This phase I/II trial investigates the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of tazemetostat in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib in treating patients with melanoma that has a specific mutation in the BRAF gene (BRAFV600) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Tazemetostat, dabrafenib, and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tazemetostat in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib may stabilize BRAFV600 mutated melanoma. Read Less

This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate a pilot test of a web-based Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) continuing care intervention to support individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) exiting standard outpatient treatment. Guided by the Centre for eHealth and Wellbeing Research (CeHRes) roadmap, the project follows a structured framework for digital intervention development: (1) contextual inquiry, (2) value specification, (3) design, (4) operationalization, and (5) summative evaluation. Contextual inquiry is defined as gathering information from the intended users and the environment in which the technology will be implemented. The next step, value specification, is defined as the quantification of the values of the key stakeholders, where the user requirements for the technology and the most favorable solutions emerge. This process elaborates on what was discovered in the contextual inquiry step and an analytical hierarchy is conducted to assign quantifiable values to the stakeholders' priorities for the intervention. Design is the step defined as the process of building prototypes of the technology that fit with the values and requirements of the stakeholders, and then testing the prototype in realistic situations. Operationalization is the implementation of the intervention. The final step, summative evaluation, is the assessment of the intervention's impact. The research team plans to conduct a needs assessment (Aim 1a), develop (Aim 1b), implement (Aim 2a), and evaluate (Aim 2b) a pilot test of a web-based MBRP continuing care intervention, named "Renewed Recovery", targeting individuals exiting standard outpatient treatment for alcohol. Aim 1: Design a web-based mindfulness continuing care intervention. Aim 1a: Conduct a community needs assessment. To understand the need for such an intervention, semi-structured qualitative interviews with program administrators (n=3) from partnering substance use treatment facilities will be conducted (contextual inquiry). To better understand the recovery journey after exiting standard outpatient treatment, semi-structured interviews with individuals (n\~10) who have been in treatment more than once will be conducted (contextual inquiry). After interviewing the 2 stakeholder groups, a meeting will be held to determine their list of priorities for this project (value specification). Aim 1b: Develop the intervention website (design). The website for the intervention will be created by creating multiple wireframe iterations and presenting them to the stakeholders to determine the best formatting. The curriculum on the site will be modeled after the original MBRP curriculum. After coming to a consensus on the best version of the website, a usability test will be conducted of a newly created prototype with the same 10 individuals who identified as having been in treatment more than once. A quantitative survey will be employed and a focus groups will be held to assess the usability, equitability, enjoyability, and usefulness of the website. Aim 2: Implement and evaluate the pilot test at partnering treatment facilities. Aim 2a: Implement the pilot test of the web-based MBRP continuing care intervention (operationalization). After altering the intervention based on the usability test, the program will begin to be implemented. 30 people (3 groups of 10) will. Be recruited to participate in the intervention that will be 8 weeks in length (1 module per week, for a total of 8 modules), composed of a self-guided curriculum of text and videos, as well as two zoom sessions to practice meditating as a group. Aim 2b: Evaluate the pilot test to determine process and behavior outcomes (summative evaluation). To measure process outcomes, surveys will be employed asking about the usability, equitability, enjoyability, and usefulness of the website as well as their overall satisfaction with the intervention. Recruitment and retention rates will be another identifier of process outcomes. To measure behavior outcomes, participants will be given a multitude of measures at baseline to measure relapse, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, coping mechanisms, social support, acceptance, mindfulness, and reactivity to triggers. Analysis of these measures will be done via multilevel modeling. These measures will also be given at the completion of the program and at 3 months after completion. Read Less

This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.

This phase II trial tests how well tailoring therapy in post-surgery works in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer. The usual approach for patients with low-risk endometrial cancer is treatment with surgery. In this study, tissue that is removed as part of the surgical procedure is analyzed in the pathology laboratory to help guide the doctor to decide whether or not additional treatment such as radiation and or chemotherapy should be recommended.

The purpose of this trial is to test whether treatment with tralokinumab (administered subcutaneous injections \[SC\]) in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) is safe and effective to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in children and infants. This will be judged by a range of assessments that rate the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis and its symptoms, as well as general health status and quality of life. The trial will last for up to 4 years. There will be visits every 2 weeks for the first year and every 6 weeks thereafter. Some of the visits will be conducted by phone. The study involves two different age groups: children aged 2 to under 12 years and infants aged 6 months to under 2 years. This trial compares tralokinumab +TCS to placebo + TCS for children with moderate-to-severe AD and evaluates tralokinumab + TCS for infants with moderate-to-severe AD. Infants will not receive placebo. All subjects will go through a screening process, which is the first part of the trial and will last up to 4 weeks. During this period, it will be checked if the child or infant meets the criteria to participate in the trial. The children will be randomly assigned to receive tralokinumab + TCS or placebo + TCS for the initial 16 weeks, with the treatment being double-blinded. During the first 16 weeks, children will have a 2 out of 3 chance of getting tralokinumab and a 1 out of 3 chance of getting placebo. Thereafter, all subjects will receive tralokinumab + TCS. The infants will receive tralokinumab + TCS as open-label treatment for the entire treatment period, meaning that the participants will know they are receiving tralokinumab. After stopping treatment, all participants will enter a 4-week safety follow-up period. Read Less

This study will test the effectiveness of a community-based patient navigator intervention from mid-pregnancy through 12 month postpartum for a high-risk population of medically underserved women. The RCT will enroll 540 pregnant women before 20 weeks of pregnancy and randomly allocate them into two different study arms from the time of prenatal enrollment through 12 months postpartum. If found to be effective, the community-based patient navigator intervention can be implemented as a standard of care at Grady and other provider practices serving high-risk women to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce racial disparities.

This clinical trial evaluates how well two surgical procedures (bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) work in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer for individuals with BRCA1 mutations. Bilateral salpingectomy involves the surgical removal of fallopian tubes, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy involves the surgical removal of both the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This study may help doctors determine if the two surgical procedures are nearly the same for ovarian cancer risk reduction for women with BRCA1 mutations. Read Less

VETERANS ONLY. Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is common. Most Americans will have at least one episode of low back pain in their lifetimes. Approximately 50% of all US Veterans have chronic pain, and CLBP is the most common type of pain in this population. This study will use a sequential randomized, pragmatic, 2-step comparative effectiveness study design. The main goal is to identify the best approach for treating cLBP using commonly recommended non-surgical and non-pharmacological options. The first step compares continued care and active monitoring (CCAM) to internet-based pain self-management (Pain EASE) and an enhanced physical therapy intervention that combines Pain EASE with tailored exercise and physical activity. Patients who do not have a significant decrease in pain interference (a functional outcome) in Step 1 and those desiring additional treatment will be randomized in Step 2 to yoga, spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), or therapist-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants proceeding to randomization in Step 2 will be allowed to exclude up to one of the three Step 2 treatments based on their preferences. The investigators' primary hypothesis for the first treatment step is that an enhanced physical therapy intervention that combines pain self-management education with a tailored exercise program will reduce pain interference greater than internet-based pain self-management alone or CCAM in Veterans with cLBP. The primary outcome is change in pain interference at 3 months, measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) pain interference subscale. Study participants will be followed for one year after initiation of their final study treatments to assess the durability of treatment effects. The study plans to randomize 2529 patients across 20 centers. Read Less
