The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the immune response in the blood, nose, and lungs after participants receive either the FDA-approved inactivated influenza vaccine or the FDA-approved intranasal FluMist vaccine. The study will evaluate immune responses in groups of healthy, non-pregnant, volunteers between the ages of 18 and 40. The main purpose of the study is to measure the change in influenza vaccine-specific antibodies in the lower lungs and nose between vaccination and 14 days after participants receive the vaccine. All participants will be randomized to receive one of the two seasonal flu vaccines and will have blood and back of the nose swabs collected throughout the study. Some study participants will choose to undergo optional bronchoscopy procedures and will be included in the part of the study looking at lower lung immune responses.

The investigators proposal is ripe for executing as the investigators seek to leverage this "natural experiment" initiated by the BJC health system to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink & Pearl Campaign as an implementation strategy to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at BJC West County. This evaluation is grounded in the Integrated Screening Action Model that depicts individual- and environmental-level influences on the screening behavior process. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research questions and specific aims for this proposal are to: a) evaluate the baseline prevalence of LCS among LCS-eligible women; b) assess whether the Pink & Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/ completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; and c) evaluate individual and environmental factors influencing LCS uptake, and implementation outcomes of the campaign. These implementation outcomes will help identify whether the campaign was put in place successfully or not. This proposal will inform strategies for integrating cancer screening programs to improve poorly performing programs like LCS.

The ALL ALS Clinical Research Consortium is establishing research to collect a wide range of samples, clinical information and measurements from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) symptomatic, ALS gene carriers and control cohorts. This consortium is being funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH/NINDS) and managed by two clinical coordinating centers (CCC) at Barrow Neurological Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital. The clinical sites are distributed across the country, and led by a group of collaborative principal investigators. Once data and samples are collected and harmonized, it will be made available to research community for future research into ALS and related neurological diseases. ASSESS protocol is specific for symptomatic ALS and control participants. This protocol includes both on-site and off-site(remote) participants. The participants will be followed for 24 months (2 years), and will include collection of medical history, clinical outcomes, and blood samples once in 4 months. Additionally, the participants will complete patient reported outcomes and speech recordings once a month. Participants who are coming into clinic may also provide optional Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) samples.

This study is being done to assess mogamulizumab-associated rash in patients diagnosed with mycosis fungoides or sezary syndrome and treated with standard of care mogamulizumab. One of the most common side effects of mogamulizumab is a rash, currently named mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) which can look like MF or SS. However, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) does not indicate failure of mogamulizumab, and may be a sign that the drug is working. If not properly evaluated, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) could be misinterpreted as worsening of mycosis fungoides/sezary syndrome, which could lead doctors to recommend stopping mogamulizumab treatment early. The information learned by doing this research study may help tell the difference between mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) (sometimes also called "drug eruption") and worsening of the disease. It may also help to uncover information about the cause of mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR).

This phase Ib trial tests the safety and effectiveness of epcoritamab in treating patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell). It also binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving epcoritamab may be safe and effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell PTLD.

VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 ubiqutin-activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome) is a recently described disorder with severe hematologic and rheumatologic manifestations caused by somatic variants in the ubiquitin- activating enzyme gene, UBA1, that is acquired in hematopoietic progen1 expand

VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 ubiqutin-activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome) is a recently described disorder with severe hematologic and rheumatologic manifestations caused by somatic variants in the ubiquitin- activating enzyme gene, UBA1, that is acquired in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Patients are often debilitated by autoinflammatory symptoms and there is currently no standard of care available. There is a clinically unmet need for better therapies in VEXAS Syndrome. There have been no prospective clinical trials of JAK-I in VEXAS syndrome. The investigators hypothesize that pacritinib, as a JAK2/IRAK1 inhibitor with a manageable safety profile in myelofibrosis patients with thrombocytopenia, will improve the autoinflammatory and hematologic manifestations of VEXAS syndrome with a tolerable toxicity profile. The investigators propose a single arm, pilot Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of pacritinib in patients with VEXAS syndrome with an initial safety run-in phase of 6 patients treated with pacritinib 200mg twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 of a continuous 28 day cycle. If no more than 1 patient experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the investigators will enroll an expansion cohort to gain additional toxicity and efficacy data, for a total enrollment of 15 patients. If more than 1 patient experiences a DLT during the safety run-in phase, the investigators will decrease the dose to 100 mg BID, and if no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT, the investigators will complete the expansion cohort as above for up to a total enrollment of 15 patients. If more than 1 patient experiences a DLT at 100 mg BID, the investigators will discontinue the study. Patients will be treated for up to 12 cycles.

These objectives build and synergize on existing multi-institutional collaborative networks and the considerable clinical, basic science, and translational expertise available at our institutions, focusing on improving the outcomes of patients with BE and EAC. The overarching organization framework for this RC proposal is 1) to focus laboratory research on understanding the genetic susceptibility, genomic and epigenetic changes that influence the development of BE and EAC; and 2) to then translate laboratorydiscoveries into clinical applications for effective detection, molecular risk stratification, and prevention of progression from BE to EAC.
