the cohort before. The dose of azacitidine that you receive may be adjusted depending on how well you tolerate it. The starting dose of valproic acid is fixed for all the patients, but this dose may be adjusted by your physician based on the results of your blood work.
You will have a physical exam and blood tests (about 1 tablespoon each) every two weeks of the first two study drug cycles. For further cycles, you will have a physical exam and blood test only once a month. Your disease will be measured by CT scan or MRI after every 2 treatment cycles.
You may continue to receive the study drug on this study until your disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur. After your participation in this study is over, you will receive follow-up care, as is standard of care for your disease.
This is an investigational study. The FDA has approved azacitidine for a blood disease known as myelodysplastic syndrome. Its use in this study is experimental. The valproic acid is a drug approved by the FDA for treatment of seizure, bipolar disorders, and migraine headaches. Up to 68 patients will take part in the study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Brief Summary
The study aims to study the adequacy of bowel preparation (colon cleansing) for afternoon colonoscopies. The conventional regimen of giving bowel prep on the evening prior to the day of the colonoscopy will be compared with that given on the morning of an afternoon colonoscopy. Endoscopist scoring the bowel cleansing efficacy with an Ottawa Scale are blinded to the randomization process.
Detailed Description
Two bowel preparation regimens of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), commonly referred to as 'Golytely' will be tested for their efficacy (bowel cleansing effect) and patient tolerability. The goal is to reduce the failure rates of afternoon colonoscopies, for which, one of the main reasons attributed is inadequate bowel preparation. For the afternoon colonoscopies, the conventional PEG regimen given on the evening prior to the day of the colonoscopy will be compared with the novel PEG regimen given on the morning of the day of the colonoscopy. The comparison will be drawn for two measures - bowel cleansing effect measured from the questionnaire given to the gastroenterologists performing the colonoscopy and the patient tolerability evaluated from the information gathered from the patient's questionnaire.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to find out if a different type of imaging study called contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is as good as, or better than CT or MRI in patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after receiving TACE treatment
Detailed Description
This is a prospective trial to determine if contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is non-inferior to CT or MRI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) treatments. All patients will receive standard of care CT/MRI and will also get a contrast ultrasound to directly compare.
Timepoint 0- Our proposed study population includes subjects with diagnosed HCC, who are treated with TACE. Patients will be identified and enrolled at the time of initial TACE.
Timepoint 1- Following initial TACE, patients will receive a CT or MRI, as routinely ordered in the post-TACE setting, to assess for residual or new HCC. At this same imaging follow-up visit, patients will also receive a one-time additional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Timepoint 2- Per standard clinical care, patients typically return for repeat imaging (CT/MRI) within 2-4 months following the first imaging visit.

Brief Summary
Lung cancers treated by Tomotherapy represent between 60 and 100 patients per year at the CHR of Metz-Thionville. Some patients were observed to present acute toxicities during treatment such as dysphagia or esophagitis of CTCAE grade \> 2. Beyond well known therapeutic and comorbidities factors, the pathophysiology of these events is largely ruled by a constitutional factor - the enzymatic equipment allowing more or less good repair of the DNA lesions induced by radiotherapy (RT). This equipment is characteristic of each individual, hence the term individual radiosensitivity (IR).The scientific literature is rather poor in data describing the frequency of these toxicities in patients receiving RT for lung cancer.
The objective of this study is to describe the frequency of acute and late toxicities after normofractionated radiotherapy of 66 Gy in 33 fractions in patients with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer, stage 2 or 3.

Brief Summary
Traditional transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a technique used to help determine the stage of rectal cancer. All patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with rectal cancer have an ultrasound at the beginning of their treatment to accurately determine the depth of penetration (how deep into the rectal wall the tumor goes) and lymph node involvement of their tumor. This information helps determine the best way to treat the patient's disease. Three-dimensional TRUS (3-D TRUS) is a new form of ultrasound that gives us all of the information of traditional ultrasound in addition to being able to view the tumor in 3-dimensions. This image can be stored and analyzed to evaluate the tumor size and volume as well as determine the unique shape of the tumor. Chemoradiotherapy before surgery is considered standard of care for most rectal cancers.
Currently, there is no accurate way to determine whether or not the tumor has responded to the pre-operative radiation therapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response of rectal cancer to pre-operative chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy using 3-D TRUS to measure the volume of the tumor before and after chemoradiotherapy.
