Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Varenicline, the nicotine patch, and nicotine gum help people stop smoking. It is not yet known whether varenicline is more effective than the nicotine patch given together with nicotine gum in helping smokers quit smoking.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying varenicline to see how well it works compared with the nicotine patch given together with nicotine gum in helping smokers in a methadone treatment program stop smoking.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* To determine whether varenicline, a nicotine receptor partial agonist, leads to a higher rate of smoking cessation than combination nicotine replacement therapy with nicotine patch prescription plus ad libitum nicotine gum delivery in methadone-maintained smokers.
Secondary
* To test the effects of the treatments on smoking urges, withdrawal symptoms, and reinforcing effects of smoking.
* To test the effects of the treatments on methadone treatment outcomes, including retention in methadone maintenance, methadone dose changes, and continued use of illicit drugs as measured by urine toxicologies.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified based on gender and level of nicotine dependence. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 intervention arms.
At baseline, all patients receive a minimal behavioral intervention using a 3-minute, simple smoking cessation counseling strategy, a self-help manual, and a telephone quit-line number.
* Arm I (varenicline): Patients receive oral varenicline once daily on days 1-3 and twice daily thereafter for a total of 6 months or when a comfortable level of smoking abstinence is reached.
* Arm II (placebo): Patients receive oral varenicline placebo once daily on days 1-3 and twice daily thereafter for a total of 6 months or when a comfortable level of smoking abstinence is reached.
* Arm III (nicotine patch/gum): Patients receive a nicotine patch, with doses tapering over time for a total of 26 weeks. Patients also receive nicotine gum to quell breakthrough urges. Patients may stop treatment when a comfortable level of smoking abstinence is reached.
Patients complete a brief interview over 10-15 minutes at 2 weeks and monthly during months 1-5. They complete a longer interview over 45 minutes at months 6 and 12 and provide breath samples (for carbon monoxide monitoring) and urine samples (for cotinine testing).
NOTE: Smoking cessation may prevent certain smoking-related illnesses, including cancer.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 602 patients (258 receiving varenicline, 258 receiving nicotine replacement therapy, and 86 receiving placebo) will be accrued for this study.

Brief Summary
One factor that limits the effectiveness of adjuvant hormone therapy for breast cancer is medication nonadherence. Adherence to long-term medication regimens requires valuation of temporally distant outcomes. Thus, interventions that improve valuation of the future, a phenomenon known as delay discounting, may improve medication adherence in breast cancer treatment and improve survival. This study will investigate the acute efficacy of a prospective thinking intervention (episodic future thinking) for reducing delay discounting and improving valuation of future health in breast cancer patients. Patients will engage in either episodic future thinking or a control condition during completion of delay discounting tasks in which they choose between immediate and delayed outcomes.
Detailed Description
Globally, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women. The most common pathological subtype is hormone receptor positive breast cancer, which accounts for approximately 70% of all diagnoses. Adherence to adjuvant hormone therapy (HT), including selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors, in the treatment of hormone responsive breast cancer decreases risk of recurrence and increases overall survival among women. Unfortunately, up to half of patients discontinue HT prematurely or administer HT less frequently than prescribed, which increases risk of disease recurrence and associated mortality. Understanding the mechanisms underlying nonadherence will allow for development of targeted interventions to improve breast cancer survival.
A defining characteristic of adjuvant HT is that it provides no short-term benefits and, instead, prevents disease recurrence only after years of sustained adherence. In contrast, the benefits of discontinuing HT are relatively immediate (e.g., avoidance of adverse side effects, such as hot flashes or arthralgia). Thus, adherence to HT requires one's behavior to be guided by temporally distant outcomes, as bias toward immediate gratification narrows the temporal window over which future costs and benefits can motivate behavior. Therefore, treatment adherence may be understood through the behavioral economic process of delay discounting (i.e. devaluation of delayed outcomes), which provides a measure of how individuals value the future. Accumulating evidence shows that delay discounting is associated with a wide variety of maladaptive health behaviors, including failure to seek routine medical screening for cancer and other illnesses. However, no work has yet examined associations between delay discounting and adherence to cancer treatment, generally, or breast cancer treatment, specifically. This gap in knowledge represents a challenge to the understanding of risk factors for cancer-related morbidity and mortality and may limit the efficacy of breast cancer treatment.
Accordingly, the present study will investigate the acute efficacy of an episodic future thinking (EFT) intervention for reducing discounting and improving valuation of future health in breast cancer patients. EFT is a form of prospection that involves mental simulation of events that might occur in one's future. To some extent, EFT is an innate human ability that guides decision-making (e.g., simulating the experience of an upcoming job interview or social event); however, populations who discount the future rapidly show deficits in this ability, considering the future infrequently and demonstrating low-quality EFT content (e.g., fewer contextual and sensory details). Thus, EFT interventions are designed to remediate this deficit and reduce bias toward immediate gratification by guiding individuals to both generate high-quality EFT content and prompting them to engage in EFT frequently. Prior laboratory-based research by the investigative team and others has shown that EFT both reduces delay discounting and improves a wide range of maladaptive health behaviors and outcomes contributing to the development of cancer and survival following diagnosis and treatment, including tobacco use and dietary and weight control. The present study seeks to extend these findings by demonstrating that EFT improves laboratory-based measures of delay discounting and valuation of future health in breast cancer patients. Demonstrating EFT's acute efficacy in the laboratory would suggest that EFT may be adapted in future grant proposals as a targeted, remotely delivered intervention to improve HT adherence and subsequent breast cancer survival.

Brief Summary
In december 2019, SARS-CoV2 and its clinical manifestations, COVID-19, appeared in China and caused a pandemic. It led decision makers to prioritize emergency and intensive care dedicated to infection management. Other conditions, such as cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, may have been delayed during the containment period. Consequences of this 'distraction effect' are being.
Detailed Description
Quantitative monthly data were analyzed from January 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020 in two French tertiary care center (University Hospital and Godinot Cancer Institute in Reims) and in a third center in the French epicenter (Colmar hospital). Oncologic activity indicators were extracted using oncologic electronic file, International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and nation-wide procedure codes (CCAM). The monthly number of different steps of oncology care pathway (screening, diagnosis and treatment) were collected: faecal immunochemical testing (FIT), mammography, histopathological and biomolecular/genetics analysis, nuclear medicine imaging, oncogeriatric evaluations, multidisciplinary tumor board meetings and files reviewed by meeting including first presentations, given personalized care program, medical announcement and reformulation nursing consultations, inserted central venous catheters, chemotherapy prepared and administered in chemotherapy day care, carcinologic surgeries and radiotherapy courses.

Brief Summary
Imnovid in combination with dexamethasone is indicated in the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior treatment regimens, including both lenalidomide (Revlimid) and bortezomib (Velcade), and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.
Patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone combination, considered to be the multiple myeloma optimal treatment, can access to pomalidomide under marketing authorization only as from third line of treatment.
In France this combination is not authorized for marketing for a first line treatment and only patient randomized in the IFM/DFCI 2009 trial received it.
This study concerns patients previously randomized in the IFM/DFCI 2009 trial who have received bortezomib, lenalidomide and Dexamethasone combination in first line, which at progression/relapse time therapeutic opportunities remained limited and who cannot access pomalidomide under marketing authorization.
This study is a multicentre, phase 2, open label, study testing the triple combination of pomalidomide and cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (PCD) in multiple myeloma patients who are refractory or in first progression/relapse after a first line treatment with bortezomib and lenalidomide, an IMiDs (an Immuno Modulatory Drug and a proteasome inhibitor) according to the IFM/DFCI 2009 trial.
In the IFM/DFCI trial, patients in arm A received eight cycles of the Velcade-Revlimid-Dexamethasone combination followed by 1 year of lenalidomide maintenance, patients in arm B received 3 cycles of Velcade-Revlimid-Dexamethasone combination plus melphalan 200mg/m2 with an autologous transplantation followed by 2 cycles of Velcade-Revlimid-Dexamethasone combination consolidation and 1 year of lenalidomide maintenance.
This study will contain 3 treatment phases:
* Study treatment phase:
All patients will receive 4 cycles (28 days) of pomalidomide-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone combination.
* Consolidation phase (depends on the initial randomization in the IFM/DFCI 2009 trial):
* For patients previously randomized in IFM/DFCI 2009's arm A:
* Melphalan 200 mg/m2 followed by Autologous Transplantation
* Three months after, 2 cycles of pomalidomide-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone combination
* For patients previously randomized in IFM/DFCI 2009's arm B:
* 5 cycles of pomalidomide-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone combination
* Maintenance phase (identical to all patients) subsequent cycles of pomalidomide and Dexamethasone until progression / relapse or discontinuation for any other reason.
For arm B patients, in case relapse occurs at least 12 months after the end of the maintenance IFM/DFCI 2009 trial, they could proceed to a second autologous transplantation and therefore follow the arm A procedure. The decision to proceed to a second transplant will be made by the physician and the patient.
In order to have the same amount of patients enrolled in this trial in the initial Arm A and Arm B of the IFM/DFCI 2009 trial, once 50 patients have been included in either arm A or B, subsequent patients will be eligible if they have not been initially treated as the first 50 patients from either arm.
The primary endpoint is the response rate (Partial Response (PR) or better) after 4 cycles of the triple combination pomalidomide and cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (PCD) in the studied population using International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria.

* Able to take antithrombotic medicines such as low molecular weight heparin or aspirin.
* Subjects affiliated with an appropriate social security system
* Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking study drug therapy and for at least 28 days following discontinuation of study drug therapy
* Agree not to share study medication with another person and to return all unused study drug to the investigator
* Female subjects of childbearing potential (*) must:
* Understand the potential teratogenic risk to the unborn child
* Understand the need and agree to use, and be able to comply with, two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual contact during the following time periods related to this study:
1. for at least 28 days before starting study drug;
2. while participating in the study;
3. dose interruptions; and
4. for at least 28 days after study treatment discontinuation.
The two methods of reliable contraception must include one highly effective method and one additional effective (barrier) method. Females of childbearing potential must be referred to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods if needed. The following are examples of highly effective and additional effective methods of contraception:
* Highly effective methods:
* Intrauterine device (IUD)
* Hormonal (birth control pills, injections, implants)
* Tubal ligation
* Partner's vasectomy
* Additional effective methods:
* Male condom
* Diaphragm
* Cervical Cap
Because of the increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with multiple myeloma taking pomalidomide and cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, combined oral contraceptive pills are not recommended. If a female subject is currently using combined oral contraception the patient should switch to another one of the highly effective methods listed above. The risk of venous thromboembolism continues for 4 <= age <= 6 weeks after discontinuing combined oral contraception. The efficacy of contraceptive steroids may be reduced during co-treatment with dexamethasone.
Implants and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices are associated with an increased risk of infection at the time of insertion and irregular vaginal bleeding. Prophylactic antibiotics should be considered particularly in patients with neutropenia.
o Agree to have pregnancy testing based on the frequency outlined below.
Medically supervised pregnancy tests with a minimum sensitivity of 25 mIU/ml must be performed for females of childbearing potential, including females of childbearing potential who commit to complete abstinence:
* Before starting study drug: females of childbearing potential must have two negative pregnancy tests prior to starting study drug. The first pregnancy test must be performed within 10 <= age <= 14 days prior to the start of study drug and the second pregnancy test must be performed within 24 hours prior to the start of study drug. The patient may not receive study drug until the study doctor has verified that the results of these pregnancy tests are negative.
* During study participation and for 28 days following study drug discontinuation:
Females of childbearing potential with regular or no menstrual cycles must agree to have pregnancy tests weekly for the first 28 days of study participation and then every 28 days while on study, at study discontinuation, and at day 28 following study drug discontinuation.
If menstrual cycles are irregular, the pregnancy testing must occur weekly for the first 28 days and then every 14 days while on study, at study discontinuation, and at days 14 and 28 following study drug discontinuation.
*Criteria for women of childbearing potential: This protocol defines a female of childbearing potential as a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
* Male subjects must:
* Practice complete abstinence or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose interruptions and for at least 28 days following study drug discontinuation, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.
* Agree not to donate semen or sperm during study drug therapy and for at least 28 days following discontinuation of study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any other uncontrolled medical condition or comorbidity that might interfere with subject's participation
* Primary amyloidosis or myeloma complicated by amyloidosis
* Pregnant or breast feeding females
* Use of any other experimental drug or therapy within 2 weeks before study treatment initiation (except local radiotherapy and/or corticosteroid until dose of dexamethasone 160mg)
* Known positive for HIV or Active infectious hepatitis, type B or C
* Patients with non-secretory MM

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, cisplatin, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimens to see how they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III bladder cancer that was removed by surgery.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* To estimate the rate of distant metastasis at 3 years in patients who have undergone transurethral resection of the bladder tumor for stage II or III muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy comprising fluorouracil, cisplatin, and radiotherapy vs gemcitabine hydrochloride and radiotherapy followed by selective bladder preservation and adjuvant chemotherapy comprising gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin.
Secondary
* To estimate the treatment completion rate in these patients.
* To estimate acute and late grade toxicities (≥ grade 3 genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and hematologic toxicities) of these regimens in these patients.
* To estimate the efficacy of these regimens, in terms of achieving complete response of the primary tumor, in these patients.
* To estimate the efficacy of these regimens, in terms of preserving the native, tumor-free bladder 5 years after completion of therapy, in these patients.
* To estimate the value of tumor histopathologic, molecular genetic, DNA content, metabolomic, and proteomic parameters as possible significant prognostic factors for initial tumor response and recurrence-free survival.
* To analyze for American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom scores at baseline and at 3 years from patients on both arms.
* To find potentially predictive biomarkers for cystectomy-free survival.
* To find potentially predictive biomarkers for acute and late toxicities.

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to:
1. Test the efficacy of psychosocial telephone counseling (PTC) for cervical cancer survivors, compared to usual care.
2. Evaluate the longitudinal immune and neuroendocrine parameters in cervical cancer patients who have received PTC, compared to usual care.
3. Examine the longitudinal relationship between PTC associated modulations of quality of life (QOL) measures and biologic parameters (immune and neuroendocrine).
Detailed Description
The incidence and mortality rates for invasive cervical cancer in minority, low-income, and less educated women exceeds that for white, higher income, and better educated women. In southern California the incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer are nearly twice that of non-Latina white women. Our preliminary work supports and extends the extant literature, noting that quality of life can be significantly disrupted among cervical cancer survivors, with qualitative differences in how Latina women experience cancer survivorship. However, there is a paucity of literature on interventions designed to assist cervical cancer survivors manage illness-specific stress and improve health behaviors. Our current NIH-funded work suggests that a six session psychosocial telephone counseling (PTC) intervention can improve QOL and decrease psychological distress, with accompanying intervention-induced neuroendocrine and immune parameter modulations which may be related to disease endpoints. In primary support of these significant biobehavioral findings, the project herein proposes to accomplish the following Specific Aims:
1. Test the efficacy of PTC for cervical cancer survivors, compared to usual care.
2. Evaluate the longitudinal immune and neuroendocrine parameters in cervical cancer patients who have received PTC, compared to usual care.
3. Examine the longitudinal relationship between PTC associated modulations of QOL measures and biologic parameters (immune and neuroendocrine).
To achieve these aims the investigators will randomize patients ascertained through the two SEER cancer registries to PTC (N=125) or usual care (N=125), stratifying on English or Spanish language preference. Assessments will occur at baseline (9-20 months post diagnosis), and three and nine months post enrollment/baseline. Assessments will include evaluation of QOL (overall QOL, psychological distress, coping, social support, sexual functioning), health behaviors, neuroendocrine parameters dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, growth hormone \[DHEA-S, cortisol, GH\] and immunologic parameters (natural killers \[NK\] cell activity, IL-5, interferon, human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 peptides, IL-15, IL 10). This project has significant public health relevance for an important unstudied cancer survivor population, many of whom are poor and underserved. If effective, an intervention which could improve quality of life (QOL) and health behaviors, and enhance neuroendocrine and immune responses for women with cervical cancer could have significant implications toward disease recurrence or survival.

