This trial studies the screening of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers. Learning the relationship between HPV and cancer risk in men who test positive for HPV antibodies or circulating HPV DNA may help doctors to develop early methods of scree…

Scientific basis: Globally, vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies. The only relevant source of vitamin B12 is animal-source foods and poor gut function may decrease absorption. Vitamin B12 is crucial for normal cell division and differentiati…

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with stage IV EGFR mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Sapanise…

The ADCHIP study (ST0067) is a non-interventional, monocentric, prospective study conducted by Amoneta Diagnostics and the Leenaards Memory Center (Lausanne, Switzerland). Its main objective is to develop and validate a microfluidic chip-based protocol that stabilizes human red b…

The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects the study drug atezolizumab has on the cancer when combined with the standard chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and cisplatin (or GC) in two different dosing schedules: chemotherapy (GC) before atezolizumab vs. GC afte…

This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well palbociclib (PD-0332991) works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. Palbociclib (PD-0332991) is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is used in patients whose cancer has a certain m…

Parkinson's disease (PD) has been classically regarded as a "movement disorder", so earlier work has focused on treating motor symptoms only. As PD patients now have longer life expectancy, the relatively slowly progressing cognitive deficits (compared to their motor deficits) ha…

This pilot phase II trial studies how well rituximab and latent membrane protein (LMP)-specific T-cells work in treating pediatric solid organ recipients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive, cluster of differentiation (CD)20-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Rit…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TPV in patients with pulmonary valve dysfunction.

This study is a pilot study to evaluate high-dose conformal radiation therapy (HDCRT) administered in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors.

Studies evaluating lifestyle intervention in obese women during pregnancy have reported limited success in decreasing excessive gestational weight gain, and have failed to achieve the key outcome of breaking the obesity cycle and reducing neonatal adiposity or birth weight. Altho…

Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder affecting 0.5 to 2% of the general population. It is an acquired pigmentary disorder of the skin and mucous membranes that is characterized by circumscribed, depigmented macules and patches. Apremilast is a phosphosdiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibit…

The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of MR screening for asymptomatic head \& neck (or CNS) second primary cancers occurring in hereditary retinoblastoma patients previously treated by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

This phase II trial studies how well poziotinib works in treating patients with non-small lung cancer with an EGFR or HER2 exon 20 mutation that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Poziotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell…

Investigators are testing new experimental drug combinations such as the combination of vorinostat, vincristine, irinotecan, and temozolomide in the hopes of finding a drug that may be effective against tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. T…

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of this treatment combination of paclitaxel and trametinib. Additionally, this study aims to to find out what effects the combination of paclitaxel and trametinib has on the shrinkage and growth of anaplastic thyroi…

The purpose of this study is to test if an investigational dye, called PARPi-FL, can be used to detect this type of cancer. This will be the first time that PARPi-FL is being tried in people. First, the investigators will test the safety of PARPi-FL at different doses to find out…

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether an artificial intelligence system called GliomaAI-MG can help detect a specific molecular type of brain tumour called molecular glioblastoma using routine MRI scans. The study uses previously collected and fully anonymised …

Aim: To evaluate dolutegravir (DTG) pharmacokinetics in pregnant HIV-infected women Rationale: In developing countries many women present with a new HIV diagnosis in late pregnancy, and are at high risk of transmitting infection during delivery. Moreover, women may acquire NNRTI…

Rare diseases are conditions affecting a small number of people, requiring specific and often multidisciplinary medical care. There are over 7,000 rare diseases, around 80% of which are genetic in origin. These diseases are generally severe, chronic and progressive, and can consi…