Detailed Description
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is widely accepted as an accurate and effective technique for staging of rectal cancer. The decision to administer pre-operative chemotherapy/radiation therapy is often made based on the results of the TRUS. The greatest limitation of TRUS is its operator-dependence. Three-dimensional TRUS (3-D TRUS) is a new modality that provides all of the information of traditional TRUS as well as the ability to provide three dimensional views of the tumor. This provides greater detail regarding the configuration of the tumor as well as the ability to calculate tumor volume. The results of 3-D TRUS are interpreted after the study and thus, operator-dependence is reduced. There are no currently accepted techniques that allow for objective and accurate assessment of a rectal tumor's response to pre-operative treatment short of post-operative pathologic evaluation. Our objectives are to evaluate the ability of 3-D TRUS to quantify the tumor's response to pre-operative radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy and to correlate these findings with post-operative pathologic examination of the specimen. These objectives can be accomplished with 2 ultrasounds, one before treatment and one before surgery. All patients with biopsy-proven (with pathology confirmed at MSKCC) rectal cancer are eligible for the study. The size, volume and depth of penetration and lymph node involvement will all be assessed during both ultrasound examinations. Our findings will then be compared to those found at post-operative pathologic examination. These data will then be analyzed to determine if 3-D TRUS was accurate in predicting the tumor's response to preoperative treatment.

Brief Summary
Primary Objectives:
1. To assess the feasibility of mini-allogeneic Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell (PBPC) transplantation in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
2. To determine the success rate (complete remission without severe toxicity or death) at 100 days after the transplant and long-term progression free survival (PFS) rate.
3. To examine the graft vs. breast cancer effect of allogeneic PBPC transplantation.
Detailed Description
If tumors shrink by standard-dose chemotherapy, patients will receive moderate dose chemotherapy to prepare for the blood stem cell transplant. The drug fludarabine will be given by vein on days 1-5. The drug melphalan will be given by vein on days 4 and 5. Day 6 will be a rest day; no drugs will be given. The blood stem cell transplant will be given on day 7. Bone marrow from the matched donor may be used instead of blood stem cells, particularly for unrelated donors. A catheter (tube) will be placed in a large vein in the chest to reduce the number of times patients are stuck with a needle.
Researchers will collect blood stem cells from your brother or sister or from an unrelated donor using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) before receiving high-dose chemotherapy. You will need to have enough stem cells before transplantation.
The drugs G-CSG, tacrolimus, and methotrexate will be given to ease side effects and help blood counts return to normal after the transplant. G-CSF is given as a shot under the skin, starting the day from transplant and continuing until the white blood cell count is normal. Tacrolimus is given by vein or by mouth for 4 to 7 months; during the last month it is given, the dose will be tapered off. Methotrexate is given by vein on days 1, 3, and 6 after transplant. Day 11 of methotrexate is given additionally if a donor is unrelated. Blood transfusions may be needed also.
Antithymocyte globulin will be given to patients who receive blood or bone marrow from donors whose cells do exactly match the patients or from unrelated donors.
Sometimes the transplanted cells attack the normal cells in the patient's body instead of the cancer cells. This is called graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). The drug methylprednisolone will be given by vein or by mouth to fight GVHD is it occurs.
Patients must stay in the hospital for about 3 to 4 weeks. Patients must stay in the Houston area for about 100 days after the transplant. Blood tests will be done daily while the patient is in the hospital. Blood and urine tests and chest x-rays, computer tomography (CT) scans, and/or bone scans will be done during the 100 days.
If there are no signs of disease after 100 days, treatment will stop. Patients must return to the clinic for check-ups once a month for the first year, 3 times a year for 4 years, and once a year after that. If disease is till present after 100 days, but the patient does not have GVHD, the patient may receive an infusion of donor lymphocytes by vein. This treatment may be repeated up to 3 times with 8 weeks between infusions. If no disease is found or if GVHD occurs, treatment will stop.
Before treatment starts, patients will have a complete exam including blood and urine tests. An EKG (heart function test) and a heart scan will be done. Patients will have a dental exam. A test of lung function will be done. A sample of breast tissue will be taken. This is done with a hollow needle while the doctor looks at a CT scan or with a lighted tube placed through a cut in the breast while the patient is under anesthesia.
Herceptin will be given every week, if you have Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER-2)/neu-overexpressing tumor. Prior to this an infusion heart test will be done.
This is an investigational study. Docetaxel, Melphalan, and Herceptin are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use against breast cancer. About 40 patients will take part in the study.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab is effective and safe in the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Detailed Description
Reovirus Serotype 3 - Dearing Strain (REOLYSIN®) is a naturally occurring, ubiquitous, non-enveloped human reovirus. It's primary mode of activity is to infect and selectively target tumors with activating Ras pathway mutations. Up to 70% of pancreatic cancers have activating Ras pathway mutations and/ or over-expressions.