Brief Summary
Fatigue, reduced quality of life and declines in physical function are common in patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Studies in other cancer patients undergoing treatment have shown that exercise improves these symptoms, but there are limited studies in AML. This study of a hospital-based exercise program will help determine if exercise is both feasible and helpful in improving symptoms among for AML patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Background: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a life-threatening haematological malignancy. Initial treatment with induction chemotherapy requires 4-5 weeks of hospitalization, with a risk of physical deconditioning, declines in quality of life (QOL), and significant fatigue. Four pilot exercise studies have demonstrated improved fitness, strength, QOL, and fatigue in patients undergoing induction, but are limited by small sample sizes, recruitment of mostly younger adults, inconsistent endpoints, and design issues. Prior to conducting a large multi-centre randomized controlled trial (RCT), important pilot work first needs to be done to demonstrate feasibility of a randomized trial of an exercise program in AML patients undergoing induction chemotherapy; to ensure safety; and to provide effect estimates of the intervention on fitness and QOL/fatigue endpoints.
Objectives: Primary objectives are: (1) to determine feasibility of recruitment and retention of adult AML patients to a randomized trial of supervised exercise and ability of patients to perform an exercise intervention in hospital; (2) to provide estimates of the effect of exercise on fitness parameters. Secondary objectives are: (1) to determine effects of exercise on QOL and fatigue; (2) to understand the impact of exercise on AML treatment tolerability; (3) to examine safety of the exercise intervention. Methods: Thirty-five patients age 18 or older with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML who are undergoing induction chemotherapy will be recruited at Princess Margaret Hospital. Participants will perform 30-45 minutes of supervised aerobic and resistance exercises 4-5 days per week. Primary outcomes are recruitment rate, exercise adherence rate, and impact on fitness measures (peak aerobic capacity (VO2peak), grip strength, leg strength, 6-minute walk test). QOL will be measured with the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core 30-item questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Fatigue will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy fatigue subscale (FACT-Fatigue). Treatment tolerability outcomes include length of stay, intensive care unit admission, and the development of sepsis. Outcomes over time will be assessed using mixed effects regression models.
Significance: Exercise is a promising intervention for improving fitness, QOL and treatment tolerability in AML patients undergoing induction chemotherapy. This pilot RCT will establish feasibility and safety, as well as provide efficacy estimates that will be vital to the design and conduct of a definitive multi-centre RCT of exercise in this patient population.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Loncastuximab Tesirine (ADCT-402) in patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study of the efficacy and safety of loncastuximab tesirine used as monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. The study will enroll approximately 140 patients
Loncastuximab Tesirine is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized antibody directed against human cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19), stochastically conjugated through a cathepsin-cleavable linker to SG3199, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer cytotoxin. Loncastuximab tesirine has been designed to target and kill CD19-expressing malignant B-cells.
A 2-stage design will be used in this clinical study, with an interim analysis for futility on the first 52 patients. If ≥10 patients respond (CR+PR), the study will proceed to complete full enrollment. Enrollment will continue during the interim analysis; however, further enrollment will be halted if futility is confirmed.
For each patient, the study will include a Screening Period (of up to 28 days), a Treatment Period (cycles of 3 weeks), and a Follow-up Period (approximately every 12 week visits for up to 3 years after treatment discontinuation).
Patients may continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other discontinuation criteria, whichever occurs first.

Brief Summary
CT-100 is a platform that provides an interactive, software based therapeutic component that may be used as part of a multimodal treatment in supplementary or standalone prescription or nonprescription software-based digital therapeutics (PDT/DTx), being developed by Click Therapeutics, Inc.
Detailed Description
CT-100 is a platform that provides an interactive, software based therapeutic component (CT-100-001) that may be used as part of a multimodal treatment in future prescription or non-prescription software-based digital therapeutics (PDT/DTx). CT-100-001 contains a class of Digital Neuro-activation and Modulation (DiNaMo) component. This DiNaMo component targets key neural systems (including, but not limited to, systems related to cognitive control, sensory-, perceptual-, affective-, pain-, attention-, social-, and self-processing) to optimally improve patients' cognitive and mental health. The CT-100-001 DiNaMo component is designed to improve cognitive impairments and mood challenges.
The purpose of the proposed basket study is to evaluate the initial effects of the CT-100-001, a DiNaMo component (the Study App) on cognitive functioning and related outcomes compared to Care-As-Usual across several non-DSM-5 indications.

Brief Summary
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are prevalent among prostate cancer patients. Having an elevated insulin level in the blood is associated with a shorter median time to cancer progression and median overall survival in patients with an elevated PSA after prior treatment. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with drugs like bicalutamide is frequently used in this patient population,with no proven benefit, which may increase mortality and morbidity.This study evaluates how metformin in combination with bicalutamide affects prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
1 Cycle = 28 days = 4 weeks. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis ӿ Metformin starting dose is 500 mg BID, will be gradually increased to target dose of 1000mg BID.
Treatment ARM A Cycles 1 - 2: Observation without treatment Cycles 3 - 8: Bicalutamide 50 mg daily, orally, continuously to the end of study (week 32).
Treatment ARM B Cycles 1 - 2: In order to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort, metformin dosing will be ramped up over a period of 2 weeks. Metformin treatment will be started at 500 mg BID (Dose Level -2) and increased by an increment of 500 mg daily every week +/- 2 days provided no grade 2 or higher gastrointestinal toxicity is noted. If grade 2 or greater gastrointestinal toxicity occurs during the first 4 weeks of treatment, the subject will be evaluated every 2 weeks until resolution of toxicity to grade 0 or 1 and, then, the metformin dose will be increased to the next dose level. The target dose of metformin is 1000 mg BID.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of a ABI-007 that can be given with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil without causing intolerable side effects in patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
Detailed Description
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is the 9th most common malignancy diagnosed in Canadians. In the year 2007, there was an estimated 4,350 new cases diagnosed in Canada, with approximately 1,600 deaths attributable to HNSCC\[Canadian Cancer Statistics 2007\]. In the United States there is an annual incidence of approximately 40,000 newly diagnosed cases of head and neck cancer \[US Cancer Statistics 2006\]. Primary treatment for newly diagnosed localized (stage I-II) HNSCC is surgery and/or radiotherapy. The majority of patients (70%) however present with locally advanced HNSCC (Stage III or IV). Treatment of locally advanced HNSCC generally consists of either concurrent chemotherapy and radiation or surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiation or adjuvant concurrent chemotherapy and radiation. Unfortunately despite aggressive treatment with combined modality therapies approximately 40-50% of cases recur, with the majority recurring at the primary site and/or regional nodes. Except for a small minority of patients in whom salvage surgery or radiotherapy can be delivered, the prognosis for the majority of these patients is poor and further treatment is generally considered palliative.
#Intervention
- DRUG : ABI-007
- Dose escalation beginning with ABI-007 75 mg/m2 day 1 + day 8, Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 day 1, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m2/d continuous infusion x 96 hours on day 1-4, for 3 weeks x 3 cycles.

Brief Summary
Primary, this study aims to develop and validate a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for the characterization of colorectal polyps.
Second, this study evaluates the effect of using a clinical classification model Blue Light Imaging Adenoma Serrated International (BASIC) on the diagnostic accuracy of the optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps compared to intuitive optical diagnosis for both expert endoscopists and novices.
Detailed Description
Optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps, the in-vivo characterization of the histology by endoscopists, is of increasing interest for clinical endoscopy practice. Recent studies have shown that thresholds for optical diagnosis are met in highly selected groups of expert endoscopists, but the same is not true in community endoscopy practices. In order to improve optical diagnosis, imaging enhancement techniques and the use of artificial intelligence are proposed.
This observational study developes a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system to differentiate between benign and (pre-)malignant CRPs, using state-of-the-art machine learning methods and deep learning architectures. For the development, HDWL and BLI images are used. The CADx is trained using histology as gold standard. The CADx is externally validated using on a set of 60 colorectal polyps. This study will evaluate if the optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps can be improved with the aid of CADx.
In addition, both expert endoscopists and novices optically diagnose the colorectal polyps. In the first, pre-training phase, endoscopists optically diagnose colorectal polyps based on intuition. Afterwards, in the post-training phase, the same set of colorectal polyps is optically diagnosed based on a clinical classification system; BLI Adenoma Serrated International Classification (BASIC). This study will evaluate if the optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps can be improved with the aid of BASIC in both expert and non-expert hands.

Brief Summary
The AML18 Pilot Trial will evaluate the feasibility of three interventions that are planned to be included in the forthcoming NCRI AML18 Trial. One intervention will be to evaluate combining the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor AC220 with three courses of standard DAE (Daunorubicin, Ara-C, Etoposide). AC220 will be given following each treatment course, daily by mouth for 7, 14 or 21 days. AC220 will be evaluated at 3 dose levels of 60, 90 and 135 mg flat dose. A 4th dose level of 40 mg will be introduced should patients not respond well to 60 mg. The second intervention to be tested is the combination of the CXCR4 inhibitor Plerixafor with up to three courses of the chemotherapy combination of DClo (Daunorubicin, Clofarabine). Patients/investigators will be able to choose which intervention to enter. Depending on recruitment requirements, only one intervention might be available at any one time. The third intervention Patients will receive 3 treatments of 100 mg of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.
Detailed Description
The AML18 Pilot Trial is available to any patient who has primary or secondary AML as defined by the WHO Classification (Appendix A) (excluding Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia), or high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (i.e. \> 10% marrow blasts) who is not considered suitable for the current NCRI trial for younger patients (MRC AML 17). This trial has the primary aim of assessing the feasibility of three treatments that are planned for the forthcoming NCRI AML18 Trial. The first is the feasibility of adding AC220, given sequentially initially for 7 days, to three courses of standard chemotherapy. AC220 will be assessed at up to three daily dose levels: - 60mg/day, 90mg/day, 135 mg/day and also, if required, at 40mg/day. The protocol will also assess in a separate study cohort the feasibility of combining the CXCR4 inhibitor, Plerixafor, at a fixed dose in combination with up to three courses of chemotherapy. The third intervention patients will receive 3 treatments of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
Therapeutic Interventions for AC220 Assessment:
Patients will enter one of 3 dose level cohorts either 60mg/day, 90mg/day or 135mg/day with the provision to assess 40mg/day if required. Each cohort will receive three courses of chemotherapy approximately 4 to 5 weeks apart, which will comprise DAE ( Daunorubicin, Ara-C, Etoposide) over 10 days (Course 1) , DAE over 8 days (Course 2) and DA (Daunorubicin, Ara-C) over 5 days (Course 3). Two days after the last day of chemotherapy patients will receive the AC220 orally, daily for 7 consecutive days. Formal safety and pharmaco-kinetic assessments will be undertaken on day 1, 7 and 14 of each course of AC220, and interim toxicities will also be required to be reported. Sufficient patients must enter each AC220 dose level cohort to ensure that at least 3 patients are evaluable for all three courses. Cohort 2 (i.e.60mg/day for 14 days) can open to recruitment after a minimum of 3 evaluable patients have completed course 1. Cohort 3 (40mg/day dose level for either 7/14 days) will be undertaken if cohort 1 or 2 are unsuccessful i.e. fail to satisfy the safety criteria.
It is anticipated that the 'study dose' will be established from the experience of cohorts 1 to 5. Cohort 6 ('study dose') will receive AC220 for 21 days after each chemotherapy course. In this cohort there must be a minimum of a 10 days break between the end of the AC220 course and the start of the subsequent chemotherapy course.
Therapeutic Interventions for Plerixafor Assessment:
The aim is to assess the feasibility of combining a fixed dose (240mcg/kg) of Plerixafor given on each day of chemotherapy for up to 3 courses, and if so to combine this with G-CSF in courses 2 and 3. The three chemotherapy courses will be Daunorubicin/Clofarabine (DClo) for courses 1 \& 2 and Daunorubicin/Ara-C (DA) for course 3. Each course will last 5 days and Plerixafor will be given for 5 days.
Cohort 1 will receive three courses of chemotherapy with Plerixafor in course 1 only. Cohort 2 will receive three courses with Plerixafor in course 1 and 2. Cohort 3 will receive chemotherapy with Plerixafor in all three courses. Cohort 4 will be the same as cohort 3 but they will also receive G-CSF in course 2 and 3.
Therapeutic Interventions for Ganetespib Assessment:
There will be one feasibility cohort of 10 evaluable patients who require to be evaluable after 30 days after the first course, where day 1 is the first day of chemotherapy. Patients will receive 3 treatments of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.

Brief Summary
A phase I/ II, open label study to assess the efficacy and safety of ABTL0812 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with advanced endometrial cancer or squamous NSCLC.
Detailed Description
This is a phase I/II multicenter divided in two phases.
Phase I: Safety and dose escalation
This study is not randomized, and all included patients will receive ABTL0812 in addition to paclitaxel + carboplatin (SOC). In this phase, patients can be selected from both indications, regardless of the number of each indication.
This phase will be divided in 2 periods:
Period 1:
A dose de-escalation phase will be performed with a 3 + 3 design, in which up to four different ABTL0812 dose levels will be tested in combination with SOC. Then, 12 patients will be included in an expansion phase. All patients will receive one week of ABTL0812 alone followed by ABTL0812 + SOC (up to 8 SOC cycles) as combined treatment.
Period 2:
After the finalization of the SOC cycles, ABTL0812 will be taken as single therapy, at 1300 mg tid, up to 12 months from initiation of period 1. This is the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) as monotherapy for ABTL0812 determined in the previous phase I clinical trial.
Phase II: Efficacy and safety
This phase of the study will include up to 33 patients per indication (up to 66 patients overall). The final number will depend on the number of patients included in the phase I. The number of patients selected per indication will depend on the number already selected in phase I, as it is necessary to compensate both indications to have a final number of 40 patients per indication approximately.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of single agent BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162 in advanced NSCLC patients carrying specific molecular alterations.
There is a great unmet medical need in NSCLC patients with advanced or metastatic disease. Novel approaches using targeted therapeutic agents for these patient populations with molecular characterization could potentially identify subsets of advanced NSCLC patients who would benefit from targeted kinase inhibition. Study treatments, BYL719, INC280, LDK378 and MEK162, which target PIK3CA, c-MET, ALK/ROS1 and MEK respectively, have shown promising data in either preclinical or clinical lung cancer settings.
Detailed Description
To enter the screening phase of the study, the subjects' molecular alterations were determined using locally validated methodologies from a newly obtained tumor sample (preferred) or the most recent archival tumor sample available. Based on the molecular alterations of the tumor, subjects were assigned to one of the treatment arms. Subjects with multiple molecular alterations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the relevant pathways were excluded, except under the conditions described in Inclusion criteria.
The treatment period began on Cycle 1 Day 1 and continued in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, death or the subject transferred to another Novartis study that could continue to provide the study drug.
All subjects were required to be followed up for 30 days for safety after receiving the last dose of study treatment. Subjects who discontinued study treatment for any reason other than disease progression were followed up for progression of disease. All subjects were required to be followed for survival. For subjects transferred to another Novartis study, an end of treatment visit (EOT) was required to be performed and the subject would not enter the follow-up period.

