Summary

The purpose of this study is to see how well the combination of home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and prolonged exposure (PE) works in treating people with chronic pain (e.g., pain related to fibromyalgia, lower back pain, arthritis) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Participants must be a Veteran or Active-Duty service member with a diagnosis of PTSD and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants will receive 10 sessions of PE over 2 weeks (called Massed PE) and 10 sessions of tDCS.

Protocol S2414, A Randomized Phase III Trial Incorporating Pathologic Complete Response in Participants with Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer to Optimize Immunotherapy in the Adjuvant Setting (INSIGHT) (NCT06498635)

Researcher

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung
Summary

This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

GAIN-BCG: Gemcitabine Alternating With Intravesical BCG Randomized Against BCG Alone For Patients With Recurrent High Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Keywords
Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies
Summary

This study is for people with high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has returned after treatment with BCG. Your cancer either did not fully respond to BCG or came back after initially responding, which is called BCG-exposed NMIBC. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine, given directly into the bladder through a catheter, to BCG works better than BCG alone. In this study, you will either receive BCG alone for up to 6 weeks or gemcitabine plus BCG for up to 10 weeks, called induction therapy. If the treatment is effective, you may continue with maintenance therapy, which is either BCG alone or gemcitabine plus BCG given over several weeks. After treatment, your doctor will monitor you for 5 years with regular checkups, cystoscopies, and CT scans to watch for side effects or recurrence. The main risks are that the study treatment may not work as well as usual care, and it may cause side effects such as pain with urination, urinary urgency, blood in the urine, bladder inflammation, or urinary tract infection. There may also be risks that study doctors do not yet know about.
There will be a total of 17 patients enrolled locally over the course of 42 months.
