Understanding the Preferences and Views of Older Adults on the Use of Geriatric and Objective Functional Assessments for Cancer Treatment Planning.
Recruiting
This Interventional clinical study aims to explore how receiving information about their health and physical abilities affects the treatment decisions of older adults. The study will look at whether sharing detailed assessments of their health and functional status helps older adults better understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care. The main question it aims to answer is if providing this information changes the treatment priorities of older adults, helping them fo... Read More

Autoimmunity After Checkpoint Blockade
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to better understand how the treatment of cancer with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) leads to the development of autoimmunity. Specifically, we wish to understand the genetics and immune system features that cause a subset of cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy to develop an immune-related adverse event (irAE).

Single and Multiple Dose Escalation of PHIN-214 in Child-Pugh A and B Liver Cirrhotics
Recruiting
This 2-part study will evaluate PHIN-214 given as a single one-time dose (Part 1) and in multiple doses (given as daily doses for 28-days) (in Part 2). Specifically, this study evaluates PHIN-214, to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic effects of PHIN-214, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose or optimal beneficial dose in patients with Child Pugh A and B Cirrhosis.

Gastric Ultrasound in Pediatric Trauma Patients
Recruiting
Gastric ultrasound has become increasingly utilized to examine volume and quality of gastric contents in the preoperative setting to guide anesthetic management and relay risk of aspiration in both adult and pediatric medicine. Gastric fluid volumes in trauma patients are thought to be elevated due to delayed gastric emptying in the setting of an over-attenuated sympathetic response to physical pain and stress, opioid analgesia, and other associated injuries (traumatic brain). However, there is... Read More

Evaluation of 18F-Fluciclovine Positron Emission Tomography - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET-MRI) in LGG
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to see if 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin®) is useful and safe in the management of children with Low Grade Gliomas (LGG). Imaging with 18F-Fluciclovine PET-MRI will be performed prior to initiation of therapy for LGG, and then 3 months, and 1 year after starting therapy. Changes in 18F-Fluciclovine uptake will be compared to changes in MRI measurements at 3 months and 1 year as compared to baseline.