Brief Summary
This is a single center, single arm unblinded prospective study of the safety of pancreatic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with unresectable, borderline resectable, or recurrent pancreatic/periampullary cancers who have previously undergone treatment with chemotherapy, surgery, photodynamic therapy, conventionally fractionated radiation treatment, or any combination of these therapies.
Primary Objective
• To estimate rates of acute (within 3 months of treatment) grade 3 or greater gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicity in patients treated with Linac-based SBRT for pancreatic or periampullary cancers who have previously received other treatment.
Secondary Objectives
* To estimate rates of late (\> 3 months after treatment) grade 2 gastritis, enteritis, fistula, and ulcer, or any other grade 3 or greater gastrointestinal toxicity in patients treated with Linac-based SBRT for pancreatic or periampullary cancers
* To estimate rates of local progression, overall survival, metastasis-free survival, and progression-free survival in patients with pancreatic or periampullary cancers treated with fractionated Linac-based SBRT.
* To evaluate the ability of Linac-based SBRT to provide pain control in patients with pain related to a pancreatic or periampullary tumor.
* To evaluate quality of life in patients undergoing treatment with Linac-based SBRT for pancreatic or periampullary cancers.
Detailed Description
Patients will receive 5 fractions of 5 gray (Gy) or 6.6 Gy delivered over a five-day period based on whether or not they have received prior radiation therapy to the pancreatic region. Treatment may be delivered over 2 weeks, provided that the patient receives at least 2 fractions per week. Initial patient positioning will be based on volumetric kV (cone-beam computerized tomography) imaging with shifts to bony anatomy as appropriate. Orthogonal kV/MV or kV/kV projection imaging will be used to verify the location of the fiducials prior to delivery of the first treatment beam. A secondary shift based on the location of fiducials may be utilized, as indicated by the position of the fiducials. For free-breathing treatments, kV fluoroscopic images should be obtained to confirm the anticipated position of these fiducials during the entire respiratory cycle. Active monitoring of treatment delivery accuracy will be accomplished using kV and/or MV projection imaging, either immediately before or during all (or a subset of) treatment fields. Patient-specific dosimetric quality assurance (QA) will be performed as per standard practice in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Indiana University School of Medicine.

Brief Summary
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile, safety, and efficacy of LifePearl™ microspheres loaded with Doxorubicin in the treatment of unresectable HCC.
Detailed Description
This is a multicentre, prospective dose escalation/PK study, designed to assess the clinical performance of LifePearl™ beads loaded with Doxorubicin in the primary treatment of unresectable HCC by chemoembolization. Data from this study will be used as supportive data post CE-mark approval.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of LifePearl™ beads loaded with Doxorubicin in the treatment of patients with unresectable liver cancer (HCC) by chemoembolization. This will be measured as treatment-related complications and plasma levels of Doxorubicin in peripheral blood.
In addition, objective tumour response will be assessed by computed tomography or MRI.
Two cohorts of patients will be evaluated:
Cohort I to assess safety (dose escalation) and pharmacokinetic profile; Cohort II will assess pharmacokinetic profile, safety and efficacy with the doxorubicin dose determined with Cohort I.
#Intervention
- DEVICE : Chemoembolization
- First, an angiography of the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery and hepatic artery will be obtained by using a peripheral arterial approach.
Arterial embolization will be performed through catheterization of intrahepatic arteries, as selectively as possible (tumor feeders, subsegmental, segmental). The size of the microcatheter must be consistent with the size of LifePearl beads used. Microspheres of 200 µm will be be used. They will be loaded with the appropriate dose of doxorubicin injectable solution, mixed with the contrast media and distributed according to the location of the HCC lesions. The endpoint of the procedure will be achieved end when stasis of the feeders is achieved and confirmed with angiography of the whole liver.
- Other Names :
- Chemoembolization with LifePearl™ loaded with Doxorubicine
- OTHER : Pharmacokinetics
- Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed in cohort I and II after the first treatment only. In addition to blood samples taken for biochemistry and haematology analysis, blood will be taken for pharmacokinetic assessment: Whole venous blood samples (6 ml in 2 tubes) will be taken from peripheral blood into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes prior to and at 5mins, 20mins, 40mins, 1h, 2h, 6h, 24h, 48h and 7 days after the procedure, and if needed (i.e. value at d7 is detectable) at 1 month (for safety assessment visit) either during hospital stay or in the outpatient clinic. | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in male cancer globally and ranked third in Hong Kong. While androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the backbone treatment for advanced prostate cancer, it could lead to obesity, metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular mortality. Previous studies showed that ADT patients have different gut microbiome compared to non-ADT patients and the gut microbiome might be related to the metabolic changes. However, the underlying mechanism of these metabolic complications is still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship and related mechanism between the changes in gut microbiomes and ADT-related metabolic change in prostate cancer patients.
Detailed Description
It is a prospective longitudinal observational human study. Fifty prostate cancer patients planned for ADT will be recruited. Fecal sample will be collected before initiation of ADT, and then at 3 and 6 months after initiation of ADT. Anthropometric, blood metabolic parameters, serum inflammation markers and panels of microbiome metabolites will be measured at these timepoints. Changes in gut microbiome from baseline to 6 months after initiation of ADT will be assessed. Correlation of changes in gut microbiome and metabolic changes, as well as inflammation and microbiome metabolites, will be assessed and possible mechanisms will be explored.
| #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male subject with age 45 or above
* Histological diagnosis of prostate cancer (acinar type)
* Clinically decided for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as treatment for prostate cancer
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of diabetes
* Patients that have other active treatment for prostate cancer or other cancers (except ADT)
* Patients received treatment, either surgical or medical, that could lead to decrease in serum testosterone prior to commencement of ADT
* Patients will be started on other treatments, including chemotherapy, new generation of androgen-receptor targeted agents, radiotherapy etc, within 6 months of the commencement of ADT.
* Subject with recent antibiotics usage within 3 months.

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Photopheresis treats the patient's blood with drugs and ultraviolet light outside the body and kills the white blood cells. Giving photopheresis, pentostatin, and radiation therapy before a donor bone marrow or stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving pentostatin before transplant and cyclosporine or mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pentostatin together with photopheresis and total-body irradiation work before donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the complete response rate in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes treated with reduced-intensity allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, including photopheresis, total body irradiation, and pentostatin.
* Determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the engraftment rate of donor cells in patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the extent and duration of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a single-arm, two-stage, multicenter phase II study.
* Preparative Regimen: Patients undergo photopheresis using methoxsalen on days -7 and -6 and receive pentostatin intravenously (IV )continuously on days -5 and -4. Total body irradiation is administered on days -3 and -2 for a total of 3 doses.
* Transplantation: Allogeneic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells are infused on day 0.
* Acute graft-vs-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV on days -1 to 30 and then orally every 12 hours. Cyclosporine dose is then tapered beginning after day 50 and continuing for 6 months in the absence of GVHD. Once cyclosporine dose is significantly decreased, oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is then administered twice a day. MMF dose is then tapered for 12 months in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1 and 3.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 33 patients would be accrued for this study within 2.1 years.

Brief Summary
This study is designed to compare progression-free survival (PFS) from randomization among patients randomized on the BMT CTN 1302 protocol, 'Multicenter Phase II, Double-blind Placebo Controlled Trial of Maintenance Ixazomib after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for High Risk Multiple Myeloma'. It is hypothesized that Ixazomib maintenance therapy will result in improved PFS in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) compared to placebo.
Detailed Description
The study is designed as a Phase II, multi-center double-blind trial that randomizes patients with high risk Multiple Myeloma to Ixazomib maintenance or placebo 60-120 days after allogeneic HSCT. The primary objective of this randomized trial is to compare progression free survival from randomization as a time to event endpoint between patients randomized to Ixazomib maintenance or placebo. Secondary objectives are to describe for each treatment arm: rates of grade II-IV and III-IV Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD, best disease response rates, disease progression, transplant related mortality, overall survival, rates of Grade ≥ 3 toxicity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0, incidence of infections, and health-related quality of life.
#Intervention
- PROCEDURE : Allogeneic HSCT
- Eligible patients with a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-matched related or unrelated donor will undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant at Day 0. For GVHD prophylaxis, patients will be given Tacrolimus from Day -3 until at least 6 months following initiation, at an intravenous daily dose of 0.015 mg/kg. This will be combined with an intravenous administration of Methotrexate at 5 mg/m2 on Days +1, +3, +6, and +11.
- Other Names :
- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant
- DRUG : Fludarabine
- Patients will receive conditioning treatment before and after HSCT. Fludarabine will be given at 30 mg/m2 intravenously on Day -6 through Day -3.

- Bortezomib will be administered at 1.3 mg/m2 intravenously on Day -3.
- Other Names :
- Velcade®
- DRUG : Ixazomib
- Between 60 and 120 days following HSCT, patients randomized to the experimental arm will receive Ixazomib maintenance. Maintenance will begin at 3-mg oral doses on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. This will increase to 4-mg doses on the same cycle schedule, following successful completion of 3 cycles at the previous dosage, for a total of 12 cycles.
- Other Names :
- MLN9708, Ninlaro
- DRUG : Placebo
- Between 60 and 120 days following HSCT, patients randomized to the control group will be given 3 mg of placebo orally on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. This will increase to 4-mg doses on the same cycle schedule following successful completion of 3 cycles of placebo maintenance at the 3-mg dose. This will continue for a total of 12 cycles.

Brief Summary
Symptoms are common among patients with advanced malignancy undergoing treatment, and yet often go unrecognized by treatment providers. In addition to contributing to morbidity, poorly controlled symptoms drive emergency room utilization and hospital admission in this population, representing significant cost to patients, families, and the health care system. Systematic collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has been proposed as a way to arm providers with the information necessary to intervene early, intensify symptom management, and improve symptom control. Recent research suggests that a standardized, web-based program of weekly patient-reported symptom monitoring leads to improved health-related quality of life and reduced acute care utilization; it may also prolong overall survival. Despite mounting evidence supporting its use among oncology patients, systematic PRO collection is lacking at most cancer centers, and optimal models for collection of PROs are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to evaluate prospectively the feasibility of a novel mobile phone-based intervention of weekly symptom reporting, among patients undergoing treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Brief Summary
In Paris, France, home hospice care for terminally ill patients is organized by four 'palliative care networks'. These networks are responsible for information sharing and coordination of all health care professionals working with the patient. Two different systems are in place to ensure continuity of care outside working hours, in such a setting. In the first system, palliative care specialists from the network are reachable over the phone 24/7 by the patient or its caregivers, whenever needed. In the second system, medical information about the patient, regularly updated by the network's medical team, is available to professionals via a secure website, so that in case the patient requires an urgent medical home visit outside working hours, the visiting physician has access to accurate information.
The study's goal is to compare patient's and caregiver's satisfaction between these two systems of continuity of care.
For that purpose, patients will be taken care of as usual by every palliative care network. In every instance where the patient or caregivers have reached out for medical help through the network's continuity of care system, the patient or caregiver will be called 5 days later by the investigation team to go through a satisfaction questionnaire (Likert scales)

Brief Summary
The purpose of the PAL trial is to increase the understanding of the experiences of long-term breast cancer survivors.
Study hypothesis: Strength training will not increase the rate of lymphedema or worsen lymphedema as compared to the non-exercising control participants.
Detailed Description
The proposed study will recruit 288 healthy breast cancer survivors (1-15 years post diagnosis, currently free of cancer), in two strata: 144 BrCa survivors with stable lymphedema (defined in section D.2.), and 144 without lymphedema. The women with lymphedema will be 1-15 years post diagnosis. The women without lymphedema will be 1-5 years post diagnosis. The difference in timing is due to the timing of the onset of lymphedema. Because 90% of all lymphedema cases are likely to occur by 5 years post treatment, it would be of greater value to evaluate the safety of strength training for women without lymphedema during the time frame when lymphedema is most likely to develop.
Randomization will be balanced by timing since diagnosis and other factors. Participants will be randomly assigned within lymphedema strata, to the exercise intervention group or the control group. Participants will be recruited in groups (a total of 8 waves) and randomized to either a strength-training group or control group. All outcome measurements will occur at baseline and 12 months later; additionally, all participants will undergo arm volumetry circumference measures, and a subset of arm function tests (range of motion, pain, grip strength) every 3 months.
Protection and safety of all participants All participants will be given access to trained lymphedema specialists throughout study participation, paid for by the study, for evaluation and treatment of lymphedema. Participants without lymphedema will all participate in an educational session led by Dr. Schmitz and co-developed by Ms. Benson and Ms. Oatman to ensure all participants enter the study with a clear understanding of lymphedema.
Each participant with lymphedema will undergo a clinical evaluation to review lymphedema related measures and to assess current management strategies as part of the baseline and 12-month measurement visits. The protocol to standardize the content of these evaluation sessions will be developed in the first twelve months of the study. Participants with lymphedema, who wear a compression garment, will receive two free garments as part of participating in the study. Arm volumes, circumferences, extra-cellular water in the arm and a subset of arm function tests (range of motion, pain, grip strength) will be monitored quarterly in all participants and monthly in treatment group participants. All participants will be encouraged to request more frequent arm volumetry and/or circumferences and/or extra-cellular water in the arm measures if they believe they have had or are concerned about a change of symptoms. Any participant, regardless of group assignment, who experiences the onset or a flare-up of lymphedema will be seen by a trained lymphedema specialist for evaluation and treatment, paid for by the study. Clinical experiences of Ms. Oatman and Ms. Benson suggest that 10% of the participants with lymphedema will experience a flare-up over 12 months of participation.
For purposes of this study, a flare-up will be defined as a 5% increase in inter-limb discrepancy in volume or circumference at the point of greatest visible difference.as persistent pain/achiness/fullness (in the trunk and/or arm), persistent puffiness (visible), or change of color that does not resolve within three days of rest, and that requires 5 or more days of combined decongestive therapy to resolve. Further, for the purposes of this study, onset of lymphedema will be defined as follows: among women not diagnosed with lymphedema prior to study entry, a \> 10% inter-limb discrepancy in volume or circumference a the point of greatest visible difference OR swelling or obscuration of anatomic architecture on close inspection OR pitting edema. as a 2 cm or 200 ml or greater difference between the arm treated for breast cancer compared to the unaffected arm in a woman not diagnosed with lymphedema prior to study entry. By these actions and the careful training of the fitness trainers, we will monitor all participants carefully with regard to onset or worsening of lymphedema symptoms.
The intervention group will receive social, behavioral support and research staff contact time to encourage them to increase their activity level to include two weekly strength-training sessions over 12 months. For the first three months, the exercise sessions will be supervised and conducted in small groups of 4, to teach the specifics of the protocol. Thereafter, participants will continue the same exercise protocol on their own or in groups of their choosing. Treatment group participants will be held accountable for completing workouts through exercise logs and reminder calls from research staff. Participants in the treatment group will undergo assessments of arm volumes and circumferences , as well as a subset of arm function tests (range of motion, pain, grip strength) monthly.
The control group will undergo all outcome measures at baseline and 12 months, and a few measures at 3 and 6 months. The outcome measures include assessments of arm circumferences, extra-cellular water in the arm, and volumetry, as well as a subset of arm function tests (range of motion, pain, grip strength), and will be asked to neither make purposeful changes in diet nor to begin strength training until the final measures are completed 12 months later. After completion of the final measures, control group participants will have the option to participate in the same intervention offered to treatment group participants, including a 1-year membership to the YMCA, Sisters in Shape gym, or Pottruck Health and Fitness Center.

