This study will enroll patients and collect blood samples from those who have a newly diagnosed cancer, are going to a procedure for a definitive diagnosis of cancer, or healthy control subjects. These samples that are being collected and banked will be used for future development of blood tests to detect lung cancer in future patients at the earliest stages.

Cancer caregivers in emerging and young adulthood (ages 18-35) are an underresearched and unsupported group of caregivers, and yet they are not uncommon. To address this critical support gap, the goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a caregiving support intervention specifically tailored for emerging and young adults caring for a parent with cancer. This phase of the study is intended to capture feedback on the intervention via focus groups with emerging and young adult caregivers of a parent with cancer.

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.

The goal is to evaluate how well etrasimod helps reduce symptoms by week 12 of treatment. This involves determining whether patients experience enough improvement to be considered in remission. The focus is on how the medication performs in everyday, real-world conditions.

The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the ASG device in the treatment of de novo Type A aortic dissections.

The purpose of this study is evaluate safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug in adults diagnosed with chronic urticaria (hives). The investigational drug is known as BLU-808 and will be taken daily orally. Participation in the study is expected to be approximately 18 weeks.

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.

This study is for adult patients with large brain metastases. The purpose of this study is to compare two different radiation therapy dose treatments: staged stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT). Both treatment options are currently used as standard of care. Participation in this study will include standard of care visits along with questionnaires completed for research purposes.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment that can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the effectiveness of this treatment varies among patients, and physicians currently have no way to predict who will benefit the most. This study will investigate whether the types of bacteria in a person's gut can help predict their response to DBS. By analyzing patient samples, we aim to identify biomarkers that could help doctors better select candidates for this procedure, ultimately leading to more successful treatment outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's disease.

This study is a non-interventional, multicenter investigation of patient outcomes, combining a retrospective medical chart review with prospective patient questionnaires. It focuses on patients receiving ritlecitinib, baricitinib, or standard of care (SOC) treatment for alopecia areata (AA). Prospective data will be collected over 12 months following the start of treatment. The study aims to enroll 300 adults (aged 18 and older) and 100 adolescents/minors (aged 12-17) from 20-25 sites across the USA. Among the adult participants, 100 will receive ritlecitinib, 100 baricitinib, and 100 SOC. The adolescent/minor group will include 50 receiving ritlecitinib and 50 SOC.
