Mobile Manual Standing Wheelchair for SCI
Recruiting
People with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are particularly prone to complications from excessive sitting, because many are not able to stand without support. Excessive sitting after SCI is believed to contribute to pressure injuries, pain, osteoporosis, joint stiffness, spasticity, and worsening bowel and bladder function. The VA has developed, patented, and licensed a mobile manual standing wheelchair (MMSW), and the investigators believe the key feature of being able to wheel around while in a st... Read More

International Ovarian & Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry
Recruiting
Rare tumors are understudied, yet have the potential to shed light on vast areas of cancer research. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, rare tumors of childhood and young adulthood, have recently been found to be associated with a lung cancer of early childhood called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). The cause of these ovarian tumors is unknown. DICER1 mutations are seen in the majority of children with PPB. Research shows DICER1 mutations are also seen in some patients with ovarian tumors. Like PP... Read More

Voice Analysis for Monitoring Patients With Heart Failure
Recruiting
This observational study involves ADHF patients at two sites in the United States and Germany. After informed consent and screening assessments, participants will perform daily voice recordings during their hospital stay, from admission until discharge. Alongside voice data, additional clinical information such as left ventricular ejection fraction, NTpro-BNP levels, and ECG-data will be collected for comprehensive analysis. The study's goal is to identify voice-based indicators of heart failure... Read More

Role of Acetaldehyde in the Development of Oral Cancer
Recruiting
This is a minimal risk intervention study where healthy volunteers and individuals with Fanconi anemia will consume a single dose of alcohol and provide primarily non-invasive biological samples at various time points. Biospecimens to be collected include saliva, oral cells collected via mouthwash and cheek brush, and urine. The collection of two blood samples (5 mL each) will be optional and banked for future use.

Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
Recruiting
The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) will investigate the long-term effects of cancer and its associated therapies. A retrospective cohort study will be conducted through a multi-institutional collaboration, which will involve the identification and active follow-up of a cohort of approximately 50,000 survivors of cancer, diagnosed before 21 years of age, between 1970 and 1999 and 10,000 sibling controls. This project will study children and young adults exposed to specific therapeutic mod... Read More

Impact of Improving Footwear Options
Recruiting
Veterans with leg amputations have limited footwear options because their artificial feet do not change shapes for different shoes. Studies have shown that women with amputations receive more frequent prosthetics care than men, but are less satisfied with the fit, comfort, and appearance of their prostheses. The investigators' previous research indicates that women Veterans would like to be able to wear a broader variety of footwear, and those who perceive more footwear limitations tend to have...

An Observational Study of the T3 Pro Dental Implant System
Recruiting
A prospective, observational, multicenter study where 60 patients needing implants in the maxilla or mandible will be enrolled. The patients will be restored with a final prosthesis no later than 4 months following implant placement surgery. The patients will come back for follow-up evaluations yearly for 2 years.

Abemaciclib in Treating Patients With Surgically Resectable, Chemotherapy Resistant, Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well abemaciclib works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable) and does not respond to treatment with chemotherapy alone, or in combination with pembrolizumab. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

A Study to Compare the Administration of Encorafenib + Binimetinib + Nivolumab Versus Ipilimumab + Nivolumab in BRAF-V600 Mutant Melanoma With Brain Metastases
Recruiting
This phase II trial compares the effect of encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab versus ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with BRAF- V600 mutant melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial aims to find out which approach... Read More