This is an open label, Phase 1b study of REOLYSIN® and chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) histologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma that progressed after (or did not tolerate) first-line therapy. It is thought that Reovirus when combined with chemotherapy would lead to increased viral replication and oncolysis preferentially in RAS activated tumors, with resulting immunogenic response than can be further enhanced by checkpoint inhibition using pembrolizumab. The study is designed to characterize the efficacy and safety of REOLYSIN® given intravenously in combination with one of the three chemotherapy backbone regimens, Gemcitabine, Irinotecan or Leucovorin/ 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and pembrolizumab, the treatment cycle of which will be repeated every 3 weeks. It will follow a 3+3 design with no dose escalations. 3 patients will be initially enrolled. If no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) are observed, the cohort will be expanded. Provided patients do not develop intolerable toxicity (that does not respond to either supportive care or dose reduction) or clinically meaningful disease progression, treatment with additional cycles may be continued so long as patients experience clinical benefit in the judgement of the Investigator.

Detailed Description
Primary objective :
To demonstrate that ultra-radical surgery with multiple visceral resections and high tumor burden prior to surgery independently reduces the survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with complete cytoreductive surgery.
Secondary objectives:
1. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, the high tumor load before surgery decreases survival. / Evaluate whether there is a sub-group of patients at risk for whom the high tumor burden prior to surgery reduces survival.
2. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, the extension of carcinomatosis to the upper abdomen reduces the chances of survival. / Assess whether there is a subgroup of patients at risk for whom the extension of carcinomatosis to the upper abdomen reduces survival.
3. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO Stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, invasion of the celiac lymph nodes reduces survival rates. / Assess whether there is a subset of patients at risk where the invasion of the celiac lymph nodes reduces survival.
4. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated with complete cytoreduction surgery, combination with surgical procedures reduces survival. / Evaluate whether there is a sub-group of at-risk patients for whom the combination of surgical procedures with ultra-radical surgery reduces survival.

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the functional outcome, quality of life and late sequelae in a representative sample of 600 long-term survivors of Ewing sarcoma and to build a unique clinical and functional data pool of the underlying cohort of 3000 Ewing sarcoma patients with a follow-up of 3 decades.
Detailed Description
Trial objective: As survival rates of bone sarcoma patients have been raised owing to improved treatment strategies the focus of investigations is now on the medical, social, and economic sequelae of intensive multimodal treatment. This study aims to assess the functional outcome, quality of life and late sequelae in a representative sample of long-term survivors of Ewing sarcoma. The data recorded combined with standardized treatment data covering a 30-year period will produce a data pool that is unique for its magnitude and will be used for the development of guidelines for further improvements of future bone sarcoma treatment.
Working plan: The working plan provides for the assessment of functional outcome and quality of life by means of validated tools (TESS, SF36, PEDQOL) and objectively measuring daily activity patterns by using the Step Activity Monitor (SAM) in 600 long-term Ewing sarcoma survivors and a control group of 300 matched healthy subjects. Information on sarcoma treatment and follow-up is obtained by re-structuring and complementing the database of the relevant patient cohort (n=3000) from four consecutive nationwide and international clinical trials between 1980 and 2008. Procedures of local treatment will be evaluated regarding functional outcome, quality of life, and survival probability and prognostic factors predicting long-term outcome will be identified.
Exploitation of results: The results will be presented at scientific meetings and will be published in international journals. Guidelines will be developed regarding improvements in the treatment, rehabilitation, and social integration of bone sarcoma patients to be utilized in guiding patients and in the decision process of medical professionals regarding their treatment. In the long run, the evidence based guidelines on treatment and follow-up are to be transferred into the health system.

Brief Summary
This research study is evaluating how a drug called lenalidomide, given in combination with the standard chemotherapy regimen of Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Cytarabine, commonly referred to as MEC, works in individuals with either relapsed or refractory AML
Detailed Description
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. 'Investigational' means that the intervention is being studied.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved lenalidomide for this specific disease, but it has been approved for other uses, including for patients with multiple myeloma and some patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. This treatment is investigational because it is not approved by the FDA for patients with AML. Lenalidomide is a chemotherapy that also modulates the immune system, and is in a category of drugs called immunomodulatory drugs or IMIDs. Some research studies suggest that lenalidomide may be effective in patients with AML. Since the investigators know that many patients who receive MEC chemotherapy alone have less than desired response rates and overall shorter periods of remission (time free from leukemia) after treatment, the investigators are studying whether the addition of lenalidomide to MEC improves upon typical responses.
