Brief Summary
Despite substantial progress in the treatment pediatric acute leukemia a significant number of children will experience primary or secondary resistance to the treatment. In other words it will be not possible to achieve remission using standard chemotherapy (primary resistance) or the patients will develop chemotherapy resistant relapse (secondary resistance). Children failing to achieve remission or children relapsing after previous allogeneic stem cell transplantation have short life expectancy and palliative treatment still remains the most reasonable option as the escalation of conventional chemotherapy is not longer effective.
The role of Graft versus Leukemia effect was postulated as one of the mechanisms contributing to the leukemia control/eradication after transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.
In this study the investigators combine intensified multiagent Clofarabine containing chemotherapy with post-induction treatment intensification using reduced intensity conditioning followed by haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Introducing a new drug to the treatment of resistant leukemia the investigators want to achieve a response which allows us to proceed to immediate haploidentical transplantation. Using a haploidentical donor the investigators can avoid time consuming search for an unrelated donor and perform the transplantation at the optimal time-point. Combating therapy resistant leukemia the investigators would like to evoke and utilize potential Graft-versus-Leukemia effect which is much more pronounced in the haploidentical setting, as it is well documented that allogeneic transplantation with a matched donor is not effective in resistant disease. The use of best KIR mismatch donor and post-transplant donor lymphocyte infusion will be implemented in order to develop/intensify graft versus leukemia effect.

Brief Summary
Many adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been found to have low bone density by the end of treatment. This can lead to long-term suffering in survivors due to poor bone health. Vitamin D is known to be associated with bone health and previous research has established that Vitamin D insufficiency is very common at diagnosis of ALL and worsens over the course of treatment. Researchers have also learned that a relationship exists between both Vitamin D and fat tissue and ALL and fat tissue.
In adolescents being treated for ALL as well as in early survivors, this randomized study will therefore examine the effect of Vitamin D and calcium supplementation on correcting Vitamin D insufficiency and on improving bone density in the context of changes in body composition and body fat. Bone density will be measured by a radiology exam called qCT (quantitative computed tomography) while body composition and body fat will be measured by a different radiology exam called a DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan) . The study will also examine in depth the relationship between these three elements - Vitamin D insufficiency, obesity, and ALL - and their impact on bone density.

Brief Summary
This phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy to see how well it works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To decrease the total anthracycline dose from the best current published results in standard risk childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) while still maintaining a comparable event-free survival (EFS).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assign treatment based on risk stratification by white blood cell count (WBC) at diagnosis.
II. To estimate the induction failure rate, toxic death rate, disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate in both standard and high risk APL patients.
III. To monitor for cardiotoxicity in an idarubicin/mitoxantrone based regimen. IV. To document the toxicity of a traditional chemotherapy/all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (tretinoin) based regimen combined with arsenic trioxide therapy.
V. To study the relationship of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations to clinical features and outcome in APL.
VI. To study risk factors for pseudotumor cerebri in APL. VII. To study the relationship of early progenitor cell involvement to treatment failure in FLT3 positive APL.
VIII. To compare the EFS of children enrolled on AAML0631 with the EFS of children enrolled on C9710 who were between the ages of 2 and 21 and did not receive arsenic trioxide.
IX. To estimate the proportion of patients who carry a cryptic t(15;17), i.e., those who are positive for a promyelocytes.(PML)-retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) fusion transcript by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis but have normal chromosomes.
X. To estimate the proportion of patients with variant RARA partners. XI. To compare the outcome of patients with only a t(15;17) with that of patients who carry a t(15;17) and other chromosomal abnormalities.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms based on risk factor (standard-risk \[WBC less than 10,000/mm\^3\] or high-risk \[WBC 10,000/mm\^3 or higher\]).
ARM I (STANDARD-RISK):
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive tretinoin orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-30 and idarubicin intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes once on days 3, 5, and 7.
CONSOLIDATION THERAPY:
CONSOLIDATION 1: Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, and 29-33 and tretinoin PO BID on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 5 weeks for 2 courses, followed by a 2-week break, and then treatment repeats for 2 more courses. Beginning 1 week later or when blood counts recover, patients proceed to consolidation 2.
CONSOLIDATION 2: Patients receive cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1, tretinoin PO BID on days 1-14, high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 1-3, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes once on days 3 and 4. Patients proceed to consolidation 3 1 week later or when blood counts recover.
CONSOLIDATION 3: Patients receive cytarabine IT on day 1, tretinoin PO BID on days 1-14, and idarubicin IV over 15 minutes once daily on days 1, 3, and 5. High-risk patients and those standard-risk patients who are positive for minimal residual disease by real-time quantitative (RQ)-PCR receive consolidation 4 one week later or when blood counts recover. All other standard-risk patients proceed to maintenance therapy.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive cytarabine IT on day 1 (course 1 only), tretinoin PO BID on days 1-14, mercaptopurine PO once daily (QD) on days 1-84, methotrexate PO once on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, and 78. Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for 9 courses.
ARM II (HIGH-RISK):
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive tretinoin PO BID on days 1-30 and idarubicin IV over 15 minutes once on days 1, 3, and 5. Patients proceed to consolidation therapy one week later or when blood counts recover.
CONSOLIDATION THERAPY: Patients receive consolidation 1, 2, and 3 as in Arm I.
CONSOLIDATION 4: Patients receive cytarabine IT on day 1, tretinoin PO BID on days 1-14, high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 1-3, and idarubicin IV over 15 minutes once on day 4. Patients who demonstrate molecular complete remission (CR) and remain in hematological CR proceed to maintenance therapy 1 week later or when blood counts recover.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive maintenance therapy as in Arm I.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every month for 1 year, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must be newly diagnosed with a clinical diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia initially by morphology (bone marrow or peripheral blood); bone marrow is highly preferred but in cases where marrow cannot be obtained at diagnosis, peripheral blood will be accepted; APL is considered a hematological emergency and treatment should be initiated as quickly as possible without waiting for molecular or cytogenetic/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmation; for patients who are unable to begin receiving ATRA in a timely manner following a presumed diagnosis of APL, consideration should be given to initiating ATRA and proceeding with treatment outside of the AAML0631 protocol; if the RQ-PCR results are known at the time of study enrollment, the patient must demonstrate PML-RARA and/or RARA-PML transcripts by RQ-PCR to be eligible; patients without evidence of APL by bone marrow or peripheral blood morphology but with isolated myeloid sarcoma (myeloblastoma; chloroma, including leukemia cutis) are eligible provided that the t(15;17) translocation is documented on either marrow or tumor tissue by cytogenetics, FISH, or PCR prior to study enrollment; in this situation, touch preps from the tumor site can be evaluated by FISH with PML-RARA probes; NOTE: A lumbar puncture is not required to be enrolled on study; if the diagnosis of APL is known or suspected, extreme caution must be exercised in performing a lumbar puncture during active coagulopathy; in addition a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be considered to rule out the possibility of an associated chloroma if central nervous system (CNS) disease is suspected or proven; if CNS disease is documented, patients are still eligible
* No minimal performance status criteria
* The patient must not have received systemic definitive treatment for APL or other suspected leukemia, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, retinoids, or arsenic; prior therapy with corticosteroids, hydroxyurea, or leukopheresis will not exclude the patient; if a patient received intrathecal cytarabine prior to the diagnosis of APL being known, the patient will still be eligible as long as they meet all other eligibility requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant women or nursing mothers are excluded; treatment under this protocol would expose an unborn child to significant risks; patients should not be pregnant or plan to become pregnant while on treatment; women and men of reproductive potential should agree to use an effective means of birth control; there is an extremely high risk of fetal malformation if pregnancy occurs while on ATRA in any amount even for short periods
* Patients with a pre-existing prolonged QT Syndrome will not be eligible for this protocol due to the use of arsenic trioxide which can prolong the QT interval

Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that nipple-areola skin sparing mastectomy (NASSM) performed through an inframammary incision has a superior blood supply relative to a lateral oblique incision. Moreover, by minimizing complications and optimizing aesthetic outcomes, the investigators believe it will be associated with significantly higher patient reported outcome scores. The addition of information gained by use of intraoperative laser-assisted fluorescent angiography (measured with the Spy Elite imaging device) will reduce complication rates by directing intraoperative resection of ischemic tissue and limiting the volume of immediate implant placement in instances where real time imaging would suggest compromised perfusion. These quantifiable, objective measures will justify the use of NASSM and immediate implant placement coupled with intraoperative laser-assisted fluorescent angiography in prosthetic based breast reconstruction despite longer operative times.

Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1a/b multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to examine the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of BPM31510 administered as a 144-hour continuous intravenous (IV) infusion as monotherapy(treatment Arm 1) and in combination with chemotherapy (treatment Arm 2) in patients with solid tumors.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1a/b multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to examine the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of BPM31510 administered as a 144-hour continuous intravenous (IV) infusion as monotherapy(treatment Arm 1)and in combination with chemotherapy (treatment Arm 2) in patients with solid tumors.In the Phase 1a portion of the trial, patients who meet eligibility parameters will receive 2 consecutive 72-hour infusions of BPM31510 twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday (i.e., Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 18, 22 and 25), essentially receiving BPM31510 treatment for 144 hours per week of each 28-day cycle. At each dose level of Arm 1 and Arm 2, patients will be treated for either 8 hours at minimum of outpatient monitoring or inpatient monitoring for the first 24-hrs of the first infusion of Cycle 1.All other treatments will be administered in an outpatient setting.Dose limiting toxicities will be assessed during Cycle 1.
The study is a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation design with the dose escalated in successive cohorts of 3 to 6 patients each.Toxicity at each dose level will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.02). Safety oversight will be provided by the Cohort Review Committee (CRC).The CRC will review and confirm all DLTs and will continue to monitor safety throughout the study (including Arm 2).
Assessments of the antitumor activity of BPM31510 will be performed at the end of Cycle 2 and every 2 cycles thereafter using standard techniques such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with measurable disease.Response will be evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 .Patients who experience no unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, may receive additional 28-day cycles for up to 1 year on Arm 1 or 2. Patients on Arm 1 who progress may elect to continue BPM31510 treatment in combination with gemcitabine, 5-FU, or docetaxel at the treating physician's discretion. Once a dose level of BPM31510 monotherapy is evaluated and the CRC determines it safe to escalate to the next dose level, Cohort 1 of Treatment Arm 2 of BPM31510 in combination with chemotherapy will open to accrual. Cohort 1 of Arm 2 patients will be enrolled onto one of 3 chemotherapies, gemcitabine, 5-FU, or docetaxel. Cycle 1 of combination therapy (Arm 2) is 6 weeks in duration for patients with BPM31510 administered twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday for 6 weeks and chemotherapy administered on Mondays, Days 21, 28 and 35. Cycles 2-12 are 4 weeks in duration with BPM31510 administered twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday for 4 weeks and chemotherapy administered on Mondays, Days 7, 14 and 21. Dose limiting toxicities will be assessed during Cycle 1. Response will be assessed after Cycle 2 (10 weeks) and responders who continue onto Cycles 2-12 will be assessed every 2 cycles (8 weeks). Patients who progress and crossover to Arm 2 will be reconsented and must meet eligibility before restarting BPM31510. Crossover patients are not evaluated for DLTs on Arm 2 and all cycles of combination therapy are 4 weeks in duration (Cycles 1-12). BPM31510 is administered twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays for 4 weeks and chemotherapy administered on Mondays, Days 7, 14 and 21 for all crossover patients on Arm 2. Patients will continue BPM31510 in combination with chemotherapy for a maximum of 12 cycles in the absence of intolerable toxicity and progression. Patients on Arm 2 who progress on one type of chemotherapy may not switch to one of the other chemotherapy agents in combination with BPM31510.However, if the chemotherapy component (ie, 5-FU, gemcitabine, or docetaxel) of combination therapy is discontinued due to chemotherapy-related toxicity, patients may continue to receive BPM31510 as monotherapy.
Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BPM31510 as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy are established, an expansion cohort will be enrolled (a total of 12-15 patients for monotherapy and a total of 10 patients for each combination therapy).

Brief Summary
This research study is studying a combination of two drugs as a possible treatment for Leptomeningeal Metastases.
The names of the study interventions involved in this study are:
* Ipilimumab
* Nivolumab
Detailed Description
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial.
Researchers hope to study the effects of the combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab. Many cancers use specific pathways, such as programmed death-1 (PD-1), programmed death-ligand-1 (PD-L1), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), to evade the body's immune system. Nivolumab and ipilimumab work by blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways and thus releasing the brakes on the immune system so it can stop or slow cancer.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved Nivolumab and Ipilimumab as a treatment option for melanoma, but has not approved them for use when cancer cells spread to the cerebrospinal fluid

Brief Summary
Long term survival can now be achieved in 75% of cases of pediatric cancers. However, some types of tumors (ie CNS tumors) or advanced stages (metastatic sarcomas/neuroblastomas) cannot be cured by any treatment. Thus, evaluation of new drugs or combinations are strongly needed. The recommended doses have been defined in children for TMZ (200 mg/m2/d x 5 d) and TPT (1.5 mg/m2/d x 5 d). Some preclinical and clinical studies have shown activity of both drugs in some pediatric cancers. Nevertheless, the association of the two drugs has never been evaluated. The study aims to determine Maximum Tolerated Dose and dose limiting toxicities of each drug when associated and to assess efficacy of the combination.

Brief Summary
The main purpose of the investigation is to determine if curcumin reduces NF-kB DNA binding and ultimately its downstream mediator IL-6 in patients receiving XRT for their breast cancer after having completed chemotherapy. Patients who have received prior chemotherapy will be eligible, because we have found that this enriched population is at particular risk for exhibiting increased NF-kB DNA binding and IL-6 following XRT.
Detailed Description
As many as 60% of breast cancer (BrCA) patients receiving radiation are known to develop fatigue with about 30% suffering persistent fatigue several months to years after treatment completion (12-23). The physical, psychological, and molecular mechanisms by which patients develop fatigue are poorly understood and most likely multi-factorial. One pathway that has received considerable attention is nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB)(24). The NF-kB pathway has emerged as having an important role not only in cancer treatment resistance but in the development of fatigue. NF-kB activation leads to over expression of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, all factors related to inflammation and factors that have been found to be upregulated in patients receiving radiation as well as BrCA survivors with fatigue (25-29). A recently published study looking at TNF-alpha, fatigue and cachexia in cancer patients receiving docetaxol showed that NF-kB is upregulated in fatigued patients and that agents which inhibit TNF-alpha lead to better tolerance of chemotherapy dose escalation (30). Work by our group and others has shown that ionizing radiation increases NF-kB pathway activity in circulating immune cells (as well as within breast cancer cells) and that this effect is most pronounced in women previously treated with chemotherapy (31, 32). Our work has shown that the NF-kB pathway activity in circulating immune cells is also related to fatigue development in BrCA patients treated with radiation and that patients most at risk for persistent fatigue and NF-kB pathway activity are those who have received chemotherapy for their breast cancer (31).
Curcumin, a known inhibitor of NF-kB, has been shown to decrease NF-kB activation in human participants. In a recent study, 8 grams of curcumin by mouth daily for 8 weeks was well tolerated in patients with pancreatic cancer and other pre-malignant conditions with no associated toxicities (6, 8). Although there is concern over the body's absorption of curcumin, the bioavailability of curcumin in the study of pancreatic cancer patients was shown, with peak drug levels at 22 to 41ng/mL that remained relatively constant over the first 4 weeks of treatment with 8 grams of curcumin daily (8). Clinical trials with daily dosages of 1,125 to 2,500mg have also confirmed the safety of curcumin and also shown its ability to decrease inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in post-operative patients (6, 33, 34). In vivo murine models of chronic fatigue syndrome have also shown that curcumin may also alleviate symptoms of fatigue (35). While these studies are promising, very little is known about the capacity of Meriva to inhibit NF-kB in women treated for BrCA. We hypothesize that oral Meriva, a known inhibitor of NF-kB, may be used to decrease levels of NF-kB activity in BrCA patients previously treated with chemotherapy who go on to receive radiotherapy (XRT), a carefully chosen group of patients at particular risk for high levels of NF-kB DNA binding (a direct measure of NF-kB pathway activity).
We have chosen to administer oral Meriva, 500mg BID, in our patient population based on the above data. Meriva-500 is a curcumin formulation that also contains phosphatidylcholine, derived from soy that has been shown to aid in absorption of curcumin (9), permitting a lower overall dose of curcumin. Of note, 1000 mg Meriva contains 200 mg curcuminoids (\>90% curcumin).
By decreasing activity of NF-kB and ultimately plasma IL-6, fatigue may improve in BrCA patients taking Meriva. Results from this study will contribute to the limited research available on the capacity of curcumin treatment, including Meriva, to inhibit NF-kB activation in vivo as well as symptoms of fatigue associated with excessive NF-kB pathway activity in BRCA patients.

