CHARM II: Chemotherapy for Ablation and Resolution of Mucinous Pancreatic Cysts: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center Clinical Trial
This study seeks to verify the findings of the CHARM I pilot study by conducting a multi-center clinical trial. We hypothesize that:•Pancreatic cyst infusion with a specifically designed drug therapy cocktail following normal saline lavage will result in cyst destruction rates that do not significantly differ from those achieved by alcohol-based cyst treatment (ethanol lavage followed by infusion of the same chemotherapeutic cocktail).•The removal of alcohol from the procedure will decrease both serious and minor adverse event rates associated with pancreatic cyst treatment.•There may be molecular markers contained within the fluid of these cystic tumors which identify cysts that are favorable to or resistant to EUS-guided fine needle infusion using this drug combination. As such, we will test all treated cysts for 10 of the best known molecular markers for evaluation in post study analysis. We expect that administering a specifically designed chemotherapeutic cocktail without prior alcohol lavage will result in an equivalent rate of cyst resolution with fewer complications when compared to alcohol. The results of this study will provide important information about the most efficient and safest method for treating premalignant pancreatic cysts, an important step for treating these lesions with a minimally invasive technique and preventing their progression to cancer. Standard alternative treatment options for this patient group (if not taking part in this study) would be ongoing periodic radiographic monitoring with MR or CT imaging waiting for signs of cancer to develop or to consider surgical removal of the affected tissue.
Patients will have to sign the consent form to participate in the trial

A Randomized Phase II Trial of Adjuvant Pembrolizumab versus Observation Following Curative Resectionfor Stage I Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Primary Tumors Between 1-4 cm:Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium BTCRC-LUN18-153 (PSCI# 20-043)
This is a research study to find out if giving a drug called pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery does a better job at keeping the cancer from coming back than surgery alone. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to be followed closely by their doctor to watch in case the cancer returns. Participants in this study will be assigned by chance (flip of a coin) to be watched closely by their doctor or to receive a drug called pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is given as an infusion inthe clinic once every six weeks. . You will have tests, exams and procedures that are part of your regular care and for study purposes. You will have scans every 12 weeks to make sure the cancer hasn’t come back. If you are assigned to receive pembrolizumab, you can continue to receive it for up to 1 year.
If you decide to take part in this study, you will be assigned to one of two groups. This is called randomization. A computer will assign you to a group in the study by chance. This is done by chance because no one knows if one study group is better or worse than the other. You will have an equal chance (50/50) of being assigned to either group.

ENdoluminal LIGHT ActivatED Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (ENLIGHTED)
Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is a recurrent disease. The current standard treatment for most UTUC patients requires surgery either removing some of the ureter in each operation or radical nephroureterectomy (RNU-removal of kidney and ureter) but the role of minimally invasive & kidney- preserving methods is increasing. The use of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) was investigated in a Phase 1 clinical study in the minimally-invasive treatment of UTUC with the goal of identifying safe laser/light exposure and signs that the tumor has been reduced or eliminated. Early results from this study have been highly promising, revealing the effects of tumor removal with a positive safety profile, indicating the potential role of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) in the treatment of low-grade UTUC disease.This Phase 3 study is designed to provide confirmation of the observed Phase 1 findings. Patients are expected to remain in the study for 25 to 28 months. Participation in this study will include up to 9 study visits to Hershey Medical Center and 2 phone visits.
There are 4 stages to this study: screening phase, induction study treatment phase, maintenance study treatment phase and long-term follow-up phase.In screening you can expect to be asked questions about your medical history, MRI or CTU, blood and urine samples, physical exam, vitals, tumor assessment by ureteroscopy and biopsy under anesthesia.Induction Treatment Phase (1-3 months)•Participants undergo anesthesia and receive the study therapy 1 to 3 times, about 4 weeks apart. If a participant does not achieve Complete Response (CR)* after 3 treatments (or if their disease has progressed as defined in the protocol), the participant will be discontinued from the Treatment Phases and enter the Long-term Follow-up Phase.Maintenance Treatment Phase (12 months)•Participants who achieve CR* from Induction Treatment Phase will be followed for 12 months. Up to 3 repeated study therapy doses will be provided for participants who have treatable tumor recurrence as determined by the study doctor.Long-term Follow-up Phase (48 months)•Patients who achieve CR and then enter the maintenance treatment phase and who have a CR after the end of maintenance treatment phase will enter the Long-term Follow-up Phase and will be followed up for up to an additional 48 months in the Long-term Follow-up Phase or until recurrence, progression, death or loss to follow up, to document safety and ongoing response.•Patients discontinued from the treatment phases and who have received at least one study treatment will be followed up for additional 12 months in the long-term follow-up phase of the study from last VTP treatment.

