A Study to Compare the Administration of Encorafenib + Binimetinib + Nivolumab Versus Ipilimumab + Nivolumab in BRAF-V600 Mutant Melanoma With Brain Metastases
NCT04511013
Recruiting
This phase II trial compares the effect of encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab versus ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with BRAF- V600 mutant melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial aims to find out which approach... Read More

Comparing the Outcome of Immunotherapy-Based Drug Combination Therapy With or Without Surgery to Remove the Kidney in Metastatic Kidney Cancer, the PROBE Trial
NCT04510597
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow an...

Standard Systemic Therapy With or Without Definitive Treatment in Treating Participants With Metastatic Prostate Cancer
NCT03678025
Recruiting
This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

Posterior Rectus Sheath Hiatal Augmentation in Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
NCT06551077
Recruiting
This study will be a prospective observation study of the use of PoRSHA for repair in patients with challenging paraesophageal hernias. One of the most challenging problems facing foregut surgeons is the large and complex paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair in the older patient. The investigator has demonstrated good outcomes and durability with the initial use of a novel permanent autologous vascularized biologic fascial flap to reconstruct the diaphragmatic hiatus following standard hiatal her...

Comparing Brief Behavioral Therapy (BBT-CI) and Healthy Eating Education Learning (HEAL) for Cancer-Related Sleep Problems While Receiving Chemotherapy
NCT04829539
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares BBT-CI to HEAL for the reduction of insomnia in patients with stage I-IV cancer who are receiving cancer treatment. Cancer treatment can cause side effects such as sleep problems. Sleep problems such as insomnia, are common for cancer patients. Insomnia can be described as difficulty falling asleep, waking up many times during the night or waking up earlier than patient would like. Insomnia can increase fatigue and worsen quality of life. This trial may help researc... Read More

ROX Index for the Timing of Intubation in Nasal High Flow
NCT04707729
Recruiting
Late or delayed intubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) treated with nasal high flow (NHF) is associated with increased patient mortality. The ROX index has been designed and validated to predict outcome of NFH therapy by identifying those patients with a high risk of NHF failure and those with a high probability of success. Whether or not the ROX index may improve patient outcome remains to be shown. To do so, a strategy using the ROX index must lead to earlier in... Read More

Perimetric Testing With Virtual Reality
NCT06549010
Recruiting
Perimetry is an essential component in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. Since the advent of Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP), one of the clinical standards has been the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA, Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany). Visual field (VF) testing provided by the HFA is standard-of-care in glaucoma clinics and other ophthalmology and optometry practices. However, the HFA is a large device that does not allow for examination outside the clinic and can be uncomfortable for... Read More