Brief Summary
This study wants to demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of efficacy and safety of treatment with cidofovir (1%) in topical ointment or topical sinecatechins (10%) ointment versus electrocoagulation (control group) for the treatment of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN).
The target patients are Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected homosexual males.
All these patients will be randomized by a proportion of 1:1:1 setting up 3 different parallel arms of the study: control group, cidofovir (1%) group and topical sinecatechins (10%) group.
Detailed Description
This Trial addresses one of the emerging problems in patients with HIV infection, such as the high incidence of anal dysplasia and anal cancer. The study proposes to evaluate new therapeutic options in the treatment of anal dysplasia, thus trying to overcome the current limitations of electrocoagulation (moderate efficacy, high recurrence, significant patient discomfort, and significant health cost).
Topical cidofovir has shown (in a non-comparative study) efficacy and tolerance rates similar to those observed for electrocoagulation, although with the benefits of self-application by the patient. This makes it an attractive topical treatment option that requires a direct comparison with the currently chosen treatment, which is electrocoagulation.
On the other hand, the medical properties of the sinecatechins, together with the results obtained in the treatment studies of oral and cervical dysplasia, and the possibility of being self, make this drug an attractive option to be evaluated experimentally in the treatment of anal dysplasia. Finally, the identification of prognostic markers of the disease should continue to be explored, in terms of the response to treatment and the recurrence of the disease.

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes of cerebral oxygen saturation during hyperventilation and normo-ventilation (using near-infrared spectroscopy) in pediatrics undergoing posterior fossa tumor resection.
Detailed Description
Introduction:
Hyperventilation has been used for intraoperative brain relaxation for decades, Interestingly, this common practice is not based on robust evidence .
The mechanism of brain relaxation secondary to hyperventilation is attributed to the hypocapnia induced cerebral vasoconstriction and the subsequent reduction of cerebral blood volume (CBV) and intracranial volume. The CBV reduction is accompanied by the reduction in cerebral blood flow that could render the brain at ischemic risk, if the cerebral metabolic activity remains the same before and after hyperventilation. So, it is possible that inadvertent cerebral ischemia may outweigh the benefits of hyperventilation and should be subjected for further investigation.
Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a useful non-invasive tool for regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring, which provides continuous, real time information on the balance between cerebral oxygen delivery and consumption.
Cerebral oximetry monitoring had the ability to detect clinically silent episodes of cerebral ischemia in a variety of clinical settings which could be an important safeguard for cerebral function.
Hyperventilation had been shown to significantly reduce cerebral oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery.
Multiple studies have shown that prolonged hyperventilation correlated with poor outcome especially in brain injured patients. 5,6 However, there is still a lack of evidence on the relationship between hyperventilation and neurological outcome in patients having craniotomy.
However, to the best of the investigator's knowledge no previous randomized controlled trials had studied the effect of hyperventilation versus normo-ventilation on cerebral oximetry in pediatrics undergoing posterior fossa tumor surgeries.
V. Study procedure:
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial with a two-period crossover design so that the patient can act as a control to himself. Enrolled patients are children (1-6 years old) undergoing posterior fossa tumor resection. Prior to anesthetic induction, the two sensors (SAFB-SM, Covidien, Dublin, Ireland) for near-infrared spectroscopy (INVOS 5100C, Covidien, Dublin, Ireland) will be applied on the left and right sides of the forehead with the caudal border approximately 1 cm above the eyebrows to measure regional oxygen saturation (rSO2). A bispectral index (BIS) sensor will also be fixed on the left forehead (Model QUATRO, Covidien, Dublin, Ireland) to monitor the depth of anesthesia. Both sensors will be fixed to their positions using adhesive pads to avoid removal during positioning and soaking with betadine solution. Baseline values for cerebral oxygen saturation will be obtained using NIRS monitor, Standard monitors (electrocardiogram, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximeter) will be applied to all patients. The anesthetic management will be standardized for all patients as follows:
General anesthesia will be induced by inhalational agent 'sevoflurane' until intravenous line is secured then Fentanyl (1-2 µg/kg), Propofol (1-2 mg/Kg) will be given intravenously. Intubation will be facilitated by Atracurium (0.5 mg/kg) and confirmed by capnography. Nasopharyngeal temperature probe will be inserted for monitoring of core body temperature which will be kept between 36.5-37 C using warming blankets. A 22 G arterial cannula will be placed in the left radial artery and baseline ABG will be obtained to correlate value of Etco2 and Paco2. Anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane in oxygen 40% and will be adjusted to maintain BIS between 40 and 60 and Atracurium infusion (0.5 mg/kg/hr). Central venous line will be inserted in the right internal jugular vein under complete aseptic condition under ultrasound guidance, wide bore peripheral cannula will be inserted for fluid management and a Foley's catheter will be inserted in the urinary bladder for urine output monitoring. Patients will be positioned in the prone position with the arms positioned and secured at the patient's side and after careful padding of the pressure points; the patient head will be supported on the forehead using a horseshoe adapter. Slight neck flection will be permitted till the anesthetist can pass two fingers easily between the chin and the chest to allow for optimum surgical exposure. Patients will be randomly assigned using concealed envelopes, according to a computer-generated random number to one of the following two treatment sequences:
* Group 1: hyperventilation (ETco2 25-30 mm Hg) for 20 minutes that will start immediately after skin incision followed by normoventilation (ETco2 31-35 mm Hg) for another 20 minutes.
* Group 2: normoventilation (ETco2 31-35 mm Hg) for 20 minutes immediately after skin incision followed by hyperventilation (ETco2 25-30 mm Hg) for another 20 minutes. The ventilation strategies will be achieved using volume-controlled mode with a tidal volume of 8 ml/kg, I/E ratio:1/2 and ETco2 will be maintained at the desired range by adjusting the respiratory rate. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) will not be applied. After removal of the bone flap and exposure of the dura matter, a 20-gauge plastic cannula will be inserted into the subdural space along the surface of the brain. This will be connected to a calibrated pressure transducer via a length of polyethylene high pressure tubing filled with normal saline. The transducer will be zeroed at ear level. During the study period, the mean subdural pressure will be recorded at 2 minutes intervals at the end expiratory phase.
Assessment phase 1: An arterial blood sample will be obtained immediately after skin incision for blood gas analysis to determine the difference between arterial and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (Pa-ETCO2). Ventilation and ETCO2 will be kept constant for at least 20 min, which is long enough for stabilization of any vascular responses to the change in Paco2. At the end of the equilibration period (20 minutes), another arterial blood sample will be obtained to confirm that the targeted Paco2 (was achieved. The neurosurgeon, unaware of the anesthetic and ventilatory management provided, will be then asked to score the brain bulk according to a four-point scale as follows:
1. Excellent with no swelling
2. Minimal swelling, acceptable
3. Swollen but no treatment required
4. Swollen, needing treatment. After this assessment, ventilation will be changed immediately according to group assignment.
Assessment phase 2: Another 20 min of equilibration will be allowed and measurements will be repeated as previously described. During the whole period of study (40 minutes), the cerebral oximetry will be recorded at 5 minutes intervals. During this period factors that may affect cerebral oximeter will be controlled by maintaining position of the patient head, (normothermia with temperature at 36.5-37 C), within 20% of the base line blood pressure using increments of ringer solution and ephedrine boluses as appropriate, maintain PH 7.35-7.45, Hb level around 10 gm/dl guided by blood loss and repeated measurements of Hb in ABG and blood glucose level between 80-180 mg/dl. The study will be ended at this point, the subdural cannula will be removed, and surgery will proceed as normal. Specific or routine interventions for brain swelling such as a change in body position or diuretic therapy with mannitol or furosemide will not be administered until the study had ended. However, for ethical reasons, interventions will be made if requested by the surgeon and the patient will be then withdrawn from the study. Data will be collected by an independent blinded anesthesiologist using a data collection form.

Brief Summary
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat some types of sun-damaged skin and low-grade forms of growths. A cream is applied to the skin, and the chemical in this cream is absorbed in to the skin and converted in to a 'photosensitiser'. This photosensitiser is fluorescent, meaning that it produces red light when blue light is shone on it. By measuring how much light is given off with a camera, the investigators can determine how much photosensitiser is present in the skin. Also, it is thought that more of the chemical is converted to the active photosensitiser if the skin is warmer, so the investigators plan to measure the temperature of the skin using a thermal camera. Light is shone on to the skin and this activates the photosensitiser, treating the problem area and leaving healthy skin intact. This research will increase the investigators understanding of how PDT works, and may help the investigators to improve treatment regimens so that they can be made more effective and better tolerated
#Intervention

Brief Summary
Warts are benign epidermal tumors caused by human papilloma virus, which are epitheliotropic non-enveloped double stranded DNA viruses. Transmission of warts occurs from direct person-to-person contact or indirectly by fomites . Warts appear in various forms including verruca vulgaris, plane, plantar, filiform, digitate and periungual.
Detailed Description
Treatment of warts is difficult for patients and physicians . Currently Available treatment options include cryosurgery, laser, electrosurgery, bleomycin, and topical keratolytic applications; many of them are painful, ineffective, costly and prone for recurrences.
Cryotherapy, which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze tissues and destroy warts, is one of the most common and effective treatments. freezing causes local irritation, leading the host to mount an immune reaction against the virus.
Immunotherapy appears to enhance virus recognition by immune system; allowing clearance of treated wart, distant warts , and helps to prevent infection .Recently, intralesional immunotherapy using different antigens such as mumps, Candida, and tuberculin has been proved effective in the treatment of warts.
The exact mechanism of action of intralesional immunotherapy is still obscure. Intralesional antigen injection probably induces strong non specific inflammatory response against the human papilloma virus-infected cells.
It has been suggested that intralesional measles mumps rubella vaccine results in regression of warts via induction of immune system.
#Intervention
- DRUG : Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine
- MMR vaccine will be injected 0.5 ml into the largest wart at 2-week intervals until complete clearance was achieved or for a maximum of 3 treatments.
Response to treatment will be evaluated 1 month after the last session by decrease in the size of warts, decrease in the number of warts and photographic comparison. The clinical response was graded into complete (complete cure), partial (if there was a decrease in the size and\\or a decrease in the total number of warts), and no response (no change in size and number of warts).
- Other Names :
- MMR
- PROCEDURE : cryotherapy
- patients received cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen once every 2 weeks until complete clearance or for a maximum of 3 sessions.Response to treatment will be evaluated 1 month after the last session by decrease in the size of warts, decrease in the number of warts and photographic comparison.
The clinical response was graded into complete (complete cure), partial (if there was a decrease in the size and\\or a decrease in the total number of warts), and no response (no change in size and number of warts). | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients should have multiple common or plantar warts.
* No concurrent systemic or topical treatment of warts

Brief Summary
Fatigue is frequently identified as one of the most troublesome symptoms in cancer patients and there are very few conventional therapies which can address the symptom of fatigue in patients who are undergoing cancer treatment.
This study will be testing whether the administration of a complementary therapy (individualized homeopathy) to a patient undergoing chemotherapy treatment is feasible and whether this treatment can lessen the fatigue symptoms of adults. The study will also test whether the n-of-1 study design is feasible in this population.
Detailed Description
This is an n-of-1 pilot trial of individualized homeopathic treatment of fatigue in a single adult who is undergoing any type of chemotherapy administered intermittently (i.e. not continuously). The participant will have a homeopathic consultation within 3 days of a round of chemotherapy ('treatment period') and will be administered either verum or placebo according to a binary randomization allocation sequence unknown to both the clinician and participant. During the subsequent treatment period the participant will be given the other allocation (verum or placebo). The following pairs of allocations will also be randomized with treatment continuing for as long as the participant is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
#Intervention
- OTHER : Homeopathic medicine
- Intervention must begin within 5 days of chemotherapy cycle completion. Intervention will continue until the next cycle of chemotherapy. The initial consultation will involve a verbal interview between the homeopath and the participant. The practitioner will then choose a single homeopathic remedy that will focus on the reduction of fatigue. Only one homeopathic remedy and potency will be administered at a given time. The participant will be asked to take the study medication at least 30 minutes before or after taking other medications, food and strong smelling substances.
- OTHER : Unmedicated lactose/sucrose globule | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosed with any type of cancer. Patient may have newly diagnosed, relapsed or a second malignant disease.
* Receiving any type of cytotoxic chemotherapy with 6 or more cycles post study enrollment administered intermittently every two or three weeks with no planned radiation treatment.
* Is experiencing fatigue due to the chemotherapy treatments. (or has a score of 2 or higher on the fatigue item of the Symptom Distress Scale)
* Above 18 years.
* Able to ingest medications in lactose/sucrose globule or liquid form.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previous history of allergy to the homeopathic products.
* Pregnant or lactating

Brief Summary
The role of routine lymphadenectomy (LND) in the surgical treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains controversial. The investigators' multi-institutional retrospective study have showed an increasing adoption of LND among patients undergoing curative resection for ICC during the last decade. The current prospective and randomized study based on a multi-institutional collaboration would investigate whether routine LND would benefit patients in short- and long-term survival remains.
Detailed Description
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver cancer and its incidence is increasing worldwide.Resection of the primary ICC tumor site within the liver represents the best curative treatment option. However, the role of lymphadenectomy (LND) at the time of surgery remains controversial with some centers considering it standard while other surgeons perform LND only in select circumstances. The utilization of LND may not only vary among different institutions, but also by geographic region. Specifically, data from East and West centers have noted a variation in the utilization of LND ranging 27%-100%.While several case series from Asia have noted that most centers do not regularly perform LND,other data from the West suggest that LND may be becoming more routine. Despite the lack of consensus among surgeons, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging manual recommends that the nodal basin be staged. Disease-specific staging for ICC was first introduced in the 7th edition of the AJCC staging manual published in 2010. The newly updated 8th edition of the AJCC staging system now recommends that 6 lymph nodes be evaluated to stage a patient with ICC.
The previous multi-institutional retrospective study from the investigators have showed an increasing adoption of LND among patients undergoing curative resection for ICC during the last decade. The current prospective and randomized study based on a multi-institutional collaboration would investigate whether routine LND would benefit patients in short- and long-term survival remains.

