This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without personalized synthetic long peptide vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without neoantigen vaccine will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare oxytocin infusion rates for induction and augmentation of labor in nulliparous women. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect length of induction to delivery interval? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect mode of delivery? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect maternal and neonatal outcomes? Participants will be randomized to either low- or high-dose oxytocin groups: - The low dose group will receive an infusion to start at 2 milli-units/min and will be increased by 2 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. The maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min. - The high dose group will receive an infusion to start at 6 milli-units/min and will be increased by 6 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. Maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min. Type: Interventional Start Date: Apr 2023 |

This phase II trial compares the effect of adding ipatasertib to pembrolizumab (standard immunotherapy) vs. pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. 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. Giving ipatasertib in combination with pembrolizumab may be more effective than pembrolizumab alone in improving some outcomes in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.

Heart failure (HF) remains one of the most common causes of hospitalization with high morbidity and mortality, and its worldwide prevalence is increasing. Despite notable progress in outcomes for HF the rate of early rehospitalization for HF (re-HHF) remains high, especially in the first 30 days. The rate of 30-day HF rehospitalization in the claims databases of the USA and in worldwide randomized clinical trials is 20-25% and 5-10% respectively. In patients with bilateral leg edema, the presence of CHF (congestive heart failure) as the factor causing or worsening local leg swelling should be evaluated. Application of local leg compression can be considered in stable CHF patients without decompensated heart function (NYHA Class I and II) for both CHF-related edema treatment and for treatment of concomitant diseases leading to leg swelling occurrence. Current literature does not have recommendations on the routine use of lower limb compression in leg swelling related to end stage heart disease and advanced, decompensated heart failure. Potential benefits of applying medical compression in more severe classes of CHF (NYHA Class III and IV) would need to be evaluated by further randomized clinical studies to determine which cohort of patients would benefit most from lower limb compression, as well as to choose the safest and most efficient compression protocol for these patients. The AIM of this study is to improve the clinical outcome of patients admitted with exacerbation of heart failure with associated volume overload. The primary objectives are: 1) diminish the duration of hospitalization of CHF patients; 2) decrease the incidence of rehospitalization from CHF exacerbation and 3) prevent local complications associated with prolonged lower extremity edema. The investigators hypothesize that the application of local compression to bilateral lower extremities, when added to guideline-based therapy for CHF exacerbation, will improve overall clinical outcome in patients at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). If our intervention is proven to be beneficial, it could lead to a significant reduction in nationwide hospitalization costs associated with heart failure. Type: Interventional Start Date: Apr 2022 |

This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2 positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors, and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1 and tucatinib may work better in preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer compared to T-DM1 alone. Type: Interventional Start Date: Jan 2021 |

This phase II trial tests whether TRC102 (methoxyamine hydrochloride) in combination usual care treatment comprised of pemetrexed, cisplatin or carboplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TRC102 is in a class of drugs called antineoplastic agents. It blocks the ability of a cell to repair damage to its DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also help some anticancer drugs work better. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as 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. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving TRC102 in combination with usual care treatment may be more effective than usual care treatment alone in stabilizing and lengthening survival time in patients with stage III non-squamous NSCLC.

Objectives: This protocol addresses the first phase of a larger project funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to help heavy smokers make informed decisions about lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT). A separate IRB protocol will be submitted for the larger, comparative study. In this initial development phase, our prototype patient decision aid will be updated to reflect current guidelines about lung cancer screening. The updated aid will then be pilot-tested in a new sample of patients. In addition, several of the study measures will be refined and further developed in preparation for the larger study. The specific aims of the measures and decision aid development phase of this project are as follows: Update the aid to reflect current screening guidelines and refine the aid via cognitive testing with patients/smokers; and pilot test the updated aid for acceptability with patients/smokers. Modify our current measure of lung cancer knowledge, conduct cognitive testing of the new measure with patients/smokers, and evaluate the reliability of the new measure in a sample patients/smokers.
