NCT02919956
Single ventricle lesions are the leading cause of illness and death from congenital heart disease. The modified Fontan Operation is the corrective surgery for these lesions. The operation is done in stages over a few years and children who complete the operation are known to have greater neurodevelopmental (ND) deficits than the general population. The purpose of this study is to understand how blood flow to the brain (CBF) and brain lesions relate to ND outcome, as well as how CMRO2 relates to anatomic brain lesions. These relationships will be studied through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ND Testing.
NCT01993810
This randomized phase III trial studies proton chemoradiotherapy to see how well it works compared to photon chemoradiotherapy in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, such as photon or proton beam radiation therapy, may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether proton chemoradiotherapy is more effective than photon chemoradiotherapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