Brief Summary
This is a two part study of the drug MK-8669 (ridaforolimus) given with MK-2206 or MK-0752. In Part A of the study, the preliminary maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug combinations will be found by giving sequentially higher doses of the study drugs. An expansion cohort of participants may be enrolled to confirm the MTD. New cohorts at other dose levels may be enrolled, depending on the rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the planned cohorts. In Part B, an assessment of the efficacy of the drug combinations against selected advanced cancers will be made so that a recommended dose to be used in Phase 2 studies (RPTD) can be found. As of 19 July 2012 the MK-0752 arms of the study were fully enrolled and closed to further recruitment. As of 30 November 2012, no additional participants with prostate cancer will be enrolled.

Brief Summary
To assess the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression in women receiving radiation treatment. To asses the impact of race/ethnicity on the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression during radiation therapy for breast cancer. And finally to assess the interaction between radiation-induced chemo/cytokine expression changes, and race/ethnicity, with respect to normal tissue reactions to radiation and tumor-associated outcomes.
Detailed Description
It is well recognized that the diagnostic and therapeutic gains made in the management of breast cancer over the last 2 decades are not fully realized by all groups. African American women with breast cancer have greater risk of recurrence, shorter overall survival, shorter survival after relapse, worse toxicity and worse cosmetic outcome than their Caucasian counterparts. These differences in outcome persist even when controlling for age, and stage at presentation. Being similarly treated with modern breast conserving therapy (lumpectomy and adjuvant whole breast irradiation) at recognized centers of excellence does little to alleviate the disparities in outcomes. Controlling for socioeconomic factors decreases the severity of these disparities, but it does not completely explain them. Theories abound as to the cause of outcome inequality. Many of these theories take either a psychosocial, or biologic bent. One potential biologic cause may be chemokine and cytokine expression.
Chemokines and cytokines (chemo/cytokines) are proteins and peptides used for cell signaling. Primarily secreted by T cells and macrophages, they influence cellular activation, differentiation, and function and act as mediators for inflammatory and immune responses. There has been substantial research linking some of these chemo/cytokines \[Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), interleukin (IL)-6,and IL-8\] to tumor promotion and progression. For example, TNFα has been linked to greater cell survival despite genomic injury which in turn leads to greater genetic alterations and malignant transformation. TNFα has been associated with breast cancer progression and metastases. Blocking the receptor for PDGF appears to decrease the metastatic potential of breast cancer cell lines. TGFβ inhibits T cell and B cell lymphocytes and natural killer cell cytotoxicity. This immuno-suppression has been shown to promote tumor progression in mammary cancer cells lines. The ability of TGFβ to promote tumor progression is so well recognized that it has become a therapeutic target by some researchers. Interferon gamma (IFNγ) has been shown to inhibit mammary cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, Lyon et al reported significantly higher circulating levels of TNFα, IL-6, and IL-8 in women with breast cancer compared to women with a negative breast biopsy. Additionally, researchers have directly correlated increased levels of IL-6 with the development and progression of breast cancer, and decreased overall survival (OAS). Conclusion: Expression of certain chemokines and cytokines is associated with development and progression of breast cancer.

Brief Summary
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder of reproductive, endocrine and metabolic functions. Vitamin D has an influence on metabolic and reproductive functions. This study was designed to explore the levels of free 25 hydroxy cholecalciferol \[25(OH) D\] in PCOS patients. We also aimed to clarify the impact of vitamin D supplementation on cardiometabolic status, androgen profile and clinical features of PCOS.
Detailed Description
Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder affecting 510% of women of reproductive age. It is a disorder that affects the reproductive, endocrine and metabolic functions and is the leading cause of chronic anovulation leading to infertility.
PCOS is characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic oligo or anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Hyperandrogenism, in particular, is a hallmark feature of PCOS because it is strongly implicated in the genesis of the disorder; and is also associated with metabolic derangements that contribute to the underlying pathophysiology. Also, it is associated with cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome.
Vitamin D (VD) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods and available as a dietary supplement. It is a steroid hormone with pleiotropic effects. In addition to the main effects of VD on bone and calcium metabolism, it has other roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation.
VD deficiency is now recognized as pandemic disease. Its prevalence varies according to geographic location, season, ethnicity and the standard laboratory value; of what is considered normal, deficient and insufficient. VD deficiency is a risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, and various cancers . Accumulating evidence suggests that VD deficiency might be a causal factor in the pathogenesis of IR and the metabolic syndrome in PCOS. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measured by ultrasound is a noninvasive, safe, low-cost, reproducible, and well-validated marker of preclinical atherosclerosis.
PCOS is the most frequent endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age and VD deficiency is a key problem in PCOS patients conversely, the basic mechanisms underlying the favorable effects of vitamin D in PCOS are still obscure. Resolving this mechanism may provide insight into the pathophysiology of this syndrome. It can also offer a new therapeutic option for PCOS women. Thus, in the present study was designed to explore the levels of free 25 hydroxyvitamin D \[25(OH) D\] in PCOS patients. We also aimed to clarify the impact of vitamin D supplementation cardiometabolic status, androgen profile and clinical features of PCOS. Methods This placebo-controlled trial comprised 95 women with PCO recruited from Outpatient Clinics of the Endocrinology Unit of Internal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology Departments, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University, Egypt and 50 healthy women matched to PCOS women as regard age and ethnic origin. The diagnosis of PCOS was based on the 2004 revised Rotterdam criteria .. All women underwent the menstrual history and thorough clinical examination. All patients were assessed at the study start on the third day of a spontaneous or progesterone-induced menstrual cycle. Anthropometric measures were estimated, including waist/hip ratio, height and weight then we calculated body mass index (BMI). We estimated the hirsutism score according to Ferriman and Gallwey. .Ovarian volume and antral follicular count (AFC) were evaluated by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). PCOS patients were randomized divided to the intervention group (n=55) received vitamin D supplements (42,000 IU oral vitamin D per week and 500 mg calcium carbonate per day for 12-week), and non-intervention group (n=40) received 500 mg calcium carbonate per day for 12-week. The exclusion criteria for all women included a history of hyperandrogenic states (such as nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen-secreting tumors, Cushing's syndrome, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, or hyperprolactinemia), DM, hypertension, liver, kidney, or thyroid diseases. In addition, subjects on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and multivitamin, as well as patients treated with hormone replacement therapy. At the start of the study, the participants were asked to maintain their usual diet and level of physical activity throughout the study period as well as not to receive any lipid-lowering medications and medications that might affect their reproductive physiology during the 12-week intervention. At baseline and at the endpoint of the 12 weeks of study, anthropometrical measurements were estimated as well as and blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses. Written informed consent was taken from all of the participants after explaining details and benefits as well as risks to them. The ethical committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University approved our study protocol.
2.1. Sampling of blood Blood samples were drawn from all subjects during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycles. One ml was collected into tubes containing fluoride for fasting plasma glucose (FPG). A second remaining part underwent immediate serum separation and was stored at -20 ◦C until analysis serum. calcium, phosphate, albumin were measured. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides levels were determined using routine enzymatic methods (Spinreact, Girona, Spain). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were calculated using the Friedewald formula.
2.2. Immunochemical assays: We measured prolactin, FSH, and LH levels via chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIA) provided by (Immunospec Corporation, CA, USA). Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations were measured using high sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) (Biosource, Nivelles, Belgium). We determined to fast insulin, FSH, LH, total and free testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels using ELISA kits (DRG International, USA). We calculated insulin resistance (IR) with the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) index, which is defined as fasting serum insulin (FSI) value (µU/ml) × fasting plasma glucose value (mg/dl)/405. The B cell function was calculated using HOMA- B as (20× (fasting insulin µU/mL)/ (fasting glucose (mmol/l) - 3.5).
2.3.Determination of serum vitamin D levels Serum concentrations of 25(OH)-D were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, \[Cat No. EQ 6411-9601, Euroimmun Medizinische Labordiagnostika AG, Germany\]. Current recommendations define VD deficiency as serum 25(OH)-D levels less than 20 ng/ml and VD insufficiency less than 30 ng/ml.
2.4. Carotid ultrasonography Carotid artery atherosclerosis was determined by one examiner for all patients across all six sites, using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound (M-Turbo®, SonoSite, Washington, Bothell, USA), according to American Society of Echocardiography protocol.

Brief Summary
This study compares the effects of a standard smoking cessation treatment, including one-time brief counseling and provision of nicotine patch plus an 8-week moderate intensity exercise program versus the same standard smoking cessation treatment plus equivalent contact control among 60 healthy women. We hypothesize that participants in the smoking cessation plus moderate intensity exercise condition will be more likely to quit smoking than participants in the smoking cessation treament plus contact control condition.
Detailed Description
This study compares the effects of a standard smoking cessation treatment, including one-time brief counseling and provision of nicotine patch plus an 8-week moderate intensity exercise program versus the same standard smoking cessation treatment plus equivalent contact control among 60 healthy women. A number of techniques will be used to increase compliance with the treatment program, thus more effectively isolating the effects of exercise. These include: (1) a two-week run-in period prior to randomization; (2) use of behavioral contracting prior to participant randomization; and (3) performance of all exercise on-site. Smoking cessation outcomes (continuous abstinence and point prevalence abstinence) will be verified by carbon monoxide and saliva cotinine. Physical activity will be evaluated by attendance at the supervised sessions. We hypothesize that participants in the smoking cessation plus moderate intensity exercise condition will be more likely to quit smoking than participants in the smoking cessation treament plus contact control condition.

Brief Summary
The Whipple procedure is associated with increased readmission rates for infection, pancreatic leak, and failure to thrive/malnutrition. The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence based perioperative nutrition plan to improve patient outcomes. The study has two specific aims including evaluation of feasibility of implementing an evidence based perioperative nutritional plan for patients undergoing Whipple and evaluation of impact of a standard perioperative nutritional plan on primary outcome of readmission rate and secondary outcomes of readmission cause, length of stay for initial hospitalization and/or readmission, post surgical complications (surgical site infections, pancreatic leak, sepsis, delayed gastric emptying), and nutritional status (PG-Subject Generated Assessment scores, BMI, albumin, pre-albumin, and method of oral intake). Categorical variables including readmission rate, readmission cause, post-surgical complications and nutritional status will be compared by chi-square test between intervention and control group. Length of stay for initial hospitalization and readmission will be compared by non parametric Wilcoxon test between two groups. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the sample. There are no risks to the study participants.

Brief Summary
This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, treatment continuation or 'rollover' study was designed to provide continued access to eligible subjects who had previously participated in a GSK2110183 study (parent study) sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) or another research organization working on behalf of GSK. Eligible subjects had previously received clinical benefit from continued treatment and had to have ad an acceptable safety profile with GSK2110183. Subjects who had participated in a GSK2110183 combination study with an approved anti-cancer agent were also be eligible to enroll in this rollover study. Subjects who participated in combination studies with two investigational compounds (one being GSK2110183) were not eligible for this rollover study. Subjects were enrolled by cohort based on the duration and treatment received while in their parent study. Safety assessments (physical examinations, vital sign measurements, 12-lead electrocardiograms, echocardiograms or multiple-gated acquisition scans, clinical laboratory assessments and monitoring of adverse events) were evaluated during this study. Disease assessment were performed using local standard of care imaging practices and criteria appropriate for disease type and location.

Brief Summary
Ipilimumab adds a clinical benefit to radiation therapy in patients with melanoma metastatic to the brain.
Melanoma is the third most common cancer causing brain metastases, after cancers of the lung and breast, which appears to reflect the relative propensity of melanoma to metastasize to the central nervous system (CNS). Brain metastases are responsible for 20 to 54 percent of deaths in patients with melanoma, and among those with documented brain metastases, these lesions contribute to death in up to 95 percent of cases, with an estimated median overall survival ranging between 1.8 and 10.5 months, depending upon other prognostic factors.
Ipilimumab is an anti-Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (anti-CTLA4) monoclonal antibody that has demonstrated a clinically relevant and statistically significant improvement in overall survival, either alone (second line) or in combination with dacarbazine (DTIC) in 1st line.
Ipilimumab has shown activity against brain metastases.
According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved label for Yervoy®, the use of glucocorticoids at baseline (commonly prescribed when brain metastases are diagnosed) should be avoided before the administration of ipilimumab. Data show that the use of even high doses of glucocorticoids for the management of immune-related adverse events do not decrease the efficacy of Yervoy®. There is no documented experience on the efficacy of Yervoy® when given concomitantly with radiation therapy and glucocorticoids.
In experimental models, radiation therapy is synergistic to anti-Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (anti-CTLA4) strategies (abscopal effect).
There are no published results from clinical trials on the interaction between radiation therapy and ipilimumab.

Brief Summary
For patients with Prostate Cancer advances in medical technology have enabled us to identify 'accessory' (additional) pudendal arteries (called APA) while performing a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (a scope with a video camera is used during the surgery). APAs running near the prostate gland are identified in approximately 1 in 3 to 4 patients. However, large APAs, like the ones looked for in this study, are identified in 15-18% of all patients. These arteries are preserved more than 80% of the time, depending on their size and location.With this study, we plan to evaluate whether APAs supply blood to the penis and male erections, as well as the amount supplied.
Detailed Description
Overall, approximately 50% of patients become impotent (inability to achieve or maintain an erect penis; also called erectile dysfunction) after radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate). It is already known that postoperative (after surgery) erectile dysfunction does not depend solely on the preservation of the nerves going to the penis, but also to the preservation of the arteries bringing blood to the penis.
Although, the presence and frequency of APAs have been studied, and the ability to preserve them has also been noted, we still do not know how much these arteries contribute to a male's erection. With this study, we plan to evaluate whether APAs supply blood to the penis and male erections, as well as the amount supplied. While there is no immediate benefit to you for participating in the study, these findings will further help our understanding of APA's and the importance in preserving them during surgery.
The primary aim of this study is to determine the proportion of men with APAs for whom APAs contribute to penile blood flow. The secondary aim is to describe peak systolic, diastolic and resistive index velocities of the dorsal artery of the penis before and after clamping of the APA.
#Intervention
- PROCEDURE : Trimix Injection with Doppler Ultrasound
- In case a large APA was identified, it will be dissected following the usual technique. Upon completion of the dissection, patients will have intracavernosal injection of 10 units (0.1 ml) of a Trimix administered (PGE1 10 mcg/ml, papaverine hydrochloride 30 mg/mL and phentolamine mesylate 1mg/mL.
Once the patient achieves a pharmacologic erection, the initial Doppler Ultrasound is completed, the accessory pudendal artery will be temporarily clamped to stop blood flow. After the artery is clamped, the Doppler Ultrasound will be repeated. We estimate an extension of the surgery no longer than 5 or 10 minutes in comparison to the usual operating time. Once the Doppler Ultrasound is completed, the clamp will be removed and the surgery continued in its usual fashion. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* They have selected a LRP, with or without robotic assistance, by Jonathan Colelman, MD, Bertrand Guillonneau, MD, Vincent Laudone, MD, Raul Parra, MD, or Karim Touijer MD for definitive treatment of their prostate cancer after a full discussion of treatment options.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients undergoing Open Radical Prostatectomy
* Patients with prior history of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
* Patient who have received prior radiation therapy to the pelvis or prostate

Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to assess the effects of cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) in the post transplant setting to prevent onset of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The primary objective is to determine the incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD following Allogeneic (allo) Hematopoeitic Cell Transplant (HCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) for patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched unrelated (MUD) and mismatched unrelated (MMUD) donors. Other objectives for this study will be the determination of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) following allo HCT and assess the safety of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) for MUD and MMUD transplantation. Disease recurrence and time to recurrence in patients receiving post-transplant cyclophosphamide compared to historical control without post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) will also be evaluated. Other objectives will be to determine the time of onset, severity, responsiveness to treatment, organs involved of acute and chronic GVHD as well as observation of Immune Reconstitution over time.