The combination of MEC (mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine) is a standard treatment option, commonly used for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a family-based intervention (The FOCUS Program) can improve the long-term quality of life and other psycho-social outcomes of men with prostate cancer and their spouses.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study was to determine if a family-based intervention (The FOCUS Program) could improve the long-term quality of life and other psycho-social outcomes of men with prostate cancer and their spouse/partners. Aim 1. The first aim was to determine if the family intervention could improve several proximal clinical outcomes (less negative appraisal of illness or caregiving, less uncertainty, less hopelessness, better family communication, higher self-efficacy, and more problem-focused coping) and improve the distal clinical outcome, quality of life, in a culturally and economically diverse sample of men with prostate cancer and their spouses. Aim 2. The second aim was to test a stress-coping model designed to predict which prostate cancer patients and their spouses are at higher risk of poorer long-term quality of life.

Brief Summary
Research studies have shown a strong association between cancer and blood clots in the veins (also known as deep vein thrombosis). These blood clots can flow to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which in severe cases may be life threatening. Studies have demonstrated that increases in microparticles may contribute to the development of deep vein thrombosis in cancer patients. The purpose of this research study is to see if rosuvastatin lowers the number of tissue factor bearing microparticles in the blood (TFMP). TFMP are small particles that are generated from different types of blood cells in the body. In people who have cancer, TFMP are thought to be generated from cancer cells and may represent a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis.
Detailed Description
* Since no one knows which of the study options are best, participants will be 'randomized' into the following study groups: Group 1 (regular dose of rosuvastatin) or Group 2 (higher dose of rosuvastatin).
* Participants will take 1 pill of rosuvastatin every day for 4 weeks. Each 4 week period is called a cycle.
* Participants will have a physical exam at baseline, on day 1 of starting rosuvastatin, and 2 month visits. Laboratory tests will be taken at baseline, on day 1 of starting rosuvastatin, 6 weeks and 2 months.

Brief Summary
Belantamab Mafodotin is the first antibody conjugate targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). It is used in multiple myeloma refractory to an immunomodulatory drug or proteasome inhibitor and refractory and/or intolerant to an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
It has been found that the immunotherapy causes corneal side effects, Microcyst-like Epithelial Changes (MECs). They are round-shaped corneal inclusions that migrate from the peripheral cornea to the center, causing blurry vision, dryness and refractive shifts depending on their location and density.
Detailed Description
This study aims at analysing the refractive shifts caused by Microcyst-like Epithelial Changes (MECs) and whether it can be used to monitor patients and facilitate their follow up.
Constitution of a French multicenter cohort.
#Intervention
- OTHER : Collection of datas
- The collected data are : sex, age, date of first immunotherapy cycle, dose, date of first consultation, objective refraction in spheric equivalent, keratometry, visual acuity, microcyst-like epithelial changes (MECs), location and density, corneal toxicity grade and complementary exams (topography, in vivo confocal microscopy). | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
The study will evaluate if the N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) can be safely administered to humans at doses, which induce measurable immunological and anti-tumour effects in patients with myeloma who are resistant to or intolerant of lenalidomide and bortezomib.
Detailed Description
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is a small molecule acetyl-lysine mimetic compound with potent (low micromolar range) immunomodulatory and direct anti-myeloma activity attributable to BETbromodomain inhibition at higher concentrations. NMP is nontoxic, stable and already in use as a solvent in biomedical applications. It has been the subject of numerous toxicity studies in humans and been demonstrated to have few adverse effects. The study is proposing an empiric starting dose of 50mg daily, 50% of that seen in healthy volunteers with no observable toxicity. Dose escalation will follow a rule based on accelerated trial design in order to minimise the number of patients treated at sub-therapeutic doses and minimise the length of the study. During the accelerated dose-escalation phase, one patient will be entered per cohort with a dose escalation increment of 100%, with up to 6 dose escalation and up to two dose de-escalation levels.The accelerated phase ends when one patient experiences DLT during the first cycle of treatment or when a total of two patients have experienced moderate toxicity during the first cycle of treatment regardless of the dose level; or the most recent patient has been treated at the highest dose level in the first cycle. If 1 patient experiences a DLT in the first cycle at any dose level, the cohort will be further expanded to a total of 6 patients treated at the same dose level. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in the study will be defined as the highest dose in which the incidence of DLT was less than 33%.

