NCT03395756
Background: The prevalence of repeat unprotected intercourse after EC use in the same cycle demonstrate the need for more self-bridging emergency contraceptive options. We propose the use of intramuscular Depot Medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) as EC, which has been shown to inhibit follicular activity within 24 hours, and provide on-going contraception via suppression or disruption of ovulation. Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the potential of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) given as a 150-mg intramuscular injection for use as an emergency contraceptive. Study population: Healthy regularly menstruating women aged 18-39 years old will be invited to participate if they fulfill inclusion criteria. The participants will undergo a screening visit during the midluteal phase of their cycle, and will be enrolled if a serum progesterone level is \>3ng/ml. Methodology: Participants will be assigned to one of three groups based on leading follicle size. Starting cycle Day 8, transvaginal ultrasounds will be performed to assess the size of the leading follicle. Once the follicle has reached the pre-assigned size, 150 mg IM DMPA will be administered. Blood will be collected for baseline hormonal assays. For 5 consecutive days, daily blood will be drawn for hormonal assays and daily transvaginal ultrasound will be performed to assess for signs of ovulation. The participant will then return for twice weekly progesterone levels for 2 weeks for study completion.

The primary purpose of this phase II clinical trial is to determine the safety and effect on survival of patients autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous tumor lysate as a treatment for low-grade glioma patients. Other goals of this study are to determine if the vaccine can cause an immune response against patients' cancer cells and slow the growth of their brain tumors