Brief Summary
A Study of Bafetinib as Treatment for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL).
Detailed Description
Bafetinib is a dual protein kinase inhibitor, targeting both bcr/abl and Lyn kinases. B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells overexpress Lyn kinase compared to normal B lymphocytes as well as acute leukemias (ALL and AML), and inhibition of Lyn kinase induces apoptosis in cultures of B-CLL cells. Thus, bafetinib may stop the growth of B-CLL cells by inhibiting Lyn kinase, the molecule that couples the B cell receptor to downstream signaling.

Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy, combined with imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, STI571) given for 8 courses over 6 months, followed by maintenance imatinib mesylate plus chemotherapy for 2 years, followed by imatinib mesylate indefinitely can improve Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Detailed Description
Before treatment starts, patients will have a complete exam, including medical history and documentation of disease, blood, and marrow tests. A chest x-ray will be taken. CT scans may be taken if needed. A bone marrow sample will be taken through a large needle. An EKG and MUGA (heart function tests) will be performed.
During treatment, patients will give blood samples (about 1 tablespoon each) at least twice a week. A bone marrow sample will be repeated 2 and 3 weeks from the beginning of treatment to check on response. After two courses of chemotherapy, the tests done before treatment will be repeated to check for response.
All patients will receive 2 kinds of chemotherapy courses for a total of 8 courses. Chemotherapy courses will be given through a large vein by a central venous catheter (a plastic tube usually placed under the collarbone). Imatinib mesylate will be given as a pill with the chemotherapy.
Course 1 will start with cyclophosphamide given by vein over 2-3 hours every 12 hours for 6 doses over 3 days (Days 1,2,3). Mesna will be given by vein continuously for 4 days with the cyclophosphamide to protect the bladder. Doxorubicin will be given by vein over 24 hours on Day 4. Vincristine will be given by short infusion on Days 4 and 11. Dexamethasone (a steroid) will be given by mouth or by vein on Days 1-4 and 11-14. The imatinib mesylate will be given by mouth with breakfast and a large glass of water daily on Days 1-14. Medicines will be given to prevent nausea and to protect the kidneys from increased amounts of uric acid, which may be released when leukemia cells die.
G-CSF (growth stimulating colony factor) will be given after completion of the chemotherapy. It is given to allow for rapid recovery of the normal marrow. G-CSF will be injected under the skin until the counts recover. Treatment to the brain will be given inside the spinal fluid with methotrexate around Day 2 and cytarabine about day 7. This is done to prevent the leukemia from developing there.
For patients aged 60 years or older, this Course 1 will be given in a protective isolation room to decrease the risk of infection(s).
During Course 2, patients will be given methotrexate by infusion over 24 hours on the first day and cytarabine at a high dose over 2 hours every 12 hours for 4 doses (Days 2 and 3). Citrovorum factor (leucovorin), an antidote for side effects of methotrexate, will be given by vein or by mouth for 2-3 days (Day 2 and on). Solumedrol (a steroid) will be given by vein every 12 hours for 6 doses. Imatinib mesylate will be given by mouth with breakfast and a large glass of water on Days 1-14 or daily, depending on tolerance with Course 1. G-CSF will be given as in Course 1. The treatment to the brain inside the spinal fluid will be given as in Course 1 around Days 2 and 7.
The chemotherapy will alternate between hyper-CVAD plus imatinib mesylate (Courses 1, 3, 5, and 7) and methotrexate/cytarabine plus imatinib mesylate (Courses 2, 4, 6, and 8) to complete a total of 8 courses. G-CSF will be given as in Course 1. Anti-nausea medicine will be given with each course of chemotherapy. The urine will be alkalized to protect the kidneys. Antibiotics will be given by mouth to prevent infection.
After the 8 courses, monthly maintenance chemotherapy plus imatinib mesylate will be given. This includes daily imatinib mesylate, monthly vincristine by vein, and prednisone by mouth for 5 days every month. Maintenance chemotherapy will be given for a total of 24 months, and will be interrupted by 2 periods of intensive chemotherapy courses with hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate at 6 and 13 months from the start of maintenance. Imatinib mesylate will be continued daily as tolerated indefinitely.
After two courses of the intensive chemotherapy, the response to the treatment will be evaluated. If the leukemia is responding, the therapy will be continued. Patients will be taken off study if the leukemia starts to get worse.
During and after completion of treatment, patients will have a complete exam, including blood tests. If needed, a chest X-ray or CT scan will be done. A bone marrow sample will be taken through a large needle. Patients will then return every 2 to 3 months for a checkup, including blood and bone marrow. X-rays and heart studies (MUGA or ECG) may be repeated if needed.
An Ommaya reservoir may also be placed surgically as a route to treat leukemia in the brain or to prevent leukemia in patients who have difficulty with the spinal treatments. An Ommaya reservoir is an access port inserted under the skin of the scalp that enters into the spinal fluid cavity of the brain.
Treatment will be given on an inpatient basis (3 to 5 days) for the 8 intensive courses of chemotherapy, or as indicated by the clinical condition. The maintenance treatments will be given as an outpatient, except for the courses of hyper-CVAD and imatinib mesylate.
This is an investigational study. The FDA has approved imatinib mesylate for use in chronic myelogenous leukemia and other clinical research studies. About 55 patients will take part in this study. All will be from MD Anderson.

Brief Summary
In this study, patients who have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive imatinib (Gleevec) either for 12 or for 36 months following surgery. The study participants are required to have a histologically verified GIST with a high risk of GIST recurrence despite complete removal of all macroscopic GIST tissue at surgery. The high/very high risk of recurrence is defined as one of the following: 1) the largest tumor diameter is over 10 cm; 2) the mitosis count is high (over 10 mitoses per 50 high power microscope fields, HPFs); 3) the largest tumor diameter over 5 cm and the mitosis count is over 5/50 HPFs; 4) tumor spillage has taken place into the abdominal cavity at the time of surgery or following spontaneous tumor rupture. All study participants will receive imatinib 400 mg/day orally, but the duration of imatinib administration will be determined randomly (either for 12 or for 36 months). The study participants will be followed up using blood tests and computed tomography (or MRI) of the abdomen. The computed tomography examinations will be performed at 6 month intervals for a median of 5 years. A total of 280 patients will be entered into the study. The study hypothesis is that adjuvant imatinib may prevent some of the GIST recurrences, and that there may be a difference in the rate of GIST recurrence between the two groups.
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, randomized, prospective, phase III, multicenter study carried out in the Nordic countries and in Germany. Following macroscopically complete surgery, the study participants will be allocated to receive imatinib either for 12 or for 36 months. At randomization, the patients are stratified into 2 strata: 1) local disease (1 GIST tumor); 2) intra-abdominal implants or resectable intra-abdominal/hepatic metastases, or intra-abdominal spillage is present, or R1 surgery has been carried out (microscopic disease has been left behind). The imatinib dose is 400 mg/day administered with food. Imatinib dose adjustments are made as per protocol.
Medical history, current medication, weight, height, and ECOG performance status are recorded prior to study entry. Physical examination, blood cell counts, blood biochemistry, pregnancy test, chest X-ray or CT, and CT or MRI of the abdomen and pelvis are carried out/measured prior to study entry. FDG-PET is an optional staging examination. Research serum samples are collected for banking prior to initiating imatinib and at 6-month intervals during the study. Tumor tissue is reviewed centrally to confirm the histological diagnosis of GIST, and KIT and PDGFRA gene mutation analyses will be performed from stored GIST tissue.
The study participants are monitored during adjuvant treatment and following adjuvant treatment. Physical examination, weight and ECOG performance status are assessed at 4- to 26-week intervals. Adverse events are collected using structured forms at the times of the evaluation visits. Blood cell counts and blood biochemistry are measured at 2- to 6-week intervals during imatinib therapy, and at 6-month intervals following completion of adjuvant therapy. CT or MRI examinations of the abdomen and pelvis are performed at 6-month intervals during the study.

Brief Summary
This research is a randomized smoking cessation trial conducted within and specifically personalized for lung cancer screening patients presenting to a lung screening clinic. Novel tobacco treatments for this population are critically needed, given the growing population of lung screening patients, which will grow dramatically now that lung screening is an approved CMS benefit. In the proposed study, we will test a gain-framed messaging intervention specifically designed for lung screening patients (vs. unframed messaging), as well as evaluating NRT sampling (vs. no medication) at 2 study sites. Our project is designed to be translational (in that it can be transferable from our controlled efficacy study to other lung screening programs).

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether the use of advanced radiation therapy delivery techniques can spare a patient's normal tissue, including salivary glands, from radiation. This study is being done to try to reduce radiation side effects, especially mouth dryness, which happens with standard radiation methods. In order to reduce these side effects, other normal tissues may receive a different radiation dose (sometimes more) than what would have been received using standard radiation therapy. A secondary goal of this study is to determine if the type of tumor a patient has can be controlled at least as well (or better) using this advanced radiation therapy delivery technique as it would be if the patient was treated with standard radiation therapy.
Detailed Description
Studies show that a dose response relationship in the salivary glands exists and that it may be possible to improve significantly post-radiation xerostomia and quality of life if radiation techniques can be devised that would spare the salivary glands while adequately treating the targets. A new treatment modality (computer-optimized IMRT) facilitates increased sparing of noninvolved tissue, specifically the sparing of both parotid glands, and more conformal high-dose delivery to the bilateral neck targets in patients with head and neck cancer. This study will evaluate the benefits regarding xerostomia-specific and general QOL in patients receiving head and neck RT using this modality. Assessment of swallowing dysfunction and aspiration will be made using videofluoroscopy. In addition, this study will evaluate the pattern of local/regional tumor recurrence, to assess whether sparing both parotid glands may cause tumor recurrence in spared neck areas.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of BEBT-908 for injection in the treatment of recurrent refractory malignant lymphoma, multiple myeloma and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia, and to obtain the pharmacokinetic data and preliminary efficacy of BEBT-908 for injection, and to explore the relationship between the safety and efficacy of BEBT-908 for injection and related biomarkers.
Detailed Description
This study is divided into two stages: dose increasing stage and expanding into the group.
Dose escalation phase: The initial dose was 10mg/m2, and the subsequent dose group was increased by 100% until the first case of grade 2 non-blood toxicity or grade 3 hematological toxicity related to the test drug and no dose-limiting toxicity, then the dose was increased by 50%, and a total of 5 dose groups were designed. In this stage, all subjects received a single dose first and were observed for 6 days. After the end of the observation period, if the subjects were safely tolerant to a single dose,then will receive the same dose of treatment for a cycle, administration regimen is 3 times a week, continuous administration for 2 weeks, withdrawal for 1 week, a total of 21 days as a cycle.
Dose expansion phase: according to the results of pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of BEBT-908 for injection obtained in the dose escalation phase, we plan to select two doses to further observe the safety, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of BEBT-908 for injection in about 20-40 subjects with non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma. In this stage, all dose groups were administered continuously for 2 weeks and stopped for 1 week for a total of 21 days,until the disease progresses or withdraws.
Participants will need to understand the requirements and risks of the trial, sign an informed consent form, accept the dosing regimen required by the trial protocol, and follow the investigator's guidance.

Brief Summary
This study verifies whether integrated Early Palliative Care for advanced cancer patients diagnosed due to a solid tumor improve quality of life and enhances the ability to overcome the current crisis.
Detailed Description
Previous reports suggest that starting palliative care early in cancer patients appears to improve patient's quality of life, symptom management, depression, and anxiety.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the introduction of early palliative care services to advanced cancer patients. Eligible patients are 20 years or older, and has an advanced cancer diagnosis (histologically or cytologically confirmed) due to a solid tumor, a European Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, an estimated life expectancy of 12 months or less. The primary goal of an integrated early palliative care program is to improve the overall quality of life of patients and their families. Secondarily, it is to help understand the disease, resolving conflicts in the decision-making process, improving the crisis coping capacity, and further determining the patient's and family's advanced care planning. At last, it is desired to evaluate the effect of the program on overall medical cost savings and 1 year survival.
Participants of the study will be allocated in the intervention group and the control group equally. Within three weeks from the time of randomization, the first meeting with a palliative care team will be held. In the time of baseline questionnaire, patients will be provided with self-study education materials and videos on the early palliative care and advance care planning. Once in every three weeks for six months, which is the duration for one treatment course, palliative care for advance care planning, symptom control, and other mental, social and spiritual problems will be provided. After the first meeting with the palliative care team, telephone coaching will be performed once a week for the first 12 weeks and then every two weeks until the end of the study.
#Intervention

Brief Summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study of Iodine I-131 Anti B1 Antibody (Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab) for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who were previously treated with rituximab antibody. Patients must have been treated with at least 4 doses of rituximab and have progressed during or following rituximab therapy.
Patients will undergo two dosing phases of study. In the first phase, termed the 'dosimetric dose', patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) over 70 minutes immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion of Anti-B1 Antibody (35 mg) which has been radiolabeled with 5 mCi of Iodine-131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained on Day 0; Day 2, 3, or 4; and Day 6 or 7 following the dosimetric dose. Using the dosimetric data from three imaging timepoints, a patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 will be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy. In the second phase, termed the 'therapeutic dose', patients will receive a 70-minute infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion of 35 mg Anti-B1 Antibody labeled with a patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 to deliver a whole body dose of 75 cGy to patients with no hematologic risk factors. Patients who have platelet counts of 100,001-149,999 cells/mm3 will receive 65 cGy and patients who are obese will be dosed based upon 137% of their lean body mass. Patients will be treated with either saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, or potassium iodide tablets starting at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion of the Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., dosimetric dose) and continuing for 14 days following the last infusion of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., therapeutic dose).
The endpoints of the study are to determine the response rate, complete response rate, duration of response, and time to progression or death, based on both a Masked Independent Randomized Radiographic and Oncologic Review (MIRROR) panel and the Investigators, and the Investigators' assessment of safety and survival of survival of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody therapy in NHL patients who have previously been treated with rituximab.
#Intervention
- BIOLOGICAL : Anti-B1 Antibody and Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab)

Brief Summary
HA35 (Bioactive HA or B-HA or HA35) have good tissue permeability (B-HA injection, Ministry of Health, Registration number L20200708MP07707). HA35 might not lose HA's bioactivities of binding to a variety of hyaluronan's binding proteins or receptors, including the analgesic and anticancer effects of hyaluronan, therefore being named bioactive HA or B-HA (10) (B-HA injection, Ministry of Health, Registration number L20200708MP07707).
Detailed Description
The previous study has shown that naked mole rat who has high tissue content of hyaluronan and its fragments is insensitive to pain. The previous study has also shown that hyaluronan modulates pain-regulated TRPV1 channel opening, reducing peripheral nociceptor activity and pain. The previous study has again shown that local injection of 35kDa hyaluronan fragment HA35 is effective in treating inflammatory and neuropathic pain. This study employs freshly made HA35 injection for treatment of pain associated with radiotherapy for treatment of colorectal and rectal cancer. A numerical rating scale from 0 to 10 was used to assess the pain after 1 hour, 3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours of the injection.
#Intervention
- DRUG : HA35
- All the freshly made HA35 or B-HA samples were diluted to a final concentration of 5 mg/ml. The filter membrane with 220nm pore size was used to filter freshly made HA35 or B-HA injection in order to test its human tissue permeability as \<220nm nino-particle. | #Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* All patients had different degrees of metastasis of the cancers, including bone metastasis.