Brief Summary
The goal of this project is to refine and evaluate the feasibility of a brief, behavioral intervention to improve the recovery following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Cancer patients who were treated with HSCT will learn behavioral techniques to improve sleep and increase daytime activity with the goal of alleviating insomnia, fatigue, and depression after HSCT. If the intervention is feasible and acceptable to patients, a future study will test the effects in a larger trial, with the long-term goal of improving the care and quality of life of cancer survivors recovering from HSCT.
Detailed Description
Details of the assessment strategy:
Patient-reported outcomes:
Participants will complete self-report measures prior to HSCT and 9 (mid-intervention) and 18 weeks (post-intervention) post-HSCT. The sleep disturbance, fatigue, and depression modules of the NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) will be the primary outcomes. The investigators will compare performance with more established instruments the investigation team has previously used: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), and the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS) depression subscale.
Actigraphy:
The Actiwatch-2 (Philips Respironics), a wrist-worn actigraphy device, will be used to objectively quantify circadian rest-activity patterns over a continuous 7-day period using 1-minute sampling epochs at three time points: prior to HSCT and 9 (mid-intervention) and 18 weeks (post-intervention) post-HSCT. The following indices will be calculated: mesor (mean activity level), amplitude (rhythm height), acrophase (time of day the rhythm peaks), and R-squared (robustness of the rhythm). Participants will complete a concurrent nightly sleep log, and traditional sleep parameters will be calculated from both the logs and actigraphy, including total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), wake time after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE). For daytime activity, calibration thresholds will be used to aggregate activity data into steps and minutes spent in sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous activity
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Behavioral techniques
- Learning behavioral techniques designed to improve nighttime sleep quality and daytime activity for approximately 45-60 minutes on three occasions.
Device: Actiwatch-2 (Philips Respironics) | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults 18 years or older undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC)
* Autologous transplant recipients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma (both Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's types) receiving standard conditioning regimens
* Allogeneic transplant recipients undergoing fully ablative transplants
* Participants who develop treatment complications or disease recurrence after being enrolled in the study may continue to participate if they are able to do so

* Aged 18 years and above.
* Life expectancy \> 3 months.
* Written informed consent.
4.2 Exclusion criteria
The following conditions will render patients ineligible to participate in this study:
* Patients with only evaluable disease.
* Active uncontrolled infection.
* Pregnant or lactating women.
* Females of childbearing potential who are unwilling to avoid pregnancy, for the duration of the study.
* Presence of any underlying medical conditions which in the investigators opinion would make the patient unsuitable for treatment.
* Concomitant malignancies or previous malignancies other than NSCLC within the last 5 years, with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix, or stage A low grade prostate cancer.
* Patients with CNS and/or leptomeningeal metastases; unless asymptomatic and not receiving corticosteriod therapy.
4.3 Inclusion and exclusion criteria for phase I patients
The exclusion criteria are the same as above.
The inclusion criteria are the same as above except for the following groups of patients, which are allowed in the phase I study:
* Patients with evaluable disease only (with no measurable lesions).
* Patients with one (and only one) line of chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC, excluding patients who had received prior platinium and/or gemcitabine.
* Patients with indicator lesions in previous radiation field.
Measurability of indicator lesions
* Measurable: The lesion can be measured accurately in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \> 20 mm with conventional techniques or as \> 10mm with spiral CT scan.
* Non-measurable: All other lesions including small lesions (longest diameter \<20 mm with conventional techniques or \< 10 mm with spiral CT scan) and truly non-measurable lesions. Lesions considered to be truly non-measurable include the following: bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/cutis/pulmonis, abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques, and cystic lesions.
* Target Lesions: All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 5 lesions per organ and 10 lesions in total representative of all involved organs should be identified as target lesions and be recorded and measured at baseline. Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesion with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically). A sum of the longest diameter (LD) for all target lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum LD. The baseline sum LD is used as the reference by which to characterize the objective tumor response. If there are \> 10 measurable lesions, those not selected as target lesions will be considered together with non-measurable disease as non-target lesions.
* Non-target Lesions: All non-measurable lesions (or sites of disease) plus any measurable lesions over and above the 10 listed as target lesions. Measurements are not required but these lesions should be noted at baseline and should be followed as 'present' or 'absent'.
* Any tumour measurement relying solely on physical examination should be verified by a second physician.
* The same diagnostic imaging method must be used throughout the study to evaluate the lesions.
5. TREATMENT PLAN
5.1 Phase I study
5.1.1 Carboplatin
The starting dose of carboplatin is given at a fixed dose at a target AUC of 5 over 1 hour on day 1 in both arms of the study. Carboplatin will be given before gemcitabine in all patients. The dose is repeated every 21 days and will be calculated using the Calvert formula:
Dose of carboplatin (mg) = \[calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) + 25\] x 5
The GFR will be calculated according to the Cockroft-Gault formula:
GFR (ml/min) = (140 - age) x body weight (in kg) / 0.81 x serum creatinine (micromol/l)
For female, the correction factor is 0.85 (x calculated GFR)
5.1.2 Infusional gemcitabine
Infusional gemcitabine is given at a constant rate of 10 mg/m2 per minute in all patients on days 1 and 8, the cycle is repeated every 21 days. Dose escalation is achieved by increasing the duration of infusion. The total dose of gemcitabine is re-constituted in 500 ml of normal saline and infused through a peripheral or central venous line.
5.2.1 Treatment courses
Prior to initiating treatment, eligible patients will be randomised to receive gemcitabine given either in the standard short 30 minutes infusion, or constant rate prolonged infusion over the duration determined in the phase I study. All patients in both arms will receive carboplatin at a dose of AUC of 5 over 1 hour.
Standard arm
Carboplatin AUC of 5 over 1 hour, day 1, followed by Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 over 30 min, day 1 and 8 Cycle is repeated every 21 days
Study arm
Carboplatin AUC of 5 over 1 hour, day 1, followed by Gemcitabine 10 mg/m2/min at MTD, day 1 and 8 Cycle is repeated every 21 days
Supportive treatment
* All patients should receive pre-medications to prevent nausea and vomiting according to local policy.
* No prophylactic growth factors are allowed.
* Growth factor is allowed only in the rescue setting, eg. prolonged grade 4 neutropenia for more than 7 days, or for febrile neutropenia.
5.2.2 Dosing in cycle 2 and subsequent cycles
The next treatment cycle will begin on schedule providing
• There is no evidence of tumour progression
* Neutrophils \~ 2 x 109/L
* Platelets \~ 100,000 x 109/l
* Absence of grade 2 or above non-haematological toxicity
5.2.3 Dose modifications
5.2.3.1 General rules
* No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed.
* Any patient who requires a dose reduction will not be eligible for any dose escalation for the remainder of the study.
* Treatment may be delayed up to day 35 to allow a patient sufficient time for recovery from treatment related toxicity. Any patient who cannot proceed to the next cycle by day 35 will be discontinued from the study.
5.2.3.2 Dose modifications based on haematologic toxicity
Adjustment based on day 8 count Platelets (x 109/l) ANC (x 109/l) Action \> 75 and \> 1.0 Proceed with day 8 dose \> 75 and 0.5 - 1.0 Proceed with reduced dose 50 - 75 and \~ 0.5 Proceed with reduced dose \< 50 and/or \< 0.5 Omit dose When day 8 dose is reduced, the same reduced dose will be used for the following cycle.
When day 8 dose is omitted, the cycle is completed, and the next cycle will be scheduled on day 22, with dose reduction.

5.2.3.3 Dose modifications for non-haematologic toxicity
Any grade 3 or 4 non-haematologic toxicity, except for nausea and vomiting and fatigue and reversible transaminitis, will render patient off study.
Non-haematologic toxicity must be less than grade 2 before proceeding to the next cycle. If they are higher than grade 2, treatment is delayed for 1 week. Treatment may be delayed for a maximum of 2 weeks.
5.2.4 Treatment duration
Responding patients will receive up to six cycles of chemotherapy.
After treatment completion or withdrawal, patients may continue to receive further treatment at the discretion of their physician.
Screening evaluations
The following screening investigations must be performed within 28 days of day 1 of cycle 1:

The following screening evaluations and investigations must be performed within 14 days of the first dose of therapy and includes the following:
• Consent
• Complete medical history, include details of symptoms, prior treatments, any residual toxicity, concomitant medical conditions and medications
• Physical examinations, including documentation of all palpable lesions, vital signs, body weight and height, and KPS.
• Documentation of indicator lesion(s) to include date of assessment, description of lesion site, dimensions, and type of diagnostic study to follow lesion. The same diagnostic method must be used throughout the study to evaluate a lesion.
The following tests must be performed within 7 days of the first dose of therapy and includes the following:
* Full blood count
* Serum electrolytes and liver enzymes, total calcium and magnesium
* Serum pregnancy test, if applicable
* Dipstick urinalysis - if dipstick is positive for protein or blood, a complete microscopic examination is required
8.3 Evaluation during treatment
Prior to day 1 of each cycle
• History and physical examination
• Assess and record toxicities from prior course. Assign appropriate toxicity grades (see Appendix 4).
• Record all medications taken since the last cycle.
• Weight measurement for re-calculation of body surface area and creatinine clearance
• Assessment of symptoms of disease (QoL questionnaire should be given and filled by patient before assessment by investigator).
* Assessment of performance status
* Full blood count, electrolytes and liver enzymes (if day15 levels are abnormal).
* Urine dipstick analysis, if the baseline result is abnormal
* Clinical tumour measurements should be obtained prior to every cycle of treatment
* Radiographic tumour measurements should be obtained after every 2 cycles of treatment.
* Modify dose of the next cycle if necessary (see section 5.2.3).
Day 8 assessment
• Full blood count
Day 15 assessment
• Full blood count, electrolytes and liver enzymes
8.4 Evaluation of response
Patients will be evaluable for response after 2 cycles of therapy. Clinical tumour measurements should be performed prior to every cycle of treatment. Radiographic tumour measurements should be obtained after every 2 cycles of treatment.
If a patient meets the response criteria (see section 7) for CR, PR or SD for the first time, another clinical and radiographic tumour assessment will be performed 4 or more weeks later to document that the response has lasted at least 4 weeks.
Clinical tumour assessment after every cycle and radiographic tumour response after every 2 cycles will continue until completion of treatment or patient withdrawal.
8.5 Post-treatment follow-up
Responding patients will be reviewed every 2 monthly after completion of chemotherapy. Clinical tumour assessment will be carried out 2 monthly. Radiographic tumour assessment will be done every 4 monthly. These will continue until disease progression is documented.
Patients who never had a response, and patients with disease progression after a previously documented response will be followed every 3 monthly for survival data.
9. TREATMENT COMPLETION AND WITHDRAWAL
A patient will be considered as completing the treatment if:
* Patient has completed 6 cycles of therapy.
* Patient has a confirmed CR or confirmed PR and received at least 4 cycles of therapy and the investigator does not feel further therapy is indicated.
* Patient maintained a status SD for at least 8 weeks on treatment and received at least 2 cycles of treatment.
* Patient has PD after completing at least one full course of treatment.
* A patient is removed from the study due to unacceptable toxicity.
Patients may be withdrawn from the treatment for the following reasons:
* Adverse experience, including intercurrent illness or unacceptable toxicity.
* If attending physician thinks a change of therapy would be in the best interest of the patient.
* Protocol violation (including non-compliance).
* Patient withdrawal at his/her request, for reasons other than those above.
* Lost to follow-up.
All patients will be followed for status of disease and survival until death. 10. QUALITY OF LIFE (QoL) ASSESSMENT
It is essential to explain to the patient that the QoL assessment is an important part of the trial, and that all sections should be answered even if the patient feels them to be irrelevant. It should be emphasized that the completion of these forms helps doctors find out more about the effects of treatment on patients' well-being.
A named contact person other than the responsible clinician managing the patient in the context of the trial, must be appointed to take responsibility for the administration, collection and checking of the completed EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 questionnaire. The questionnaire must be taken before consultation with the clinician, according to the EORTC guidelines for QoL assessment. They should be checked to ensure that all questions have been answered; if necessary go back to the patient immediately and ask him or her to fill in any missing items. If an assessment is missed because of administrative failure, the patient should be contacted by telephone or letter and an arrangement should be made for the questionnaire to be taken within a week of the scheduled assessment.
The questionnaire may be filled in by the patient if he/she is able to read and understand the language of the questionnaire. Otherwise, the named person for administering the QoL should read out the questions as written, in the language the patient understands, and record the response to each question without prejudicing his/her answer. The mode of delivery should be noted in the questionnaire.
11. RANDOMISATION PROCEDURE
Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either gemcitabine given in the conventional 30 minutes infusion, or protracted infusion, both in combination with carboplatin.
11.1 Stratification
Stratified randomization will be carried out using the minimization method based on the following factors:
(i) Centre (National University Hospital, Sydney Cancer Centre, Johns Hopkins-NUH International Medical Centre) (ii) Karnofsky performance status (90 - 100% vs 70 - 80%) (iii) Stage of disease (IIIB vs IV)
11.2 Registration
Patients will be entered into the trial by a telephone call to the National Medical Research Council (NMRC) Clinical Trials \& Epidemiology Research Unit (CTERU), Singapore (+65 220-1292) between 0830 to 1730 hours Monday to Friday, and 0830 to 1230 hours Saturday (Singapore time), or by Fax (+65 220-1485), stating that the patient is to be entered into the CTRG L08 or SQLU02 trial.
Informed written consent for entry into the study should be obtained prior to randomization. All eligibility criteria and consent form will be checked, and the stratification factors stated before treatment is allocated. The patient will be randomized to long infusional gemcitabine (L) or 30- minute short infusion gemcitabine (S), and allocated a trial number. The design will involve equal allocation of patients to the two treatments. Confirmation fax will be sent to the investigator.
12. STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The sample size calculation is carried out based on the statistical selection theory criterion as detailed in Simon et al (62) and Gibbons et al (63). Assuming a 90% probability of correctly selecting the best treatment, and anticipating a baseline response rate of 40%, then to detect a 15% superiority of the best treatment over the other, a trial size of 37 patients per treatment arm would be required. The total accrual target would thus be 74 patients.
13. STATISTICAL ANALYSES
Statistical analysis of all study endpoints will be carried out on an intention-to-treat basis. In the event of lost to follow-up, patients will still be included in the analysis for the duration that they are observed. The inherent comparability of results in this randomized phase II design using the statistical selection theory assures that the two treatments can be reliably ranked when large differences are obtained.
The best response will be used in the analysis of objective tumour response. In the case of adverse event, where multiple events of the same kind has occurred in a patient, only the maximum grade will be documented for the analysis. The tumour response rates and toxicities between treatment groups will be compared descriptively using estimates of proportions.
The response duration and time to response for responding patients will be assessed using appropriate descriptive statistics. The evaluation of progression-free and overall survival will be carried out using the Kaplan-Meier technique at 1-year follow-up. In the case of progression-free survival, patients whose disease has not progressed will be censored at the date last known to be alive. Similarly, the analysis of overall survival censors patients who are lost to follow-up or who remained alive at the date last known to be alive.
For each QoL dimension, changes in scores over time will be compared between treatment arms by means of appropriate graphical representation or descriptive statistics.
No interim analysis is planned for this randomised phase II trial.
14. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
14.1 IRB/Ethics committee
Before study initiation, the protocol will be submitted for review and approval by the hospital and Ministry of Health research and ethics committee or equivalent group. Approval of the protocol and informed consent must be obtained.
14.2 Patient information
The responsible physician will inform the patient about the background and current knowledge of the treatment under study with special reference to known activity and toxicity. The patient will be told about the investigative nature of this treatment and in particular, the randomization process involved in this study. The patient will be told of his or her right to withdraw from the study at any time without any penalty with regards to the continuation of care at this institution and by the same physicians as he chooses. Before accrual, all patients will sign a written, informed consent form.
14.3 Informed consent
Informed consent should meet the requirement of the latest revision of the Declaration of Helsinki and any applicable regulations and guidelines such as the Good Clinical Practice (Singapore).
The study will be completely explained to each prospective candidate and the subject must give consent by signing and dating the consent form.
Consent must be obtained before any protocol-required procedures are performed, including any procedures not part of normal patient care.
Plasma dFdC and dFdU levels
Ten millilitres of blood will be drawn at 0 hours (baseline), 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 minutes before the end of the infusion, and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours after the end of the infusion. The blood will be drawn into 10 ml tubes (green topped) containing heparin and 5 micromol tetrahydrouridine. The tubes are then centrifuged at 3300 rpm for 15 minutes and the supernatant plasma is then transferred to plain tubes (red topped) for immediate storage at -80oC. Samples will be labeled with the patient's name, ID number, date, exact time of sample and protocol number. A pharmacokinetic form will accompany the plasma samples to the Pharmacology laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology, National University of Singapore, c/o Prof Lee How Sung.
DFdC and dFdU levels in plasma will be measured using reverse phase HPLC, as described by Grunewald (22). Briefly, 20 microl to 50 microl of plasma is injected onto a C18 mBondapak analytical column (Waters Associates, Inc.). Components will be separated with a mobile phase consisting of a 30 minute linear gradient starting with 100% solution A (0.5M ammonium acetate, pH = 6.8) and ending with 60% solution B (50% methanol in deionised water). Flow rate is at 1.5 ml/min. Detection wavelengths are 275 nm and 262 nm for dFdC and dFdU, respectively.
16.2 Intracellular dFdCTP levels
Samples of blood will be collected to assay intracellular dFdCTP. Only 3 samples per patient, obtained 10 minutes after the start and 10 minutes before the end of the infusion of gemcitabine, and one in the middle of infusion, will be assayed for dFdCTP.
Plasma is first separated from the blood by centrifugation at 3300 rpm for 20 minutes. Mononuclear cells are then isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are extracted with 0.4 NHClO4, and the acid-insoluble material is removed by centrifugation. The supernatant is then carefully neutralized to pH 7 with potassium hydroxide, and the precipitated KClO4 is then removed by centrifugation. An ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography method is then used to separate and quantitate the dFdCTP.
17. STUDY ADMINISTRATION
17.1 Drug accountability
Stocks of gemcitabine will be supplied by Eli Lilly for trial purposes, and all these vials will be accounted for at the site pharmacy.
17.2 Maintenance of patients records
CTRG clinical report forms will be used to record data for this study. All patient clinical report forms will be faxed to the CTRG Office (+65 777-5545). A copy of each patients eligibility report form, randomization report form (for phase II), study schedule, consent forms, laboratory and radiological reports, and QoL assessment will be kept in the CTRG Office. All records will be kept for a period of 6 years following the date of study closure according to Singapore GCP guidelines

