Sep 10th, 2021 - In 2013, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) provided a Grade "B" recommendation for annual lung cancer screening (LCS) for asymptomatic adults aged 55-80 who are or have been heavy smokers (≥30 pack-years of smoking and quit-date < 15 years ago), and are able to undergo surgery. In 2015, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued national coverage for LCS...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Substudy 03A is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U03). The goal of substudy 03A is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents in participants with advanced first line (1L) clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This substudy will have t...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Substudy 03B is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U03). The goal of substudy 03B is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents in participants with advanced second line plus (2L+) clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This substudy will...

Sep 10th, 2021 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the efficacy (using response rate per RECIST v1.1) of nivolumab and temozolomide for the treatment of patients with either small cell lung cancer that have progressed or recurred after prior platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy (cohort 1), or progressive metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma of any grade or primary site in any line of therapy (cohort 2)...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Study participants will receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant study treatment and then will undergo surgery for their breast cancer. After surgery, participants will receive 9 cycles of study treatment and up to 10 years of variable endocrine therapy. Each cycle is 21 days long.

Sep 10th, 2021 - Pain is one of the most common reasons for patients to visit the emergency department (ED), and can be treated using both complementary and pharmacological strategies. However, children are often undertreated for pain which results in not only short term problems, but long term consequences such as trauma and stress-induced disorders; health care avoidance as adults; increased pain sensitivity;...

Sep 10th, 2021 - The long-term objective of this proposal is to determine the correlation between FDG-PET and MRD, as measured by ctDNA in patients with early stage DLBLC. Patients will be treated with standard chemoimmunotherapy and radiation based on the recently completed SWOG S1001 study, however no radioimmunotherapy will be used (NCT01359592). Response to treatment will be determined by contemporary Deauv...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic lysine analog that inhibits plasmin fibrinolysis. It may be administered orally, intravenously, or topically, with a rapid onset of action (tmax = appx 3 hours) and 11-hour half-life. It is 6 to 10 times more potent than aminocaproic acid, another commonly used synthetic antifibrinolytic agent. Typical IV dosing is 10 mg/kg followed by infusion of 1mg/kg/hou...

Sep 10th, 2021 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I.