Brief Summary
This is a randomized trial to evaluate the effects of a community-based intervention on increasing cervical cancer screening rates in underserved Korean American women. Due to the multiple factors that contribute to screening uptake, an educational program customized to Korean culture combined with navigation assistance may be effective in increasing the number of Korean American women who can access cervical cancer screening.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of a culturally-appropriate educational intervention compared to a general cancer health education program in increasing cervical cancer screening among Korean American women.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine the effects of a culturally-appropriate intervention on women's knowledge, psychosocial beliefs about cervical cancer and screening, and barriers to screening compared to a general cancer health education program.
II. To examine the extent to which changes in knowledge, psychosocial beliefs, and barriers mediate the effects of the intervention on screening behavior.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I (INTERVENTION CONDITION): Participants undergo a culturally appropriate, church-based intervention comprised of four components: 2-hour small group education sessions delivered at church sites by professional, bilingual community health educators (CHEs) that include culturally appropriate visual aids and print materials in Korean; navigation assistance, including language services, appointment scheduling, and transportation assistance from CHEs and church health workers (CHWs); referrals to Pap test sites; and a 6-month reminder letter for screening.
ARM II (CONTROL CONDITION): Participants undergo 2-hour general health and cancer education by bilingual CHEs, which covers nutrition, regular check-ups, tobacco use, and cancer screening. Participants also receive pre-existing written material produced by the American Cancer Society (ACS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)., and are advised to seek regular preventive health services.
After completion of study, participants are followed up post-intervention and at 12 months.

Brief Summary
The emergence of cognitive disorders after surgery under general anesthesia (GA) is the second leading cause of patient complaints (after dental debris caused by intubation techniques). These cognitive disorders can range from simple reversible confusion (26%) with postoperative cognitive dysfunction without actual recovery (10%).
The hypnosedation is an ancient technique of anesthesia expanding its effects on cognitive function remain to this day unknown, but appear promising.
Detailed Description
For twenty years, hypnosedation is offered to patients who underwent surgery as an alternative to other anesthetic techniques (general anesthesia and locoregional), in some European and Anglo-Saxon hospitals for specific surgical indications (surgery area). It is commonly used in some hospitals.
The hypnosedation is little used in oncology
The hypnosedation is a hypnosis technique suitable for anesthesia, namely the one associated with intravenous conscious sedation and local anesthesia hypnosis. This derived from medical hypnosis Ericksoniene technique is divided into three stages:
1. induction
2. Deepening trance
3. Déhypnotisation.
This technique is currently being validated and used at national and international level, in fact it is based on 500 references and appears in the national nomenclature of the Common Classification of Medical Procedures in the code ANRP 001, states: hypnosis referred to analgesic.

Brief Summary
The objective of the trial is to compare disease-free survival between adjuvant XELOX alone vs XELOX with concurrent capecitabine and radiotherapy in curatively resected gastric cancer patients with D2 dissection.
Detailed Description
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China. Complete surgical resection is the only potentially curative therapy available to patients with gastric cancer. However, the overall survival results remain unsatisfactory. The main factor accounting for high mortality rate is the relapse after surgical resection. During the past few decades, the principle of combined modality treatment has been developed and applied in gastric cancer. Radiation therapy plus concurrent chemotherapy had demonstrated to be able to achieve a significant improvement in overall and disease-free survival according to Intergroup Trial 0116/Southwest Oncology Group 9008. Nevertheless, the result from Intergroup Trial 0116 study had been challenged by the fact that the surgical treatment applied in the trial was gastrectomy with limited lymph node dissection (D0 or D1) in 90% of cases. Therefore, it is debatable whether adjuvant chemoradiation therapy can confer survival benefit in patients with extensive lymph node dissection. In ARTIST study, the addition of concurrent capecitabine and radiotherapy to capecitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy did not significantly reduce recurrence after curative resection and D2 lymph node dissection in gastric cancer. In subgroup analysis of patients with positive pathologic lymphnodes, there was a statistically significant prolongation in disease-free survival in the concurrent treatment arm when compared with the chemotherapy alone arm. Furthermore, CLASSIC study showed that XELOX (oxaliplatin/capecitabine) combination given as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II or III patients after D2 surgery could achieve a significant survival benefit. The standard treatment modality in gastric cancer after D2 dissection is still disputable. Thus, the assessment of the effect of adjuvant sequence chemoradiotherapy in D2 resected gastric cancer is essential.

Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia. Immunotoxins, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, can find cancer cells that express cluster of differentiation (CD)22 and kill them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine (vincristine sulfate) and prednisone (CVP) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of inotuzumab ozogamicin in this regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory CD22+ acute leukemia (B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia \[B-ALL\], mixed phenotype, and Burkitt's).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the preliminary activity (response rate: complete remission \[CR\] + complete remission with incomplete count recovery \[CRi\]) of this combination in the expansion cohort.
II. To estimate the frequency and severity of toxicities of this combination in this patient population.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of inotuzumab ozogamicin.
Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on day 1, vincristine sulfate IV on day 1, prednisone orally (PO) on days 1-5, and inotuzumab ozogamicin IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months for 1 year, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 1 year.

Brief Summary
Silibinin has demonstrated anti-cancer activity in the laboratory for several different cancer types, including prostate cancer. Silibinin was originally obtained from milk thistle. Silybin-Phytosome, an oral form of silibinin, has been tested previously in prostate cancer patients to determine the safety of high-dose treatment. This study is for men with prostate cancer who are planning to have their prostate surgically removed. Participants will be given Silybin-Phytosome three times a day from enrollment in the study until the time of their surgery. Participation in this study will not affect the timing of surgery. We obtain blood and urine samples at the start and completion of the trial in addition to prostate tissue from the surgery. These samples will be analyzed for the effect of Silybin-Phytosome at the end of the study.
Detailed Description
Prostate cancer is the most common invasive malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death in American males. In 2005, an estimated 230,000 men will be diagnosed and 30,000 will die from prostate cancer. The current estimated risk of developing prostate cancer is 1 in 6 men. Carcinogenesis and neoplastic progression of prostate cancer depend on both genetic and epigenetic factors; a multi-step process leads to progression from an androgen-dependent, non-metastatic phenotype to a more malignant, metastatic, androgen-independent phenotype.
Treatment options for localized prostate cancer include watchful waiting, surgical prostatectomy, or targeted irradiation. The latter two treatments can cure cancers that are confined to the prostate gland, yet many patients have occult metastasis at the time of presentation, particularly to the bone or regional lymph nodes.
Advanced prostate cancer with metastases presents a difficult therapeutic problem. Those who have disease progression with hormonal therapy have limited options. Patients initially treated with the combination of a Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH) analog and a synthetic antiandrogen occasionally respond to withdrawal of the anti-androgen. Chemotherapy is also an option in this setting, with docetaxel-based therapy having a small survival advantage in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer.
There is clearly a need for more effective regimens for patients with prostate cancer. With the current limitation in treatment options, there has been a renewed public and scientific interest in the use of less toxic herbal preparations in the treatment of cancer. Herbal supplements may play an especially important role in prostate cancer, considering its high incidence and oftentimes slow progression. However, before physicians can confidently recommend dietary supplementation, further scientific investigation is required.

Brief Summary
The main objective of the present project is to evaluate the relevance of reticulum stress in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), focusing particularly on the underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance, which is the origin of metabolic comorbidities. Furthermore, the investigators will assess the potential of insulin sensitizers as a treatment to control endoplasmic reticulum stress markers in PCOS patients.
Detailed Description
To do this, the investigators will evaluate anthropometric, biochemical and hormone parameters, lipid profile and cardiovascular risk markers (using enzymatic and biochemical techniques, nephelometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, radioimmunoassay), and markers of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the insulin pathway and inflammatory and apoptotic parameters (by means of Western blot, Real Time- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Luminex® xMAP® Technology ) in patients with and without PCOS. The investigators' second objective is to evaluate (using the abovementioned methodology) the efficacy of different insulin sensitizers (myoinositol and metformin) administered to PCOS patients during a 3-month period after which the investigators will analyze different parameters of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function (using Clark electrode and fluorometric techniques).

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the progression-free survival rate at 12 months for the two arms of the study.
Secondary objectives include the evaluation of overall objective response rate to treatment, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety and documentation of potential immunogenicity of aflibercept.
This study was a non-comparative randomized trial and was not powered for a comparison of any of the efficacy endpoints.
Rather, the aim of the trial was to get, for all endpoints, an estimation of the efficacy and safety of aflibercept combined with a modified FOLFOX6 regimen. In such type of non-comparative randomized trial, the control FOLFOLX6 arm was intended to only act as a check on the similarity of the current patients to the historical controls with respect to clinical outcome when given FOLFOX6 treatment.

Brief Summary
Lifestyle modifications are successfully employed in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) improving menstrual cycles and fertility. Unfortunately, the compliance over the time is very low. Recently, we have showed a high adherence to structured exercise training (SET) program in women with PCOS. The current study will be aimed to compare the efficacy of the SET program with a diet program on the reproductive function in obese anovulatory infertile PCOS patients.
Detailed Description
Forty obese anovulatory infertile PCOS patients who wish to conceive will be allocated in two study-groups according to their desire: structured exercise training (SET) group (n. 20) will undergo a SET program, whereas diet group (n. 20) will undertake a hypocaloric hyperproteic diet. The duration of the study will be of 24 weeks. At baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks clinical, endocrine and metabolic evaluations will be performed in each patient and all reproductive events obtained throughout the study will be recorded.

} | #Study Description
Brief Summary
This research is being done because it is not yet known what dose of romidepsin in combination with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) can be given safely to patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, nor what type and severity of side effects will result from the combination of these treatments. This research is also being done because it is not clear if the addition of the new drug romidepsin to treatment with GDP can offer better results and longer survival.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of romidepsin that can safely be given in combination with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) without causing very severe side effects that are not tolerable. This is done by starting at a dose lower than the one that does not cause side effects in animals. Patients are given romidepsin and GDP and watched very closely to see what side effects they have and to make sure the side effects are not severe. If the side effects are not severe, then more patients are asked to join the study and are given a higher dose of romidepsin (with GDP). Patients joining the study later on will get higher doses of romidepsin (with GDP) than patients who join earlier. This will continue until a dose is found that causes severe but temporary side effects. Doses higher than that will not be given.

Brief Summary
This research program consists of a prospective, multi-institutional Phase 2 trial and an economic cost-effectiveness analysis for the use of ACE+7 in VATS lobectomy/segmentectomy compared to traditional techniques.
It will be left up to the study credentialed surgeon investigator to decide the suitability of PA branches for sealing. This will be decided intra-operatively based on anatomy, vascular dissection and length as well as patient specific factors.
Detailed Description
Currently, a minority of anatomic pulmonary resections are being performed by VATS (15%). The technical difficulty and increased actual and perceived danger of VATS lobectomy is related to PA branch manipulation, stapling and division. This is the main limitation for many thoracic surgeons regarding the adoption of VATS lobectomy into their practice. Furthermore, the majority of VATS lobectomies are being performed in high volume, academic medical centers with a resultant disparity in socioeconomic status between those that undergo VATS versus open lobectomy. If we can find a way to decrease the manipulation required by the surgeon on the PA branches, these procedures will be safer, less stressful for the surgeon and therefore more prevalent for anatomical pulmonary resections.
Energy utilization in VATS lobectomy may also be more cost effective than endostaplers. The use of a single device for lymph node dissection, hilar dissection, and PA branch sealing may allow for overall procedural cost savings. There may also be a potential benefit in decreasing overall length of hospital stay due to decrease in chest tube duration secondary to decreased post-operative pleural fluid output following VATS lobectomy when using energy as opposed to cautery for mediastinal lymph node dissection.
Objectives:
* Systematically evaluate the immediate, short- and medium-term efficacy and safety of PA sealing utilising ACE+7 in a human VATS Lobectomy/Segmentectomy.
* Understand cost issues related to use of ACE+7 in human VATS Lobectomy/Segmentectomy.
General satisfaction of the surgeon utilizing energy sealing devices compared to standard endostaplers will be assessed using a post-procedural online survey administered by the research team immediately following each procedure.
This multi-institutional, international trial will be important to decrease the bias associated with single center studies and bolster the confidence level of thoracic surgeons in the results of the trial. Study sites have been specifically chosen in the USA, Canada and Europe in order to increase the worldwide generalizability of results.

Brief Summary
Patients (pts) with stage IIIA/IIIB NSCLC received NVBiv 25 mg/m² + CDDP 80 mg/m² on D1 and NVBo 60 mg/m² on D8 every 3 weeks (q3w) for 2 cycles as induction. Pts with response or non change received NVBo 20 mg fixed dose on D1 D3 D5 + CDDP 80 mg/m² on D1 q3w for 2 more cycles during RT(66 Gy/6.5 w).
Detailed Description
Vinorelbine (NVB) + CDDP is considered a standard trt in induction or concomitantly with RT (Vokes, Fournel, Krzakowski). NVBo simplifies the administration of trt and provides the same efficacy as intravenous NVB (NVBiv). In order to assess this and to improve the tolerance, a trial was started with NVBiv and NVBo + CDDP as induction followed by a fractionated administration of NVBo + CDDP during RT.
#Intervention
- DRUG : Vinorelbine cisplatin radiotherapy
- During the induction period, patients received chemotherapy for two 3-week cycles. Bolus intravenous vinorelbine 25 mg/m², was administered on day 1, then cisplatin 80 mg/m² was administered over 1-hour infusion. Vinorelbine 60 mg/m² was also administered on day 8.
Patients with objective response (OR) or no change (NC) continued the concomitant period (CP) including two additional 3-week cycles of radio chemotherapy (vinorelvine 20 mg D1 D3 D5 Cisplatin 80 mg/m² 66 Gy).

