Biomarker Platform (Virtual Nodule Clinic) for the Management of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules
Recruiting
This clinical trial studies whether a biomarker platform, the Virtual Nodule Clinic, can be used for the management of lung (pulmonary) nodules that are not clearly non-cancerous (benign) or clearly cancerous (malignant) (indeterminate pulmonary nodules \[IPNs\]). The management of IPNs is based on estimating the likelihood that the observed nodule is malignant. Many things, such as age, smoking history, and current symptoms, are considered when making a prediction of the likelihood of malignanc... Read More

Cryodevitalization for the Treatment of Early Stage Lung Cancer, CRYSTAL Trial
Recruiting
This clinical trial studies side effects and best treatment time of cryodevitalization in treating patients with early stage (stage I or stage II) lung cancer. Cryodevitalization is a type of cryosurgery that uses a flexible probe (cryoprobe) to kill tumor cells by freezing them. It is delivered at the time of standard diagnostic robotic bronchoscopy. Using cryodevitalization may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with early stage lung cancer.

EBUS-TBNA vs Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy for Adequacy of Next Generation Sequencing
Recruiting
This is a multi-center clinical trial evaluating the effect of transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy for its ability to improve the likelihood of obtaining tissue sufficient for molecular analysis. Patients in outpatient clinics or pre-operative holding areas planning to undergo a bronchoscopic biopsy of a suspected malignant lesion (peripheral or mediastinal) for initial diagnosis, staging, or tissue acquisition for molecular analysis will be considered for enrollment and consented. Patients wi... Read More

The ACES Study for Aseptic Pleural Effusion
Recruiting
The study will enroll recurrent aseptic pleural effusion patients who are designated by their physician as needing treatment to control the fluid. Baseline assessment will include a history and physical, chest imaging and quality of life questionnaires. After ACES implantation, patients will remain under hospital care for general observation as per standard-of-care before being discharged home with access to electronic diaries for tracking pain and dyspnea.

The Effect of SGLT2 Inhibition on Adipose Inflammation and Endothelial Function
Recruiting
Obesity is associated with increased cardiometabolic disease risk due, in part, to heightened chronic inflammation arising from adipose tissue. There are no current targeted therapies to prevent or reverse the chronic inflammation of obesity, and a better understanding of these inflammatory pathways in humans is key to future therapeutic interventions. This trial will determine both the anti-inflammatory potential of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin, and the contribution of adipose inflammation... Read More

Observational Study of Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases: The CARRA Registry
Recruiting
Continuation of the CARRA Registry as described in the protocol will support data collection on patients with pediatric-onset rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry will form the basis for future CARRA studies. In particular, this observational registry will be used to answer pressing questions about therapeutics used to treat pediatric rheumatic diseases, including safety questions.

Testing Pump Chemotherapy in Addition to Standard of Care Chemotherapy Versus Standard of Care Chemotherapy Alone for Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: The PUMP Trial
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) (pump chemotherapy) in addition to standard of care chemotherapy versus standard of care chemotherapy alone in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). HAI uses a catheter to carry a tumor-killing chemotherapy drug called floxuridine directly into the liver. HAI is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in metas...

Comparison of Chemotherapy Before and After Surgery Versus After Surgery Alone for the Treatment of Gallbladder Cancer
Recruiting
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III gallbladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the exten... Read More