Brief Summary
Aim of the Study:
This study will compare between injectable flowable composite (Beautifil flow plus x) and high viscosity glass ionomer (Equia Fil) by ART caries preventive protocol in high caries risk patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy
Detailed Description
Statement of the problem:
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may cause changes in the lining of the mouth and the salivary glands. This can upset the healthy balance of bacteria. These changes may lead to mouth sores, infections, and tooth decay.
Rationale:
Patients under chemotherapy treatment and radiotherapy are systemically compromised and undergo hospital manipulations and residency, increasing their caries risk, fear, and anxiety. That's why they need specific caries preventive protocols designed for high-risk patients. Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is recommended for these patients to decrease pain and anxiety.
Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) and interim therapeutic restoration (ITR) have had increased interest in the past few years. ART and ITR are comparative approaches and are performed utilizing the same material, but they contrast within the reason of their utilize. ART is very effective as a restorative technique since it is more conservative than conventional treatment. Also in this technique, we avoid using rotary equipment and dental anaesthesia, which increase anxiety during the dental procedure. ITR, on the other hand, is used as a temporary restoration that will be replaced with a more definitive one.
Injectable flowable Giomer composites are a material used for direct filling techniques has been developed over the past years. It has the property of Giomer technology that is able to release and recharge fluoride and other beneficial ions for the life of the restoration and induce remineralization of the underlying hard dental tissues. Injectable flowable Giomer composite (Beautiful flow plus x) has a long-term clinical performance like conventional composite., it also aids in decreasing acid production and formation of an antiacid resistant layer, helps in the reduction of tooth mineral solubility also has a high survival rate and wear resistance in high stress-bearing areas in posterior teeth.
Beautiful Flow Plus X also helps to remineralise the tooth structure for sustainable caries prevention and easily polishes for long-lasting lustre

Brief Summary
Determination of progression free survival after 12 months of FU
Determination of total survival, response and quality of life
Detailed Description
In Germany there are two established therapy regimes for platin sensitive ovarian cancer: the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel as well as the combination of carboplatin with gemcitabine. Choice of therapy is individual due to missing randomized comparisons between the regimes. Topotecan has shown good efficacy in second-line therapy of ovarian cancer as well as a good, especially, non-hematoxic toxicity profile. Several phase II-studies have demonstrated a synergistic effect of topotecan in combination with carboplatin exhibiting good efficacy and tolerability.
It shall be tested in this randomized phase III-study if the combination of topotecan and carboplatin shows improvement of progression-free survival in comparison to the standard regimes.

Brief Summary
Primary Objectives:
Study Part 1: Determine the selected dose of AVE1642 administered every 3 weeks based on pharmacokinetic (PK) (Clearance of AVE1642), pharmacodynamic (PD) (insulin-like growth factor 1 \[IGF-1\] serum level) parameters, and eventual dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with recurrent, refractory multiple myeloma (MM).
Study Part 2: Assess the safety of the combination of the selected dose of AVE1642 with the recommended dose of Velcade®.
Secondary Objectives :
Study Part 1:
* To assess the safety profile: type, incidence and intensity of drug related adverse events (AEs)
* To assess the biological activity of AVE1642 (saturation of the receptors and down-regulation) on malignant plasma cells and on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and granulocytes
* To assess the biological activity of AVE1642 on the signalization pathway of the IGF-1 system (phosphorylated akt \[pAkt\], phosphorylated erk \[pErk\]) on malignant plasma cells when technically possible
* To define PK profile of AVE1642, and its PD effects on serum IGF 1, GF 2 and IGFBP-3
* To assess clinical efficacy (complete response \[CR\], partial response \[PR\], minimal response \[MR\] and stabilization) based on the European group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria, when possible
* To assess potential immunogenicity by detection of human antihumanized antibodies (HAHA) anti-AVE1642
Study Part 2:
* To detect any PK or PD interaction between AVE1642 and Velcade®
* To assess clinical efficacy (CR, PR, MR, no change \[NC\]) according to EBMT criteria when appropriate
* To assess biological activity of AVE1642 in combination with Velcade® on malignant plasma cells collected from bone marrow aspirates: saturation and down-regulation of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and activity on the signalization pathway of the IGF-1 system (pAkt, pErk) when feasible
* To detect immunogenicity reaction (HAHA)
* To characterize PK and PD profile of a low dose (0.5 mg/kg) of AVE1642 expected to be non biologically active

Brief Summary
The present study aim to assess the effect of an interactive web decision aid on informed choice - measured via knowledge, attitudes and intentions concerning breast cancer screening - comparing the decision aid with a standard information provided via web.
Detailed Description
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. In Italy, women are invited to a population-based mammography screening programme for the first time at the age of 45 or 50 years. Results from randomised controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews continuously fuel the debate on the balance on benefits (reducing breast cancer mortality) and harms (overdiagnosis, overtreatment) of mammography screening. Physicians, policy makers, as well as laypeople or patient associations agree on the need to inform women about the potential benefits and harms in order to allow an aware decision process. Decision aids are an effective way to support lay people in their decisions about health.
#Intervention
- OTHER : Decision-aid
- Web platform with a multilevel information and an aid for the decision to be taken. The content is splitted in 16-20 screens; each screen contains the answer to a common question (i.e. What is mammography screening? What are its benefits and harms? What results can be expected from the participation to mammography screening? What is breast cancer?). The information covers also controversial topics as overdiagnosis, overtreatment and the disagreement among scientists about harms and benefits' quantification.
- OTHER : Standard information
- Web platform with a standard brochure. This standard brochure represents a combination of the best information available from the three participate centre' brochures. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Women aged 45 <= age <= 69, according to the target age of the screening centres involved;
* New invited women in mammography screening programme.

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to develop additional long term data to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this treatment.
Indications for use for this system is: 'The ExAblate is intended to ablate uterine fibroid tissue in pre- or peri-menopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who desire a uterine sparing procedure. Patients must have a uterine size of less than 24 weeks and not seeking treatment for reasons of improving fertility.'
Detailed Description
Background
General:
Uterine leiomyoma (fibroids) are the most common neoplasms of the female pelvis. These benign tumors are generally oval in shape, and often highly vascular. On T2 weighted MR imaging exams, or T1 exams with contrast, uterine fibroids are easily identifiable. They occur in 20-25% of women of reproductive age and can cause a variety of problems generally described as either bleeding or mass effects from the fibroid. In general, these symptoms can be classified into two categories:
1. heavy menstrual bleeding, defined as bleeding on heavy days requiring a change of sanitary wear every 2 hours or less, significant clot passage, flooding, substantial prolongation of menstrual periods compared with the patient's prior experience, or anemia.
2. pelvic pain or pressure, heaviness or discomfort, or similar symptoms in the back, flank or leg attributable to the bulk of the fibroid, urinary frequency, increase in nocturia, difficulty voiding or compression of the ureters with hydronephrosis.
Measures of the clinical success of patients who elect treatment of fibroids are generally subjective, and evaluated by the patient in terms of improvement in the initial symptoms that caused her to seek treatment (decrease in pain, bladder or bowel symptoms, or reduction in vaginal bleeding), while experiencing a minimum of co-morbidities from the treatment itself.
ExAblate Device:
The InSightec ExAblate MR guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) system is a non-invasive thermal ablation device fully integrated with an MR imaging system and used for the ablation of soft tissue. It has been evaluated in an earlier FDA international, multi-center study and found to be safe and effective for the treatment of uterine fibroids. ExAblate device received FDA approval in October 2004.
Prior Studies:
The ExAblate has been used for the treatment of uterine fibroids in 2 previous IDE protocols.
* Group A: This was the original Pivotal Study Group (IDE G020001 - Protocol UF002). These 109 patients were treated at 3 sites in the US and at 4 sites outside the US. There was a limitation on the allowable treatment volume and only a single treatment was permitted. Original follow-up was planned for 6 months. The study was later extended to include follow-up visits at 12, 24, and 36 months (UF009). Because of the gap between the initial study consent, and the re-consent for the long term follow-up there was a high dropout rate at the 12 month visit. Thirty-three US patients returned for the 12 months visit, and will continue to be followed for the 24 and 36 M visits.
* Group B: This was the Continued Access Study (IDE G020001 - Protocol UF005) where approximately 160 patients were treated at 3 sites in the US during the PMA review period. Treatment conditions were modified somewhat from the pivotal, including the addition of a second treatment session where necessary. The initial study was planned to include a long term follow-up of 12, 24 and 36 months (UF009).
* Group C: This group of 70 patients (UF14) will be treated post-PMA approval following the commercial treatment guidelines. The follow-up will include for visits at 12, 24 and 36 months. This group includes also another 20 patients who will be treated under this original IDE to validate the ExAblate system for use in a 3T MR scanner, as well as validating a new application SW (V4.1).

Brief Summary
In patients with early-stage breast cancer, chemotherapy has substantially improved survival rates for breast cancer patients. Improvements in outcomes, however, are compromised by the considerable toxicities associated with chemotherapy, most notable being neutropenia. Neutropenia is the presence of abnormally few white blood cells, leading to increased susceptibility to infection and can require hospitalization and need for intravenous antibiotics and is sometimes fatal. Febrile neutropenia can also be associated with treatment delays and dose reductions, potentially compromising treatment efficacy. Patients can receive medication to reduce the risk of febrile neutropenia, such as Neupogen (Filgrastim) as a daily injection for 5, 7, or 10 days. Since there is genuine uncertainty amongst healthcare professionals as to which administration schedule of Neupogen is better, investigators are performing a randomized study in which patients are put into a group by chance to give participants one of three standards of Neupogen daily injection. Neupogen can cost approximately $200 per injection, so if a physician prescribes 10 days for 8 cycles of treatment this can cost $16,000 compared to a 5 day prescription which would cost half this. In addition to cost savings, many patients are not able to give themselves injections on a daily basis and require nursing resources which are utilized at high-cost. This study will use an 'integrated consent model' that involves an 'oral consent' rather than a written informed consenting process in order to increase the number of patients who may participate while performing a study at a lower cost. While determining the optimal treatment will improve patient comfort and acceptability, using the minimal safe duration of administration may also offer cost savings.

