With this research study has following goals * To confirm the highest tolerable dose of palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy is safe and well-tolerated. * To learn more about side effects of palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy; * To learn more about the biological effects of palbociclib on the cells in your body Read Less

This this study is for individuals who have treatment-naïve extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (small cell lung cancer that wont respond to treatment). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if combining durvalumab, carboplatin and etoposide with hyofractionated ablative radiation therapy (radiation focused on certain parts of the body) will help treat your cancer and improve how long you can live with extensive-stage small cell cancer without it getting worse (progression-free survival). Your participation in this research will last about 48 months. Durvalumab along with chemotherapy has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer along with chemotherapy. This study is testing the addition of radiation to durvalumab and chemotherapy. Read Less

This study is for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, as well as patients who have recurring glioblastoma. Subjects will be given daily paxalisib and metformin while also maintaining a ketogenic diet. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Paxalisib while maintaining a ketogenic diet (a high fat, low carbohydrate diet) and Metformin (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat type 2 diabetes), and to see what effects it has on glioblastoma.

This phase II trial tests whether regorafenib and durvalumab work to shrink tumors in patients with high-risk liver cancer. Regorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving regorafenib and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with high-risk liver cancer. Read Less

This is a pilot study on the impact of switching from cigarettes to Electronic Cigarettes (EC) on disease-related clinical symptoms and biomarkers of harm in smokers with preexisting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The researchers hypothesize that the smokers who switch to EC completely or significantly will experience reduced COPD symptoms, risks of exacerbations, and decreased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation.

Despite the relative safety of PCI with new generation stents, peri-PCI thrombotic complications, including myocardial infarction and myocardial injury, are common in elective PCI, occurring in up to 30% of patients. Importantly, these events are associated with poor prognosis. The risk of peri-PCI myocardial infarction/myocardial injury has been in part attributed to HPR. The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the accuracy of the ABCD-GENE score in identifying stable CAD patients undergoing elective PCI treated with standard of care clopidogrel who are at risk of peri-PCI myocardial infarction/myocardial injury. This investigation will be a prospective cohort study conducted in a population of patients (n=500) with stable CAD undergoing elective PCI treated with standard of care clopidogrel. By integrating genetic data with clinical variables, patients will be stratified into 2 cohorts based on their ABCD-GENE score (using a cut-off of 10). Assessments to define HPR status and myocardial infarction/myocardial injury will be performed post-PCI. Read Less

This phase I trial finds out the best dose and side effects of venetoclax and tocilizumab in treating patients with t(11;14) multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is used to treat side effects from immune therapy in patients with myeloma. Giving venetoclax and tocilizumab may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection on the short-term resolution of post-injury inflammation (biomarkers) and improvement in joint function in patients with acute ACL injury. This RCT has been powered based on the questionnaire KOOS Jr. but it is considered a 'pilot study' in terms of the lab analysis proposed. Read Less

Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) consist of a proximal cuff that wraps around the leg just below the knee, a posterior carbon fiber strut that stores and returns energy during gait, and a carbon fiber foot plate that supports the foot and allows bending of the posterior strut. The proximal cuff is a primary interface between the patient and the CDO and may influence comfort, preference, limb mechanics and loading, and effective stiffness of the CDO. The important role of the proximal cuff has not been examined. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CDO proximal cuff design on patient reported outcomes, limb mechanics and loading, and CDO mechanical characteristics. Read Less

This study will explore whether a 21-minute meditation practice called Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya leads to changes in brain health and explore how it affects cognitive and physiological function. Read Less

This study is designed to advance the promising yet underutilized research on retrieval practice by evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of two key retrieval practice features (feedback and spacing). The study uses four single case adapted alternating treatments studies, each with four 5- to 8-year-old children who are deaf and hard of hearing to evaluate the effects of feedback and spacing on the efficiency of word learning and retention.

The purpose of this investigator-initiated randomized control trial is to determine whether oral Nifedipine versus oral Labetalol is superior in controlling high blood pressures in the postpartum period. Read Less
