IORA: A012301 LoTam: A Randomized, Phase III Clinical Trial of Low-Dose Tamoxifen for Selected Patients with Molecular Low-Risk Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Cancer Internal Medicine Neurology Heart and Vascular Endocrinology Breast Cancer Stroke Vascular Disease Gynecologic Cancer Calcium and Bone Disorders Adult Subjects

This phase III trial compares the effect of low dose tamoxifen to usual hormonal therapy, including aromatase inhibitors, in treating post-menopausal women with hormone positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer. Tamoxifen is in a class of medications known as antiestrogens. It blocks the activity of estrogen (a female hormone) in the breast. This may stop the growth of some breast tumors that need estrogen to grow. Aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, prevent the formation of estradiol, a female hormone, by interfering with an aromatase enzyme. Aromatase inhibitors are used as a type of hormone therapy to treat postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer. Giving low dose tamoxifen may be more effective compared to usual hormone therapy in treating post-menopausal women with hormone-positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer.

ACNS2321: A Phase II Trial Evaluating Chemotherapy followed by Response-Based Reduced Radiation Therapy for Patients with Central Nervous System Germinomas

Cancer Pediatrics Neurology Heart and Vascular Stroke Vascular Disease Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects

This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

Combined Thrombectomy for Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke (DUSK Trial)

Neurology Stroke Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

A phase III, randomized, multi-center, investigational, open label clinical trial that will examine whether treatment with endovascular thrombectomy is superior to standard medical therapy alone in patients who suffer a Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Stroke within 12 hours from time last seen well

Strategy for Improving Stroke Treatment Response (SISTER) Trial

Neurology Stroke Adult Subjects

SISTER is a Phase-II, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded, dose finding trial that aims to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of TS23, a monoclonal antibody against the alpha-2 antiplasmin (a2-AP), in acute ischemic stroke.

A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Interventional Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the Route 92 Medical MonoPoint® Reperfusion System for Aspiration Embolectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Neurology Stroke Adult Subjects

The SUMMIT MAX study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, interventional clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Route 92 Medical MonoPoint® Reperfusion System with the Hi Point 88 and HiPoint 70 Reperfusion Catheters for aspiration thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Validation of Early Prognostic Data for Recovery Outcome after Stroke for Future, Higher Yield Trials (VERIFY)

Neurology Stroke Healthy Subjects Adult Subjects

VERIFY will validate biomarkers of upper extremity (UE) motor outcome in the acute ischemic stroke window for immediate use in clinical trials, and explore these biomarkers in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. VERIFY will create the first multicenter, large-scale, prospective dataset of clinical, transmagnetic stimulation (TMS), and MRI measures in the acute stroke time window.
