Historically, serial testing of patients with metastatic breast cancer has included a combination of physical exam, symptom evaluation, laboratory testing, and imaging. Circulating tumor biomarkers are sometimes also incorporated. Frequent testing with numerous diagnostics at each time point is a significant burden to patients and to healthcare systems. The DiviTumĀ® TKa assay measures TK1 activity. Numerous studies have illustrated the prognostic nature of plasma or serum TK1 activity level in metastatic cancer. The investigators hypothesize that the incorporation of data from DiviTumĀ® TKa measurement into the treatment monitoring schema will be associated with physician desire to change the near-term usage and/or timing of other routine restaging tests, including either standard tumor imaging or tumor marker testing. Given the relatively low rate of disease progression in this first-line population, it is expected that most of this change will be an intended reduction in scheduling of routine treatment surveillance testing with increase in intervals of subsequent tumor restaging imaging by at least 4 weeks. Secondarily, the consequences of rescheduling of routine surveillance testing may ultimately result in an absolute reduction in the number of some tests used during the time period examined.

The outcomes in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma refractory to triple-therapy (anti-CD38, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD) and proteasome inhibitors (PI)) remain poor. These patients are eligible for chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T), which rely on redirecting autologous T-cells to clear myeloma cells by targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). BCMA CAR-T therapy is not curative, and unlike autologous stem cell transplant, there is currently no standard for maintenance therapy post CAR-T which could potentially increase MRD rates and extend progression-free survival. Selinexor is an exportin (XPO1) inhibitor with direct anti-tumor effect used often as an adjunct with other agents as bridging therapy prior to CAR-T. As selinexor does not affect T-cell yields or fitness, T-cell collection on selinexor for CAR-T manufacturing is safe. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and toxicity of selinexor in triple-exposed or refractory multiple myeloma patients with high-risk features (adverse risk cytogenetics, less than complete response (CR) post CAR-T, or extramedullary disease) following BCMA CAR-T therapy. The investigators hypothesize that selinexor as maintenance therapy following CAR-T has the potential to act synergistically with CAR-T cells leading to more durable responses.

This study is being done to answer the following questions: Can we lower the chance of your gastric cancer from growing or spreading by administering paclitaxel chemotherapy directly into your abdominal cavity in addition to chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm? Will administering paclitaxel chemotherapy directly into your abdominal cavity, in addition to chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm help you live longer? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your gastric cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for gastric cancer. If you decide to take part in this study, you will first receive a surgical procedure called a diagnostic laparoscopy. This will help the study doctors learn more about your gastric cancer. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery for which you will be placed under general anesthesia. Then the surgeon will make small incisions (5mm) on your belly through which a camera and thin instruments are introduced to evaluate the abdomen. This procedure takes about 1 hour to complete. Your study group will be assigned during the surgery. The study groups are described further in the 'What are the study groups?' section below. If you are placed into the study group 1, you will not have an intraperitoneal port (a small device which is placed under the skin and fat of your upper abdomen and a tube that is placed into the abdomen). If you are placed into the study group 2, you will have an intraperitoneal port placed. The reason is that in addition to standard chemotherapy, which is given through a vein in your arm, this port will be used to deliver the medication paclitaxel directly inside your abdomen when you are ready to start study treatment. It is important to know that you will not know your study group until after the surgery is over. This is because information that is learned during the surgery will help determine which study group you are put in. Once you have fully healed from this surgery, you will start study treatment. Depending on which study group you are assigned, you will either receive a standard chemotherapy regimen (the regimen will be chosen by you and your doctor) if you are in study group 1, or paclitaxel through a tube in your belly plus chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm if you are in study group 2. All participants will get treatment for three (3) months after which you will undergo reevaluation. If the disease is under control or responding to treatment, you may continue the assigned treatment until your disease gets worse, the side effects become too severe, or you may be offered a surgical procedure to remove the cancer if the amount of disease is low and can be completely removed as determined by a surgeon. There is a very small chance that during the laparoscopy surgical procedure, the doctor might find something called "intra-abdominal adhesions". These are areas where the stomach has healed previously and created scar tissue. If this scar tissue prevents the surgeon from being able to place a port in the correct area, you would be ineligible to receive the study treatment. If this happens, you may still receive standard of care therapy after your surgery, but you will not be able to continue on the study. If you have more questions about this, you can ask your surgeon or the study team to help. After you finish your study treatment, your doctor or study team will watch you for side effects. They will continue to follow your condition every three (3) months during the first two (2) years, then every six (6) months until year 5. You may be reevaluated with Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis scans every three-six (3-6) months for up to five (5) years if decided by your doctor. Type: Interventional Start Date: Aug 2025 |

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate what type of treatment will be beneficial for people with Crohn's disease and difficult to treat inflammation in the small bowel. Current therapies are used to control the inflammation due to Crohn's disease in your digestive tract. In some patients, those therapies are not sufficient to fully treat the disease. This objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a different type of therapy, tirzepatide, that may promote healing of the affected intestinal segment. To evaluate the efficacy of this medication, a member of the research team will ask patients questions about how they feel and observe whether this medication heals the their bowel at colonoscopy. A member of the research team will also use blood samples, stool samples and samples of the small intestine taken during a colonoscopy to understand how tirzepatide helps heal the intestine.

Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. IL-6 is expressed by prostate cancer and within the tumor microenvironment and shown to enhance prostate cancer and disease progression.

Many people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) struggle to stay connected with others. They often lose friendships, become isolated, and have strained family relationships. This lack of social support is linked to worse physical and mental health, lower quality of life, and even a shorter lifespan. The investigators developed a program where a person with TBI and one close supporter work together with a therapist over 12 weekly sessions. They learn skills in communication, setting shared goals, supporting each other emotionally, and problem-solving, with occasional guidance from a peer mentor who has been through a similar experience. This study will determine whether the program is practical to deliver. We are conducting a pilot study with 30 pairs of participants to test whether sessions run smoothly, whether people show up and stay engaged, and whether participants find the program worthwhile. Based on what they learn, the investigators will refine this program before testing it on a larger scale. If successful, this could lead to a practical, low-risk intervention that improves the lives of people with TBI and the family members and friends who support them.
