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…

In western countries, melanoma represents a major mistake of public health by its frequency, lethality and the increasing of incidence. Surgery can cure melanoma diagnosed very early. In other cases, it exists a risk of recurrence of lymph node and visceral. At the stage of visce…

Background: * Traumatic brain injury may have a range of effects, from severe and permanent disability to more subtle functional and cognitive deficits that often go undetected during initial treatment. To improve treatments and therapies and to provide a uniform quality of care…

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…

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 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…

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

The purpose of this study is to test whether regulatory T-cell reduction is possible and safe in myeloma subjects undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

Background: \- BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations have been linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer and other cancers, and may be associated with types of breast cancer that are more difficult to treat and more likely to recur. New cancer treatments are being developed s…

From 1996-present, we have used photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat a number of neoplastic diseases both on prospective research protocols (for head and neck cancer, pleural malignancies, peritoneal carcinomatosis or sarcomatosis and prostate cancer) as well as for FDA approved a…

The purpose of this study is to compare normalization of vitamin D serum level after 6 months of vitamin D supplementation adjusted to baseline vitamin D serum level vs.conventional vitamin D supplementation.

This study is to observe the efficacy of the four food elimination diet.

The investigators would like to conduct a double blind placebo-controlled prospective study to show the impact of a treatment combining a specific cognitive rehabilitation program and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors on executive function of young patients 3 months after a first s…

The primary objective of this study is to compare 30-day complication rates associated with promontofixation for pelvic organ prolapse performed via a robot-assisted laparoscopic technique versus a non-robot-assisted laparoscopic technique. Secondary objectives include comparing …

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth…

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate a neuroplasticity-oriented, computer-based cognitive remediation treatment program in patients with bipolar disorder and its effects on cognitive deficits and community functioning compared to an active, computer-based control.

The investigators have shown that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in early protocol biopsies of the renal allograft predicts the progression of fibrosis during the first year post-transplantation. The investigators will develop a non-invasive approach for pred…
