This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading. Read Less

This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score. Read Less

The CONNECT-TBI Trial aims to develop safe, effective treatments for complex mTBI that improve cognitive functioning. Based on the compelling preliminary data generated by our study team, the objective of this study is to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled Phase II clinical trial of APT-3 combined with rTMS, HD-tDCS, or sham to treat cognitive control deficits in Veterans with complex mTBI and PPCS. At the Baseline Visit, participants will undergo demographic, neuropsychological, behavioral, and quality of life testing. They will also undergo structural MRI to permit modeling of their brain, resting/task-related fMRI to identify the CCN, and pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to assess for other pathologies. They will then be randomized to 16 sessions of APT-3 with concurrent rTMS, HD-tDCS, or sham stimulation delivered to the unique functional left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a primary node of the CCN. Lastly, they will repeat all baseline tests, and report on 3- and 6-month recovery levels to establish longevity and stability of subjective benefit. Given that this individualization protocol has never been attempted for cognitive rehabilitation in military mTBI, we expect this trial will generate useful effect sizes for HD-tDCS and rTMS to be used for powering the next step, a Phase III multi-center trial.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy works compared with observation in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Read Less

An open-label, single-arm, clinical research study about how to make transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an FDA-approved treatment, more effective for patients with late-life depression using fMRI. Read Less

21 healthy control participants will be recruited. On Day 1 they will complete reward-guided decision making tasks and questionnaires followed by a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan. On Days 2 and 3 they will receive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting a specific part of the brain called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) or sham stimulation, and will then repeat a subset of the same decision making tasks and fMRI sequences. If brain stimulation modifies decision making and dACC activity, it could represent a novel way of treating patients with neural circuit deficits that impede motivated behavior. Of particular relevance to the current trial, this rTMS study will run in parallel with a study of apathy (i.e., diminished motivation) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), with the goal of eventually leading to a patient-centered trial of rTMS treatment for this disruptive neuropsychiatric symptom.

The aim of this proposal is to demonstrate that stimulation of different brain regions differently affects the electroencephalographic feature known as the Reward Positivity (RewP). Read Less

This clinical trial studies engagement strategies for recruiting American Indians (AI) of Southwestern Tribal Nations for cancer genome sequencing. American Indians in the Southwest have higher rates of some types of cancer, such as cancers that arise in the liver, kidney, breast, and colon. American Indians with cancer may also live for less time than people from other population groups who have been treated for the same cancer. Damage to the cells of the body, acquired as people live, grow older, and are exposed to the environment, causes genetic changes in cells that can lead to cancer. This study may help researchers learn how these genetic changes in cells cause cancer and understand how and why cancer is arising in American Indians in the Southwest. This may help better prevent and treat cancer in the future. Read Less

A feasibility study to evaluate the usability of the REVEAL 475 system in patients treated with bevonescein for nerve visualization during surgery. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness and safety of the study drugs (VS-6766 and defactinib), and see what effects (good and bad) these drugs have on the patients with endometrioid cancer, mucinous ovarian cancer, high-grade serous ovarian cancer, or cervical cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess whether hemodynamic support with an Impella-based treatment strategy initiated prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)-Cardiogenic Shock (CS) improves survival and functional outcomes compared to a non-Impella-based treatment strategy.
