Testing Shorter Duration Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy in Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

Prostate Adenocarcinoma · Stage III Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 · Stage IVA Prostate Cancer AJCC v8

This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

A Study of Treatment for Medulloblastoma Using Sodium Thiosulfate to Reduce Hearing Loss

Childhood Medulloblastoma

This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower chance of the cancer coming back than subjects with average-risk medulloblastoma. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effective at treating the cancer, there are still concerns about the side effects of such treatment. Side effects or unintended health conditions that arise due to treatment include learning difficulties, hearing loss or other issues in performing daily activities. Standard therapy for newly diagnosed average-risk or low-risk medulloblastoma includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy (including cisplatin). Cisplatin may cause hearing loss as a side effect. In the average-risk medulloblastoma patients, this trial tests whether the addition of sodium thiosulfate (STS) to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy reduces hearing loss. Previous studies with STS have shown that it may help reduce or prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin. In the low-risk medulloblastoma patients, the study tests whether a less intense therapy (reduced radiation) can provide the same benefits as the more intense therapy. The less intense therapy may cause fewer side effects. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. The overall goals of this study are to see if giving STS along with standard treatment (radiation therapy and chemotherapy) will reduce hearing loss in medulloblastoma patients and to compare the overall outcome of patients with medulloblastoma treated with STS to patients treated without STS on a previous study in order to make sure that survival and recurrence of tumor is not worsened.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Coronary Artery Disease · Vascularization

Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 16% of the world's total deaths. The number of cases is expected to increase as our population ages. Heart disease also results in large economic burden. It costs the United States about $219 billion per year. Some patients have symptoms that aren't helped by drugs or other medical treatments. These patients will need a surgery that is called cardiac artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. CABG helps to improve chest pain which is one of the most common complaints of heart disease, and has life-prolonging potential. A limitation of CABG is that it results in increased inflammation. These patients also report high levels of anxiety and depression. Depression and anxiety in the several days surrounding surgery are related to several important things. These include worse health outcomes, worse quality of life, increased risk of death, and increased health care cost. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a kind of therapy. ACT is adaptable, easy to access, and effective in brief formats. ACT has been gaining evidence for its use in many patient samples. Few studies have used ACT with heart disease patients. No known studies currently exist that have used ACT within the few days surrounding CABG surgery. To address this need, the investigators will conduct a two-arm feasibility randomized control trial (RCT). Patients will be randomized to one of two groups. The first group will complete a brief, 2-session telehealth ACT intervention. The second group will be a control group. The control will consist of treatment as usual. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of this brief ACT intervention delivered in the peri-operative period. The investigators will also examine preliminary efficacy of the ACT intervention. The investigators will examine anxiety, depression, psychological inflexibility, well-being, and cardiovascular health-related quality of life. The investigators will also examine the intervention's impact on inflammation by measuring two inflammatory markers. The results from this study will also lay the groundwork for larger or multiple site RCT studies.

Progestins for the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer or Precancers of the Uterus Before Surgery, The Pro-Window Trial

Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma · Endometrial Hyperplasia

This phase II trial tests compares the effect of progestins, megestrol acetate to micronized progesterone, in treating patients with endometrial cancer and precancers of the uterus (atypical endometrial hyperplasia) before surgery. Progestins, similar to the natural hormone progesterone, are approved drugs used in birth control and hormone replacement pills, and some can treat uterine endometrial cancers. In the initial comparison of this rotating umbrella trial, megestrol acetate, a progestin, will be compared to micronized progesterone, a form of natural progesterone that is a hormone produced by body normally. Hormone therapy using megestrol acetate and micronized progesterone may be effective in treating patients with endometrial cancer or atypical endometrial hyperplasia before surgery, and understanding the tissue effects of each agent on the malignant endometrium will uncover novel mechanistic and biomarker data to understand how best to advanced hormone therapy for endometrial cancer.

Genetic Epidemiology of Rotator Cuff Tears: The cuffGEN Study

Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common reasons to seek musculoskeletal care, and cuff repair is one of the fastest growing ambulatory surgery procedures. However, the etiology of cuff tears, reasons for variability treatment success, and causes of FI are poorly understood. A large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using imaging-verified rotator cuff tear cases and controls can address limitations in rigor of prior research and assess the genetic basis of FI and functional outcomes of cuff tear treatments. Primary Objective: To conduct a case-control GWAS of imaging-verified symptomatic rotator cuff tear in approximately 3000-6000 individuals and replicate findings in an independent set of 3000-6000 or more imaging-verified individuals to identify common variants in several genetic loci that increase risk for rotator cuff tears. Hypothesis: Common variants in several genetic loci increase risk for rotator cuff tears. Secondary Objectives: 1. To perform an imputed transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) to identify and prioritize gene targets associated with rotator cuff tear by integrating GWAS summary statistics and gene-expression weights from muscle and adipose tissue available in the GTEx project. Hypothesis: Genetically predicted gene expression of multiple genes in muscle and adipose tissue are associated with rotator cuff tear. 2. To identify if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with rotator cuff tear and their genetic risk score (GRS) predict improved pain and function as measured by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Form (ASES) and other outcome measures. Hypothesis: Select SNPs and GRS predict ASES outcome. 3. To identify genetic variants associated with Fatty Infiltration (FI) in patients with cuff tears in a two stage GWAS of imaged rotator cuffs and to prioritize gene targets through an imputed-TWAS in muscle and adipose tissue. Hypothesis: Multiple genetic variants are associated with FI and some exert their influence by altering gene expression in the muscle and adipose tissue.
