The first purpose of this study is to test the safety of the addition of a drug called inotuzumab to the usual chemotherapy drugs used for adolescent young adults (ages 18-39). Inotuzumab is investigational and is not FDA-approved. Additionally,this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using …
This is an observational study that will compare the differences in lymphatic flow and anatomy of the central lymphatic system on MRL in the liver cirrhosis patients with and without ascites. In the second part of the study, MRL anatomical and flow changes in the central lymphatic system of patients …
For subjects age 18 years and older who are at an increased risk for HCC and for whom HCC surveillance is appropriate, including subjects with cirrhosis or non-cirrhotic subjects with Hepatitis B. Approximately 3,000 subjects are expected to be enrolled, comprised of approximately 2,222 ultrasound surveillance subjects and 778 subjects …
This research study seeks to validate how echocardiogram (echo) data predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) provided by a CRT device with a defibrillator (CRT-D) in individuals without the heart arrhythmia abnormality left bundle branch block (LBBB). It also aims to identify new variables recorded from electrocardiograms (ECG) or …
We propose a prospective longitudinal cohort of radiation therapy cardiotoxicity in in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with definitive chemoradiation. We will enroll patients prior to start of chemoradiation and follow them with echocardiogram, PET/CT stress test, blood draw, and symptoms/activity surveys for 2 years to …

This study employs a multi-center approach to evaluate cutaneous vasculitis across several forms of idiopathic vasculitis. Patients with cutaneous manifestations of vasculitis will be evaluated by teams of primary vasculitis care providers and Dermatologists in order to facilitate optimal selection of patients and sampling of lesions. A punch skin biopsy …
The primary objective of our proposed trial will be to test the hypothesis that a prolonged, unresolved skin inflammation coupled with musculoskeletal power-doppler ultrasound (MSKPDUS) abnormalities driven by IL-23 increase the risk for transition into PsA and that an intervention that targets one of these pivotal molecules (i.e., Guselkumab) will: …
