This is a multi-institutional, single arm, open label, Phase Ib/II study of abemaciclib in combination with elacestrant in patients with HR+/Her2- breast cancer metastatic to the brain. Patients may have received up to two prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. There will be no limit on prior use of endocrine therapy including aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen and fulvestrant, given a documented clinical benefit of elacestrant in this setting. Read Less

The investigators will perform follow-up on 250 of 500 cases recruited into the ROSE study of cases with deep and lobar intracerebral hemorrhage to perform advanced neuroimaging at 12-24 months post stroke, and evaluations of motor and cognitive function at baseline, 6 months after baseline, and 12 months after baseline to determine predictors of recovery, progressive cognitive or functional impairment. The investigators propose to leverage the recruitment, DNA, RNA-seq and baseline advanced neuroimaging cohort of ROSE to obtain long-term neuroimaging and identical assessments longitudinally to address critical questions regarding the progressive decline of patients 12 to 24 months post intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with long term cognitive follow-up to 36 months on average. This proposal would represent the largest, and longest advanced neuroimaging and RNA-sequencing evaluation after ICH to date. Read Less

This study will assess the ability of the Known Medicine platform to predict the efficacy of certain cancer drug treatments and to validate that tumor organoid drug sensitivity is representative of patient treatment outcomes. Read Less

A multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled comparison of the prodisc C SK and prodisc C Vivo to the control, a similar, legally marketed total disc replacement device in subjects with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD). Read Less

The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System. Read Less

This is a comparative effectiveness study of two pragmatic models aiming to introduce palliative care for end stage liver disease patients. The 2 comparators are: Model 1: Consultative Palliative Care (i.e. direct access to Palliative Care provider), Model 2: Trained Hepatologist- led PC intervention (i.e. a hepatologist will receive formal training to deliver Palliative Care services) Primary Outcome: The change in quality of life from baseline to 3 months post enrollment as assessed by FACT-Hep (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Hepatobiliary). 14 Clinical Centers across US are recruited to participate in this study.

The NACTN Spinal Cord Injury Registry is a network of clinical centers collecting de-identified data from patients admitted through the Emergency Department of a NACTN center at the time of injury with an initial (first time) spinal cord injury (SCI). Information will be collected on the natural history of SCI and course of treatment through the first 12 months from the date of injury or long as medically indicated. Data collected includes imaging information from CT or MRI scans, neurological and general medical outcome and rehabilitation evaluation. No intervention is given other than standard of care for spinal cord injury, intensive monitoring and frequent follow up care. Read Less

This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational intervention. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational therapy to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. Retroperitoneal sarcomas are soft tissue tumors located at the far back of the abdomen. Typically, patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas either have surgery for the removal of their tumors alone, or have their tumors removed, followed by standard radiation therapy, or have pre-operative radiation followed by surgery. When conventional radiation therapy is delivered after surgery, it can damage normal tissue. In this study, you will undergo proton beam radiation therapy or IMRT before undergoing surgery for the removal of your tumor. Proton radiation and IMRT are FDA approved radiation delivery systems. Protons are tiny particles with positive charge that can be controlled to travel a certain distance and stop inside the body. In theory, this allows better control of where the radiation dose is delivered as compared to photons. Since proton radiation is more targeted, it may help to reduce unwanted side effects from radiation. In this study, a standard dose of radiation will be given to the majority of the tumor, while a simultaneously integrated boost of additional radiation will be given to certain areas of the tumor identified as higher risk. This means that a higher radiation dose will be given to the higher risk areas of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of radiation therapy with protons or IMRT that can be delivered safely in patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas and the effectiveness of proton beam radiation therapy as an intervention for patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas.
