Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in Louisiana

The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified vaginal fluid specimens from participants with an endometrial tissue biopsy-based histopathological diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC), endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) with atypia or endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). The samples will be used for the purpose of research and development of a new molecular diagnostic test for the detection of EC, AEH and EIN. Read Less

This study is part of the development of a non-invasive lung cancer screening test which aim to identify early-stage lung cancer in patients at high risk for lung cancer. 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 interventional study is to compare the efficacy (surgical field quality and intra-operative blood loss) or cost of TIVA alone to general inhalational anesthetics with intravenous TXA in patient participants who are undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Is the surgical field quality better when using TIVA alone compared to general inhalational anesthetics with intravenous TXA? * Is one method more financially advantageous to the participant and the institution compared to the other method? Participants will be randomized into one of the two anesthesia cohorts prior to sinus surgery. One group will be given total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) alone and the other will be given intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) followed by general inhalational anesthesia. Researchers will compare the TIVA group to the TXA group to see if one group exhibits a better surgery field viewing quality through a subjective evaluation and measurement of blood loss and also which anesthesia regimen is most cost effective upon conducting a cost analysis.
