Sep 10th, 2021 - Patients treated with targeted therapies by tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) almost always show different response patterns than tumors treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy. Tumor manifestations treated with targeted therapies often show only minor measurable changes in tumor size despite inhibition of tumor proliferation. Decrease in tumor size fulfilling the criteria of a partial remission acc...

Sep 10th, 2021 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate both the safety and tolerability of up to 4 dosing cycles of TAR-200 for 21 days per dosing cycle in the induction period.

Sep 10th, 2021 - Many patients with osteoarthritis of the knee fail non-operative measures and elect to have knee arthroplasty to improve their quality of life. If successful, intra-articular mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) injections into the knee may offer another viable non-operative treatment modality. Additionally, this modality may have reparative or regenerative potential, which could lead to the first treat...

Sep 10th, 2021 - The CAC score has demonstrated very powerful predictive power, particularly in asymptomatic populations. The CAC score can: 1.1- Identify subjects with high cardiovascular risk According to prospective studies, it is estimated that a CAC score> 400 is a CHD equivalent, with 10-year event rates exceeding 20% in asymptomatic patients. Prospective studies in young patients with a family history of...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Freezing of gait (FOG) is a devastating motor phenomenon which may occur in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. It is characterized by episodes during which patients cannot generate effective forward stepping movements in the absence of motor deficits. FOG leads to reduced mobility, loss of independence, social embarrassment, and caregiver stress. While...

Sep 10th, 2021 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether the fluorine F 18 DASA-23 ([18F]DASA 23) PET scan signal change from pre-therapy to one week after initiation of therapy can predict the tumor's responsiveness to therapy and 6 month progression free survival (PFS6), in suspected recurrent glioblastoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of [18F]DASA-23 PET imag...