Brief Summary
This study investigates the reprogramming of myeloid cells in patients with thyroid carcinoma. The investigators hypothesize that tumor-derived factors change the function of myeloid cells (peripheral blood and bone marrow-derived) in such a way that these immune cells promote tumor growth rather than combat the tumor.
Detailed Description
Description of the problem:
Non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy and its incidence is one of the most rapidly increasing among the cancer types. For many patients with advanced and poorly differentiated tumors, treatment options are limited and the prognosis of advanced stage metastatic disease remains poor.
Envisioned solution/research direction:
To improve the patients outcome and identify novel therapeutic targets, one needs a 'systems understanding' of the pathophysiology of tumors, particularly the complex interaction of the malignant cells with other cell types in the tumor en the tumor environment (TME), especially immune cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the most dominant myeloid population in aggressive thyroid tumors, exhibit a distorted phenotype functioning predominantly as tumor enhancer. Despite the progress in understanding the importance of TAMs, the in-depth characterization of different TAMs populations is lacking and the mechanisms governing the functional polarization of TAMs are largely unknown. Understanding the interplay between TAMs and tumor cells represents a crucial step towards development of additional therapeutic strategies in cancer.
Hypothesis:
1. We first propose that in advanced TC, not only TAMs, but also circulating monocytes and bone marrow (BM) myeloid progenitors are functionally reprogrammed by tumor-derived factors even before their recruitment in the TME.
2. Radioactive iodide (I131)(RAI) is a very effective therapy for patients with TC, but is less effective in patients with advanced, metastatic tumors. We hypothesize that by exposing tumor antigens to the immune system, RAI might induce immunogenic effects at the level of the TME with reprogramming of both TAMs present in the TME and circulating monocytes, towards a tumor suppressive phenotype. This may further potentiate the effects of RAI. In addition this could be explored in the future as a basis for immunotherapy for tumors that are refractory to conventional treatment.
| #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Group 1:
Subject is newly diagnosed with TC, therapy-naive and is planned to receive conventional treatment by surgery followed by RAI; no evidence of local or distant metastases
* Group 2:
Subject has TC with evidence of distant metastases (either newly diagnosed or therapy-naive or patients with persistent or recurrent disease); at least 4 months since the previous treatment with RAI if applicable
* Group 3:
Subject is diagnosed with MNG, is euthyroid, and is planned to undergo surgery - Group 4: Subject is diagnosed with MNG, is euthyroid, and is planned to receive RAI treatment
* Group 5: Healthy individuals who are euthyroid and have no evidence of thyroid disease
Exclusion Criteria:
* Mentally incompetent
* Pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding
* Known inflammatory or infectious diseases or an immunosuppressive status
* Using medication interfering with the immune system
* Reduced platelet counts or other conditions associated with an increased risk of bleeding
* Severe comorbidities: other active malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma)
* Serious psychiatric pathology
* A self-reported alcohol consumption of >21 units per week

Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
1. To determine whether the primary endpoint: the composite success rate, defined as the proportion of patients who are alive at day 100; and are without grade 3-4 Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD); and are without grade 4 toxicity (unrelated to infection); and have engrafted, is likely to be at least 40%.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To determine the cumulative incidence of chronic graft versus host disease.
2. To determine the overall and disease free survival.
Detailed Description
The combination of drugs used for this study will help to weaken your immune system, which may help to allow the donor's blood stem cells to engraft (grow) in your body.
Anti-thymocyte globulin (also called ATG or thymoglobulin) is designed to help reduce the risk of transplant rejection and to help prevent graft versus host disease.
Rituximab is designed to attach to lymphoma cells, which may cause them to die.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be admitted to the hospital 12 days before the blood stem cell transplant (BSCT), in order to start the pre-transplant treatments and testing. You will have blood (about 1 tablespoon) drawn for routine tests every day while you are in the hospital (before and after the transplant). After the transplant, this blood will be used to check the status of the transplant and watch for any side effects.
You will receive radiation therapy (total lymphoid irradiation) for a total of 10 days before the planned transplant. Radiation therapy will not be given on the weekends. The last radiation treatment will be on the morning of the day you receive your stem cell transplant.
For a total of 5 days after admission to the hospital, you will also receive ATG. ATG will be given through a catheter (plastic tube) that is placed into the large chest vein. The catheter (called a central venous catheter) will stay in place throughout treatment.
You will receive certain drugs as premedication to try to prevent an allergic reaction to the ATG. These may include drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and/or steroids which may include solumedrol or prednisone. Tylenol is given by mouth, and Benadryl and steroids are given either by vein (over 10-15 minutes) or by mouth.
