Prospective Study of Colon Serrated Polyps
NCT02332785
Recruiting
With this study, the investigators plan to review the clinical, epidemiology, pathology, and endoscopic features of colon serrated lesions as well as outcome of endoscopic resection of these lesions. The findings will help us define the natural history of colon serrated lesions, develop techniques for endoscopic management of patients with serrated lesions, and identity areas for improvement. The data will be used for continuing quality improvement and presenting our outcomes at academic meeting... Read More

HSV-tk + Valacyclovir Therapy in Combination With Brachytherapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer
NCT01913106
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to conduct a Phase I - II clinical trial to extend preclinical studies involving in situ HSV-tk + Valacyclovir gene therapy in combination with brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer. This will provide a novel therapeutic approach to prostate cancer and hopefully impact on the development of metastatic disease and the control of preexisting metastasis.
