A phase Ib trial study of trabectedin when prescribed in combination with durvalumab in locally advanced/unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma and ovarian carcinomas.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesias (PCD) are rare, autosomal recessive respiratory diseases, due to a defect in mucociliary clearance linked to abnormalities in the structure and/or function of the cilia. The variety of ciliary abnormalities identified reflects the genetic heterogeneity…

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give pembrolizumab after radiation therapy in treating patients with pleural malignant mesothelioma. Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antib…

Corneal ectasia is characterized by irregularity and thinning of the cornea, causing the cornea to bulge forward and cause distorted vision and impaired visual acuity. Corneal ectasia is a complication after refractive (LASIK) surgery. It is also the primary problem in keratoconu…

The results of this study will optimize the care for patients with a meniscus root tear. Surgeons will be able to determine if MRR (meniscus root repair) with transtibial pullout technique is an effective treatment and will identify potential risk factors for poor clinical outcom…

Many prostate cancer are slow or non progressive forms that would never impair quality or quantity of like of life if undetected. For this localized prostate cancer, the recommendation is an active surveillance, however often experienced by the patient as a lack of care. Thus the…

The purpose of the study is to find out the effects of using nivolumab with Drug Eluting Bead Transarterial Chemoembolization (deb-TACE) in the treatment of liver cancer.

The objective of this cross-sectional study is to assess the prevalence of depression at 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year postpartum in women who had an immediate postpartum hemorrhage (immediate PPH defined as blood loss ≥ 500 mL within 24 hours of delivery). The potential serious…

Dyspnoe can disable patients with asthma. Dysfunctional breathing (DB), resulting in dyspnoe, can mimic or exaggerate asthma. Around every forth patient with asthma have DB. Breathing exercises (BrEX) can improve asthma-related quality of live (QOL) in less severe asthma. No stud…

The purpose of this study is to establish the highest dose of laser light for WST-11 VTP to treat obstruction from esophageal cancer that can be safely given.

The aim of the current study is to assess the efficacy of TMS in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). It is hypothesized that participants who receive TMS (Group 1) relative to sham treatment (Group 2) once daily for two days will demonstrate a greater improvem…

This study seeks to uncover potential genetic determinants of pulmonary embolism (PE). Our translational goal is to ultimately identify certain genetic markers that will allow us to stratify patients in terms of their PE risk post total knee or total hip arthroplasty. The clinica…

Women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) have debilitating urinary frequency and urgency, and chronic pelvic or bladder pain perceived to be related to the bladder. Although many clinicians think that IC/BPS symptoms result from a bladder problem, tight pel…

Objectives: Primary Aim: Examine the feasibility of a dyadic yoga program in 40 Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) and their family caregivers. Secondary Aims: 1\. Establish the initial efficacy of the yoga program in patients and their caregiver…

This research study is studying a pair of immunotherapies as a possible treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma. The drugs involved in this study are: * Durvalumab * Tremelimumab

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of Bumetanide , at different doses to find out what effects, if any, it has on people who undergo tumor TAE as part of their regular care. Bumetanide is a commonly used medication to reduce the amount of water in the body.

The study assesses the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ACZ885 (canakinumab) in pediatric and young adult patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA).

1. Study Objectives * To evaluate the effect of various clinical variables including HLA-disparity and NK cell-related variables, upon outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using uniform conditioning regimen including busulfan, fludarabine, and antit…
