Background: Sleep disturbances are among the most common and severe symptoms reported by people with primary brain tumors (PBT). Smart wearable devices like Fitbits may be able to give detailed data about people s sleep and circadian rhythms. In this study, researchers will use Fitbits to learn more about sleep disruptions caused by tumors. This might help them design better future treatment and supportive care studies. Objective: To describe sleep disturbances and circadian disruption in people with PBT. Eligibility: English-speaking adults ages 18 and older who have PBT and are enrolled in the NIH study, ...
To determine the minimum scan duration for fluorine-18 positron-emitting radioactive isotope-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans performed on a total-body PET/CT scanner that results in non-inferior image quality to 18F-FDG PET/CT scans performed on a conventional PET/CT scanner. The subject population will be patients being staged for lung cancer, lymphoma, or melanoma.
This is a study to allow continued treatment for participants enrolled in studies of BXQ-350. This study is intended only for those who have completed the required study observation period or are still on treatment upon the closure of their respective BXQ-350 clinical study. The additional treatment is optional and voluntary.
It has been suggested that pathologists' diagnostic accuracy and confidence could be improved if they gained access to additional clinical information and in-vivo clinical and dermoscopic images of melanocytic tumors. This study examines the effect of digital training for pathologists in interpreting dermoscopic and clinical skin tumor images. The primary outcome of the upcoming DAHT RCT (Dermoscopy Augmented Histology Trial, a randomized controlled trial) is the diagnostic value (accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity) for the intervention and control group. For this purpose, we need an irrefutable gold standard diagnosis for all ...
Prospective clinical trial investigating combined, dual 18F-FDG PET/CT and 64Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN)
The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life and health in patients who had retinoblastoma in one eye (unilateral retinoblastoma), who either received treatment with chemotherapy injected directly into an artery leading to the eye (intra-arterial chemotherapy) or removal of the eye (enucleation). By quality of life, the investigators mean how the participants are feeling about being satisfied with things in their life, including, physical health, emotional health, and their ability to carry out daily activities. The investigators want to see if either treatment option would affect quality of life differently....
The purpose of this protocol is to provide patients with adequate informed consent to understand that screening tests with minimal health risk will be performed to evaluate their eligibility for a research study. The protocol makes it clear that patients initial visit to the intramural clinical program may include screening studies that are not medically necessary for disease management, but are done purely for research purposes. Patients with a known or suspected diagnosis of cancer, HIV infection, skin disorder or immunodeficiency who are being considered for enrollment in a National Cancer Institute intramural clinical research...
The overall purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Family Lifestyles, Actions, and Risk Education (FLARE) intervention in improving melanoma preventive behaviors. Parent-child dyads, consisting of survivors of melanoma and their children, will be randomly assigned to either receive the FLARE intervention or standard education. Once enrolled, each parent-child dyad will participate in this study for just over 1 year. Both conditions will receive three bi-weekly live intervention sessions (30 minutes per session) with an interventionist, and quarterly boosters via text or email.
Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed experimental therapies that involve taking white blood cells from participants' tumor or from their blood, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. Objective: This study will allow participants to be followed for up to 15 years following treatment on an NCI Surgery Branch Gene Therapy Trial as required by the FDA. Eligibility: Participants must have been enrolled on an NCI Surgery Branch Gene Therapy Protocol Design Participants will be followed with a physical examination and blood tests for up...
The basic mechanisms underlying comprehension of spoken language are still largely unknown. Over the past decade, the study team has gained new insights to how the human brain extracts the most fundamental linguistic elements (consonants and vowels) from a complex and highly variable acoustic signal. However, the next set of questions await pertaining to the sequencing of those auditory elements and how they are integrated with other features, such as, the amplitude envelope of speech. Further investigation of the cortical representation of speech sounds can likely shed light on these fundamental questions. Previous research has ...