The combination of ATG and radiation will weaken your immune system. A weakened immune system may help to allow your body to 'accept' donor cells, and it may decrease the chance of your body rejecting the cells.
If your diagnostic biopsy showed that a certain protein was found on your tumor cells, you may also receive rituximab therapy. If you are eligible for rituximab treatment, you will receive the drug once a week for 4 weeks. You will receive rituximab through the central venous catheter or through a vein over 6-8 hours. The first dose will be given on an outpatient basis at 13 days before the stem cell transplant. The next 3 doses may be given in the hospital or on an outpatient basis. You will receive rituximab 6 days before the transplant, and then 1 and 8 days after the transplant. Tylenol and steroids will be given before the rituximab to try to prevent an allergic reaction.
You will be given tacrolimus to try to prevent graft versus host disease (when the donor's immune cells react against the recipient's body, attacking the recipient's cells and tissues). You will receive tacrolimus either through the central venous catheter (over 24 hours each time) or by mouth starting 3 days before the stem cell transplant. You will continue receiving tacrolimus as long as your doctor feels it is necessary, which could be anywhere from about 3 months to several years. This will depend on factors such as whether or not you have graft versus host disease, how many donor cells are in your blood, and the status of your disease.
Cellcept (MMF) will also be given to try to prevent graft versus host disease, starting 1 day after the transplant and continuing through Days 28-42 after the transplant. The MMF will be given twice a day through the central venous catheter over 2 hours, or by mouth.
After the pre-transplant treatments and testing are finished, you will have the blood stem cell transplant. Blood stem cells from a donor will be infused over about 1 hour through your central venous catheter. This can be done while you are in the hospital or on an outpatient basis at M. D. Anderson. Steroids and Benadryl will be given through the catheter before the stem cell transplant to try to prevent an allergic reaction. The catheter will be removed once you no longer need to be given fluids, blood products, and other treatments through the catheter for graft versus host disease. This may take anywhere from 3 months after the transplant to several years.
You will have additional blood (about 2 tablespoons) drawn, bone marrow aspirations and biopsies, chest CT scans, and/or chest x-rays performed as needed to check the effects of the transplant. You will have transfusions of blood and platelets as needed, and you will have to sign a separate consent document for these transfusions.
Blood (about 1 tablespoon each time) will also be drawn at least 2-3 times a week for at least 100 days after the transplant, or longer if the study doctor feels it is necessary.
Treatment will be given in the hospital or an outpatient basis at M. D. Anderson. You may need to stay in the hospital for 3-4 weeks. You will be taken off the study if your disease gets worse.
This is an investigational study. The FDA has approved the drugs used in this study. Their use together in this study is investigational. Up to 40 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Brief Summary
In the study proposed, up to 1,500 men age 60 and over with strong smoking histories will test their urine for the presence of blood daily for two 10-day testing periods with the Ames Hemastix. Individuals with even a solitary positive test will undergo a thorough urologic evaluation to determine the cause of hematuria and follow-up will continue for 2 years after completion of the study.
Detailed Description
Reduction of cancer mortality is a stated goal of the National Cancer Institute. Cancer of the bladder is the 4th most commonly diagnosed cancer and 7th leading cause of cancer death in the American men, and represents an important target for mortality-reducing efforts. Furthermore, these tumors, even in early (i.e. curable) stages, usually cause several easily detectable abnormalities, including hematuria, and the presence of abnormal tumor products that are shed into urine or lie within exfoliated malignant cells.
The overall goal of the proposed study is to gain information concerning the performance characteristics of three bladder cancer markers when combined with hematuria testing in detecting bladder cancer.
A mail back questionnaire, completed at the beginning of the study, will provide information about the participants and the results of testings will be reported after each testing period. Individuals with even a solitary positive test will undergo a thorough urologic evaluation to determine the cause of hematuria and follow-up will continue or 2 years after completion of the study. At the time of the evaluation, three bladder cancer marker tests, NMP22 Bladder Chek, ImmunoCyt and UroVysion FISH will be performed, but regardless of the results, a hematuria evaluation will be completed. Data will be updated continually.
The 10 day testing with Hemastix will be repeated 9 months after the first one is completed regardless of the outcome of the first testing.

Brief Summary
This paper investigates the outcomes of two surgical techniques-nasoseptal double flap and nasoseptal rescue flap-used in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors. The nasoseptal flap technique has significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leaks but can cause nasal morbidity.
Detailed Description
The study aims to compare nasal morbidity and function between the two techniques in patients undergoing this type of surgery. Each patient's nasal morbidity, olfaction, and postoperative complications will be assessed using various tools.
