Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. This study is for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, or other solid tumors. E7386 in combination with levantinib fight tumors by decreasing tumor density. The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. E7386 is considered "experimental" because it has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any disease. Levantinib is FDA approved and has been previously used to treat cancer, however, it is considered experimental in combination with E7386.

This study is for patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) originating outside of the lung. This study is being done to see if the combination of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide better or worse than a platinum drug and etoposide for patients with advance or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma originating outside the lung

Characterization of barriers and facilitators of guideline concordant extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after major cancer surgery

Date Added

List of Studies


Keywords
Bowel, Cancer/Gastrointestinal, Surgery
Summary

While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications available to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reasons why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. We aim to characterize barriers and facilitators to extended blood clot prophylaxis guideline adherence as perceived by stakeholders via interviews with a diverse group of patients and surgeons at hospitals within the MUSC Health system that routinely perform cancer surgery. These findings will inform educational interventions to improve the use of guideline concordant care and mitigate observed disparities in cancer care.

Summary

This study is for patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer who in addition to the EGFR gene change (mutation) that was previously found in their tumor, testing found that their tumor also now has MET gene changes. The study is checking to see if a combination of 3 targeted drugs work together to lower the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading.

Effects of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure on Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function in Patients Undergoing Heart Transplant or Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

Michele Esposito

Summary

Patients with end stage heart failure (HF) exhibit abnormalities in their skeletal muscle, thought to be as a result of reduced blood flow to the muscle as their HF worsens. We will identify the relative nature of these changes by obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies in HF patients as well as healthy control subjects without HF. These biopsies will be from the right upper thigh as well as from the right calf muscle. We will compare these biopsies to identify if the changes we are seeing are in fact more severe in the calf compared to the thigh muscle.

Summary

Patients with chronic pancreatitis often suffer from severe abdominal pain that reduce their quality of life. The major purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of an infusion of the patient's own stem cells to relieve chronic pain. The stem cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow and grown in the clean lab to be used for treatment. After infusion into the vein, the participant will be followed for 12 months to evaluate their pain and other outcomes.

Summary

In this research study, we are examining how brain activity (electrical and blood flow) changes during tests of emotional processing and attention and memory in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. We are also using non-invasive brain stimulation to probe different parts of the brain and measuring brain activity (electrical and blood flow) alongside evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy. This study includes healthy and clinical participants and researchers hope this will help us develop improved brain-based treatments for emotional difficulties like depression.
