Accurate, Rapid and Inexpensive MRI Protocol for Breast Cancer Screening
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to test an innovative MRI breast cancer screening method in women with mammographically dense breasts as well as other women with moderately increased cancer risk. MRI, combined with other methods of risk assessment, has potential to significantly improve sensitivity to cancer in dense breasts and detect cancer in all cases at a much earlier stage, with far fewer interval cancers than mammography. Previous tests of MRI sensitivity show that this screening could signi... Read More

Pembrolizumab and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Circulating Tumor Cells Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact on progression-free survival (PFS) with the combination carboplatin - pembrolizumab in patients with CTC (circulating tumor cells) positive, HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with anthracyclines and taxanes. Previous studies have indicated that recurrent breast cancers are more resistant to chemotherapy and maybe associated with a weak immune system. This study is investigating the use of an immune therapy drug, pembroliz... Read More

Effects of Lutein Supplementation on Cognition and MPOD in Multiple Sclerosis Patients-
Recruiting
The central hypothesis is that lutein supplementation will improve MPOD and cognition. Accordingly, the specific aims are to 1) to determine the process feasibility associated with participating in 4-month lutein supplementation trial; and 2) to investigate the scientific feasibility of 4-month daily lutein supplementation on biological markers of lutein status and cognitive function among persons with MS.

An Amniotic Membrane Injection Comparing Two Doses (1 mL and 2 mL Injection) and a Placebo (Sterile Saline) in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection when compared to a placebo.

Positive Pressure Treadmill Walking for Individuals With Knee Pathology
Recruiting
Our goal is to compare the serum biomarker changes of joint disease that occur in response to partially off-loaded (50%) walking exercise to regular (100%) walking exercise while on a Lower Body Positive Pressure (LBPP) treadmill. Secondly we are determining the relationship between changes in the concentration of these serum biomarkers and participant reported knee pain while walking on a LBPP treadmill.

Testing an Active Form of Tamoxifen (4-hydroxytamoxifen) Delivered Through the Breast Skin to Control Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) of the Breast
Recruiting
This randomized phase IIB trial studies how well tamoxifen or afimoxifene works in treating patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate or afimoxifene may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.
