Detection of miRNAs in HPA Axis Function in Healthy Subjects
Terminated
The proposed study will test dexamethasone effect on miRNA profile in healthy humans. As our data indicate that miRNA levels change over time, the investigators will study the time course of miRNA response to 1 mg IV dexamethasone within 60 minutes after injection. Dexamethasone is used routinely in human subjects for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of excess cortisol secretion (Cushing's syndrome). For the latter, 1 mg dexamethasone is given o... Read More

the Analgesic Duration of Dexmedetomidine Compared to Dexamethasone as Adjuncts to Single Shot Interscalene Block
Completed
The purpose of the study is to determine if perineural dexmedetomidine can provide increased prolongation of analgesia when compared to perineural dexamethasone in patients receiving regional block for shoulder surgery. If so, dexmedetomidine may serve as a superior adjunct to peripheral nerve blocks in a rapidly evolving, ambulatory-centered surgical setting.

PEGPH20 Plus Nab-Paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine Compared With Nab-Paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine in Participants With Stage IV Untreated Pancreatic Cancer
Completed
This study is designed to compare the treatment effect of PEGPH20 combined with nab-paclitaxel (NAB) and gemcitabine (GEM) \[PAG\] to NAB and GEM \[AG\] in participants with Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The study will have 2 run-in phases, one for each formulation of PEGPH20 (original and new formulations), and a Phase 2 portion. The 2 run-in phases will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the PAG treatment using the original and new succinic acid PE... Read More

Comparative Study of Superficial Cervical Plexus Block and Nerve of Arnold Block and Incidence of PONV for Inner Ear Surgery
Terminated
The investigators would like to compare the therapeutic and cost effectiveness of established therapies for postoperative nausea and vomiting to regional nerve blocks of the head and neck area an intervention known for analgesia but for which the antiemetic effects hasn't been entirely explored. The rational is based on the knowledge of the anatomical innervation of the inner ear and the role of the parasympathetic nervous system in the emetic act. A lot of focus has been given on its counterpa... Read More

Ixazomib, ONC201, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Terminated
ONC201 is a novel dopamine receptor D2 antagonist that is able to activate the integrated stress response pathway. It is active against multiple myeloma cells in vitro, both as a single agent and in combination with corticosteroids and proteasome inhibitors. In order to document superiority over the combination compared to the individual agents of ixazomib and ONC201 in a single arm study, there will initially be a run-in period of weekly ONC201 625 mg with dexamethasone 40 mg such that if there...

Personalized Kinase Inhibitor Therapy Combined With Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Completed
This phase IB trial studies the feasibility of using a functional laboratory based study to determine how well the test can be used to select personalized kinase inhibitor therapy in combination with standard chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It also evaluates safety and potential efficacy. Kinase inhibitor is a type of substance that blocks an enzyme called a kinase. Human cells have many different kinase... Read More

Combination Plerixafor (AMD3100)and Bortezomib in Relapsed or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Completed
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of plerixafor and bortezomib, and the highest dose that can be given to people safely. Plerixafor appears to stop myeloma cells from attaching to bone marrow and has been used in other phase I studies for mobilization of stem cells for patients with myeloma and lymphoma. We have shown that the combination of plerixafor and bortezomib is very effective in killing myeloma cells in the laboratory more than the effect of each drug alone.