Brief Summary
More than 20% of patients with gastric cancer have at presentation a stage IV disease. Advanced adenocarcinoma of the antro-pyloric region often determines a condition of gastric outlet obstruction syndrome (GOOS), which requires a rapid resolution for the severe consequences that will occur if the obstruction is not resolved. GOOS causes malnutrition, fluid and electrolyte imbalances that are difficult to control. Laparoscopic or open gastroenterostomy has been proposed as the treatment of choice in patients with advanced unresectable distal stomach tumor presenting with symptoms of GOOS. Noticeably, laparoscopic gastroenterostomy might be difficult to be performed in a hostile abdomen because of the involvement of the root of the mesentery, infiltration of the surrounding structures and peritoneal carcinosis. Furthermore, laparoscopic or open gastroenterostomy provides suboptimal palliation, because it is associated with postoperative complications ranging from 15% to 50% related to a delayed gastric emptying and a protract postoperative hospital stay. These results negatively affect the quality of life (QoL), and therefore, the efficacy of gastroenterostomy for palliation has been questioned. In 1997, Kaminishi et al. introduced a technique of stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (SPGJ), which divides the lower part of the stomach and connects the jejunum to the proximal part of the stomach while maintaining a tunnel that is 2 to 3 cm in diameter along the lesser curvature. This technique theoretically provides some benefits: endoscopic evaluation of the tumor response to adjuvant chemotherapy and the possibility of repeated endoscopic local treatment on the tumor, prevention of ingested food retention in the distal part of the stomach thus facilitating gastric emptying and improving patient's QoL. A current alternative to laparoscopic or open surgical approach to an advanced gastric tumor is the positioning of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) which offers many potential advantages: the avoidance of general anaesthesia for a laparoscopic or open approach, a shorter hospital stay and a minor patient postoperative discomfort.
We want to perform a prospective longitudinal cohort trial, comparing the QoL of patients affected with stage IV antropyloric stomach cancer and symptoms of GOOS who underwent endoscopic placement of a SEMS or after open SPGJ.

Brief Summary
Iontophoresis is a transdermal drug-delivery technique that enhances the transport of ionic species across membranes and may have significant benefit for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) by ablative fractional laser-primed photodynamic therapy (AFL-PDT).
Detailed Description
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL) is effective in the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK). Many strategies have been studied to improve the production of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), to improve efficacy of PDT. Pre-treatment of the skin with fractional laser resurfacing is a novel alternative technique to improve the efficacy of PDT for AK. Our previous studies showed that ablative fractional laser-primed PDT (AFL-PDT) offered higher efficacy than conventional MAL-PDT in the treatment of many diseases, such as AK, actinic cheilitis, Bowen's disease and basal cell carcinoma.1-4 Iontophoresis can be another method to improve efficacy of PDT. Iontophoresis is a transdermal drug-delivery technique which uses a mild electric current to enhance the transport of ionic species across membranes. Iontophoresis has been widely used to enhance drug delivery. Mizutani K et al.5 reported 5 AK patients successfully treated with direct-current pulsed iontophoresis-assisted 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-PDT. Boddé HE et al.6 studied iontophoretic transport of ALA quantitatively in vitro and demonstrated enhanced transport of ALA by iontophoresis.
Until now, appropriate incubation time for AFL-PDT has not been elucidated. In our previous study, we investigated the efficacy of AFL-PDT with a short incubation time.7 Although AFL-PDT with a short incubation time (2 h) showed enhanced efficacy than conventional MAL-PDT with the standard incubation time, standard AFL-PDT with 3-h incubation time showed significantly higher efficacy than AFL-PDT with a short incubation time.
The aim of our study was to evaluate efficacy of iontophoresis in AFL-PDT for AK treatment. Consequently, we compared efficacy, recurrence rate, cosmetic outcome and safety between iontophoresis-assisted AFL-PDT with 2-h incubation time and conventional AFL-PDT with 2-h and 3-h incubation times.
#Intervention
- DRUG : lidocaine/prilocaine (5%) application
- For AFL pre-treatment, lidocaine/prilocaine (5%) cream (EMLA; Astra Pharmaceuticals, LP, Westborough, MA, USA) was applied to the treatment area under occlusion for 30 min
- DEVICE : 2940-nm Er:YAG AFL pretreatment
- After the anaesthetic cream was removed, AFL therapy was performed using a 2940-nm Er:YAG AFL (Joule; Sciton Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) at 300-550 µm ablation depth, level 1 coagulation, 22% treatment density and a single pulse
- DRUG : MAL application
- Immediately after AFL treatment, an approximately 1-mm-thick layer of MAL (Metvix, PhotoCure ASA, Oslo, Norway) was applied to the lesion and on 5 mm of surrounding normal tissue.
- DEVICE : Iontophoresis application
- In Group A, ionotophoresis was performed on MAL-applied sites. We used iontophoresis (vitaliont II®, ITC Inc, Korea) with a patch. The active electrode was the anode, and 0.50-mA/cm2 current was applied to each AK lesion for 10 min.
- DEVICE : irradiation with red light-emitting diode lamp
- After incubation for 2 (Group A and B) or 3 hours (Group C), the dressing and cream were removed, and the area was cleansed with saline. The area was irradiated with a red light-emitting diode lamp (Aktilite CL 128; PhotoCure ASA, Oslo, Norway) with peak emission at 632 nm, placed 5 cm away from the skin surface, and a total light dose of 37 J/cm-2. All patients wore protective goggles during illumination. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Korean patients aged >= 18 years who had biopsy-confirmed AK lesions
Exclusion Criteria:
* lactating or pregnant women
* patients with porphyria or a known allergy to any of the constituents of the MAL cream and lidocaine

Brief Summary
Patients that have had staging studies identifying them as AJCC stage IV with up to five liver metastases will be considered for the study. About 60 patients will take part in this study at UT southwestern, Parkland Health \& Hospital System, and Methodist Richardson Cancer Center. There are four dose cohorts for this study and each cohort will enroll a minimum of 7 to a maximum of 15 patients depending on tolerance of therapy. The treatment period will last for approximately 1 day and the follow-up portion of the study will last 5 years.
Detailed Description
If the patient has met all the eligibility criteria, they will be registered to the study After successful registration to the study and treatment planning session, patients will receive a single fraction of radiation. The total dose a particular patient receives will depend on the dose cohort they are enrolled into. Each treatment will last about one hour and will be given in a particular position to help guide the beams of radiation toward the cancer area. Although it is not mandatory, it is recommended that patients receive corticosteroid premedication (e.g. Decadron 4-10 m.g. p.o. in a single dose or equivalent) 15-60 minutes prior to each treatment for the intended purpose of modulating immediate acute inflammatory effects and providing anti-emetic support.

Brief Summary
Basal cell carcinoma (BCCA) is the most common human cancer, and frequently affects facial structures. While rarely fatal, facial BCCA can be disfiguring and expensive to treat.
Vismodegib is a small molecule inhibitor of SMO developed for the treatment of tumors in which the Hh signaling pathway appears to contribute to the development and maintenance of tumorigenesis. Vismodegib was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of metastatic and locally advanced BCCA. Recent reports have suggested that vismodegib treatment for orbital BCCA may facilitate eye preservation even if surgery is eventually required
In order to assess the potential of vismodegib to improve the ophthalmic outcomes following treatment for orbital and/or periocular BCCA, this study will follow patients with globe-threatening orbital and lacrimal-threatening periocular BCCA who are being treated with vismodegib as standard of care.
Patients with tumors that do not respond to treatment with Vismodegib, and those who have a good response but poor tolerance of Vismodegib, will be offered surgical excision of the tumor. Patients with a good response and good tolerance of Vismodegib may continue the treatment as long as clinically indicated.
#Intervention

* Adequate BCCA size and location.
* Adequate hematopoietic capacity, hepatic and renal function.
* Male patients must agree to use condoms during treatment and for 3 months after last dose.
* Male patients must agree to not donate sperm during treatment and for 3 months after last dose.
* Participant must agree not to donate blood during the study and for 7 months after last dose.

Brief Summary
Blood donors are a precious community resource. Each month at Blood Center of Wisconsin (BCW), 200 men and 600 women over age 50 are turned away ('deferred') because of anemia. In those over 50, anemia may signal serious underlying disease such as colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is the #3 cause of cancer death in Wisconsin with more than 1,000 deaths in 2006. Yet with proper testing CRC outcomes can be improved by early diagnosis. This project will focus on a population of deferred older blood donors to develop and test educational materials that will motivate donors to seek medical attention for their anemia, so that the underlying cause is diagnosed and treated. This project has the potential to lead to better CRC outcomes in Wisconsin blood donors.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Educational brochure
- This brochure will educate anemic blood donors regarding the possible causes of their anemia, and based on age will make recommendations for who should seek consultation with a physician.
- BEHAVIORAL : Standard pamphlet
- The BloodCenter of Wisconsin's default action when a potential donor has been found to be anemic is to provide a standard pamphlet with very basic nutritional information. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* adult blood donors who have been 'deferred' (not allowed to donate) due to low blood count, specifically all male donors found to have hematocrit < 38% and to all female donors > 50 years found to have hematocrit < 36%
Exclusion Criteria:
* deferred donors who have previously donated more than 3 times in the past year, as their anemia is more likely due to frequent donation
* women less than 50 years

Brief Summary
Some tumors use estrogen in the body to assist with growth. Letrozole is a drug that is prevents cells from producing estrogens. This should assist with the slowing of growth of tumor cells. Letrozole also promotes cell destruction by inhibiting a cellular destruction pathway.
The objectives of this study will look at the differences between the cellular destruction pathway before and after letrozole use, and the differences in the cellular destruction pathway in participants that have received letrozole versus those who did not. The study will also look at a gene in all participants called Ki67. This gene is associated with the rate of tumor cell growth. The study will measure the levels of Ki67 and compare them to the amount of activation of the cellular destruction pathway.
Participants in this study will have undergone a diagnostic biopsy of their breast tissue.
In order to meet these objectives, one group of participants (Arm A) will not receive letrozole. Tissue leftover from their diagnostic biopsy will be treated with everolimus (RAD001) in the laboratory and the effects of this drug on the cellular destruction pathway will be studied.
The other group of participants (Arm B) will take letrozole for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 21 days. They will have a second tumor sample taken as part of their surgical procedure completed to remove the tumor tissue. Any differences in the cellular destruction pathway before and after exposure to letrozole will be measured.

Brief Summary
Clinical first-in-human study evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of intra-nodal administration of a personalized vaccination with IVAC MUTANOME vaccine with or without initial treatment with RBL001/RBL002 vaccine in patients with advanced melanoma
Detailed Description
IVAC MUTANOME is a poly-neo-epitopic coding RNA vaccine targeting the unique mutation signature of an individual patient. It is engineered on demand, provided as two patient-specific RNA drug products and administered as an individual treatment.
RBL001/RBL002 and IVAC MUTANOME are naked ribonucleic acid (RNA) based recombinant vaccines optimized to induce antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses against melanoma associated target antigens.
The two antigens are well characterized antigens in melanoma that have been previously utilized with excellent safety and proven immunogenicity as vaccine targets in a number of independent clinical trials.
The overall rationale of the study is to determine safety of the novel RNA-based vaccine strategy and determine the number and function of vaccine-induced antigen-specific immune-responses as early biomarkers for the clinical mode of action.
The IVAC MUTANOME vaccine approach is based on targeting multiple immunogenic tumour mutations unique to a given patient's tumour using a poly-epitopic RNA-based vaccine manufactured for use in a single patient only. Parallel to the target discovery process and on demand manufacturing of IVAC MUTANOME vaccine patients with RBL001 and/ or RBL002 positive-tumours will receive the RBL001/RBL002 vaccine. Patients which tumours that are RBL001 and RBL002 negative can also be included into the clinical study but will not receive RBL001/RBL002 prior to IVAC MUTANOME. Applying this approach the RBL001/RBL002 vaccine and the IVAC MUTANOME vaccine administration is expected to lead to several effects contributing to their immunological (therapeutic) effects.
#Intervention

Brief Summary
Because the management of children with solid tumors hinges on the extent of disease, it is crucial to identify metastatic sites. Helical chest computed tomography (CT) is the standard method of excluding pulmonary metastases. However, CT lacks molecular information regarding nodule histology and often biopsy is required to exclude malignancy. Biopsy procedures carry known risks including those associated with anesthesia and sedation, infection, pneumothorax, hemorrhage, pain and other post-procedure and post-operative complications and may also add unnecessary cost to the management of the patient. We found that the ability of three experienced pediatric radiologists to correctly predict nodule histology based on CT imaging features was limited (57% to 67% rate of correct classification). Also, there was only slight to moderate agreement in nodule classification between these reviewers.
Furthermore, of 50 children who have undergone pulmonary nodule biopsy at St. Jude in the last five years, 44% (22/50) had only benign nodules.
Adult studies have shown that a nuclear medicine scan called fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and the fusion modality PET-CT are superior to diagnostic CT in distinguishing benign from malignant pulmonary nodules because FDG PET gives information about the metabolic activity of the nodule. Nodules that are malignant have more metabolic activity, hence more FDG uptake/intensity, than those that are benign. There has been little work done in children to determine the value of PET or PET-CT in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules.
Detailed Description
In this study, we seek to assess the feasibility of performing PET-CT for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules in children to obtain preliminary data for sample size determination for a larger multi-institutional trial. The primary objective of the multi-institutional trial will be to compare the accuracy of diagnostic CT alone to PET-CT in distinguishing benign from malignant nodules in children with solid malignancies. We are hopeful that PET-CT will allow us to better direct the clinical management of these patients and to reduce the number of invasive procedures performed to confirm the presence of benign disease.

Brief Summary
This study is for patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving radium-223 as their standard of care therapy. The researchers will collect blood and urine samples from patients before, during and after the radium-223 therapy. The researchers will compare these samples to observe how the treatment has affected different cancer markers.
Detailed Description
This study proposes to document the presence of clonal emergence and regression during radium-223 therapy for metastatic prostate cancer by serial ctDNA analysis of tumor-associated mutations, using the clinically-available Guardant 360 platform. These data may provide important mechanistic insights into radium-223 therapy by 1) identifying mutations associated with radium-223 resistance or sensitivity, 2) providing new markers of treatment response in an individual, and 3) revealing antitumor effects from radium-223 that are not easily recognized with standard tumor response metrics. Positive finding based on this clinically-available platform will be readily applied by the oncology treatment community.

Brief Summary
This study investigates the effects of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol on brain structure and function. Patients with Cushing's disease are studied before and after treatment. Brain imaging and neuropsychologic tests are used to study changes in the hippocampus and thinking and learning functions as well as mood during the period of elevated cortisol. At several intervals after treatment, these are reexamined to study the degree of reversibility of the abnormalities. The contribution of cortisol as well as testosterone and estrogen to dysfunction and recovery is studied. Since elevated cortisol and dysregulation of its secretory system occurs in a significant proportion of the aged and in Alzheimers Disease and Major Depressive Disorder, these studies will help advance knowledge of the role of cortisol in these conditions.