#Intervention
- PROCEDURE : Endoscopic Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery : Double Nasoseptal Flap Technique
- Patients with with symptomatic pituitary macroadenoma and tumor size ≥ 2 cm will have transsphenoidal endoscopic excision of pituitary adenoma.
-On one side full sized nasoseptal flap will be elevated and a smaller sized nasoseptal flap will be elevated on the other side.
- PROCEDURE : Endoscopic Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery : Rescue Flap Technique
- Patients with with symptomatic pituitary macroadenoma and tumor size ≥ 2 cm will have transsphenoidal endoscopic excision of pituitary adenoma.
- A horizontal incision will be performed in the nasal septum in a posterior to anterior direction starting from the sphenoid ostium to a point opposite anterior end of the middle turbinate ( approximately up to one half of septum). | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* All consecutive patients with symptomatic pituitary macroadenoma

Brief Summary
In other clinical studies, ON 01910.Na has been safely given intravenously to Patients with advanced cancers. However, to treat some Patients, it may be better if ON 01910.Na could be given by mouth. This study will determine if it is safe to give ON 01910.Na by mouth, what is the highest dose can be safely given by mouth, and how much of the drug gets from the stomach into the blood stream when it is given by mouth.
Detailed Description
This is a three-part phase 1 study in which nineteen to one hundred two patients with Low, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2, or High risk MDS will receive oral doses of ON 01910.Na Concentrate as escalating single or multiple doses (70mg to 700 mg bid) up to 14 days of a 21-day cycle.
Part I: Bioavailability and Tolerability of Single Oral Dosing (n=3):
In Part I of this trial the bioavailability and tolerability of oral ON1910.Na administered as single, oral, escalating doses in a fasting state (defined as no less than 30 minutes before next meal) will be determined in three patients with Low, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 or High Risk MDS. All three patients will receive during the first week a 70mg single oral dose and blood samples for pharmacokinetic analyses will be taken after dosing. In the absence of drug-related grade 2 toxicity or higher, single dosing will be escalated in each patient weekly to 140mg (week 2), 280mg (week 3), 560mg (week 4) and 700mg (week 5).
At the end of Part I (week 6), all patients will be eligible to be enrolled in Part II.
Part II: Determination of MTD (n=10-84):
Part II will proceed if measurable drug levels have been measured in Part I and in the absence of DLT at the 70 mg single dose level in Part I. The maximum tolerated dose of oral ON1910.Na administered in a fasting state (defined as no less than 30 minutes before next meal) twice a day for 14 consecutive days will be determined in patients in patients with Low, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 or High Risk MDS following an adaptive design.
If blood levels were detected only at the 560mg or 700mg dose level in Part I, then the starting dose will be 140 mg. If blood levels were detected at the 280mg dose level or below, then the starting dose will be 70mg. Initially, patients will be enrolled in two-patient cohorts.
* In the absence of drug-related grade 2 or higher toxicity in either one of the two patients treated for an entire 21-day first cycle (treated for a complete 14 day-period and followed up for another 7 days), the next two patients will be receiving a dose escalated by 100% from prior dose (e.g. 140mg from 70mg prior dose; next dose levels will be 280, 560 and 700mg).
* If drug-related grade 2 or higher toxicity is observed in at least one of the two patients treated for a full 21-day cycle, the cohort will be expanded in order to obtain 3 evaluable (treated for an entire 21-day first cycle) patients.
* If no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in the first three patients treated for an entire 21-day first cycle, then the next three patients will be enrolled at a dose level increased by 50% from prior dose (e.g. 105mg from 70mg prior dose; see Table 1 below).
* If one DLT is observed in the first three patients treated for an entire 21-day first cycle, then the three next patients will be enrolled at the same dose level.
* If no more than one DLT is observed in the six patients treated for an entire 21-day cycle, then the next six patients will be administered a dose level increased by 25% from prior dose (e.g. 88mg for 70mg prior dose; see Table 2 below) and all subsequent dose escalations will not exceed 25%.
* If two or more patients in any cohort experience DLT, then the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will have been exceeded and no further dose escalation will occur. The MTD will be established as the immediate prior dosing level
* Identical rules will be applied to all cohorts of patients recruited to the study.