Brief Summary
Any time the words 'you,' 'your,' 'I,' or 'me' appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy (hyper-CVAD therapy) given in combination with liposomal vincristine (Marqibo), in addition to rituximab for patients who are CD20 positive and/or imatinib, dasatinib, or ruxolitinib for patients with the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, can help to control ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. CD20 is a protein 'marker' that is found in leukemia or lymphoma cells.
This is an investigational study. Liposomal vincristine is FDA approved for the treatment of patients with CLL who have relapsed at least 2 times. All of the other study drugs used in this study are FDA approved and commercially available. The combination of liposomal vincristine with the other study drugs is also being used in research only.
Up to 65 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Detailed Description
The Study Drugs:
Adriamycin (doxorubicin) is designed to stop the growth of cancer cells, which may cause the cells to die.
Cyclophosphamide is designed to disrupt with the multiplication of cancer cells, which may slow or stop their growth and spread throughout the body. This may cause the cancer cells to die.
Cytarabine (Ara-C) is designed to insert itself into DNA (the genetic material of cells) of cancer cells and stop the DNA from repairing itself.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that is similar to a natural hormone made by your body.
Methotrexate is designed to disrupt cells from making and repairing DNA and 'copying' themselves.
Vincristine is designed to disrupt the multiplication of cancer cells, which may slow or stop their growth and spread throughout the body. This may cause the cancer cells to die.
Liposomal Vincristine (Marqibo) is designed to help vincristine stay in the bloodstream for a longer time, more specifically target tumor tissue, and deliver more of the drug to a tumor site over a longer period of time. This may increase how effective the drug is and lower the risk of possible side effects in healthy, non-tumor tissue.
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that is designed to attach to leukemia cells and activate a series of events that may cause the cancer cells to die.
Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI--Imatinib, Dasatinib, or Ruxolitinib) Imatinib is a drug designed to block cancer cells from growing and dividing.
Dasatinib and ruxolitinib are designed to block a protein that cancer may need to grow, survive, or spread.
Study Groups:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups, based on your already performed diagnostic test for a certain protein, called CD20.
* If you test positive for CD20, you will receive hyper-CVAD therapy plus rituximab.
* If you test negative for CD20, you will receive hyper-CVAD therapy only.
In addition, patients with the Philadelphia chromosome (considered Philadelphia-positive or Ph+) will receive imatinib or dasatinib in either group. Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like disease will receive dasatinib or ruxolitinib. The study doctor will decide which drug these participants will receive.
Study Drug Administration:
Hyper-CVAD therapy is a combination of 7 chemotherapy drugs: the combination of adriamycin (doxorubicin), cyclophosphamide, and liposomal vincristine, alternating with the combination of cytarabine (Ara-C), dexamethasone, methotrexate, and liposomal vincristine. You will receive the 2 different study drug combinations over 21-28 day 'courses.' You will begin with Course A treatment and alternate with the Course B treatment every other course. You will stay overnight in the hospital for the first 4-5 days of each course.
For Course A of treatment, you will receive cyclophosphamide, liposomal vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone.
For Course B of treatment, you will receive methotrexate, cytarabine, and liposomal vincristine.
Courses of treatment on this study will continue to alternate or switch between the Course A study drug combination for all odd number courses (3, 5, and 7) and the Course B study drug combination for all even number courses (4, 6, and 8) for a total of up to 8 courses.
While you are on study, all doses of study drug combinations will be given through a central venous catheter (CVC). A CVC is a sterile flexible tube that will be placed into a large vein while you are under local anesthesia. Your doctor will explain this procedure to you in more detail, and you will be required to sign a separate consent form for this procedure.
Course 1:
On Days 1, 2, and 3 you will receive cyclophosphamide by vein over about 24 hours, mesna by vein continuously over 24 hours, and liposomal vincristine by vein over 1 hour +/- 30 minutes (Day 1 only). Mesna is given to help prevent blood in the urine, which is sometimes caused by cyclophosphamide.
On Days 2 and 7, methotrexate then cytarabine will be given by intrathecal (IT) infusion directly into your spinal fluid to lower the risk of the disease spreading to the brain.
On Day 4, you will receive doxorubicin by vein over 24 hours.
On Day 5 or 6, G-CSF will be injected under the skin to help with the recovery of bone marrow cells recovery 24 hours after the dose of study drugs.
On Day 8, you will receive liposomal vincristine by vein over 1 hour +/- 30 minutes.
On Days 1-4 and Days 11-14, dexamethasone will be given by mouth with a glass of water or by vein as a short infusion.
CD20 positive patients only will also receive rituximab by vein over 6 hours, on Days 1 and 8, in addition to receiving all study drugs, as described above. If you are CD20 negative, you will not receive rituximab.
Ph+ participants will receive imatinib by mouth with breakfast and a large glass of water (about 8 ounces) or dasatinib by mouth on Days 1-14 during Course 1.
Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like disease will receive dasatinib 1 time each day or ruxolitinib 2 times each day on Days 1-14 during Course 1.
Course 2:
On Day 1, you will receive methotrexate by vein over 24 hours.
On Days 2 and 3, you will receive cytarabine by vein over 2 hours every 12 hours for a total of 4 doses. You will also be given citrovorum factor (leucovorin) by vein or by mouth to help prevent the possible side effects of methotrexate.
On Day 5 or 6, G-CSF will be injected under the skin to help with bone marrow recovery 24 hours after the dose of study drugs.
On Days 5 and 8, cytarabine then methotrexate will be given by IT infusion to lower the risk of the disease spreading to the brain.
CD20 positive patients only will also receive rituximab by vein over 4 hours, on Days 1 and 8, in addition to receiving all study drugs, as described above. If you are CD20 negative, you will not receive rituximab.
Ph+ participants will receive imatinib by mouth with breakfast and a large glass of water (about 8 ounces) every day during Courses 2-8. Dasatinib will be given by mouth every day during Courses 2-8.
Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like disease will receive dasatinib 1 time each day or ruxolitinib 2 times each day.
Course 1 Study Visits:
* Blood (about 5 teaspoons each time) will be drawn weekly for routine tests.
* During Week 2 and 3 or 4, a bone marrow aspirate will be performed to check the status of the disease.
* At the end of Course 1, if the study doctor thinks it is needed, a chest X-ray or CT scan will be performed to check the status of the disease.
If the study doctor thinks it is needed, any of these tests may be repeated at any time while you are receiving the study drug combination.
Radiation Treatment:
If you have lymphoblastic lymphoma and you have enlarged lymph glands in the chest, you may receive radiation treatment to the chest after completing 8 courses of therapy and before you begin maintenance therapy. If you are to receive radiation therapy to the chest, the study doctor will discuss this procedure and its known risks with you in more detail, and you will be given a separate consent form to sign.
Maintenance Therapy -- Non-Ph+ Participants
After completing 8 courses of the study drug combinations, you will begin maintenance therapy for a total of 30 months, and will be interrupted by 2 periods of intensive chemotherapy consolidation courses.
Every month during maintenance therapy:
* You will take 6-mercaptopurine every day by mouth.
* You will receive methotrexate by vein or mouth 1 time every week.
* You will receive liposomal vincristine by vein over 1 hour +/- 30 minutes on Day 1.
* You will take dexamethasone by mouth on Days 1-5 each month.
First intensive chemotherapy consolidation courses:
* Six (6) months after you begin maintenance therapy, you will receive two months of intensive chemotherapy courses.
* First, you will receive cyclophosphamide, liposomal vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (similar to Course 1) for Month 6 of therapy.
* About one (1) month later, you will receive methotrexate by vein (at a lower dose than given during Course 2) on Day 1 and pegylated asparaginase by vein over about 2 hours on Day 2. You will be given each drug 1 time each week for a total of 4 weeks for Month 7 of therapy.
About eighteen (18) months after you begin maintenance therapy, you will repeat the intensive chemotherapy courses just described.
Maintenance Therapy -- Ph+ Participants and Participants with Ph-like Disease:
After completing 8 courses of the study drug combinations, you will begin maintenance chemotherapy plus TKI (imatinib or dasatinib if you have Ph+ disease; or dasatinib or ruxolitinib if you have Ph-like disease). Maintenance chemotherapy will be given for a total of 24 months, and will be interrupted by 2 periods of intensive chemotherapy courses and the TKI at 6 and 13 months from the start of maintenance. You will continue receiving the TKI every day from that point on, unless intolerable side effects occur.
Every month during maintenance therapy:
* You will take imatinib, dasatinib, or ruxolitinib every day by mouth.
* You will receive liposomal vincristine by vein over 1 hour +/- 30 minutes on Day 1.
* You will take dexamethasone by mouth on Days 1-5 each month.
Intensive chemotherapy consolidation courses:
°At six (6) and eighteen (18) months after you begin maintenance therapy, you will receive two months of intensive chemotherapy courses. You will receive cyclophosphamide, liposomal vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone with the TKI (similar to Course 1). If the disease is CD20 positive, you may receive rituximab.
Blood Tests:
During maintenance therapy and the intensive consolidation therapy, you will have blood (about 5 teaspoons) drawn every 4 weeks +/- 4 weeks for routine tests.
After intensive chemotherapy consolidation, for as long as you continue to receive maintenance therapy, blood (about 5 teaspoons) will be drawn every 4 weeks +/- 4 weeks, until maintenance therapy is completed:
Additional Tests while on Study:
Every 3-6 months:
* You will have a bone marrow biopsy performed to check the status of the disease.
* If you have mediastinal disease, you will have a chest x-ray or CT scan.
Length of Study:
You will receive up to 8 courses of therapy. If you are not Ph+, you will continue to receive maintenance therapy for up to 30 months. If you are Ph+, you will continue to receive maintenance therapy for up to 24 months, followed by imatinib or dasatinib alone indefinitely. You will be taken off the study if disease gets worse, you experience intolerable side effects, or the study doctor thinks it is in your best interest.
Additional Information:
If you are 60 years or older, you will receive Course 1 chemotherapy in a protective isolation room to decrease the risk of any infection(s) that you may be exposed to while receiving the Course 1 treatment.

Brief Summary
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with either cetuximab or bortezomib works as first-line therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving docetaxel together with either cetuximab or bortezomib may be effective as first-line therapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time between study entry and disease progression or death, for each of the two combination regimens.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the overall response rate of each regimen. II. To evaluate the overall survival distributions associated with each regimen.
III. To evaluate the toxicities of each regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with responding or stable disease after 4 courses receive cetuximab alone as above in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel as in arm I and bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with responding or stable disease after 4 courses receive bortezomib alone as above in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed monthly for 1 year, every 2 months for 2 years, and then every 4 months for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 62 patients (31 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 6-11 months.

Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of nivolumab, ipilimumab and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage IVA-B head and neck cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with stage IVA-B head and neck cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To investigate the safety of the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with radiation treatment for definitive management of patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the 1 year progression-free survival (PFS) in all patients treated.
II. To assess the overall response rate and overall survival of patients at one year
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore whether PDL1 expression is associated with treatment response. II. To explore whether there is a net change in the Th1/Th2 ratio (IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL10, etc) or cell subset frequencies (M2 monocytes, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, etc) within a patient's peripheral blood either at baseline or in response to treatment is associated with treatment response.
III. To explore whether exosomes or other immune related serum biomarkers change after combination therapy.

Brief Summary
Patients with primary prostate cancer (low, intermediate or high metastatic risk) for whom radical prostatectomy is indicated, will be invited to participate to the present study.
Positron Emission Tomography coupled with scanner (PET-CT) using a radiotracer : 68Ga-RM2 and Positron Emission Tomography coupled with scanner (PET-CT) using another radiotracer : 68Ga-PSMA-617, will be scheduled.
Detailed Description
Approximately 15% of men with prostate cancer have high-risk disease at diagnosis. For these patients the accuracy of initial staging is of critical importance for treatment decision-making.
Recommended imaging modalities for initial staging include computerized tomography (CT) scan, bone scan, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In addition to initial work-up, 18F-Choline Positron Emission Tomography coupled with scanner (PET-CT) may be proposed in some high-risk patients but its sensitivity for lymph node detection remains limited.
Nowadays, new radiotracers are becoming available for prostate cancer imaging. Among them, PET-CT imaging with radiolabeled ligands of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) could be more sensitive and more specific for the detection of lymph node metastasis in high-risk cancers, as it is the case with radiolabeled PSMA-617 which has demonstrated very promising results in men with metastatic prostate cancer in recent studies.
Therefore, PET imaging with 68Ga-PSMA-617 may participate to optimize work-up in the staging of high-risk patients.
Another family of radiopharmaceuticals aimed to target the Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRP-R) which is overexpressed in low-grade prostatic carcinomas. GRP-R expression is correlated with androgen receptor expression and with better outcomes.
Various radiolabeled GRP analogues have been developed and one of them, 68Ga-RM2, has shown very promising preclinical results. A study in 14 patients with prostate cancer showed encouraging results as related to the detection of primary prostate cancer and metastatic lymph nodes as well as in detection of local recurrence in the prostate bed and nodal relapse. However, 68Ga-RM2 failed to show some bone metastases in hormone-refractory patients. 68Ga-RM2 has also been recently used and compared to 68Ga-PSMA-11 for targeting biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. These radiotracers may offer complementary performances in lymph nodes detection due to their distinct pharmacokinetics.
Since 68Ga-RM2 and 68Ga-PSMA-617 target different cell populations, combining these two radiopharmaceuticals in patients could be of additional value.
The aim of this pilot study is to compare 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT to 68Ga-RM2 PET/CT in 24 patients with prostate cancer of various progression risks to better understand how they could performed a metastatic risk mapping and how they could be used (or combined) in clinical practice.

Brief Summary
This study is a primary investigation to determine the usefulness and safety of a short course of a relatively high dose of letrozole (a medication used to decrease the female hormone estrogen which is produced locally inside the breast after menopause) in improving the performance of of breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The inhibition of estrogen in the breast by letrozole might help better identifying of suspicious areas in the breast and could assist radiologists in distinguishing between benign breast areas and cancer tissue. This might help reducing the rate of call backs and unnecessary biopsies for patients. We expect to enroll 20 healthy postmenopausal women in this study.
Detailed Description
A breast MRI will be performed in the standard way for diagnosis and to serve as a baseline. A second MRI will be performed within a month and following administration of letrozole 12.5 mg daily for three days to reduce breast estrogen levels and in anticipation of lowering breast gadolinium dye uptake.
#Intervention
- DRUG : letrozole
- Letrozole (12.5 mg/day ) which is higher than the dose routinely used for therapeutic indications is given for a brief duration (3 successive days) aiming to promote acute aromatase inhibition suitable for pre-diagnostic regimens.