Chest drain is used routinely after lung surgery. Despite preliminary studies demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative chest drain removal, these are either retrospective or mainly concerning benign disease.
Hypothesis: Participants treated without post-operative chest tube after thoracoscopic wedge resection have less pain, reduced opioid usage without increasing postoperative complications than participants treated with standard post-operative chest tube, and could possibly be discharged earlier.
#Intervention
- PROCEDURE : Intraoperative air leak test
- A standard 28 Fr chest drain is inserted through the anterior port hole with all port holes closed. With the tip of the chest tube below water, the pleura is emptied from air during continuous ventilation of the lungs. An air leak after 5 minutes of ventilation indicates a negative sealing test, whereas a cessation of air leak within 5 minutes indicates a positive sealing test.
- PROCEDURE : Intraoperative chest drain removal
- Chest drain is removed intraoperatively.
- PROCEDURE : Standard chest drain placement
- Chest drain is left in pleura. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age >=18 years.
* Patients referred for elective three port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery wedge resection of the lung for suspected or confirmed malignant nodules.
* first second forced expiratory volume >=60% of expected.

* Not scheduled for frozen section pathology of wedge resection and subsequent lobectomy.
* Able and willing to give informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Increased risk of post-operative air leak assessed perioperatively by the surgeon (e.g. severe adhesions, bullous/emphysematous lung tissue, defects of the visceral pleura due to iatrogenic or other reasons, suturing in the lung tissue, deep lung resection).
* Increased risk of post-operative bleeding assessed perioperatively by the surgeon (e.g. intraoperative bleeding or oozing).

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of bortezomib (Velcade), dexamethasone (Decadron) and rituximab (Rituxan) is effective in treating Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
Detailed Description
* This is an open-label study which means both the patient and the doctor will know what drugs and doses the patient is receiving throughout the study.
* Patients will receive 8 cycles of study treatment with bortezomib, dexamethasone and rituximab. Each cycle is 21 days long. Therapy is given on the first, fourth, eighth and eleventh day of each cycle, followed by a 10 day rest period. The first 4 cycles will be given one after the other. Three months after completing the fourth cycle of therapy, patients will receive one cycle of therapy every three months for a total of four more cycles.
* On the first, fourth, eighth and eleventh day of each cycle, the patient will receive bortezomib and dexamethasone as an intravenous injection through a needle in your vein. On the eleventh day only, the patient will also receive rituximab as an intravenous infusion after getting bortezomib and dexamethasone.
* Prior to each infusion of rituximab therapy, the patient will be asked to take some medications to prevent or reduce side effects of rituximab. These medications are benadryl, tylenol, and possibly more steroids. The doctor will determine which of these drugs are appropriate for the individual patient.
* During the rituximab infusion, the patients blood pressure and pulse will be monitored frequently and the infusion rate may be decreased depending upon the side effects experienced.
* After therapy is completed, the patient will be followed every three months for 2 more years for office visits and laboratory tests to determine how well they are doing and if the therapy continues to benefit them.

Brief Summary
The present investigation was conducted on 100 individuals allocated into four groups; 25 healthy controls, 25 patients having OPMDs with dysplasia; 25 patients having OPMDs without dysplasia, and 25 oral cancer patients. Demographic data including data related to different risk factors, modified gingival index, oral hygiene level, in addition to salivary levels of IL-6, IL-8 and sCD44 were assessed.
Detailed Description
Histopathologic evaluation:
Biopsy samples were obtained from all lesions to verify the diagnosis and establish the presence of dysplasia in the potentially premalignant lesions before allocating patients to their specific groups.
History and clinical assessment:
Demographic data as age and gender, medical history and habits as smoking and alcohol were obtained during patient interview. Modified gingival index (MGI), level of oral hygiene (OH) and the number of remaining natural teeth were also assessed. Subjects not willing to sign a written informed consent, pregnant females, lactating mothers, and patients with immunosuppressive disorders were excluded.
Modified gingival index (MGI) evaluates the presence and degree of gingival inflammation. A score of 0 means absence of inflammation. 1 indicates mild inflammation (slight redness) of any part of the gingiva. 2- mild inflammation of the whole gingiva. 3- moderate inflammation (moderate redness, edema, and/or hypertrophy) of the gingiva. 4-severe inflammation (marked redness and spontaneous bleeding) of the gingiva. Level of OH care was evaluated corresponding to the OH habits of the patient and efficiency of plaque removal. OH, level is scored as: 1- very good, 2- good, 3- fair, and 4- poor OH.
Collection of 1.0-2.0 mL of whole unstimulated saliva was obtained between nine and twelve in the morning, to evade diurnal alteration. Participants refrained from eating, smoking, brushing, and mouthwash use, 2 hours before to salivary sampling, which were stored at -70 ◦C till analyzed.
Quantification of salivary IL-6, IL-8, and sCD44 in all samples using an ELISA kit

Brief Summary
To determine whether colonic bubbles associated with CT colonography performed with iohexol for fecal/fluid tagging could be reduced by adding simethicone to the standard cathartic preparation.
Detailed Description
CT colonography (CTC) is a recently developed radiological examination to find colorectal neoplasia. Fecal/fluid tagging using oral administration of contrast is an essential procedure for CTC. Iohexol, which has recently started being used as an agent for fecal/fluid tagging, has great advantages as it has much more tolerable taste and much lower rates of adverse effects such as clamping or diarrhea compared with traditionally used Gastrografin/Gastroview. However, iohexol is frequently associated with an occurrence of a lot of bubbles in the colon, which makes CTC interpretation more time-consuming and laborious.
Past experience in colonoscopy field suggests that simethicone, a safety-proven highly inexpensive over-the-counter medicine, might resolve this issue. Given the fact that patient convenience is an important factor for a successful CTC and the fact that time-intensive nature of CTC interpretation is one of the major deterrents to wide spread adoption of CTC while CTC also needs to be as time efficient as possible in order to effectively serve the role of population screening for colorectal cancer, investigating the effect of simethicone to prevent the colonic bubbles on the time efficiency of CTC interpretation would be important. If simethicone can resolve the colonic bubble problem, CTC can be performed more conveniently for the patients as well as for the interpreting radiologists.
This study is to determine whether colonic bubbles associated with CT colonography performed with iohexol for fecal/fluid tagging could be reduced by adding simethicone to the standard cathartic preparation.

Brief Summary
This is an observational cohort study in men with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who received their usual treatment, which is 'Androgen receptor inhibitors' (ARIs) including darolutamide, enzalutamide, and apalutamide.
The main purpose of this study is to collect data on the length of time men with nmCRPC continued treatment with darolutamide, enzalutamide, or apalutamide as prescribed by their doctors. Researchers will only include men who had not been treated with any new type of medication that blocks the action of hormones.
The data will come from an electronic health record database called Precision Point Specialty (PPS) Prostate Cancer Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for men in the United States of America. EMR data will be verified and supplemented via patient chart review. Data collected will be from January 2019 to September 2023. .

Brief Summary
The present pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) study will explore the toxicity and antileukemic response during the initial 3 months of individualised therapy of children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The investigators will on an individual toxicity-titrated basis attempt to increase the dose intensity of the 6-mercaptopurine used in the two-months post-remission treatment phase of lower risk childhood ALL. This will be performed together with continuous PEG-ASP (every 2nd week) and interspersed HD-MTX (5 g/m\^2) every 3rd week. Thus, the trial will also test the feasibility of this particular drug combination.
Detailed Description
In addition to the details above we will also explore
* the relationship of the post-HD-MTX MRD-levels with the dose of 6MP, TPMT-activity, DNA-6TGN, E-6TGN, E-MeMP, E-MTX, and presence of ASP-antibodies,
* the early development of anti-ASP antibodies during continuous PEG-ASP therapy.
The study could improve the understanding of the pharmacodynamics of the 6MP/HD-MTX interaction in combination with PEG-ASP.
#Intervention
- DRUG : 6-mercaptopurine
- Standard dose 25 mg/m\^2/day. Can be increased up to 75 mg/m\^2/day if the myelosuppression is acceptable (ANC\>0.5 T-count \>50)

This laboratory study is looking at DNA in tumor tissue samples from young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. DNA analysis of tumor tissue may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To validate significant associations between SNPs and treatment outcome and toxicity on Children's Cancer Group (CCG)-1891 on an independent sample set from a successor CCG study for standard risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), CCG-1952.
II. To evaluate the role of SNPs in drug metabolizing enzymes and the development of veno-occlusive disease in patients on CCG-1952.
III. To evaluate interactions among genotypes and other risk factors for treatment response in a combined data set of CCG-1891 and CCG-1952 with recently developed analytic tools for high dimensional data.
IV. To develop predictive models utilizing genetic information obtained in Aim 1.1 and clinical data to predict treatment response and toxicity.
OUTLINE:
Tumor tissue samples undergo genotype assessment on the Pyrosequencing platform. Contingency tables and X\^2 test performs a univariate analysis of the risk of relapse and genotype, and multivariable analyses using logistic regression. Cox proportional hazards evaluate the risk of relapse given genotype and other confounders. Genotype patterning, classification and regression trees, and multifactor dimensionality reduction evaluates for patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with toxicity and relapse risk.

Brief Summary
The primary objective is to study the effect of communicating individual CRC risk score and screening recommendations on appropriate screening uptake at six months in individuals at low, moderate and high risk of developing CRC.
The secondary objectives:
* Assess the feasibility of a subsequent larger RCT designed to detect a change in clinical outcomes;
* Explore the impact of psychological factors (perceived susceptibility for CRC, perceived benefits from and barriers to screening) on appropriate screening uptake and participation rates.
The investigators will perform a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 880 residents from the canton Vaud (Switzerland) aged between 50 and 69 years. The QCancer calculator will be used to calculate the personalized risk score. The participants in the intervention group will receive a brochure with a personalized risk score and appropriate screening recommendations. The participants in the control group will receive the standard brochure of the Vaud CRC screening program, regardless of participants' risk level. Six months after the intervention, the investigators will measure the proportion of the participants who have undergone appropriate screening. Screening will be considered as appropriate if participants at high risk undertake colonoscopy and participants at low risk undertake FIT. Both tests are appropriate for participants at moderate-risk. The hypothesis is that in the intervention group, individuals will be more likely to undergo screening appropriate to a participant's individual risk level, whereas the choice of the screening test in the control group will not differ between risk levels.
This study should advance the field of risk-based screening. This may give insights about how to optimize CRC screening programs and offer to the population screening options with a better risk-benefit balance.
Detailed Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be effectively prevented by screening. Risk to develop CRC within 15 years is related to increasing age, sex, family history, and lifestyle and, thus, can vary from \<1% to \>15%.
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy are the most widely used screening tests. Colonoscopy is the most accurate test, but is related to risks of bleeding and perforation. Colonoscopy resources are limited, and high uptake of screening colonoscopy for low-risk individuals can cause long wait times for those with CRC symptoms or positive FIT. FIT is less costly can be done at home without preparation and, if done regularly, prevents most CRC mortality, especially in moderate and low-risk individuals. To offer the screening options with a reasonable risk-benefit balance, FIT should be recommended to individuals at low (\<3% to develop CRC in 15 years) and moderate (3-6%) risk, and colonoscopy to those at high (\>6%) risk.
The primary objective is to study the effect of communicating individual CRC risk score and screening recommendations on appropriate screening uptake at six months in individuals at low, moderate and high risk of developing CRC.
The secondary objectives:
* Assess the feasibility of a subsequent larger RCT designed to detect a change in clinical outcomes;

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether positron emission tomography (PET), using the new imaging drug \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody can be used for imaging prostate, pancreatic or bladder cancer that has spread to the bones and soft tissues (e.g., lymph nodes, lungs, etc.). The PET imaging drug tested in this study binds to the cell marker called Prostate Stem Cell Antigen (PSCA), which is present on certain prostate, pancreatic and bladder cancers.
Detailed Description
The people doing this study want to find out:
1. Can the \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody be used to image prostate, pancreatic and bladder cancer?
2. How much of the PSCA Minibody needs to be used to see the prostate, pancreatic or bladder cancer?
3. Does the PSCA Minibody see more/same/fewer lesions than are identified on traditional scans such as bone scan or CT scan?
To answer these questions, we want to evaluate how \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody is distributed throughout the body in 20 patients with prostate, pancreatic or bladder cancer. This is done with PET/CT imaging. A PET/CT scan is a non-invasive x-ray test that uses a special camera to take pictures of the inside of your body. It can 'see' the radiation given off by tiny particles called positrons in the radioactive drug injected into you while also taking pictures of the organs within the body. For this study the radioactive substance is \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody.
The scanning for this study is done with an imaging procedure in the department of Nuclear Medicine during which the experimental drug \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody will be administered by intravenous (i.v.) infusion. An experimental drug is one that is not yet approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). \[124 I\] PSCA-Minibody is a combination of a monoclonal antibody, and I-124, a radioactive type of iodine. The iodine will make the antibody and the cancer cells visible in a PET scan. PET stands for positron emission tomography and uses radioactivity to image the inside of the body. A CT scan uses x-rays to look at the internal organs in the body. This study will use a combination PET/CT to look at the cancer cells in your body that have taken up the study agent as well as to see their location in your body.

