ROS1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase with constitutive kinase activity. ROS1 was previously discovered in cell lines where ROS1 fused with other proteins to act as a driver oncogene. In 2007, Rikova et al reported ROS1 fusion as driver mutations in NSCLC cell line (HCC78; SLC34A2-R…

Through the injection of Hearticellgram-AMI into acute myocardial infarction patients who are the primary targets of the drug, long term efficacy in the improvement of the left ventricle ejection fraction upon the first cell treatment is to be evaluated and compared with the curr…

This randomized phase II trial studies how well rituximab and combination chemotherapy with or without lenalidomide work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability o…

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare ovarian cancer screening, risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO). The safety of RRSO and PSDO will also be studied. Ovarian cancer screening does not invol…

The investigators hypothesize that the combination of eflornithine and sulindac will be effective in reducing a three-year event rate of adenomas and second primary colorectal cancers in patients previously treated for Stages 0 through III colon or rectal cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib and rituximab work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or has not responded to treatment or older patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by bloc…

Knowledge and management of bleeding in severe trauma has changed. A specific coagulopathy is present in 40% of cases. It has a very early onset and this coagulopathy is associated with increased mortality. It must be detected and treated early, as illustrated by the military med…

This phase II trial studies how well sirolimus and azacitidine works in treating patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or recurrent acute myeloid leukemia. Sirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used …

This Phase I/II trial studies the ability to stop brain metastases from coming back after treatment with radiosurgery followed by surgical resection. It will also evaluate the side effects of these combined treatments and help determine the best radiosurgery dose. Radiosurgery fo…
