Comparing Dara-VCD Chemotherapy Plus Stem Cell Transplant to Dara-VCD Chemotherapy Alone for People Who Have Newly Diagnosed AL Amyloidosis
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding a stem cell transplant with melphalan after completing chemotherapy with daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) versus chemotherapy with Dara-VCD alone for treating patients with newly diagnosed amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Melphalan is a chemotherapy given prior to a stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make... Read More

Carboplatin Chemotherapy Before Surgery for People With High-Risk Prostate Cancer and an Inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 Gene Mutation
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well carboplatin before surgery works in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving carboplatin before surgery may shrink tumors in patients with h... Read More

Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)
Recruiting
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-sma... Read More

Pilot and Feasibility Study of 2'-FL as a Dietary Supplement in IBD Patients Receiving Stable Maintenance Anti-TNF Therapy
Recruiting
Randomized, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study of 2'-FL in IBD, Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The overarching hypothesis is that 2'-FL supplementation in IBD will be safe and well tolerated, while increasing fecal Bifidobacterium abundance and butyrate in a dose dependent manner. The investigators will test 1, 5, or 10 gm 2'-FL compared to 2 gm dextrose placebo as a daily dietary supplement in pediatric and young adult IBD participants in stable remission receiving inflixi...

Pain and Weight Treatment: Development and Trial of PAW
Recruiting
Pediatric weight management efficacy is impacted by failure to complete treatment protocols and, for those that do complete treatment, a return to unhealthy behaviors. This project tests whether treating pain, a common comorbid condition to pediatric obesity, will enhance treatment. This study will generate results that can be translated into immediate improvements in care for families seeking treatment for pediatric obesity.

Improving Availability of Intranasal Naloxone
Recruiting
While there is a lifesaving medication called naloxone that can reverse the deadly effects of opioid overdose, patients often fail to fill the prescription at the pharmacy when it is prescribed. This is particularly concerning and true in those at the highest risk of death-those who end up in the emergency department for opioid overdose. The goal of this study is to compare the impact of different overdose education on naloxone prescription fill rates in opioid users being discharged from our ho... Read More

Tai Chi as a Novel Strategy to Increase Physical Activity Among Adults Pursuing Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 10-wk hybrid Tai Chi (TC) program with in-person classes and online TC videos among 24 physically inactive adults who are seeking metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in a single-arm trial. The aims are: Aim 1: Feasibility: To evaluate whether TC is feasible, defined as a mean attendance rate of ≥70% in-person TC classes attended. Aim 2: Acceptability: To evaluate whether TC is acceptable, defined as a mean... Read More

OSA-18 in Children With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Can it be a Helpful Decision Making Tool?
Recruiting
The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep apnea, there is limited research regarding comparative efficacy of various treatment options. The impact of a QOL questionnaire can be a significant deciding factor and may... Read More
