The purpose of this study is determine if receiving stereotactic body radiation(SBRT) when participants' metastatic tumors have just begun to grow increase the length of time before disease gets worse

This feasibility study will evaluate how well hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan works in predicting tumor aggressiveness in participants with renal tumors. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate is a non-radioactive substance with potential usage in the diagn…

This study is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, unblinded, and randomized controlled trial with a goal of evaluating the impact of a closed incision negative pressure dressing (PREVENA) on incidence of post-operative wound complications and medical costs in patients undergoin…

Intracranial stenosis is prevalent among Asians and constitute a common cause of cerebral ischemia. While the best medical therapy carries stroke recurrence rates in access of 10% per year, intracranial stenting was associated with unacceptable peri-procedural ischemic events. Ce…

The hypothesis is that pleasure brought by argentine tango practice would increase total physical activity of patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis.

Our hypothesis is that tai chi sessions would increase physical activity of patients with Spondyloarthitis. The main objective is to study the effect of tai chi sessions (16 vs.0) on global physical activity of Spondyloarthitis patients, compared to a control group without tai ch…

This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination with chemotherapy and radiation therapy work in treating patients with gastric cancer that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolu…

This phase I trial studies how well atezolizumab before and/or with standard of care chemoradiotherapy works in immune system activation in patients with stage IB2, II, IIIB, or IVA cervical cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such…

Currently there is no clinical biomarker that can be used to select patients for CCR2-targeted therapy and to monitor response to such therapy. Considering the toxicity and the rate of response to CCR2-targeted therapy, it is crucial to be able to identify patients who may not re…

This study will be done in people living with HIV to see if an investigational vaccine made from a person's own white blood cells is safe and tolerated. This study will also look at the body's immune response to the vaccine and evaluate four different methods of making the vaccin…
