Study of Pelvic Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Endometrial Cancer
Recruiting
This study will investigate if a shorter treatment course (known as "hypofractionation") for pelvic radiation is safe for women with endometrial cancer. Doctors leading the study will also determine the safest and most tolerable dose of shortened radiation (hypofractionation) used to treat women in this study. Because this study will shorten the radiation course typically used to treat endometrial cancer, each daily treatment given to women in this study will be slightly higher than normal to en...

Empowering Veterans to Actively Communicate and Engage in Shared Decision Making in Medical Visits, A Randomized Controlled Trial
Recruiting
Type 2 diabetes is a significant condition in VA affecting 20% of VA patients. Adherence to medication regimens and lifestyle factors is important to achieve care goals for these patients. Patients who use active participatory communication behaviors with their providers have better adherence to treatment and better biomedical outcomes, yet many patients are not prepared to engage in active communication with their providers. Existing coaching interventions have not been adopted in practice beca... Read More

Relugolix and Enzalutamide in Combination With Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Very High Risk Prostate Cancer, OPTIMAL Trial
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well relugolix and enzalutamide, in combination with radiation therapy, works in treating patients with very high risk prostate cancer. Relugolix is a form of androgen deprivation therapy. It prevents the release of testosterone, a hormone required to sustain prostate growth. Reducing testosterone levels may inhibit the proliferation of prostate tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor. It inhibits the acti...