Brief Summary
The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of ConquerFear-Group (CF-G), compared with a control condition (CC), on Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR). Secondary aims are to explore the effect of CF-G on emotion regulation and additional psychological outcomes, and to explore mediating effects of emotion regulation, metacognitions, working alliance, patient adherence, and group cohesion. In addition, treatment expectancy, participation in other treatments after completion of the intervention of the study and demographic and clinical variables will be explored as moderators.
Detailed Description
A randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of ConquerFear-Group (CF-G) on breast cancer survivors with clinical levels of Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR), compared with a control condition (CC), will be conducted.
The aims are to:
1. Evaluate the efficacy of CF-G on FCR,
2. Explore the effects on the secondary outcomes of emotion regulation, general distress, health-related QoL, survivors' unmet needs, mindfulness, metacognitions, intervention satisfaction, negative effects of intervention, and sleep.
3. Explore emotion regulation, metacognitions, working alliance, patient adherence, and group cohesion will be explored as possible mediators.\*
4. Explore treatment expectancy, participation in other treatments after completion of the CF-G or the CC and demographic and clinical variables as possible moderators.
Primary hypothesis:
CF-G will yield larger reductions in FCR than CC at post treatment, and the effect will be maintained through the follow-up period.
Secondary hypotheses:
CF-G will demonstrate a larger improvement in measures of emotion regulation than CC following the intervention period.
Changes in emotion regulation during treatment will mediate the effect of CF-G on FCR.\* Changes in metacognitions during treatment will mediate the effect of CF-G on FCR.\* CF-G will yield larger reductions in general distress, health-related QoL, survivors' unmet needs than CC, and CF-G will yield larger improvements in metacognitions, mindfulness, and sleep than CC following the intervention period.
\*The prerequesties for conducting for mediation analysis were not fulfilled. Consequently, these analyses were abandoned. Data can be obtained upon request.
#Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL : ConquerFear-Group
- The intervention consist of one 1½-hour individual session in which a psychologist will conduct an oral psychological assessment, and five 2-hour group sessions. The key goals of the intervention are to: a) teach strategies for controlling worry and excessive threat monitoring; b) modify underlying unhelpful beliefs about worry; c) develop appropriate monitoring and screening behaviors; d) educate about follow-up care and empirically-supported behavioral change (e.g., weight loss, exercise, etc.) to improve overall survival; e) address existential changes brought about by a cancer diagnosis; f) promote goal-setting. Each session is accompanied by home-based practice of skills learned in session and home reading to consolidate skill acquisition. Four trained psychologists (MSc) will perform the therapy. The intervention will be delivered on Zoom, a secure online platform.
- BEHAVIORAL : Relaxation Training
- The control group will receive one 1½-hour individual session and participate in five 2-hour group sessions. Patients will receive guided progressive muscle relaxation training. The intervention will be delivered on Zoom, a secure online platform. | #Eligibility Criteria:

Brief Summary
1. To determine the prevalence and incidence of anal HSIL and associated risk factors among MSM who initiate ART during AHI.
Detailed Description
Anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is very common in men who have sex with men (MSM).1-3 HIV-positive MSM have a higher prevalence of anal HPV infection than HIV-negative MSM and are more likely to have infection with multiple HPV types.1,2 Spontaneous clearance of anal HPV infection is less common among HIV- positive compared with HIV-negative MSM.2 Persistent anal HPV infection, particularly with high-risk HPV types, is an important risk factor for the development of anal cancer.4-6 The incidence of anal cancer among HIV-positive MSM is very high, ranging from 75 to 137 per 100,000 person-years, and is five times higher than that in HIV-negative MSM.7-10 Anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is the putative precursor of anal cancer.11-13 Anal squamous intraepithelial lesion has a dynamic picture of temporal progression and regression, but HSIL is much less likely to regress than low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL).10,14 A recent systematic review and meta-analysis showed the pooled prevalence of anal HSIL to be 29.1% in HIV-positive MSM and 21.5% in HIV-negative MSM.15 Anal HSIL incidence ranged from 8.5 to 15.4% per year in HIV-positive MSM and 3.3 to 6.0% per year in HIV-negative MSM. Although data are limited, previous studies have shown a 9-15% progression rate from anal HSIL to anal cancer during a median follow-up of 3 - 5 years. 11-13 Previous research at the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre has demonstrated high rates of HPV infection and anal HSIL among Thai MSM, with HIV-positive MSM disproportionately affected. Prevalence of anal infection with high-risk HPV types was 57.5% in HIV-positive and 36.6% in HIV-negative MSM (p = 0.008).16 Prevalence of anal HSIL was 18.9% in HIV-positive MSM and 11.4% in HIV-negative MSM (p = 0.1), while incidence of anal HSIL over 12 months was 29% and 8%, respectively (p=0.001).17 HIV-positive MSM in that study, however, were mainly naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) at enrollment (87% not on ART) and only 10% had undetectable HIV viral load at baseline.
It is not clear if the higher rates of HPV infection and persistence of infection are due to HIV infection or to different risk behavior among HIV-positive MSM. Data are inconclusive on whether the use of ART has an effect on anal HPV infection among HIV-positive MSM.18-19 Furthermore, there is no data on the effect that 'early diagnosis' of HIV infection and 'early treatment' with ART might have on incidence and persistence of HPV infection or on the development of anal HSIL.
We propose a longitudinal, observational study of HPV infection and anal HSIL among HIV-positive Thai MSM who initiate ART during acute HIV infection (AHI). The hypothesis is that early HIV diagnosis and early ART within the first 4 weeks of infection will mitigate immunological and virological factors that increase HPV persistence and anal HSIL incidence in HIV-positive MSM such that these measure will be significantly lower when compared to historical controls of chronically-infected HIV-positive Thai MSM.

Brief Summary
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has been explored for patients with high risk neuroblastoma. Results have been mixed, with only small series and case reports. Recent reports, however, especially with haploidentical transplantation have been more encouraging. Eradication of neuroblastoma may be mediated by both components of the innate immune system (natural killer cells) and through the adaptive immune system via T-cell cytotoxicity and the development of a humoral response to tumor specific antigens and minor histocompatibility antigens. To overcome restrictions created by unavailability of Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched donors, stem cell grafts from haploidentical related donors have been explored. Historically, the use of full haplotype mismatched family member donors has been limited by the development of severe graft-versus-host disease and the high rate of graft failure. Graft failure can now be overcome by increasing immunosuppression and increasing the number of transplanted stem cells. The most effective means of graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is T cell depletion of the donor marrow. A 3-4 log depletion will reduce the risk of developing significant GVHD to less than 10%. Methods to mobilize stem cells from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood and collect these stem cells by apheresis now increase the availability of stem cells by a magnitude. Selection devices have been developed that will prepare extremely pure populations of these CD34 cells with upwards of 5 logs depletion of contaminating T cells. The CliniMACS CD34 Reagent System is a medical device designed to select CD34+ hematopoietic cells from heterogeneous hematologic cell populations. The investigators intend to provide mismatched related hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to up to 10 patients with relapsed refractory neuroblastoma. Harnessing the potential for innate and adaptive immune responses through allogeneic Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may provide cure for some patients with this tumor.

Brief Summary
Umbilical cord blood is an important source of stem cells and can be used to treat blood and immune system disorders and certain types of cancer. Stem cell transplants of umbilical cord blood have been shown to be effective in treating illness in children, but more research is needed to confirm the benefit of this procedure in adults. The purpose of this study is to examine the immune system response to cord blood stem cell transplantation in adults with advanced blood disorders or cancer.
Detailed Description
The use of umbilical cord blood stem cells to treat blood disorders and cancer is an important medical advance; currently, more than 45 disorders can be treated with this method. While bone marrow transplants are the most common method for stem cell donations, research has shown that there are many advantages to using allogeneic grafts of stem cells obtained from umbilical cord blood. Cord blood stem cells are relatively easy to obtain. Additionally, a perfect donor match is not necessary, thereby decreasing the likelihood of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious side effect in which donor stem cells attack the recipient's tissues. Cord blood has been used successfully in pediatric patients but its benefit in adults remains untested. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation in adults with advanced blood disorders or cancer. Upon receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant using umbilical cord blood, participants will be observed for successful engraftment in which the transplanted stem cells 'take' and begin producing new blood cells. The incidence of GVHD and the overall immune system's response will also be examined. In turn, these findings may guide future umbilical cord blood stem cell clinical trials.
This 1-year study will enroll individuals with advanced blood diseases or cancer. Participants will receive an allogeneic umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant and will be closely monitored while in the hospital to determine when engraftment occurs and if GVHD develops. Study visits will occur at Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and Year 1. At each visit, participants will have blood drawn for laboratory testing and for evaluation of immune system response. Quality of life questionnaires will also be completed at each visit.

Secondary objectives:
1. To evaluate the efficacy of melatonin treatment on delayed sleep onset latency in long-term childhood cancer survivors.
2. To investigate whether improvement in sleep onset latency due to melatonin treatment is associated with neurocognitive improvement in long-term childhood cancer survivors.
This study is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial of time release melatonin for adult survivors of childhood cancer who demonstrate impaired neurocognitive functioning and/or difficulty falling asleep.
Detailed Description
All participants undergo a general neurocognitive evaluation at baseline and 6-month follow-up, focused on assessment of intelligence, academic skills, attention, processing speed, memory and executive functions.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if vaccination with autologous idiotype- or tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells induces the generation of anti-idiotypic and anti-tumor immunologic responses.
Detailed Description
This is an experimental treatment that will consist of receiving special white blood cell administrations either underneath the skin or in the lymph nodes. In this protocol, treatment will be given according to the 'risk group'. If there are certain abnormalities in the chromosomes, the disease is considered to be high risk. High-risk patients will first receive one cycle of chemotherapy with a regimen called DT PACE, after which the white blood cells will be collected. Leukapheresis is a procedure in which blood is removed, white blood cells are saved, and the remaining blood is given back to you. These dendritic cells will then be mixed with your individual myeloma protein and/or cells, and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) that is necessary for the enhancement of immune response against myeloma antigens. It is hoped that this will cause these cells to interact with and activate T cells, which will then destroy myeloma cells in your body. Half of these white cells will be injected into your lymph nodes (intranodally) and half will be given subcutaneously. High risk patients will receive a chemotherapy regimen called DT PACE.

Brief Summary
In this phase II multicenter study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a novel taxane-cabazitaxel as single agent second-line chemotherapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
Detailed Description
For those patients with advanced bladder cancer who have progressed on a platinum based regimen, no widely accepted standard second line therapy currently exists. Taxanes including paclitaxel and docetaxel have exhibited limited clinical activity in this disease and are sometimes given off study. Cabazitaxel is a novel semi-synthetic taxane with a low affinity for the multidrug resistance 1 protein. In cell lines cabazitaxel is as potent as docetaxel, but in tumor cells that are resistant to taxanes, cabazitaxel overcome taxanes resistance.
In recent clinical data, this drug was shown to have potent activity in patients with metastatic prostate cancer resistant to docetaxel. Based on this phase III data, cabazitaxel was recently approved in the US, Europe and in Israel for these patients. The main toxicity of this taxane is neutropenia and diarrhea, thus primary prevention with GCSF may reduce the main toxicity of this agent.
In this phase II multicenter study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of this novel taxane -cabazitaxel as single agent second-line chemotherapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy.
The patients are planned to receive cabazitaxel at a starting dose of 25 mg/m(2) intravenously over 1 h, following premedication as accepted with cabazitaxel. Treatment cycles are every 3 weeks. All patients will receive primary GCSF support.
#Intervention

Brief Summary
Apatinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and it's anti-angiogenesis effect has been viewed in preclinical tests. The investigators' phase I study has shown that the drug's toxicity is manageable and the maximum tolerable daily dose is 850 mg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib can improve progression free survival compared with placebo in patients with metastatic gastric carcinoma who failed two lines of chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Up to now, although FU based, cisplatin based and taxane based regimen, and ECF regimen have been suggested as the first line therapy for A/MGC by FDA, the efficacy of these treatment is still unsatisfied for their toxicity and limitation in prolonging survival. Based on the promising results of apatinib in the phase I study, this clinical trial has been designed to evaluate whether apatinib can improve progression free survival in patients with metastatic gastric carcinoma who failed two lines of chemotherapy compared with placebo. Patients will be randomized to 3 groups, one group patients will receive the treatment of apatinib 850mg qd, one group patients will receive apatinib 425mg bid, and the other group will receive placebo.

Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate for the first time in Colombia the immunogenicity and safety of autologous DCs as enhancers of the immune response in patients with ductal breast cancer who, prior to surgical resection of the tumor, will receive neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide. concomitantly with the transfer of autologous DCs. This clinical trial is based on the concept proposed in countries like France more than a decade ago, that chemotherapy or radiotherapy cause the tumor cells to release certain signals that favor the activation of the immune system against cancer. Therefore, the combined use of chemotherapy with vaccination with dendritic cells would provide the immune system with greater antitumor response capacity, taking advantage of the release of said signals to initiate a series of processes that would be reflected in the activation of T lymphocytes capable of destroying the remaining cells of the tumor. To determine the specificity of the response evoked by the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs, in each patient the degree of recognition of the tumor by the immune system before and after said procedure will be evaluated. These results will be compared with those of patients who participated in a control group.
Hypothesis Adoptive transfer of autologous DCs generated in vitro, in patients with stage IIA-IV breast cancer who receive neoadjuvant therapy with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide, is a safe procedure that stimulates anti-tumor immune responses in treated patients.
Principal aim:
To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the use of DCs when used in patients with stage IIA-IV breast cancer in association with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide.
Specific aims:
* Generate immuno-competent dendritic cells in conditions of Good Clinical Practice and Good Laboratory Practices.
* Determine in each patient the immunological status of specific T lymphocytes against tumor antigens, before and after chemotherapy, in order to demonstrate whether the adoptive transfer of DCs favors the anti-tumor immune response.
* Register in patients with breast cancer in neo-adjuvant chemotherapy the class and frequency of adverse effects that could be generated as a result of the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs.
Detailed Description
The Fundación Salud de los Andes in the framework of a strategic alliance with the National University of Colombia has been working in the planning and development of a clinical trial in Colombia that promotes the search for new therapeutic alternatives for cancer patients. As a translational medicine project, it aims to make the laboratory findings available to the patient. This study explores the combination of immunotherapy (cell therapy) with chemotherapy, in order to obtain better results in the therapeutic management of tumors in patients with breast cancer.
Problem:
Breast cancer is a pathology that in recent years has increased vertiginously its incidence globally. Given the advanced state in which this tumor is usually diagnosed in our environment, the prognosis is seriously compromised, which has led to the current breast cancer represents a major public health problem in Colombia. The established therapies for the management of patients with this type of tumors such as chemotherapy, radio-therapy or surgery, are effective to reduce much of the established tumor mass, but fail to eliminate residual cancer cells, so - often - these treatments cannot prevent the recurrence of the disease. In addition to the above, the quality of life of the patients treated is strongly affected by the toxicity of these treatments on healthy tissues and their undesirable effects, which frequently affects poor adherence to treatment. That is why it is necessary to search for new therapeutic alternatives that are more specific to the tumor and that are better tolerated by patients. Due to the high specificity of the immune system for the recognition of tumors, different modalities of immune therapy for tumor control are currently being explored, which seek to enhance the performance of the patient's defense system so that a cytotoxic and memory response is established against them. tumor cells.
Type of study Clinical Trial Phase I / II.
Methodology:
Patients who attend the consultation due to their mammary pathology for the start of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy will be pre-selected to participate in the study. The participation of the volunteers will be subject to compliance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined for the study, as well as the signing of the informed consent. The participants will be randomly distributed into two groups.
PATIENT GROUPS As part of the clinical evaluation at the entrance of the study, a battery of laboratory tests (basic and specific to the trial) will be carried out. Subsequent to the corroboration of compliance with the inclusion criteria, patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups: The first group (A) will be the negative control group, which includes patients who will receive only the standardized chemotherapy treatment for the pathology. The second group (B) will consist of those patients who were randomly selected to receive the adoptive transfer of mature autologous DCs in combination with the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. In this way, the total of 30 patients will be distributed as follows: 15 patients for group A and 15 patients for group B.
The patients of group B will undergo an apheresis procedure in order to obtain a sample enriched in peripheral blood monocytes from which monocytes will be purified for the production of DCs. The generation of DCs will be carried out under strict conditions of Good Clinical Practices and Good Laboratory Practices.
The adoptive transfer will be carried out concomitantly with the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy treatment (eight and 15 days after chemotherapy dose for a total of 6 injections with autologous DCs).
In the period of application of the doses, a permanent clinical evaluation will be carried out to the patients, to register possible adverse effects (evaluation of the safety of the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs). The effect on the immune response of autologous DCs transferred to patients on chemotherapy vs. the effect on the immune response of chemotherapy without transfer, will be analyzed in each patient before and after chemotherapy using the state of the art of immunological techniques with which will measure the extent of anti-tumor CD8+ T cells expansion (evaluation of the immunogenicity of the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs).

