Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Followed by Niraparib for Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal and Fallopian Tube Cancer
Recruiting
Patients will be registered prior to, during or at the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 3-4 cycles). Registered patients who progress during neoadjuvant chemotherapy will not be eligible for iCRS and will be removed from the study.

Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has a MET Exon 14 Skipping Gene Change (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
Recruiting
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tepotinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called MET. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking t... Read More

Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Increased Copies of the MET Gene (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
Recruiting
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests how well amivantamab-subcutaneous (SC) works in treating patients patients with MET amplification non-small cell lung cancer. Amivantamab-SC is a drug that reduces extra copies of the MET gene, a change present in your tumor. Giving amivantamab-SC may lower the chance of the growth or spread of advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has extra copies of the MET gene in the tumor.

Addressing Neuromuscular Deficits for Improved Outcomes in Ankle Rehabilitation
Recruiting
The purpose of this project is to compare a novel sensorimotor ankle rehabilitation training (SMART) protocol for Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) against a standard of care (SOC) protocol to determine if it is more successful at producing successful one-year outcomes and lower rates of re-injury and improved health. This will address the identified needs for evidence-support and reintegration strategies to improve understanding of the management of patient rehabilitation strategies throughout the r... Read More

The Effects of Sex Hormones and Alcohol on Sleep
Recruiting
Rates of heavy drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) are increasing in women, but research on alcohol-related harms in women - including alcohol's impact on sleep - has been minimal. Numerous studies in men show that alcohol impairs sleep, and preliminary evidence suggests that women may be even more sensitive to alcohol-disrupted sleep due to their sex hormones, which fluctuate across both their menstrual cycles and their reproductive lifespans. This study will investigate the influence of s... Read More
