This is an OLE study for subjects completing from one of two double-blind clinical
trials. Subjects must have completed the Week 13 visit from one of these two parent
clinical trials to be eligible for this OLE.
This collaborative study was developed by the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) and supported by the Thoracic Surgery Oncology Group (TSOG). The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify genetic changes in the tumors or blood of patients with early-stage lung cancers using both blood-based and tumor-based testing when cancer is suspected or first diagnosed. In this trial, participants will be asked to provide blood samples at three different time points. They will also be asked for permission for tumor tissue to be sent to the researchers. Tumor tissue will be collected if there is a leftover sample from a participant's surgery. These samples will be sent to the researchers to be analyzed for genetic changes. The researchers hope that in the future, genetic changes can help doctors determine what the best treatment is for patients with early-stage lung cancer.
The goal of this study is to develop a biorepository to store pediatric biospecimens from nephrology cohorts for on-going and future research studies. These studies plan to advance the state of science in the hopes to find more information that potentially leads to developing novel diagnostic approaches and identify therapeutic targets to prevent and/or treat pediatric disease involving the kidneys.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the continuous use of negative pressure dressings for up to 14 days has similar benefits and risks to the continuous use for up to 7 days. The 3M study product being used in this study includes the PREVENA Plus Incision Management System with PREVENA Dressings (Peel & Place, Customizable and ARTHRO●FORM). The study product is considered investigational because it has not been approved by the FDA for continuous use for up to 14 days. It is currently approved for use for up to 7 days.
This is a randomized study to test a smartphone app that a pharmacist will use to help kidney transplant patients track their medications, blood pressures, and blood sugars if they have diabetes. The goal of this study is to improve care and outcomes in kidney transplant patients and, in particular, help African American patients have better outcomes after transplant.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and their doctor has recommended external beam radiation therapy. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the side effects of a shorter course of radiation called stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). The expected duration of the study is up to 28 months including one to four months prior to radiation therapy for treatment preparation, two weeks during radiation therapy, and 24 months after radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effectiveness, outcomes, and safety (before, during, and after study procedures) of the Inter Atrial Shunt Device (IASD) in the treatment of subjects with heart failure symptoms and relatively normal pumping of the heart. This study involves the use of an investigational medical device called the Corvia Atrial Shunt (CAS) System. The CAS is permanently implanted in the heart to reduce the increased pressure in the left side of the heart by creating a small opening between the two upper chambers of the heart. Participants will have a 50% chance of being in either group A having the CAS placed or group B and not receiving the device. Subjects will have 7 research clinic visits, and multiple telephone calls for a total of 5 years of follow-up. The research clinic visits will include medical exams, health questionnaires, ECG and echocardiogram of the heart and 6 minute hall walk tests.

This proposal is to contribute to data registry and sample bank called Pediatrics Biorepository for Cardiology Clinical Research. Samples collected in this study may be used for future research which plan to advance the state of science in the hopes to develop new ways to diagnose and treat children affected with heart conditions.
This study is for patients with cancer in the stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophogeal junction. The study is being done to see if by adding a third chemotherapy drug to the usual combination of two chemotherapy drugs is better or worse than the usual approach for treatment.