Brief Summary
During penile prosthesis surgery, patients are given general anesthesia in combination with other pain drugs. A caudal nerve block (CNB) is a local anesthetic injected near the tailbone, in addition to general anesthesia, which can lower the need for pain drugs.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how effective CNBs are in patients who are having penile prosthesis surgery compared to patients who only have general anesthesia by studying how long you stay in the hospital and the level of pain you have after surgery.
This is an investigational study. The general anesthesia and CNB used in this study are FDA approved and commercially available. It is considered investigational to compare the effectiveness of CNBs in penile prosthesis surgery to general anesthesia alone. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work.
Up to 104 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Detailed Description
Study Groups and CNB Administration:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. You will have an equal chance of being assigned to either group.
* If you are assigned to Group 1, you will receive a CNB and general anesthesia during surgery.
* If you are assigned to Group 2, you will only receive general anesthesia during surgery.
You will not know to which group you have been assigned. The CNB will be given to you while you are under general anesthesia. To receive a CNB, a special needle is inserted at the lower part of the back (near the tailbone). A type of local anesthesia is then injected into the sac surrounding the spinal cord that contains the nerves related to the penis.
All participants will also receive general anesthesia as part of their standard care. You will also receive a separate consent form for the surgery that explains the procedure and its risks, including the risks for general anesthesia.
After Surgery Data Collection:
During the 24 hours after surgery, the study staff will ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 0-10. You will be asked to rate your pain about every 30 minutes while you are in the hospital, but you may be asked to rate your pain more often if needed. It should take less than 5 minutes each time to rate your pain. Depending on how you rate your pain, additional pain drugs may be given to you as part of your standard care.
If you are discharged from the hospital on the same day as your surgery or if you are discharged before a member of the staff can ask you to rate your pain, the study staff will call you within 24 hours after you have been discharged from the hospital. This call should last about 5-10 minutes.
The amount of pain drugs given to you before, during, and after surgery will also be recorded.
About 3 days after your surgery, the study staff will call you to ask about your pain, the amount of pain drugs you have taken, and how satisfied you are with the type of anesthesia and pain control you have received. This call should last about 5-10 minutes.
Length of Study:
Your participation in this study will be over after the phone call about 3 days after your surgery has been completed.

Brief Summary
Many recent studies have shown that surgical trauma will result in an immunosuppressive state. Combined with the effect of surgical stress, it will often lead to metabolic changes, systemic inflammatory response, and other problems. The body resists and removes the harmful factors through the inflammatory reaction. However, an excessive reaction will damage the normal tissues and cells of the body. The smooth recovery of the body needs to balance the degree of inflammatory reaction. Surgical patients will trigger different degrees of an inflammatory response due to different degrees of physical trauma, which runs through the process of postoperative recovery from the beginning of surgery and often prolongs the time of postoperative recovery. Reducing the intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory response of patients has always been the goal of surgeons, and a method is the reduction of surgical trauma.
The successful experience of the first single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection of the lung in 2004 provided us with a new surgical idea. Subsequently, a large number of domestic and international studies and case reports show that single-port thoracoscopic surgery is safe and feasible in lobectomy and segmental resection. With the rapid development of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in recent years, the scope of application and clinical efficacy of the surgery are gradually becoming equivalent to the traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery, which can ensure the safety of the operation and complete tumor resection, and has its own characteristics and advantages compared with the traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery. The reduction of incisions can significantly improve the postoperative pain and recovery of patients and wound healing.
In addition, single-port thoracoscopic surgery also has a subtle improvement in patients' intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory response compared with traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery. In this study, we compared and analyzed the intraoperative and postoperative inflammatory factor levels of single-port thoracoscopic surgery and three-port thoracoscopic surgery in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Through the comparison of the measured values, we further discussed the advantages of single-port thoracoscopic surgery in reducing inflammatory response and its application and promotion value in the treatment of patients with NSCLC compared with traditional three-port thoracoscopic surgery.

Brief Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well giving CCI-779 together with rituximab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving CCI-779 together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the overall response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma treated with CCI-779 and rituximab.
II. Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients by assessing toxicity.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the time to disease progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
II. Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to prior response to rituximab (sensitive \[partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) that lasted ≥ 6 months after the last treatment with rituximab alone or in combination with chemotherapy\] vs refractory \[stable or progressive disease OR a PR or CR that lasted \< 6 months after the last treatment with rituximab alone or in combination with chemotherapy\]).
Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Patients also receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of course 1 and on day 1 only of courses 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of course 3, patients undergo reevaluation. Patients achieving a CR or an unconfirmed CR (CRu) receive 2 additional courses of treatment for a total of 5 courses. Patients achieving a PR or stable disease continue study treatment as outlined above for up to 12 courses. Patients achieving a PR or stable disease who subsequently achieve a CR or CRu between courses 3 and 10 receive 2 additional courses of treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 2 years.

Brief Summary
This randomized controlled prospective study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of using (PEGylated Recombinant Human Granulocyte Stimulating Factor) PEG-rhG-CSF to prevent neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) regimen for cervical cancer. To find out the best time to use PEG-rhG CSF, and to explore investigate the effect of PEG-rhG-CSF on long-term bone marrow function in the process of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and finally to explore the clinical feasibility of using PEG-rhG-CSF to prevent neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy of TP regimen for cervical cancer.
Detailed Description
Study design: In this prospective, single-center, randomized controlled study, patients with locally advanced cervical cancer are randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the experimental group will receive PEG-rhG-CSF 6mg prevention during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, whereas the control group do not use PEG-rhG-CSF for prevention. When the patient's ANC is less than 1✕109/L, 5μg/kg rhG-CSF will be given for treatment until the ANC returned to 2✕109/L.
Case selection: patients with IIb-IIIb cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by histopathology, and three-week regimen of paclitaxel and carboplatin with Concurrent Radiotherapy.
Primary end point: incidence and duration of grade 3/4 neutropenia in patients. Secondary endpoints: 1) Incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN); 2) the rate of postponement of the course of radiotherapy, reduction in chemotherapy dose and postponement of the course of chemotherapy; 3) Changes of bone marrow function in patients 3 months and 6 months after radiotherapy.
Safety assessment: laboratory safety testing, including platelet count and hemoglobin. Evaluation of adverse events: infection, neutropenic fever, bone pain, etc.
#Intervention
- DRUG : PEG-rhG-CSF
- During the concurrent chemoradiotherapy, a single subcutaneous injection of 6 mg PEG-rhG-CSF was given to the patient 2 hours after radiotherapy on the first day after the end of chemotherapy. Blood tests were performed weekly, if the patient's neutrophils were less than 1.0 × 109 / L during radiotherapy, rhG-CSF was given as a remedial treatment. If fever occurs, antibiotics were given promptly.

Brief Summary
This study is for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have not yet received any treatment for their disease.
Current therapy for this disease includes the use of combination chemotherapy regimens containing Fludarabine and Rituximab, which have been found to be very effective for CLL. In this study, subjects will receive Fludarabine and Rituximab. After 3 cycles or 6 cycles of Fludarabine and Rituximab treatment, they will receive Lenalidomide. We are doing this research because we are attempting to improve the response, or outcome, of Fludarabine and Rituximab in previously untreated CLL patients. Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). MDS and MM are blood disorders that involve different types of blood cells. It is not approved for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. In this case it is considered experimental.
This research is being done because we are attempting to find a better treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We do not know the effect of Lenalidomide following the regimen of Fludarabine and Rituximab.
The hypothesis of the study is that adding Lenalidomide after the standard treatment regimen of Fludarabine and Rituximab will have better outcomes than treatment with Fludarabine and Rituximab alone.
Detailed Description
This is a single institution Phase II study where all enrolled patients with untreated CLL will receive fludarabine and rituximab (FR) combination therapy. Subjects who demonstrate Stable disease or Progressive disease after completing 3 cycles of FR will receive lenalidomide monotherapy for a maximum of 6 cycles. Subjects who achieve \>/= PR after receiving 3 cycles of FR will receive 3 additional cycles of FR (maximum of 6 cycles). Upon completion of FR treatment subjects will receive lenalidomide monotherapy for a maximum of 6 cycles.
Response assessment will be performed for Module A (FR): after every cycle, but would include imaging after cycle 3 if clinically indicated. Response assessment will be performed for Module B (Lenalidomide monotherapy): Before starting Lenalidomide therapy, after every cycle and on completion of therapy. Imaging for Module B would be obtained before starting lenalidomide therapy, and on completion of therapy. Bone marrow biopsies will be performed prior to starting therapy in Module A (FR), prior to starting Module B (Lenalidomide), and on completion of Module B. Bone marrow biopsies can be obtained once during Lenalidomide therapy at the discretion of the investigator. Minimum residual disease assessment of bone marrow specimens should include immunohistochemistries and flow cytometry. Additional studies on bone marrow specimens will be sent for flow cytometric analysis (standard or four color flow), ZAP-70 immunohistochemical stains and FISH analysis (13q deletion, trisomy 12, 11q deletion, and 17p) will be performed at the time intervals described above.
Response will be assessed according to the Cheson Criteria.
Blood specimens for optional correlative studies will be drawn on Day 0 prior to FR, prior to starting lenalidomide, 90 days after initiation of lenalidomide, and 7 days after the last dose of lenalidomide.

Brief Summary
This is a pilot study that will compare two systems of breast cancer follow up care and will evaluate a number of parameters indicating quality and efficiency of care delivery as well as patient satisfaction with care. Approximately 100 breast cancer patients who have completed the acute phase of treatment will be randomized to one of two follow up care plans.
Detailed Description
Over 200,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the year 2006. Many of these women will be rendered free of cancer, but will need ongoing disease specific care and surveillance. The estimated number of breast cancer survivors in the year 2003 was 2.3 million (1). With outcomes improving after the diagnosis of early breast cancer, the number of breast cancer survivors in follow up care will continue to increase and eventually result in an unmanageable load on the subspecialties of medical and surgical oncology. Most of these patients continue to be seen by an oncology specialist for at least five years after their cancer diagnosis, but this type of follow up may not be necessary or optimally utilized.
Alternate Strategies for Health Care Delivery Studies suggest that oncology follow up care is costly to the health care system no matter who the provider is, and in some cases, diagnostic tests are overused (2). In a randomized trial of 296 women with a history of breast cancer in Great Britain, transfer of routine follow-up care to a family physician did not result in an increase in the time to diagnosis of recurrence (3). Patient satisfaction was greater and health service costs were less, and anxiety and health related quality of life were unaffected (4, 5). A similar multicenter trial of 968 early-stage breast cancer patients in Canada who had completed adjuvant treatment randomized patients to follow up in a cancer center or with their own family physician (6). This study found no statistically significant differences in number of recurrences, deaths, recurrence related serious clinical events, or patient reported health-related quality of life questionnaires between the groups. While transferring oncology follow-up care back to primary care physicians seems a reasonable alternative, the shortage of primary care physicians in certain regions of the US and around the world, limits this approach (7, 8). A study in Sweden compared nurse-led follow-up vs. physician follow-up in 264 consecutively selected women with newly diagnosed Stage I or II breast cancer (9). Outcomes included measures of patient well-being, satisfaction, access to medical care, and medical safety. Questionnaires containing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Satisfaction and Accessibility (SaaC) scale were obtained at baseline and twice a year over a period of 5 years. Number of contacts with health care services, number of diagnostic procedures, and time to recurrence or death were monitored. Ratings of HADS and SaaC scales did not show any statistically significant differences between the follow-up groups. The levels of anxiety and depression were generally low, and levels of patient satisfaction high. There were no differences between the groups concerning time to recurrence or death suggesting that follow-up care with an experienced nurse professional is safe and effective.
Various strategies have been studied to evaluate alternatives to routine clinic visits and referrals to subspecialists in order to improve access to care and to lower health care costs. One such study tested the hypotheses that virtual outreach would reduce number of contacts with the health care system, reduce the number of medical tests and interventions, and have a positive impact on patient satisfaction. A randomized controlled trial was conducted which compared standard outpatient referral to joint teleconsultations between general practitioners (GP), specialists, and patients (10). Patients randomized to virtual outreach underwent a joint teleconsultation, in which they and their GP consulted with a hospital specialist via a videolink. In this study, patients in the virtual outreach group were more likely to be scheduled for a follow-up appointment, but fewer tests and investigations were ordered. In the 6-month period following the initial consultation, there were no significant differences in number of contacts or outpatient visits with GP, inpatient stays, procedures, or prescriptions between the randomized groups. Patient satisfaction was greater after a virtual outreach consultation, and patient enablement and the physical and psychological scores of the Short Form-12, did not differ between the randomized groups. Interestingly, health care costs over 6 months were greater for the virtual outreach consultations than for conventional outpatients, but overall cost, time, and productivity savings to patients were identified. This study represents an example of how technology can be utilized to streamline care and provide more patient centered services, but that these services may not save money overall in the health care system. The need to assess the cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes of alternate surveillance and follow up strategies was recently highlighted in a review article by Tolaney (11).
UCSF and Dynamic Clinical Systems (DCS) Collaboration The UCSF Breast Care Center has embarked upon collaboration with Dynamic Clinic Systems to implement a computer based, patient centered system of symptom reporting and data collection to improve clinical care to our patients and generate databases of patient reported symptoms and outcomes information for research purposes. Dynamic Clinical Systems (DCS) is a provider of real-time Web-based applications focusing on the patient-clinician interaction. The DCS approach enables patients to provide health data electronically. Clinicians may use this data for research, medical documentation, and registries depending on the type of data collected and the consent of the patient.
Through this system, patients will report their own health information via the DCS web-based Integrated Survey System (ISS). The process is as follows: A real-time interface downloads appointments from the hospital scheduling system into ISS. Survey groups are automatically scheduled based on pre-defined timing parameters. Prior to sending the patient their first survey, each patient will be called and welcomed to the program and asked if they use the internet. If they do, they will be given instructions for completion of surveys at home. If they need assistance, they will be given an appointment to come to our resource center and work with our staff member to complete the survey. The patient will be notified (via automatically-generated email from ISS or hospital letter/phone) to either sign on and take the survey from home or come to clinic early to take the survey. Once logged in, the patient has the opportunity to indicate online consent (to be approved by CHR) to share data for research purposes. An analyst will monitor the progress of survey completion and will call any patient whose surveys are not complete prior to their clinic appointment to facilitate survey completion. At the end of the process, a patient summary report is generated in ISS displaying a summary of patient survey answers, longitudinal comparisons of previous surveys, red flags and warnings, and quality measures. The clinician uses this report during the clinic visit to focus the discussion on highlighted items.
DCS is a service vendor who has built and who services the online-questionnaire platform. All content in the questionnaires has been created and reviewed by the investigators at UCSF (with the exception of standardized surveys such as the SF-36 and other validated questionnaires). Other than this, the DCS has no role in this study, and it does not receive or have access to information regarding study outcomes (such as in terms of patient visits or interventions) from either arm of the study.
We plan to implement and evaluate a comprehensive survivorship program, supported by this interactive web-based system for reporting physical and psychological symptoms. The system will capture structured data that then can be used to drive translation of research findings to improve care for survivors. The System for Individualized survivorship care, based on patient Self-reported data, with review by Nurse practitioners, targeted Education, and Triage to appropriate services to improve symptom management and outcomes will be called SIS.NET
#Intervention
