Patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) are primarily treated with radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy however 5-year survival rates are \<60% with significant treatment toxicity. Hypoxia is a well-known radioresistant component of solid tumours such as cervical cancer an…

This project will use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to guide the development of optimized treatment strategies for the two most effective smoking cessation medications (Combination Nicotine Replacement \[C-NRT\] and varenicline). The investigators will recruit daily…

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and everolimus in treating pediatric and young adult patients with gliomas that have come back (recurrent). Trametinib acts by targeting a protein in cells called MEK and disrupting tumor growth. Everolimus i…

The investigators want to test the hypothesis that a total period of 12 months of stepwise open egg introduction is not inferior when compared to a total period of 20 months gradual open egg introduction of a certain egg product with regard to full egg tolerance induction.

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a daily single oral dose of tasimelteon and matching placebo in male and female participants with DSWPD.

A randomized clinical study in NAS infants managed via the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) approach comparing early weight loss on a standard-caloric density versus high-caloric density feeding regimen.

In the US, the burden of very low birth weight (VLBW; \<1500 g) birth is borne disproportionately by black (non-Hispanic black/African American) mothers who are 2.2-2.6 times more likely than nonblack mothers to deliver VLBW infants. This disparity is amplified because black VLBW…

Based on the development of new tools, including drug coated balloon, paclitaxel eluting stent, interwoven stents, debulking tools, more challenging femoropopliteal arterial lesions have been treated with endovascular procedures. The TASC D lesion ,especially with popliteal arte…

The goal of this study is to explore and evaluate whether a 2-dose schedule of Gardasil 9 among young and mid-adult women 16-45 years of age is generally safe and immunogenic, with an antibody response that is not inferior to that observed of a 3-dose schedule of Gardasil 9 among…
