Filter by:Physical inactivity is a key risk factor for noncommunicable illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease-the two leading causes of death in West Virginia. The World Health Organization recommends muscle-strengthening activities 2 or more days per week and a minimum of either 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week. Yet, only one in five adults in the United States meets these recommendations. Even more alarming is that 33.2% of West Virginians report that they did not engage in any physical activity in the past month. Incentive-based interventions increase physical activity in the short term, but incentives for healthy behavior are generally discontinued after some period of time, and relapse of unhealthy behavior is common. Thus, there is a critical need to develop interventions that result in both immediate and lasting engagement in activity. The overall objective and specific aim of the proposed project is to evaluate a brief laboratory model of relapse into sedentary behavior following incentive-based interventions that is based on Behavioral Momentum Theory. The central hypothesis is that incentives will increase activity, but relapse will occur in the brief model, like what occurs in extended clinical treatment. Development of a laboratory model of relapse into sedentary behavior (the expected outcome of the proposed project) will inform future translational research, eventually leading to clinical applications of large-scale physical-activity interventions that result in significant and immediate behavior change and that minimize relapse.
Recurrence is a common problem after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, affecting at least one out of three patients. Inflammation due to the procedure may contribute to pulmonary vein reconnection and, thus, failure of catheter ablation. This pilot study will assess whether a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial investigating a 10-day treatment with colchicine, a potent anti-inflammatory drug, to improve patient relevant outcomes after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is feasible.
The combination of regional hyperthermia and salvage radiotherapy is being tested in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.
This phase I trial studies the best dose of copanlisib when given together with combination chemotherapy (R-GCD) in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or grade 3b follicular lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) after 1 prior line of therapy. Copanlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, carboplatin, and dexamethasone, 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. Giving copanlisib together with R-GCD as second line therapy may improve the complete response rate for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma.
Atrial fibrillation and inflammation are strongly correlated. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether inflammation markers (alpha Defensin) predict maintenance of sinus rhythm following cardioversion. A secondary aim is to evaluate the role of Colchicine, an anti-inflammatory medication, in reducing the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to find out if a new drug, M4344, is safe and has beneficial effects when given in combination with the PARP inhibitor, Niraparib, in women with recurrent ovarian cancer that has progressed while on a PARP inhibitor.
The relationship between immune inflammation-related protein complexes in blood and recurrence or metastasis of breast cancer with completed standard treatment will be studied.
Development of mole was not associated with segregation of mutated NLRP7 allele in the haploid oocyte. We hypothesize NLRP7 is a maternal factor involved in regulating early embryo development or embryo-uterine interaction. In the proposed study, we seek to identify novel genetic variants and mutations of NLRP7 in women who experienced RM/HM. Genetic association study and haplotype analysis are performed to test assocation between NLRP7 gene and female reproductive performance. Immunohistochemical staining, RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis are used to investigate expression pattern of NLRP7 in endometrium and placenta. Two approaches are used to characterize functional significance of genetic variants/mutations. The first approach will be based on mutagenesis and the second approach will be based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Results obtained from the proposed study will provide novel insight into mechanism of embryo development and implantation.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of gilteritinib and to see how well it works in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in treating patients with FLT3-mutation positive acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib may work better compared to azacitidine and venetoclax alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm.
A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Clinical Activity of Orally Administered LP-108 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Azacitidine in Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
