Over 1.5 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH). Global STH guidelines recommend MDA (mass drug administration) of albendazole or mebendazole to targeted populations, including pre-school age children and school-age children. However mathematical models…

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with and without ipilimumab and radiation therapy when given before surgery works in treating patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or dedifferentiated liposarcoma that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoc…

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combining immune therapy, pembrolizumab, with a hypomethylating agent, azacitidine, for pancreatic cancer. People who have advanced pancreatic cancer with disease progression on first-line therapy are usually treated …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 8.5% of the general population in Hong Kong. Systemic embolization, and particularly stroke, is the most frequent major complication of atrial fibrillation. Long-term oral anticoagulation is recommended for most…

This randomized phase II trial studies how well systematic random biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound image (US) fusion biopsy work in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients with elevated prostate specific antigen. Systematic random biopsy and MRI-US fusion biop…

P1108 was a Phase I/II, open-label, single-arm, exposure-controlled dose finding study of BDQ in infants, children, and adolescents living with and without HIV, with clinically diagnosed or bacteriologically confirmed rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB). The study was designe…

This trial develops a contextually tailored and optimized smoking cessation intervention and studies smoking motivations and motivations to quit smoking in homeless youth. Identifying motivations for smoking and motivations to quit smoking may help researchers build a program to …

This is a phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of cevostamab administered as a single agent by IV infusion to participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM).

In this study HCV negative recipients will be transplanted with HCV positive lungs. Investigators will attempt to decrease infectivity rates by performing Normothermic Ex vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP), which is an approved method of donor lung preservation, assessment and treatment,…

The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a breast MRI biopsy to accurately diagnose a complete tumor response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) that the patient just finished. Numerous studies have shown that MRI has the highest accuracy for diagnosing a complete t…

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vesicular stomatitis virus-human interferon beta-sodium iodide symporter (VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS) with or without ruxolitinib phosphate in treating patients with stage IV endometrial cancer or endometrial cancer that has come…

The hypothesis of this research protocol is that we will be able to redesign the manner in which lower limb amputations are performed so as to include biological actuators that will enable the successful employment of next generation lower extremity prostheses. The specific aims …

This is a prospective data collection of men who are electing to undergo prostate hemi-gland cryoablation. The purpose of this observational research study is to investigate the localized treatment of prostate cancer using hemi-gland cryoablation. UCLA patients undergoing hemi-…

This research study is studying a drug combination as a possible treatment for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: * Alectinib * Cobimetinib

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact on progression-free survival (PFS) with the combination carboplatin - pembrolizumab in patients with CTC (circulating tumor cells) positive, HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with anthracyclines and taxane…

The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the combination of study drugs called NKTR-214 and nivolumab.

The purpose of this two-part study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple intra-articular (i.a.) injections of LNA043, in regenerating the articular surface in patients with cartilage lesions of the knee (Part A) and knee osteoarthritis (Part B).

This randomized phase II trial includes a blood stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor to treat blood cancer. The treatment also includes chemotherapy drugs, but in lower doses than conventional (standard) stem cell transplants. The researchers will compare two different dr…

This trial will evaluate the use of immunotherapy and PARP inhibition in a population with incurable advanced breast cancer associated with a germline BRCA mutation or HDR-defect. The main objective is to examine overall response rate of pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) in combinati…

Identification of Causes and Risk Factors for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest through Development of Prediction Model and Novel Biomarkers Study Objectives: 1. To identify causes and risk factors of OHCA incidence that are associated with chronic diseases and health behaviors 2.…
