The Prostate Cancer, Genetic Risk, and Equitable Screening Study (ProGRESS)
NCT05926102
Recruiting
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among Veterans and the second leading cause of male cancer death. Current methods of screening men for prostate cancer are inaccurate and cannot identify which men do not have prostate cancer or have low-grade cases that will not cause harm and which men have significant prostate cancer needing treatment. False-positive screening tests can result in unnecessary prostate biopsies for men who do not need them. However, new genetic testing might he... Read More

The Influence of Race and MitoQ Supplementation on Skin Blood Flow in the Cold
NCT06784531
Recruiting
Individuals who operate in cold weather are at risk of developing cold injuries, for example, frostbite. They also often experience a loss of hand function and joint mobility due to a decrease in skin temperature and blood flow. In addition, the risk of getting a cold injury is higher in the Black population compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Increases in oxidant compounds can cause the blood vessels in the skin to narrow and decrease skin temperature in the cold. However, it is unknow... Read More

A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of CH505M5 N197D mRNA-gp160 Followed by CH505 TF mRNA-gp160 in Adults in Overall Good Health Without HIV
NCT06557785
Recruiting
This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation, first-in-human (FIH) trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of CH505M5 N197D mRNA-gp160 and CH505 TF mRNA-gp160. Both products are mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (subsequently referred to as mRNA-LNPs). The primary hypotheses are: 1. the CH505M5 N197D mRNA-gp160 will expand CH235-like B cell precursors, 2. the CH505 TF mRNA-gp160 will boost CH235-like bnAb B cell precursors to acquire more functional m...

Dose-Reduced Docetaxel With Cyclophosphamide for the Treatment of Vulnerable Older Women With Stage I-III HER2 Negative Breast Cancer, the DOROTHY Trial
NCT06042569
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well dose-reduced docetaxel combined with cyclophosphamide works in treating older women with early stage (stage I-III) HER2 negative breast cancer vulnerable to toxicity. Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Docetaxel and cyclophosphamide are commonly used, but is not well tolerated at the... Read More

Testing the Role of FDG-PET/CT to Predict Response to Therapy Prior to Surgery for HER2-positive Breast Cancer, The DIRECT Trial
NCT05710328
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well an imaging procedure called fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works in predicting response to standard of care chemotherapy prior to surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage IIa-IIIc breast cancer. FDG is a radioactive tracer that is given in a vein before PET/CT imaging and helps to identify areas of active cancer. PET and CT are imaging techniques that make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside... Read More
