NCT01515787
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
NCT06234085
The goal of this randomized, single-blinded, educational study is to test the effect of providing crowdsourced ratings and feedback to second-year (PGY2) internal medicine (IM) and family medicine (FM) resident physicians' about their adverse event communication skills. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Is the intervention of providing reports with personal performance feedback and recommendations for effective error disclosure associated with higher ratings of resident error disclosure skills? Participants will perform simulated error disclosure with a software tool called the Video-based Communication Assessment (VCA). Participants will be randomized to receive feedback reports (intervention) or not (control). Participants receiving the intervention will be asked to review their feedback and all participants will use the VCA again approximately 4 weeks later with different patient cases.

NCT06004141
The overall goal of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of using a behavioral coaching intervention (Laguna Health) for optimizing post-hospital discharge care in patients with cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned into one of the study groups: the behavioral coaching intervention (Laguna Health) + usual care versus usual care alone. The Laguna Health intervention has several components: 1. Post-Discharge Recovery Coaching with a Laguna Health recovery coach to help patients identify barriers to post-discharge recovery 2. Digital psycho-educational content tailored to the needs of patients with cancer 3. Personal healthcare summaries 4. Digital content and coaching on behavioral strategies to promote self-efficacy
NCT03052127
The primary objective is to assess the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of one of three dose levels and repeat dose regimens of Light-activated AU-011 and one or two laser applications for the treatment of subjects with primary choroidal melanoma.
NCT04356859
This is a prospective randomized multi-center study which will compare acute fluid resuscitation using a colloid strategy (LR + 5% Albumin) to a crystalloid strategy (LR alone), in adults with an acute burn involving at least 25% of their total body surface area.
NCT01922076
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of adavosertib when given together with local radiation therapy in treating children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas. Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving adavosertib with local radiation therapy may work better than local radiation therapy alone in treating diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.
NCT00031512
A common group of viruses that infect humans are enteroviruses. Enteroviruses produce illnesses in children which may range from very mild (summer colds) to severe (infections of the brain, liver, and heart). The purpose of this study is to determine if a new drug called pleconaril helps treat babies with enteroviral sepsis. In addition, researchers are attempting to determine a safe and effective dose of pleconaril to help babies with this disease. Infants who are 15 days or younger when diagnosed with enteroviral disease are eligible for this study. Two out of 3 babies will be randomly assigned to receive Pleconaril and the other one out of three will receive a placebo (inactive substitute). Participants will be hospitalized while receiving study medication. Babies will receive standard treatment care for their symptoms and will be observed for their medical progress. Participants may be in the study for up to 2 years.
NCT04296864
This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, efficacy, safety, and tolerability study evaluating the efficacy of Dupilumab in the treatment of signs and symptoms of atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC).
NCT03421561
The ILLUMENATE Pivotal PAS is a continued follow-up study which will include 300 subjects from forty-three (43) sites across the United States and Austria previously enrolled in the ILLUMENATE Pivotal pre-market study to evaluate the Stellarex DCB compared to the PTA control device for the treatment of de-novo or post-PTA occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic (except for in-stent) SFA and/or popliteal arteries.
NCT03093961

NCT05936502
Extranodal extension (ENE) refers to the spread of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) outside the lymph nodes. It is a well-known factor that indicates a poorer prognosis and outcome for patients who have undergone surgical removal of the cancer. In such cases, it is recommended to combine chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery. As the number of cases of HNSCC related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) is increasing, treatment approaches have shifted towards using radiation therapy as the primary treatment method instead of surgery. This raises an important question about the significance of ENE observed through imaging tests (referred to as iENE) and its impact on the prognosis. Unfortunately, this question remains unanswered. The objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive study across multiple medical institutions. The investigators will gather data including scan results, histopathology reports, and data from patient charts from individuals who have been treated for head and neck cancer. The aim is to analyze and correlate the findings between the pathological evidence of ENE and the imaging results, while also assessing the prognostic value of iENE. Additionally, the investigators will explore the influence of HPV status on these factors. By collecting and analyzing this data, the investigators hope to establish standardized criteria that can assist radiologists in accurately identifying ENE through imaging tests. This research is essential for enhancing our understanding of HNSCC and improving the effectiveness of diagnostic procedures and treatment planning.
NCT01186328
An experimental drug called EZN-3042 targets survivin, a protein expressed in leukemia cells at relapse that promotes the leukemia cells to grow.
