Phase II Study of Olaparib and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Melanoma With Homologous Recombination (HR) Mutation
Recruiting
This open-label phase II trial studies how well olaparib in combination with pembrolizumab works in treating patients with advanced, metastatic melanoma with the homologous recombination (HR) pathway gene mutation / alteration. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and potentially augment an anti-tumor immune response to pembrolizumab. The trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of olaparib in combination with pembrolizuma... Read More

Oxaloacetate for the Improvement of Cognitive Complaints in Stage 0-IIIA Breast Cancer Survivors
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well oxaloacetate works in reducing cognitive complaints in stage 0-IIIA breast cancer survivors. Oxaloacetate is a natural substance found in the body and is available as a nutritional supplement. Giving oxaloacetate may reduce inflammation in the brain that could be contributing to cognitive complaints seen after cancer treatments.

The BIomarker Guided Study for Depression
Recruiting
The diagnosis of major depression relies on patient reports, and two patients with the same diagnosis might share only one symptom. Thus, a single mechanism is unlikely to underlie a broad descriptive diagnosis such as major depression. Our approach is anchored by a neural circuit taxonomy that proposes distinct biotypes of depression derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (Williams et al., 2016). In this study, we aim to target a putative type of major depression that arises... Read More

Adoptive Cell Transfer of Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes and High-Dose Interleukin 2 in Select Solid Tumors
Recruiting
To determine whether special tumor fighting cells that is taken from participants' tumors and grown in the laboratory and then given back to the participant will fight the participant's cancer when their immune system is suppressed from attacking these special tumor fighting cells. This is called transfer of autologous (they came from you) tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (the cells that have been grown in the laboratory. Participants getting these cell infusions will also be treated with interleu... Read More

High Dose IL-2 in Combination With Anti-PD-1 to Overcome Anti-PD-1 Resistance in Metastatic Melanoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma
Recruiting
The primary objective of this single arm phase 2 trial is to assess the response rate [complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)] of combined nivolumab and HD IL-2 in subjects with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Response will be performed after each course of nivolumab and IL-2 using RECIST 1.1. Patients will be treated for one course past best response for a maximum of 3 courses.

The goal of this proof-of-concept clinical trial is to determine whether cardiac rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and chronotropic (heart rate) response to exercise among people with Long COVID. The study will include individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms not present prior to COVID-19 that are persistent for at least 3 months after acute infection ("Long COVID"), and who have reduced exercise capacity less than predicted and reduced heart rate response during cardiop...

Cardiovascular Effects of Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure
Recruiting
Methamphetamine (MA) is one of the commonly used drugs during pregnancy. Cardiovascular effects of MA include elevated blood pressure, acute vasospasm, atherosclerotic disease, structural and electrical remodeling of cardiac tissue leading to arrhythmias and heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension.1 In addition, MA can cause neurotoxicity with harmful effects on neurodevelopment in the children who had prenatal exposure.5-8 Currently neonatal providers do not perform detailed cardiovascular ev...