DLT must be at least possibly attributable to ON 01910.Na and is defined as:
* Grade 3 non-hematological toxicity other than nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, esophagitis/dysphagia
* Grade 3 nausea and vomiting uncontrolled by antiemetics; grade 3 diarrhea uncontrolled by antidiarrheal agents; grade 3 drug-induced fever uncontrolled by antipyretics
* Grade 3 stomatitis and/or esophagitis/dysphagia lasting \> 3 days
* Delay in recovery to baseline blood counts below pre-treatment baseline (\>20% difference) of more than 30 days in the absence of a response
If a patient has a DLT (see definition above) beyond the completion of the first 21-day cycle, administration of oral ON 01910.Na, treatment will be discontinued or reduced (at the discretion of the Principal Investigator) to the lower dose level, or by 25% if the patient was treated at the 70mg dose level. Patients should return to within 20% of their baseline, pre-cycle ANC, platelet or hemoglobin levels prior to treatment with a subsequent cycle. Treatment can be delayed for up to 21 days (1 cycle length) until counts return to their pre-treatment baseline. If counts are still not adequate for treatment, the patient will be re-evaluated 2 weeks later. If any non-hematological toxicity of Grade 2 or 3 is present on the day of ON 01910.Na administration, the drug administration will be withheld until resolution to ≤ grade 1 toxicity is present.
ON 01910.Na blood concentrations will be determined 1 hours after first dosing on days 1, 7 and 14 in all patients recruited in Part II.
Treatment will be continued until progression or stopped in the absence of bone marrow response or hematological improvement after 16 weeks.
Part III: Food/Fast and Absolute Bioavailability PK analysis at MTD in confirming cohort (n=15):
Up to fifteen patients with Low, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 or High Risk MDS will be enrolled at the MTD dose level and treated until progression. The treatment will be stopped in the absence of bone marrow response or hematological improvement after 16 weeks.
A subset of twelve patients will undergo the following procedures:
On Day 1, patients will be dosed with ON 01910.Na 800 mg/m2 IV for 24 hours and pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed
* After a wash-out period of 3 days, patients will be dosed with ON 01910.Na MTD dosing in a fasting state twice a day for 3 days. Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed on the first (Day 5) day of drug administration. Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, patients will be administered ON 01910.Na with 240 mL (8 fluid ounces) of water. No food should be allowed for at least 4 hours post-dose. Water can be allowed as desired except for one hour before and after drug administration. Patients should receive standardized meals scheduled at the same time during the pharmacokinetic evaluations.
* After a second wash-out period of 3 days, patients will be dosed with ON 01910.Na MTD dosing in a fed state (defined as within 30 minutes after prior meal) twice a day for 3 days. Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed on the first (Day 11) day of drug administration. Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, patients should start the meal 30 minutes prior to administration of ON 01910.Na. Patients should eat this meal in 30 minutes or less and ON 01910.Na should be administered 30 minutes after start of the meal with 240 mL (8 fluid ounces) of water. No food should be allowed for at least 4 hours post-dose. Water can be allowed as desired except for one hour before and after ON 01910.Na administration.
Oral dosing at MTD level will resume in a fasting state on Day 1 of the second 21-day cycle (14 days of bid dosing followed by a 7-day off treatment period) until progression is noted. The treatment will be stopped in the absence of bone marrow response or hematological improvement after 16 weeks.
If a patient has a DLT (see definition above) beyond the completion of the first 21-day cycle, administration of oral ON 01910.Na, treatment will be discontinued or reduced (at the discretion of the Principal Investigator) to the lower dose cohort level, or by 25% if the patient was treated at the 70 mg dose level. Patients should return to within 20% of their baseline, pre-cycle ANC, platelet or hemoglobin levels prior to treatment with a subsequent cycle. Treatment can be delayed for up to 21 days (1 cycle length) until counts return to their pre-treatment baseline. If counts are still not adequate for treatment, the patient will be re-evaluated 2 weeks later. If any non-hematological toxicity of Grade 2 or 3 is present on the day of ON 01910.Na administration, the drug administration will be withheld until resolution to ≤ grade 1 toxicity is present.
#Intervention
- DRUG : ON 01910.Na
- In Part I, the bioavailability and tolerability of ON 01910.Na as single, oral, escalating doses in a fasting state (defined as no less than 30 min before next meal) is studied. Three patients get 70mg dose the 1st week. In the absence of drug-related grade 2 toxicity or higher, doses will escalate in each patient weekly (wk) to 140mg (wk 2), 280mg (wk 3), 560mg (wk 4) and 700mg (wk 5). At end of Part I all patients will be eligible for Part II. Part II proceeds if drug is measured in plasma and DLT not observed at 70mg dose in Part I. The maximum tolerated dose of oral ON 01910.Na administered in a fasting state (defined as no less than 30 min before next meal) twice a day for 14 days will be determined following an adaptive design at doses between 70 and 700mg.
