Clinical Trials

The Heartland Study is a prospective, observational study that will enroll up to 2,600 pregnant participants across the Heartland States in the U.S. The objective of the Heartland Study is to address major knowledge gaps concerning the health effects of herbicides on maternal and infant health. The study is being conducted to evaluate the associations between environmental exposures to herbicides during and after pregnancy and reproductive health outcomes. The study is measuring multiple biomarkers of herbicide exposure among pregnant Midwesterners and their partners to evaluate associations with pregnancy and childbirth outcomes, epigenetic biomarkers of exposure, and child development.

This phase III trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.

This is a Prospective Observational Cohort Study, designed to better characterize patients with cancer cachexia (CC) by prospectively evaluating weight, muscle mass, fat mass, eating and appetite, physical function, symptoms, and associated medical and biopsychosocial factors. CC was defined by an international consensus panel as a “multifactorial syndrome characterized by an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass (with or without loss of fat mass) that cannot be fully reversed by conventional nutritional support and leads to progressive functional impairment1.” CC has been associated with reduced physical performance, impaired quality of life and poorer survival. Unfortunately, there currently are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for CC. Therefore, therapeutic development for CC is an urgent unmet need. The diagnostic criteria for CC as defined by the international consensus are as follows: a) greater than 5% weight loss in the previous 6 months or b) greater than 2% weight loss with either low Body Mass Index (BMI) or skeletal muscle depletion. A key criticism of the diagnostic criteria is that it is too broad and simplistic for a complex, multifactorial disease process and that it relies too heavily on weight, which is subject to change from a myriad of conditions. The aim of this study will be to develop new diagnostic criteria for CC subtypes so that pathophysiologic drivers of CC can be isolated in individuals and, ultimately, more tailored therapies can be developed.

This study examines the side effects that occur from receiving immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitor) in patients with malignant solid tumors. Immunotherapy is the type of treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. In the future, this information may help participants and their doctors make better decisions about cancer treatments.

The primary objective is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis (“VBX Device” or also referred to as “VBX Stent Graft”) when used in covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) to treat AIOD.

This is a prospective cohort study that examines the impact of myopenia on chemotherapy toxicity in overall survival (OS) in older adults with newly diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving 5-Fluouracil (5FU)systemic chemotherapy. The study also explores the mediating influence of genetic variation in the association between myopenia and chemotherapy toxicity.

To determine whether an Internet-based pain coping skills program plus enhanced usual care, compared to enhanced usual care alone, yields significant improvements in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)) and pain interference (also measured by the BPI) from baseline to the post-intervention assessment for cancer survivors with persistent pain.
