Tailoring Therapy in Post-surgical Patients With Low-risk Endometrial Cancer
NCT06388018
Recruiting
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.

Testing Olaparib for One or Two Years, With or Without Bevacizumab, to Treat Ovarian Cancer
NCT06580314
Recruiting
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 format... Read More

Colorectal Metastasis to Liver Extraction With Auxiliary Transplant and Delayed Resection
NCT06698146
Recruiting
Liver transplantation (LT) has become an accepted treatment for selected patients with unresectable liver metastases due to colorectal cancer (CRLM). The goal of this study is to look at and compare the clinical results of all the different approved methods (living vs. Deceased, whole organ vs. Split, one staged vs. Two staged) used to perform a standard liver transplant procedure for recipients with CRLM. Investigators will look at things like different procedure results, recovery in the hospit... Read More

Clinical Trial of Approaches to Prostate Cancer Surgery
NCT05155501
Recruiting
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare cancer control and health-related quality of life following pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy versus standard radical prostatectomy. The investigators hypothesize that pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy will have similar cancer control (primary outcome) and sexual function outcomes; and significantly better urinary function, penile shortening/deformity and inguinal hernia risks as compared to radical prostatectomy.

Postextubation Use of Noninvasive Respiratory Support in Severely Obese Patients
NCT05918575
Recruiting
Around 20% of the obese patients with higher body mass index (BMI) who are taken off the breathing tube and breathing machine (ventilator) end up needing it back to support breathing. The re-application of breathing tube is associated with poor outcomes, including high risk of pneumonia, longer hospital stays, and death. The purpose of this study is to assess if prophylactic use of noninvasive breathing support after removing the breathing tube lowers the chance of needing the breathing tube aga... Read More

Technology Enabled Strategies to Promote Treatment Adherence in Liver Transplant
NCT05260268
Recruiting
Liver transplantation is increasingly performed for older adults with multiple comorbidities. Medication adherence is key to maintaining proper function of the transplanted liver and optimize health; however, adhering to post-transplant treatment is complex. This trial will study how available technology combined with transplant center resources and caregiver support can optimize medication adherence, quality of life, and health outcomes among new liver transplant recipients at 3 centers.

A Randomized Crossover Trial of Bright Light Therapy in Crohn's Disease on Intestinal Barrier Homeostasis
NCT05579392
Recruiting
Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are two of the most significant chronic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and affects over 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. Recently, there has been an increased understanding of the importance of sleep and sleep disruption in IBD as a potentially modifiable risk factor. We, therefore, hypothesize that intervening with morning bright light therapy (BLT) in IBD patients with C... Read More
