TSC Biosample Repository and Natural History Database
Recruiting
The TSC Biosample Repository collects and stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues that scientists can request to use in their research. The samples we collect are all linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. The TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person's health over his or her lifetime. This data may be collected retrospectively or prospectively.

A Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of BCL2 Inhibitor Sonrotoclax as Monotherapy and in Combination With Zanubrutinib in Adults With Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax (BGB-11417) in participants with relapsed/refractory Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (R/R WM) and in combination with zanubrutinib in adult participants with previously untreated WM.

Symptomatic Carotid Outcomes Registry
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to build upon trials done over 30 years ago, which did not include statins, new antiplatelet agents, and newer antihypertensive medications. Since the landmark trials (NASCET, ECST), there have been new developments in medical stroke prevention, which creates a gap in knowledge. The aim of this study is to evaluate that clinical care with Intensive Medical Therapy (IMT) alone, the one year stroke rate in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis and low risk clinica...

Study of Radiation Therapy Followed by Atezolizumab in Stage II or III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy followed by atezolizumab in treating patients with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more cancer cells and have fewer side effects. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to g... Read More
