Ramucirumab and Trifluridine/Tipiracil or Paclitaxel for the Treatment of Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and trifluridine/tipiracil or paclitaxel in treating patients with previously treated gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Ramucirumab may damage tumor cells by targeting new blood vessel formation. Trifluridine/tipiracil is a chemotherapy pill and that may damage tumor cells by damaging their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Paclitaxel may block cell growth by stop... Read More

Functional CT Assessment of Pulmonary Arterial Dysfunction in Smoking Associated Emphysema
Recruiting
This study will use dual energy x-ray computed tomography (DECT) to evaluate the relationship between heterogeneous perfusion, hypoxia (low oxygen in inspired gas) and induction of pulmonary vascular dilatation to characterize emphysema susceptibility in a normal smoking population. The investigators will correlate DECT measures of perfusion with lung injury measured by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The investigators will study the effect of pulmonary arterial vasodilation... Read More

Persistence of Glaucoma Patients With Web-Browser-Based Visual Field Test
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess patient persistence and adherence with a 6-month period of at-home visual field testing, using a novel web-based visual field test (EyeSimplify, M&S Technologies, Niles, IL). The main questions this clinical trials aims to answer are: How adherent patients are to biweekly testing at home for 6 months, and How patients feel the ease of user experience of the test was, and Whether the EyeSimplify platform is able to detect any worsening of glaucoma-re...

Cell Free DNA in Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Recruiting
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause that can affect any organ in the body, including the heart. Granulomatous myocarditis can lead to ventricular dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias causing significant morbidity and mortality. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) has been shown to reverse active myocarditis and preserve left ventricular (LV) function and in some cases improve LV function. In addition, IST can suppress arrhythmias that develop due to active myocardi... Read More
