Naxitamab Added to Induction for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma
Recruiting
This is a prospective, multicenter clinical trial in subjects with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma to evaluate the efficacy and safety of administering naxitamab with standard induction therapy. The initial chemotherapy will include 5 cycles of multi-agent chemotherapy. Naxitamab will be added to all 5 Induction cycles. We hypothesize that the addition of anti-GD2 therapy to induction chemotherapy will result in improved end of induction responses and improved survival.

Vincristine Pharmacokinetics in Infants
Recruiting
This pilot trial compares drug exposure levels using a new method for dosing vincristine in infants and young children compared to the standard dosing method based on body surface area (BSA) in older children. Vincristine is an anticancer drug used to a variety of childhood cancers. The doses anticancer drugs in children must be adjusted based on the size of the child because children vary significantly in size (height, weight, and BSA) and ability to metabolize drugs from infancy to adolescence...

Cabozantinib and Dostarlimab in Recurrent Gynecologic Carcinosarcoma
Recruiting
Immunotherapy has gained a significant amount of attention recently, but its efficacy as a single agent in gynecological cancers has been disappointing. Pre-clinical evidence supports the combination of using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF) inhibitors with immunotherapy. VEGF inhibitors suppress the activation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and VEGF has been shown to affect the functional maturation of dendritic cells; therefore, VEGF inhibitors could improve the function of a...

Gain of Keratinized Mucosa Around Teeth and Dental Implants Using a Combination of Strip Gingival Graft and Acellular Dermal Matrix
Recruiting
This study is to compare the two techniques to achieve change in the tissue quality at areas of lack of Keratinized Tissue (KT) using soft tissue grafting with autogenous graft material (Free Gingival Graft)(FGG) vs Strip gingival graft with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) (SGG+ADM).

Relationships of Affect and Neuroinflammation With Clinical Pain in Veterans With Fibromyalgia
Recruiting
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain condition that disproportionately impacts Veterans. Individuals diagnosed with FM patients experience lower self-esteem and positive affect, as well as greater levels of depression, anxiety, negative affect, and pain catastrophizing. Among those experiencing FM, clinical and experimental pain are associated with specific dispositional trait profiles, which are indexed by levels of negative affect and positive affect. Neuroinflammation and inflammation also pla... Read More

Stimulus-Evoked Directional Field Potentials to Guide Subthalamic and Pallidal DBS for PD
Recruiting
Our goal is to better understand how DBS modifies local neuronal activity and to pioneer device technologies that can record local DBS-evoked potentials (DLEPs) to guide therapy. Our vision is for a patient's unique electrophysiology to guide both electrode targeting during surgery and programming in clinic, eventually as an integrated component of the implanted pulse generator. Our results will inform directional DBS for PD and serve as a model for translation to other diseases where knowledge... Read More

Research Study Investigating How Well NDec Works in People With Sickle Cell Disease
Recruiting
This study examines how well a new, potential medicine called NDec works and is tolerated in people with sickle cell disease. NDec is a combination of two medicines (decitabine-tetrahydrouridine). Both medicines are new for the treatment of sickle cell disease. Participants who are not taking Hydroxyurea (HU) will get NDec, NDec and placebo, or placebo. Participants who are on HU treatment before joining the study will get NDec, NDec and placebo, or continue on HU. Which treatment participants g... Read More

Melanoma Margins Trial-II: 1cm v 2cm Wide Surgical Excision Margins for AJCC Stage II Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
Recruiting
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of... Read More