Brief Summary
The purpose of study was to characterize the safety and tolerability of long-term repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone controlled release tablets (8,16,32, and 64 mg) in patients with chronic cancer pain or chronic non-malignant pain.
Detailed Description
This was a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, extension study to characterize the safety and tolerability of long-term, repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone in patients with chronic cancer or chronic non-malignant pain. Patients with chronic cancer or chronic non-malignant pain had completed an OROS hydromorphone short-term study (DO-104, DO-105, DO-119) of approximately 4 weeks duration. During this study, patients continued to receive the dose of OROS hydromorphone that they had been receiving in the short-term study, with dose adjustments as needed to control pain and adverse events. Patients were treated on an outpatient basis. The study was extended from 1 year to up to 2 years in duration. Monthly evaluations of patients treated with OROS hydromorphone for chronic pain were performed to identify adverse events, construct a safety and tolerability profile, and assess efficacy. Dose adjustments were permitted to provide for disease progression, pain control, and adverse events. Quarterly physical examinations were performed to detect significant changes in the underlying condition of patients or changes that may have been associated with long-term opioid therapy. OROS hydromorphone 24 hour controlled release tablets in 8, 16, 32 and 64 mg were ingested orally daily up to 1 year with dose adjustments as needed to control pain and adverse events.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of docetaxel and CNTO 328 when given together as a treatment. The second goal of this study is to determine if a combination of docetaxel and CNTO 328 has an effect on prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1 open-label, multicenter, nonrandomized study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of the combination of CNTO 328 and docetaxel in patients with metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC). Eligible patients must be age \>= 18 years, have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, and have documented metastatic disease. Prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease is not allowed.The study will last for approximately 26 months. This study will be conducted in 4 phases: 1. Screening (up to 4 weeks): understanding and signing an informed consent form, physical/neurological exam, an ECG, vitals will be checked, urinalysis, a radiologic assessment, routine blood samples, study blood samples, a circulating tumor cell blood sample, a testosterone level blood sample, and a prostate specific antigen (PSA) sample. If the results show that the patient can be a part of the study, the patient will begin the run-in phase. If the results of the screening show that the patient cannot be part of the study, the patient will not receive docetaxel as part of this study or CNTO 328.Starting with the first docetaxel infusion, the patient will be required to take prednisone twice a day, until the end of Cycle 3. After Cycle 3, the study doctor will decide if and/or when the prednisone taken. Dexamethasone will be required at 12 hours, 3 hours, and 1 hour before the start of every docetaxel infusion through Cycle 3. After Cycle 3, the study doctor will decide how the dexamethasone will be taken. Antiemetics (to prevent nausea and vomiting) are also required. The study doctor will decide the dose, how often, and how these should take them 2. Run-in Phase (up to 3 weeks):The term run-in phase describes a period of time before the start of the formal study treatment. During this phase, the patient will receive only one drug, either docetaxel or CNTO 328 depending on the assigned group. Groups 1A, 2, and 3: The patient will be given docetaxel 3 weeks before the formal study treatment begins. During the next 2 weeks the patient will not receive any study drug, but will undergo certain tests and procedures. Group 1B: The patient will be given a CNTO 328 infusion 2 weeks before the formal study treatment begins. During the next week the patient will not receive any study drug, but will have certain tests and procedures. 3. Cycles 1 through 17 (14 cycles - up to 46 weeks and with additional 3 cycles -up to 55 weeks):Cycles 1 through 17 are each planned to be 3 weeks in length. All treatment groups will receive an infusion of docetaxel on week 1 of every cycle. The CNTO 328 infusion occurs based on the treatment group to which the patients are assigned. Group 1A: Patients will receive a 6mg/kg infusion of CNTO 328 every two weeks, starting on week 1, cycle 1. Group 1B: Patients will receive a 6mg/kg infusion of CNTO 328 every two weeks, starting two weeks prior to cycle 1.Group 2: Patients will receive a 9 mg/kg infusion of CNTO 328 every three weeks, starting on week 1, cycle 1. Group 3: Patients will receive a 12mg/kg infusion of CNTO 328 every three weeks, starting on week 1, cycle 1. The overall amount of CNTO 328 increases with each higher group. Therefore, Group 1A and 1B will be filled before Group 2, and Group 2 will be filled before Group 3. This allows CNTO 328 to be tested in a safer manner. The docetaxel dose remains the same for all three groups.Patients may receive up to 14 cycles of treatment provided there is no evidence of disease progression, including serum PSA progression, or unacceptable toxicity. However, patients responding to treatment with at least stable disease (SD) after 14 cycles will be permitted to receive 3 additional cycles of treatment. In addition to drug therapy, patients will receive other tests and procedures. Most of the tests required before study medication is administered and throughout the study would be done normally during any treatment for prostate cancer. However, these tests and procedures may be done more often. The following are the tests and procedures: Routine blood tests; Study blood samples; Testosterone level sample; PSA sample; Circulating Tumor Cell blood sample; Urinalysis; Physical exam/neurological exam; Vital signs; ECG (electrocardiogram); Radiological tests4. Follow-up: After patients complete treatment they will have follow-up visits including patients that discontinue treatment early. The patients will have them 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after the final treatment cycle is completed. The Week 4 visit will be the 'End of Study Visit'. There will be 3 more visits at 12, 18, and 24 weeks after the final treatment cycle. Long-term Follow-up: No matter when or why the patients leave the study, the study doctor or nurse may telephone them to ask about their health and/or look at their medical records every 3 months to check on how they are doing. They will do this for one year after the last infusion of study drug. Patients will not need to go to the study center or have any tests performed. The study center will also ask about any treatment the patient received after they completed their participation in the study . Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 will be given intravenously (into the vein) once every 3 wks for up to 17 three week cycles. CNTO328 will be administered intravenously (into the vein) over 2 hours according to one of the following regimens: 6 milligrams of medication per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg) once every 2 wks; 9 mg/kg once every 3 wks; and 12 mg/kg every 3 wks for up to 17 three week cycles.

Brief Summary
Determine the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ACY-241 in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with unresectable Stage III/Stage IV melanoma.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation cohort study. The study will consist of a dose escalation assessment of the safety and tolerability of ACY-241 administered concurrently in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab to patients with advanced melanoma. Treatment will be divided into induction and maintenance phases.
Determine the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ACY-241 in combination with ipilimumab at 1 mg/kg and nivolumab at 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses each during a 12-week induction period, then administered with nivolumab at a flat dose of 240 mg every 2 weeks in maintenance for up to 1 year in patients with unresectable Stage III/Stage IV melanoma.
It is anticipated that this clinical study will enable selection of the RP2D and dose schedule of this 3-drug combination for further clinical testing. The trial will include an assessment of the pharmacodynamic activity of ACY-241.

* Patients must not have received prior anticancer treatment for metastatic disease (for example, but not limited to, systemic, local, radiation, radiopharmaceutical).
-Exceptions: Surgery for melanoma and/or postresection brain radiotherapy (RT) if central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or prior treatment with adjuvant interferon (IFN) (as described in Exclusion Criterion 2).
* All patients must have their disease status documented by a complete physical examination and imaging studies within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. Imaging studies must include computerized tomography (CT) scan of neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and all known sites of resected disease in the setting of Stage IIIb/c or Stage IV disease, and brain magnetic resonance imaging ([MRI], brain CT allowable if MRI is contraindicated).
* The complete set of baseline radiographic images must be available before treatment initiation.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1.
* Tumor tissue from the resected site of disease must be provided for biomarker analyses

Abstract: (1) Background: Thoracic epidural analgesia is considered the gold standard in post-operative pain management following thoracic surgery. This study was designed to explore the safety of thoracic epidural analgesia and to quantify the incidence of its post-operative side-effects in patients undergoing thoracotomy for major surgery, such as resection of lung malignancies and lung transplantation. (2) Methods: This is a retrospective, dual-center observa-tional study implementing patients that underwent major thoracic surgery including lung trans-plantation and received concurrent placement of thoracic epidural catheters for postoperative an-algesia. An electronic system of referral and documentation of complications was used, and information was retrieved from our electronic critical care charting system. Side effects such as nausea and vomiting , itching, catheter related issues and also major complications such as epidural haematoma, abscess, or permanent nerve damage were investigated.
The study aims to highlight the importance of a solid documentation and recording system alongside with the implementation of safety protocols.

Brief Summary
The goal of the study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to test several office-based strategies for improving colon cancer screening among individuals who are regular patients at 16 family practice physician offices in the state of Iowa. These offices are members of the Iowa Research Network (IRENE), a rural practice-based research network. The interventions to be tested are increasing in intensity from the usual care provided in the office, to physician chart reminders, mailed educational materials to patients, a fecal immunochemical test with postage-paid return envelope, and a telephone call designed to determine attitudes and barriers to screening, and to motivate subjects to get screened. Our main research questions are: 1)do attitudes toward CRC screening change after providing educational materials about CRC screening? 2)do mailed educational materials and a FIT, with or without a telephone reminder, result in increased rates of CRC testing with the FIT?
Detailed Description
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. yet approximately half of eligible adults are not up-to-date with colon cancer screening and the rates of screening are lower among those with lower incomes and who lack insurance. A physician's recommendation for screening has consistently been show to be one of the most powerful predictors of CRC screening. Relatively few studies of CRC screening have been conducted in primary care. Disparities in CRC screening rates are seen in low socioeconomic and rural individuals who often lack resources and access to screening. Most intervention studies have been conducted in managed care settings, community health centers, Veteran's Administration or academic practices. Few studies have looked at interventions in rural medical practices. This research will address screening issues for rural patients and those residing in communities designated as medically underserved. The interventions tested in the study will focus on two key areas: educating the patient about the importance of screening, and reminding the physician about the need to discuss screening during the patient's visit.
The original goal of the study was to enroll 1500 unscreened patients aged 52 to 79 years from 16 family physician practices located in poor, rural Iowa counties. This study will test a combination of patient and physician reminder strategies designed to ensure that the patient is educated about CRC screening and receives a recommendation for CRC screening from their physician. The main outcome is colorectal cancer screening by any of the accepted methods. Rates of screening will be compared across intervention groups. We will also determine how much the interventions cost per person screened.
Patients due for screening within each practice (based on their self-report) (never screened or not up to date with screening) will be randomized to one of four groups that will receive office reminder system strategies of increasing intensity: 1) Usual care, 2) Physician chart reminder alone, 3) Physician chart reminder plus multifaceted mailed patient education, including a postage paid fecal immunochemical test, a reminder magnet, and returnable CRC screening test preference sheet, or 4) Physician chart reminder + multifaceted mailed patient education/FIT/magnet/preference sheet + telephone reminder to encourage screening and address barriers.
Our central hypothesis is that providing offices with one or more CRC screening support systems based on the Chronic Care Model will significantly increase CRC screening rates in comparison with usual care, and that such interventions will be cost-effective and accepted in practice.

Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the first-cycle maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II (RP2D) dose of Cabazitaxel when combined with Cisplatin and Follow-Up induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck for three cycles.
Detailed Description
The primary study objectives are the following:
* To assess the safety, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicity of cabazitaxel when combined with cisplatin and Follow-Up (FU) induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
* To establish the phase II recommended dose of cabazitaxel when combined with cisplatin and Follow-Up induction in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
The secondary study objectives, in regards to the combined Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil regimen in patients with newly diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, are the following:
* To assess the toxicity profile
* To assess best Overall Response Rate (complete and partial responses) after completion of 3 cycles of treatment
* To assess Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) after 3 years Analysis of the secondary variables will be primarily descriptive in nature due to the small sample size. All results will be considered hypothesis generating to be confirmed in a future study.
Patient, for whom an informed consent has been obtained and who have met the inclusion/exclusion criteria after having the screening evaluation performed within a one-week window, will be assigned to a dose level according to the dose escalation rule described in the protocol. Treatment consists of an Induction chemotherapy period, which is the period when the patient will undergo 3 cycles of Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil (PF). The Induction chemotherapy will be followed by Consolidation Therapy, which is 6-7 weeks of Chemoradiation treatment or Surgery + Recovery time, depending on their primary site and overall medical condition. Both treatment periods will consist of approximately 16 weeks (9 weeks of Induction and 7 weeks of Consolidation, if Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy (CRT)), or shorter than 16 weeks, if surgery. After three cycles, the patients will be assessed for clinical, radiographic, and pathologic response to Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil before beginning Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy or surgery. Patients, who do not complete three cycles of Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil for reasons of toxicity, progressive disease, choice, or other medical necessity, will be treated with standard Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy or surgery depending on their primary site and overall medical condition. Once the Consolidation treatment is completed, the follow-up of patients will be for 3 years.

Brief Summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well docetaxel, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, fluorouracil, and radiation therapy works compared with fluorouracil when given together with oxaliplatin and radiation therapy in treating patients with cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess and compare the pathologic complete response (PCR) rate of patients in Arm A receiving the sequence docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine (DOC) followed by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin, and radiation therapy (RT) with patients in Arm B receiving only 5-FU, oxaliplatin and RT in patients with potentially resectable adenocarcinoma (ACA) of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), or gastric cardia.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the adverse event (AE) profile and safety of the proposed treatment in this population.
II. To assess and compare the overall survival (OS) between treatment arms. III. To assess and compare the disease-free survival between treatment arms. IV. To assess and compare the clinical tumor response rate of the proposed regiments when administered before surgery between treatment arms.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Patients also receive capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of the second course, patients receive fluorouracil\* IV continuously on days 1-5 and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1, 15, and 29. Patients also undergo radiotherapy\*\* 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Approximately 4-12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, patients undergo surgery.
ARM II: Patients receive fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-5 and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1, 15, and 29. Patients also undergo radiotherapy and then surgery as in Arm I.
* NOTE: \* Fluorouracil continuous IV infusion begins within 24 hours of radiotherapy and ends within 24 hours of radiotherapy completion.
* NOTE: \*\* Radiotherapy should begin within 2-6 weeks after completion of 2 courses of docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

Brief Summary
The investigators will prospectively evaluate for the presence of amyloid deposits in soft tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing trigger finger release surgery. Patients who have tissue that stains positive for amyloid will be referred to an amyloidosis specialist.
Detailed Description
A prospective study in 2001 showed that 23% (n = 47) of biopsies for idiopathic trigger finger were positive for Congo red staining but negative for ATTR and AL amyloid via immunohistochemistry. However, mass spectrometry is now the preferred method to type amyloid tissue. Trigger finger pathology involves the same flexor tenosynovium that passes through the carpal tunnel and has been biopsied to diagnose amyloidosis. Our recent study found that 10% of older patients undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery were positive for amyloidosis, with 20% of that group presenting with cardiac involvement. 60% of the amyloid-positive group had a history of trigger finger. Surgical intervention for trigger finger could provide an opportunity to screen for amyloidosis through tenosynovial biopsy.
This study will look at the prevalence of amyloidosis in patients undergoing surgical intervention for idiopathic trigger finger. The study hypothesis is at least 10% of such patients will be positive for amyloidosis.
#Intervention
- PROCEDURE : Biopsy
- During clinically-scheduled trigger finger release surgery, soft tissue will be removed from the trigger finger tenosynovium (which may include synovial sheath and subcutaneous fat tissue) and send to pathology to be analyzed with amyloid-specific staining. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age >=50 years at the time of surgical biopsy.
* Undergoing surgical intervention for idiopathic trigger finger.
* Able to consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known history of amyloidosis.

Brief Summary
The PRISM (Promoting Resilience in Stress Management) intervention is an evidence-based program that builds resilience. This program was developed in adolescent and young adult oncology and utilizes centrally administered skills-based coaching to bolster positive psychological tools known as resilience resources. These resources include stress management, goal-setting, and positive reframing. Previous studies using this intervention have found PRISM to be successfully administered remotely and it has improved resilience, psychological distress, hope, and quality of life. Among adult caregivers, PRISM has shown to improve resilience, self-efficacy, and engagement with medical care. While PRISM successfully targets distress and associated downstream consequences known to be experienced by breast cancer survivors, it has not been utilized in adults with cancer or in marginalized communities. Adapting this intervention to this context will require the testing of the intervention and, importantly, tailoring to meet the needs of women with breast cancer, particularly those of marginalized populations who may uniquely benefit from this intervention.
Detailed Description
This single-arm pilot study will (1) test feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the PRISM intervention in individuals with breast cancer, (2) elicit patient perspectives on elements for future adaptation or expansion to meet the unique needs of women with breast cancer, (3) assess trajectory of patient-reported outcomes and biological measures of stress for patients with breast cancer receiving the PRISM intervention.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : Promoting Resilience in Stress Management Intervention
- PRISM is a manualized, brief, skills-based intervention targeting four resilience resources; PRISM is delivered by trained intervention staff (called 'coaches' within the PRISM program). Session 1, Stress-Management. Session 2, Goal setting. Session 3, Cognitive Restructuring. Session 4, Meaning-Making. Session 5 (optional), Coming Together. Session 6 (optional) involved advance care planning to discuss. | #Eligibility Criteria:
