This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of immunotherapy-based treatment combinations in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two cohorts will be enrolled in parallel in this study: Cohort 1 will consist of participants wit…

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and how well MUC1 peptide-Poly-ICLC vaccine works in preventing lung cancer in current and former smokers at high risk for lung cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cells…

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of irinotecan hydrochloride when given with utomilumab and cetuximab in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Monoclonal antibodies, such as utomilumab and cetux…

The primary aim of this study is to is to determine if intermittent fasting (IMF) is an effective dietary strategy for treatment of obesity. A 1 year randomized trial will be used to compare weight loss generated by IMF versus Daily Caloric Restriction (DCR). The targeted weekly …

This clinical trial tests how well cognitive behavioral cancer stress management (CBCSM) group sessions work to decrease psychological distress in cancer patients. CBCSM teaches patients how to recognize and reduce the impacts of cancer associated stress on the biological, psycho…

This phase II trial studies how well Nivolumab, Cisplatin, and Pemetrexed Disodium or Gemcitabine Hydrochloride in treating patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Nivolumab, may interfere with the abili…

Birth parents of young children who have been placed into foster care are a highly vulnerable population of caregivers. Little is known about the ability of existing prevention programs to intervene with birth parents who have recently been reunified with their children under the…

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs. PAD usually occurs in the arteries in the legs, but can affect any arteries. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries which limits t…

Locally advanced cervix cancers (stage 1B-IV) are usually treated with radiotherapy, concomitant cisplatin chemotherapy and brachytherapy. Failure to achieve locoregional control (LRC) remains a problem, especially in the setting of stage III/IV disease. More importantly, however…

Background: Stem cells are found in body tissues. They can regenerate into more of the same cells or become other types of cell. Researchers want to use stem cells from taste buds to try to make cells that secrete insulin. Taste buds are found mostly on the tip and sides of the …

This study will implement an intervention designed to promote ethnic and racial identity development. It is hypothesized that the intervention will have positive effects on ethnic-racial identity development, stress biology (including sleep hours and quality and diurnal cortisol …

Background: The adrenal gland makes the hormone aldosterone. This helps regulate blood pressure. An adrenal gland tumor that makes too much aldosterone can cause high blood pressure and low potassium. The cause of these tumors is unknown, but sometimes they are inherited. Objec…

The goal of this research is to test the accuracy of PET/MRI imaging with 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone (FFNP) for measuring progesterone receptor (PR) expression in patients with invasive breast cancer. The hypothesis is that FFNP SUVmax from PET/MRI will correlate well again…

The aim of our project is to develop an epileptic seizure detection algorithm based on the the continuous analysis of the Electrocardiogram

Apixaban and rivaroxaban have been compared to standard therapy for treatment of acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and are both approved by Health Canada. No safety or efficacy data is available from direct head-to-head compari…

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in women, with about 50% of women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime. The main pharmacological treatments of cystitis usually involve the use of antibiotics, in particular quinolones (such as c…

The scaphoid bone is the most common fractured carpal bone. Scaphoid fractures represent 2-6% of all fractures and occur mainly in young, active patients aged 15 to 40. The scaphoid bone has an essential role in functionality of the wrist, acting as a pivot. Correct treatment of …

Cisplatin, anthracyclines, bleomycin and trastuzumab can cause severe cardiovascular or pulmonary toxicity. Why some patients are susceptible to extreme toxicity of cancer treatment is largely unknown. Unraveling extreme cardiovascular toxic responses in cancer patients may help …

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving romidepsin before and after a stem cell transplant in combination with fludarabine and busulfan can help to control leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers also want to learn the highest tolerable dose of romidepsin that ca…

The investigators have developed a new technology, termed in-vivo laser capture microdissection (IVLCM), that addresses the limitations of endoscopic biopsy for screening for BE and provides targeted genomic profiling of aberrant tissue for more precise prediction of EAC risk. Th…
