PDS01ADC in Combination With Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump (HAIP) and Systemic Therapy for Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, or Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (Mcrc) · Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (Icc) · Intrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer

Background: One way to treat liver cancer is to deliver chemotherapy drugs only to the liver (and not to the whole body). Researchers want to see if adding the drug PDS01ADC can improve the treatment. The drug triggers the immune system to fight cancer.\<TAB\> Objective: To see if treatment with HAIPs to deliver liver-directed FUDR and Dexamethasone chemotherapy in combination with PDS01ADC is effective for certain cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who have cancer of the bile ducts that is only in the liver, or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, or cancer of the adrenal glands that has spread to the liver, who are also receiving or planning to receive standard systemic chemotherapy for their disease. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Pregnancy test (if needed) Tumor biopsy (if needed) Electrocardiogram Computed tomography (CT) scans Participants will have an abdominal operation. A catheter will be placed into an artery that feeds blood to the liver. The catheter will then be attached to the HAIP. The HAIP will lay under the skin on the left side of the abdomen. All participants will have liver-directed FUDR and Dexamethasone chemotherapy drugs or heparin with saline infused into the HAIP every 2 weeks. PDS01ADC will be injected under the skin every 4 weeks. They will receive this treatment until their cancer gets worse or they have bad side effects. Participants will also receive standard systemic chemotherapy for their disease, assigned based on diagnosis, through an IV by their medical oncologist (at NIH or by a local provider) every 2 weeks. Participants will have 2 study visits at NIH each month. They will have CT scans every 8 weeks. At visits, they will repeat some screening tests. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for 5 years.

A Study About How Blood Cell Growth Patterns Relate to Heart Health After Treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma

Cardiovascular Disorder · Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma · Clonal Hematopoiesis

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.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Studies of Cardiac Muscle Metabolism

Heart Failure, Congestive

The metabolism of the heart provides the chemical energy needed to fuel ongoing normal heart contraction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique used in a MRI scanner that can be used to measure and study heart metabolism directly but without blood sampling or obtaining tissue biopsies. One of the hypotheses this study aims to investigate is whether energy metabolism is reduced in heart failure and whether that contributes to the poor heart function.

Natural History of Uncommon Dyslipidemias, Rare Lipid Disorders and Unusual Atherosclerotic Conditions

Dyslipidemia · Atherosclerosis

Background: The right amount of fats in the blood (cholesterol and triglycerides) are a key part of a healthy organism. Too much or too little of these fats may manifest as diseases (dyslipidemia). There are many causes for these abnormalities, but some are genetically determined and we would like to better understand the progression of these conditions over time. Objective: This natural history study aims to learn more about dyslipidemias; how they change over time; and how they respond to therapy. We also want to develop new diagnosis methods for these conditions. With the knowledge we will acquire we hope to provide new insights, new approaches and improve the overall health of these patients. Eligibility: Individuals aged 10 years and older, residing both within and outside the United States, who have or are suspected of having a disorder that causes changes in the levels of fats in their blood (genetic dyslipidemias). Design: Participants residing within and outside the United States will be screened. Their medical records may be reviewed. They may talk to researchers about their medical history by phone, telehealth, or in person. All study visits are optional. Participants may visit the NIH up to 15 times per year, if needed. Each visit may include a physical exam and blood tests. Participants may also have an electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG measures the electrical activity when the heart beats. In some cases, participants may remain in the study for up to 20 years.

Impact of NMES and HPRO on Recovery After SAH- Pilot Study

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage · Muscle Atrophy · Inflammation

The study purpose is to investigate the hypothesis that in adults with SAH, early neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and high protein supplementation (HPRO) will improve muscle mass, metabolic and inflammatory biomarker profiles, compared to SAH controls receiving standard of care interventions for nutrition and mobilization. The investigators will accomplish this by studying the effects of a high protein (HPRO) nutritional treatment as well as NMES intervention have upon muscle wasting and motor strength acutely after SAH. This will be addressed in a prospective trial of SAH patients receiving HRPO with NMES as compared to age and severity-matched SAH patients undergoing standard of care interventions for nutrition and mobilization. Additionally, the study will investigate the impact HPRO and NMES interventions have upon inflammatory cytokines and markers of energy balance. Results of this study will establish evidence for precision nutrition plus early exercise to mitigate the catabolic and inflammatory state produced by SAH to improve muscle, metabolic, and health recovery outcomes.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Acute Ischemic Stroke

Many patients with acute ischemic stroke are ineligible for currently available standard treatments (clot-busting medication, also known as intravenous thrombolytic or mechanical removal of a clot), and many are non-responders, resulting in a low rate of excellent outcomes, which necessitates the development of novel therapies. In this study, investigators are testing a new treatment in which a weak electrical current will be applied via scalp electrodes to increase collateral blood flow to the brain and rescue the brain tissue at risk of injury. The primary aim is to find an optimal dose of this therapy that is both adequately safe and effective on imaging markers of brain tissue rescue.
