The main questions to answer are: * Weight outcomes in weight strata over time? * What was the proportion of patients reaching sufficient weight outcome in different weight strata? * To what extent are co-morbid conditions improved or put in remission? * What is the risk of expe…

The purpose of this study is to test, customize, and personalize a mobile app-based intervention program in order to help rare and breast cancer survivors cope with fears of cancer recurrence.

The primary objective of the study is to confirm the efficacy of 60 mg of MCI-186 via intravenous drip infusion once a day in the patients with ALS based on the changes in the revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) scores after 24 weeks administration in double-blind, pla…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of acute renal graft rejection 6 months after transplantation in HIV-infected patients under three antiretroviral drugs regimen including Raltegravir.

In this study, investigators are specifically targeting Latina women as they are more likely to be inactive and, therefore, are at higher risk for developing chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. The objective of Pasos Hacia La Salud is to test…

The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine if a new emerging technology called photoacoustic tomography (PAT) can be adapted for use in humans for the detection of chronic rheumatoid arthritis.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 together with hydroxychloroquine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors, melanoma, prostate or kidney cancer. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of…

The main hypothesis being tested is that magnetic resonance imaging and serologic biomarkers of apoptosis and extracellular matrix remodeling will precede echocardiographic indices of systolic and diastolic function among childhood cancer survivors treated with anthracyclines thu…

This study aims to screen tumor molecular profile for better selection of anticancer treatment, in particular, allocation to clinical trials if available.

Background: \- Gemcitabine and carboplatin are chemotherapy drugs used to treat several types of cancer, including cancer of the pancreas, bladder, ovaries, and lung. Lenalidomide, a drug that prevents the growth of new blood vessels in tumors, has been approved for treatment of…

The goal of this study is to develop a "bedside to bench" model of clinical and biological predictors for toxicity to adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older adults with breast cancer. The investigators will develop a predictive model using clinical and biological predicto…

Background: \- Best Vitelliform Dystrophy (Best disease), Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration (L-ORD), and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) all affect the retina, the light sensing area at the back of the eye. Doctors cannot safely obtain retinal cells to study these diseases.…

The aim of this project is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the biomaterial made of HAP/TCP (BCP, Kasios®), in septoplasties of multi traumatized human nose. The use of this biomaterial will avoid the graft sampling and we expect it to be a good substitute to support the na…

A recent study by Plotkin et al. showed that bevacizumab (Avastin) treatment was followed by clinically meaningful hearing improvement, tumor-volume reduction, or both in some, but not all, patients with Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) who were at risk for complete hearing loss or bra…

The objectives of this study are: to confirm the superiority of TAU-284 over placebo after two weeks of administration to pediatric patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, and to investigate the dose response, safety, and plasma concentrations of TAU-284.

The study drug, Nilotinib, is believed to slow down tumor growth by regulating a gene involved in cellular growth of chordoma cells. During this research study, subjects will also receive radiation therapy which is considered a standard treatment for advanced chordomas. It is hop…

This research will examine the effectiveness of vitamin D or placebo (the placebo is a tablet that looks like Vitamin D study drug, but has no Vitamin D study drug in it), with and without physical activity (walking and progressive resistance exercise), in treating bone loss in w…

The aim of the study is to determine the MTD of Paclitaxel in association with metronomic Cyclophosphamide.
