open study

Advanced liver disease is a serious illness that disproportionately affects Veterans, many of whom hope for curative liver transplantation. However, too few receive a transplant and most continue to suffer from increasing symptoms and hospitalizations. The proposed project uses a whole person, Veteran-centered approach that identifies Veterans with advanced liver disease using a population-based health management system and integrates curative and early supportive care using a telemedicine-based nurse care counselor to (1) discuss patient's understanding of illness severity and prognosis, (2) identify priorities and care preferences and (3) align curative and supportive care options to achieve patient priorities. Study outcomes include changes in (1) rates of consideration for liver transplantation, and (2) completion of serious illness discussions. Findings will inform adaptations to the intervention and facilitators for its dissemination.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following cardiac surgery and leads to worse outcomes. POAF is thought to be caused by the inflammatory state following cardiac surgery. It may be that anti-inflammatory medications could lower the occurrence of POAF, however many typical anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, are contraindicated in the post cardiac surgery patient due to increased risks of bleeding. If a drug was identified with anti-inflammatory properties with minimal deleterious side effects, this could be broadly applied to cardiac surgery patients for the prevention of POAF. Interestingly, several small trials have shown that medications that alter transcription of inflammatory markers lead to decreased POAF. Furthermore, we have shown that phytochemicals, such as those found in grapes, have excellent bioavailability and can affect cardiac gene transcription related to inflammation. In this study, we propose to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative administration of concentrated grape powder in the prevention of POAF.

open study

This study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab (called "study drug"). The study is focused on participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are eligible for high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (transplant-eligible) or ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (transplant-ineligible). The aim of this clinical trial is to study the safety, tolerability (how the body reacts to the drug), and effectiveness (tumor shrinkage) of linvoseltamab in study participants with NDMM as a first step in determining if the study drug has a role in the treatment of NDMM. This study consists of 2 phases: - In Phase 1 Parts A and B, the study drug will be given to participants to study the side effects of the study drug and to establish the regimen (initial doses and full dose) of the study drug to be given to participants in Phase 2. - In Phase 1 Part C, the study drug will be given to participants to study the side effects when using different initial doses of the study drug. - In Phase 2, the study drug will be given to more participants to continue to assess the side effects of the study drug and to evaluate the activity of the study drug to shrink the tumor (multiple myeloma) in participants with NDMM. The study is looking at several research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking linvoseltamab? - What the right dosing regimen is for linvoseltamab? - How many participants treated with linvoseltamab have improvement of their disease and for how long? - The effects of linvoseltamab study treatment before and after transplant - How much linvoseltamab is in the blood at different times? - Whether the body makes antibodies against linvoseltamab (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects).

The goal of this study is to genrate evidence on long-term effectiveness and safety of SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin) in patients with growth hormone deficiency under routine clinical care

Type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Start Date: Mar 2023

open study

The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help researchers determine if observation will result in the same risk of cancer coming back as pembrolizumab after surgery in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

The purpose of this research is to determine if the use of RELiZORB™ improves nutrition tolerance and helps critically ill patients meet their nutrition goals. RELiZORB™ is a digestive enzyme cartridge that contains lipase and works as a pancreatic enzyme replacement. It promotes breaking down fat and helps the body absorb it. The device connects with tube feedings to help the body with digestion. RELiZORB™ is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use with tube feedings in patients 5 years of age or older. While the use of RELiZORB™ in this study is consistent with the FDA approval, the use of RELiZORB™ in patients with multi organ failure is not in the current standard of care practice at Inova Health Care facilities.

open study

This study assesses how blood cell growth patterns (clonal hematopoiesis) relate to heart health or cardiovascular disease (CVD) after treatment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. In some patients, cancer treatment at a young age may lead to later complications, including problems with heart health. Checking for blood cell growth patterns called therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (t-CH) can help predict who might be at risk for heart health problems after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. If doctors know who may be at greater risk for developing later heart complications, then they can more closely monitor those patients to prevent or detect heart complications early.

open study

The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo. Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.

Start Date: Mar 2023

open study

This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients is treatment with FOLFOX chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin is used with fluorouracil to enhance the effects of the drug. Oxaliplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Some patients also receive an immunotherapy drug, nivolumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Irinotecan blocks certain enzymes needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill tumor cells. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.
