Modern Immunotherapy in BCG-Unresponsive, BCG-Relapsing and High Risk BCG-Naive Non-Muscle Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder
Recruiting
Upon successful screening and registration, enrollment to durvalumab monotherapy (cohort 1) will begin. If DLT criteria outlined in the protocol are exceeded with durvalumab monotherapy (cohort 1), the study will close. Provided the safety of durvalumab monotherapy is established, enrollment to combination regimen cohorts will proceed. Cohorts will simultaneously enroll in parallel to each other with patients assigned to cohorts based on patient slot availability and study site choice of radiati... Read More

Beta-cell Response to Incretin Hormones in Cystic Fibrosis
Recruiting
In recent years, diabetes has emerged as one of the most significant co-diseases that many Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients develop. Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) diabetes results when either the body does not make enough insulin or the body does not respond correctly to this insulin, respectively. Insulin is a hormone which is made by cells in the pancreas and helps carry glucose (sugar) from the food we eat to the cells of the body for energy. While cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) has man... Read More

Digital Incentive Spirometry Adherence
Recruiting
This single-arm proof-of-concept research study aims to assess the effect of a digital incentive spirometer (IS) device and a companion mobile-based app on incentive spirometry adherence in patients post-surgery. The digital IS utilizes a sensor to measure inspiratory breaths, and these data are transmitted wirelessly to a secure cloud database. The spirometer and app include a patient reminder system, exercise gamification strategies, progress tracking, and additional features designed to promo... Read More

Healthy-donor Microbiome MTP-101-C in Steroid Relapse/Refractory Immune-related Cutaneous Adverse Events (irCAEs) and Immune-mediated Colitis (IMC)
Recruiting
Multiple retrospective studies suggest that the administration of corticosteroids to treat irAEs is safe, and does not compromise efficacy of ICI therapy in cancer patients. While \~67% of patients respond to corticosteroids, 33% of patients require biologic therapy such as TNFα inhibitors (e.g. infliximab), integrin α4β7 inhibitors (e.g. vedolizumab), or JAK/STAT inhibitors (e.g. tofactinib). This study aims to determine that distinct pathobionts govern the development of irCAE and IMC; and tha... Read More

Bright Light Therapy for OSA
Recruiting
Persistent daytime symptoms of sleepiness in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are associated with adverse long term medical and functional outcomes. Supplementary exposure to bright light has beneficial effects on sleep quality and daytime vigilance in healthy individuals and it has been increasingly applied in a variety of sleep and neuropsychiatric conditions. This study will explore the role of Bright Light Therapy (BLT),... Read More
