This is retrospective, multicenter chart review is to evaluate the complication rates of prophylactic open NSM procedures through 42 days postoperatively Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well TPIV100 and sargramostim work in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage II-III breast cancer that has residual disease after chemotherapy prior to surgery. It also studies why some HER2 positive breast cancer patients respond better to chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. TPIV100 is a type of vaccine made from HER2 peptide that may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express HER2. Sargramostim increases the number of white blood cells in the body following chemotherapy for certain types of cancer and is used to alert the immune system. It is not yet known if TPIV100 and sargramostim will work better in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage II-III breast cancer. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to better tell apart whether kidney tumors are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer) based on a biopsy or imaging tests and ask patients how they feel about decisions they make about treatment of their kidney tumor. The main objectives are: To estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of renal mass biopsy alone, PEER (with renal mass biopsy), and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT (with renal mass biopsy for hot tumors) to differentiate malignant and benign renal tumors. To estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of renal mass biopsy, PEER (with renal mass biopsy), and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT (with renal mass biopsy for hot tumors) to differentiate oncocytoma from chromophobe RCC. Participants will be asked to complete survey questions related to their health and kidney tumor at the start and end of the study. These can be done on paper, electronically, or by telephone.

This is a multicenter prospective, longitudinal cohort study which will evaluate the predictive capacity of machine learning (ML) models for progression of CKD in eligible patients for a minimum of 12 months and potentially for up to 4 years. Read Less

The proposed research and training will allow Dr. Alana Biggers to obtain critical research skills and study a mindfulness meditation program designed to improve sleep and reduce stress in African-American adults with diabetes. If effective, this program may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease among African-Americans with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Read Less

Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) often have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) which may adversely affect prognosis. There is uncertainty about the benefits and the optimal timing of revascularization for such patients. There is currently clinical equipoise regarding the management of concomitant CAD in patients undergoing TAVR. Some centers perform routine revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (either before or after TAVR), while others follow an alternative strategy of medical management. The potential benefits and optimal timing of PCI in these patients are unknown. As TAVR expands to lower risk patients, and potentially becomes the preferred therapy for the majority of patients with severe aortic stenosis, the optimal management of concomitant coronary artery disease will be of increasing importance. The COMPLETE TAVR study will determine whether, on a background of guideline-directed medical therapy, a strategy of complete revascularization involving staged PCI using drug eluting stents to treat all suitable coronary artery lesions is superior to a strategy of medical therapy alone in reducing the composite outcome of Cardiovascular Death, new Myocardial Infarction, Ischemia-driven Revascularization or Hospitalization for Unstable Angina or Heart Failure. The study will be a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial with blinded adjudication of outcomes. Patients will be screened and consented for elective transfemoral TAVR and randomized within 96 hours of successful balloon expandable TAVR. Complete Revascularization: Staged PCI using third generation drug eluting stents to treat all suitable coronary artery lesions in vessels that are at least 2.5 mm in diameter and that are amenable to treatment with PCI and have a ≥70% visual angiographic diameter stenosis. Staged PCI can occur any time from 1 to 45 days post successful transfemoral TAVR. Vs. Medical Therapy Alone: No further revascularization of coronary artery lesions. All patients, regardless of randomized treatment allocation, will receive guideline-directed medical therapy consisting of risk factor modification and use of evidence-based therapies. The COMPLETE TAVR study will help address the current lack of evidence in this area. It will likely impact both the global delivery of health care and the management and clinical outcomes of all patients undergoing TAVR with concomitant CAD. Read Less

This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, non-randomized study of RiMO-301 with hypofractionated radiation and a PD-1 Inhibitor in patients with unresectable, recurrent or metastatic head-neck cancer. Read Less

This purpose of this study is to learn about how to provide treatment to gynecologic cancer survivors who have difficulty sleeping. Read Less

The MoSAIC study is a prospective, observational study designed to develop an early prediction tool for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and define a distinct immunologic profile compared to moderate acute pancreatitis (MAP). The aims are to validate a new multi-cytokine panel for early prediction of SAP and to identify the specific immune cells that correspond with cytokine signatures in early acute pancreatitis to characterize the immune pathways driving the development of SAP. Participants will provide blood samples and complete patient surveys and interviews within 36 hours of hospital presentation, at 48 hours, and hospital day 7 (if admitted). Data on hospital stay, medical history, clinical course, and severity of disease will be collected. Read Less

This is a phase II study to assess the efficacy, safety, and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of combination cabozantinib and pembrolizumab as maintenance therapy for patients with metastatic squamous Non Small Cell Lung Cancer(sqNSCLC) who have received 4 cycles of induction therapy with pembrolizumab, carboplatin, and nab-paclitaxel or paclitaxel Read Less

The investigators will perform follow-up on 500 cases of deep and lobar intracerebral hemorrhage to perform advanced neuroimaging before 45 days post stroke, and evaluations of motor and cognitive function at baseline, 3 months and 6 months to determine predictors of recovery, progressive cognitive or functional impairment.
