NCT05461196
Background: Cesarean delivery is one of the most common obstetric procedures experienced among women who are pregnant.1 Women with Cesarean deliveries have a higher rate of peripartum opioid prescriptions and persistent opioid use compared to those with vaginal deliveries.2 Since 2002, prescription opioid use and misuse has significantly increased among women, including those who are pregnant, showing over 31% increase in past-month heroin use among women of childbearing age.3 This indicates the importance of focusing on maternal population for prescribed opioid medication management during the immediate postpartum period to prevent long-term persistent opioid misuse. Few evidence-based approaches are available to remotely manage prescription opioid use post-discharge.4 Recent advances in mobile technology have made it possible to monitor behavior and maintain communication in near real-time, long after patients are discharged from their surgical procedures.5-7 Using a virtual platform via use of mobile technology offers potential for sustainable implementation of a behavioral intervention and patient-provider communication even during the COVID-19 pandemic.8 Continuous Precision Medicine (CPM™; Research Triangle Park, NC) has developed a mobile app to overcome these barriers for tracking pain and pain medication use among post-surgery patients and tested the logistical and technological feasibility in postpartum patients at Temple OB/GYN. Collectively, our team brings expertise and collaborations between Temple University Hospital, RTI International, and CPM for the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: To examine the preliminary impact of the CPM mobile app to reduce the use of opioids among women post-Cesarean surgery Hypothesis 1: Patients using the CPM application will use fewer Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) compared to the blister package group. Aim 2: To establish correlates of pain medication use among women post-Cesarean surgery to estimate the appropriate recommendable dosages per model. Hypothesis 2: Structural and intermediary social determinants such as younger age, lower socioeconomic status, violence and trauma exposure, substance use disorder, and mental and physical health issues will be associated with more opioid medication use.
NCT04227275
Multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability and feasibility of dosing patients harboring metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with genetically modified autologous T cells (CART-PSMA-TGFβRDN cells) engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of recognizing the tumor antigen prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and activating the T cell.
NCT03013543

NCT01011478
RATIONALE: Rosuvastatin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving rosuvastatin after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It may also keep polyps from forming or colon cancer from coming back. It is not yet known whether rosuvastatin is more effective than a placebo in treating colon cancer that was removed by surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying rosuvastatin to see how well it works compared with placebo in treating patients with stage I or stage II colon cancer that was removed by surgery.
NCT05986006
Pseudarthrosis, a failure of bony fusion, is one of the most common causes of revision surgery following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The interbody spacer is an important component of bony fusion in ACDF, and we aim to compare machined allograft spacers versus iliac crest allograft in a randomized controlled trial.
NCT04750239

NCT01736072
The purpose of this study is to compare two different surgical procedures for the treatment of Rectal Cancer: Laparoscopic Surgery and Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery. The ROLARR study is for participants with cancer of the rectum for whom a laparoscopic operation (sometimes called "keyhole surgery") has been recommended by their surgeon. In the past most rectal cancers were removed using "open" surgery. Open surgery involves a large cut down the middle of the patient's abdomen to allow the surgeon to see and take out the cancer. On a previous study showed that using laparoscopic surgery to remove colorectal cancers was as good as open surgery for curing cancer. There is now another option to remove rectal cancers, which involves using a robotic system with laparoscopic surgery. This type of surgery is called "robotic-assisted" laparoscopic surgery and is now becoming widely used by surgeons to remove cancers including the rectum, as well as for other non-cancer operations. In order to perform robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon sits at a robotic control unit a few feet away from the patient. Using the robotic control unit, the surgeon can see a clear video image of the patient's abdomen and the operation site. The surgeon can perform the operation from the robotic control unit by controlling the movement of a set of robotic surgical instruments, guided by the video camera. Like standard laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon is able to carry out the entire operation through a few small cuts in the abdomen. The camera of the robotic system provides a 3D high-definition magnified view of the operation site and the robotic system is also able to translate the movements of the surgeon's hands into small precise movements inside the patient's body. We want to test whether robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is as good, or even better, at removing rectal cancers as standard laparoscopic surgery (actually Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is used as standard of care in rectal cancer patients at University of California, Irvine Medical Center). We also want to investigate whether using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery reduces the number of times a laparoscopic operation needs to be converted to an open operation, and see whether using a robotic system can also shorten the length of time patients need to stay in hospital and if it reduces the number of complications patients may have during and after their operation.
NCT03738800
This is a phase 2 randomized, multi-center, double-blind, vehicle controlled, 90 day, safety, efficacy, and systemic exposure study followed by a 90 day open-label extension of trifarotene cream in adults and adolescents with autosomal recessive ichthyosis with lamellar scale.
NCT05107661
Research efforts are necessary to identify strategies to increase colorectal screening in underserved patient populations. Racial, ethnic minorities and medically underserved individuals continue to experience disparities in colorectal cancer mortality despite the availability of screening tests that can detect tumors early when treatments are most effective.
NCT04590248
This Phase 2b study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adavosertib, an inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase WEE1, in subjects with recurrent or persistent uterine serous carcinoma (USC) who have previously received at least 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for the management of USC.

NCT03695380
The study will include a safety run-in phase (Stage 1) and a randomization phase (Stage 2). The purpose of Stage 1 is to evaluate the safety of cobimetinib when administered in combination with niraparib (Cohort 1) and cobimetinib with niraparib plus atezolizumab (Cohort 2). Stage 1 will enable patient enrollment in the randomized phase of the study (Stage 2) with both regimens at the recommended dose levels from Stage 1. Stage 2 is a randomized, dose-expansion phase, evaluating clinical outcomes in patients with advanced platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. All patients will continue to receive study treatment until disease progression (according to "Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors" (RECIST), Version 1.1, unacceptable toxicity, death, or patient or investigator decision to withdraw, whichever occurs first.