SARS Cov-2 Nasal Pharyngeal and Oral Pharyngeal Wash (SNOW) Trial SARS Cov-2 Nasal Pharyngeal and Oral Pharyngeal Wash (SNOW) Trial
Adults recently diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection who use a 4-day combined intervention of nasal washes with 1% baby shampoo solution and oral gargles with Listerine Antiseptic® will have a reduced SARS-CoV-2 viral load compared to those using nasal and oral washes with normal saline. This combined intervention should be acceptable, tolerable and safe in this population. To test this, we are conducting a trial comparing the efficacy of a number of washes in reducing the oral and nasal SARS-CoV-2 viral load amongst adults.
At their home, participants will perform three nasal and oral rinses per day for 4 days and self-swab the nose and mouth before and after each morning rinse to collect specimens under the guidance of a zoom visit. On the morning of the 5th day participants will also self swab the nose and mouth for a final collection specimen. Participants will answer questions on an app and online platform.

Metabolic Alterations of the Semitendinosus Muscle After Tendon Harvest for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
This is a cohort study examining the changes in the muscle that occur following ACL injury and reconstruction. This study aims to determine if significant changes to the muscles properties occur as a result of the graft taken for ACL reconstruction, and whether or not these changes serve as a risk factor for further injuries. This study will examine the muscles ability to use oxygen non-invasively, an important determinant of muscle endurance and allow for comparisons of this between individuals with ACL-reconstruction surgery and healthy, non-injured adults.
Participants will have their leg muscle strength and endurance measured using common clinical techniques used in physical medicine and rehabilitation sciences. They will also have their mitochondrial capacity assessed through the skin using a non-invasive procedure.

PSCI 23-002 CAMBRIA-2: A Phase III, Open-Label, Randomised Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Camizestrant (AZD9833, a Next Generation, Oral Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader) Versus Standard Endocrine Therapy (Aromatase Inhibitor or Tamoxifen) as Adjuvant Treatment for Patients with ER+/HER2-Early Breast Cancer and an Intermediate-High or High Risk of Recurrence Who Have Completed Definitive Locoregional Treatment and Have No Evidence of Disease
We are asking you to take part in this voluntary research study because you have ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with no evidence of disease following surgery. The purpose of this voluntary research study is to better understand the studied disease and associated health problems.
Participants will be required to come to all study visits, take the medication an instructed, let the study team know what medications you are taking, especially over the counter ones and to report any changes in how you are feeling.
Patient must be ≥18 years
histologically confirmed ER+/HER2- early-stage resected invasive breast cancer
a history of previous breast cancer
Chronic gastrointestinal disease
Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 2 weeks of randomisation
PSCI 24-114: A Phase II Study Of Tailored Adjuvant Therapy In Pole-Mutated And P53- Wildtype/NSMP Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer (Rainbow Blue & Taper)
This study is to find out if there are types of early-stage endometrial cancer that require less treatment than the usual approach. Based on laboratory testing of the cancer and the extent of spread at time of surgery. The study doctor may recommend Sub-study A or Sub-study B. Based on this assessment, subjects may receive no therapy (observation) or less therapy (de-escalated therapy) than the subject would have received as part of your usual treatment.
Treatment that will be recommended to the subject will be based on laboratory testing of the cancer and the extent of spread at time of surgery. The study doctor might recommend that the subject participate in Sub-study A or Sub-study B. Based on this assessment, the subject may receive no therapy (observation) or less therapy (de-escalated therapy) than the subject would have received as part of their usual treatment After the subject finishes study treatment, and even if they stop treatment early, the study doctor will continue to follow the subject's condition, watch the subject for side effects and keep track of the subjects health. The subject will be seen after 3 months and 6 months, then every 6 months for 3 years, and then every year after starting the study until the study closes. The subject may be seen more often if subject's study doctor thinks it is necessary.
