May 20th, 2022 - The hypothesis is that the addition of daratumumab administered SC to standard MM regimens will improve responses compared to response data observed in completed phase 3 studies without daratumumab. Disease evaluations will include measurements of myeloma proteins, bone marrow examinations, skeletal surveys, assessment of extramedullary plasmacytomas, and measurements of serum calcium corrected...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: We generated an HLA-A*11:01-restricted murine T-cell receptor (mTCR) that specifically recognizes the G12V-mutated variant of KRAS (and other RAS family genes), expressed by many human cancers and constructed a single retroviral vector that contains its alpha and beta chains that confers recognition of this antigen when transduced into PBL. In co-cultures with HLA-A*11:01+ target ce...

May 20th, 2022 - This is 2 part study: Part A and Part B. Part A of the study consists of a screening period and 3 treatment periods (midazolam alone, capivasertib alone, and midazolam + capivasertib). During Part A, the PK profile of midazolam will be determined with and without capivasertib.All participants will receive capivasertib treatment (4 days on/3 days off); however, at the Investigator's discretion, ...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: There is an unmet need for less toxic and more effective treatments for virus-associated malignancies. Pomalidomide induces polyfunctional T cell, NK cell, and dendritic cell activation. Pomalidomide has shown promising activity in Kaposi sarcoma, likely due in part to immune modulation. Downregulation and/or deregulation of immune surface markers by viruses can thwart immunologic t...

May 20th, 2022 - Each year, an estimated 69 million people suffer from traumatic brain injury/concussion worldwide. In most patients with concussion, symptoms improve within 3 months. However, in some persons, symptoms persist. The cause(s) of post-traumatic headache are not entirely clear, which limits treatment options. Sometimes, these headaches are caused by irritation to the greater occipital nerve, and pa...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative option for many children with cancer and certain genetic disorders. However, recipients of stem cell transplant must deal with years of disfigurement and symptoms arising from an undesirable side effect of transplant, specifically chronic graft-versus-host-disease (cGVHD). Children living with cGVHD often face many years o...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Graft versus host disease (GVHD) and impaired immune reconstitution are major transplant complications and barriers to improving outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) for hematologic malignancies. GVHD is initiated when donor T-cells become alloreactive against recipient major or minor histocompatibility antigens. This process may be exacerbate...

May 20th, 2022 - Objectives: The primary objective is to assess if there is disruption of circadian DA rhythms in cocaine addiction. The secondary objective is to assess if dopamine modulates the sensitivity of the brain reward network in a circadian dependent manner. Study Population: Non-treatment seeking cocaine abusers (moderate or severe cocaine use disorder as per DSM-IV or DSM 5) and healthy controls. Ma...

May 20th, 2022 - The abuse of high doses of alcohol is associated with cognitive impairment that in extreme cases can result in dementia. However, the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxic effects of alcohol to the human brain are poorly understood. Here we test the hypothesis that alcohol-induced neuroinflammation contributes to its neurotoxic effects in humans Objectives: The primary objectives in Phase I are ...

May 20th, 2022 - Study Description: Individuals undergoing cisplatin-based chemoradiation therapy are at risk for developing significant, permanent hearing loss. The cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin has the potential to reduce the incidence and severity of hearing loss, as evidenced by our preclinical data in mice and our retrospective data in humans.Here we will compare hearing changes between subjects o...

May 20th, 2022 - The effectiveness of an Exparel Block (Bupivacaine Liposomal Injectable Suspension) for post-operative pain control has been well studied with encouraging results. At the investigators' institution, Exparel has been approved as a safe and effective option for use in shoulder surgeries and have had encouraging results in adductor canal use for pain control in patients undergoing TKA. Exparel has...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Irinotecan is a prodrug of an inhibitor of topoisomerase 1 (active metabolite is SN-38) with known activity in sarcomas, however it has limitations including suboptimal bioavailability and systemic side effects including severe diarrhea and bone marrow suppression. Preclinical and clinical evidence has demonstrated that prolonged exposure to topoisomerase 1 inhibition produces super...

May 20th, 2022 - The purpose of this protocol is to study the natural history of idiopathic systemic vasculitis in children and adults. The idiopathic vasculitides are a group of rare, systemic diseases involving inflammation of arteries and other tissue with resulting organ- and life-threatening disease courses. The different forms of idiopathic vasculitis are typically classified based upon the predominant si...

May 20th, 2022 - Millions of Americans provide unpaid care for aging or ill family members and friends. Caregiving for an individual with cancer who is undergoing stem cell transplantation is particularly stressful. The stress of caregiving is associated with many disorders, including sleep disturbances, depression, and anxiety. Although there is good evidence that cancer caregivers experience high levels of st...

May 20th, 2022 - Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the few most severe adverse effects of chemotherapy, which often panic patients undergoing cancer treatment. Though acute episodes of CINV are well controlled with pharmacologic agents, delayed CINV continues to present a treatment challenge. Significant progress has been made over the past many years in discovering the pathophysiology o...
