Fulvestrant + Anastrozole for Breast Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
The study is being conducted to determine whether neoadjuvant endocrine therapy with fulvestrant or the combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant, is better than anastrozole when given before surgery to shrink the cancer and stop it from growing. Anastrozole inhibits tumor growth by reducing the levels of estrogen and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States for use after surgery for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. It is also considered a standard of care to give anastrozole for a few months before surgery to shrink the tumor. Fulvestrant inhibits tumor cell growth by reducing the levels of estrogen receptor in the tumor cell. It is not approved by the FDA for use in women with early stage breast cancer before or after surgery, but is approved by the FDA for patients with advanced (Stage 4) estrogen receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Hormone Therapy +/− Everolimus for Breast Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate, goserelin acetate, leuprolide acetate, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet know whether hormone therapy is more effective when given with or without everolimus in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well giving hormone therapy together with or without everolimus work in treating patients with breast cancer.

Chemotherapy + Trastuzumab for Breast Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
This randomized phase III clinical trial studies chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab after surgery to see how well they work in treating women with invasive breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with trastuzumab in treating breast cancer.

Chemotherapy +/− Bevacizumab for Breast Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
This randomized phase III trial studies doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel to see how well they work with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes (lymph node-positive) or cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes but is at high risk for returning (high-risk, lymph node-negative breast cancer). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery and help prevent the tumor from returning. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel are more effective with or without bevacizumab.

Hormone Therapy + Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
This randomized phase III trial studies the best individual therapy for women who have node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer by using a special test (Oncotype DX), and whether hormone therapy alone or hormone therapy together with combination chemotherapy is better for women who have an Oncotype DX recurrence score of 11-25. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells or by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 hormone therapy together with more than one chemotherapy drug (combination chemotherapy) has been shown to reduce the chance of breast cancer recurrence, but the benefit of adding chemotherapy to hormone therapy for women with node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer is small. New tests may provide information about which patients are more likely to benefit from chemotherapy.

Crizotinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation.

Targeted Therapy for Cancer

Framingham, Massachusetts
This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

Dietary Protein for Muscle Wasting

Natick, Massachusetts
Individuals who sustain musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) can experience a rapid loss of muscle mass due to declines in muscle loading and activation that occur post-injury (i.e., disuse atrophy). Loss of muscle under these conditions is attributed to a persistent negative net muscle protein balance (muscle protein synthesis \[MPS\] \< muscle protein breakdown) that results, in part, from declines in postprandial MPS (i.e., anabolic resistance). Nutritional interventions that enhance postprandial MPS may be used to overcome disuse-induced anabolic resistance and preserve muscle mass to accelerate recovery and improve recovery outcomes. While supplemental protein has been explored as a potential countermeasure to disuse-induce anabolic resistance, the observed efficacy of such interventions has been mixed. Equivocal findings across studies may be attributed, in part, to an insufficient understanding of what constitutes an effective protein-based intervention. Importantly, no study to date has determined an optimal protein dose for overcoming disuse-induce anabolic resistance, or if there is a threshold for maximally stimulating postprandial MPS under disuse conditions. Therefore, the objective of this work is to determine rates of MPS at rest and in response to standard (20 g) or high (40 g) doses of whey protein during knee immobilization (DISUSE) compared with standard activity (ACTIVE)

ASTERISK System for Below Elbow Amputation

Holliston, Massachusetts
The goal of this proposed project is to evaluate the effectiveness of our novel wireless electrode system, which the investigators refer to as the ASTERISK system, on transradial prosthesis users. There are numerous benefits to the upper limb prosthesis community being able to utilize wireless electrodes. These benefits include allowing for the use of a prosthetics liner to assist with fit and comfort, easier implementation of EMG-controlled prosthesis for individuals with osseointegration, and additional EMG electrode location options if the muscle activity captured within the prosthetic socket does not provide reliable prosthesis control. The investigators intend to use this data to develop the ASTERISK wireless electrode system into a commercial product. The findings will also be shared with the research community to help drive the design of future devices.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Operational Stress for Fatigue

Natick, Massachusetts
This longitudinal study will examine the effects of repeated bouts of operational stress and limited recovery on integrated MPS, whole-body protein balance, iron absorption, and aerobic performance. Following baseline characterization measures, active adults (n=24) representative of normal weight phenotype (NW; n=12) and overweight phenotype (OW; n=12) will complete a 48h balance phase preceding two rounds of repeated 72h energy deficit exposure each immediately followed by a 48h recovery phase. NW cutoff will be defined ≤ 22% body fat for males and ≤ 32% body fat for females. OW cutoff will be defined as \>22% body fat for males and \>32% body fat for females. These body composition cutoffs are informed by the maximum allowable percent body fat standards outlined in current Army Regulation 600-9. Additional details for determining % body fat are outlined in the experimental procedures section of the protocol.

MitoQ for Cold Exposure

Natick, Massachusetts
Individuals who operate in cold weather are at risk of developing cold injuries, for example, frostbite. They also often experience a loss of hand function and joint mobility due to a decrease in skin temperature and blood flow. In addition, the risk of getting a cold injury is higher in the Black population compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Increases in oxidant compounds can cause the blood vessels in the skin to narrow and decrease skin temperature in the cold. However, it is unknown whether the higher risk of cold injury in Black individuals is because of a greater amount of oxidant compounds in the blood vessels. The purpose of this research is to see if an antioxidant supplement called MitoQ can help to improve skin temperature and blood flow in the cold and if the improvement is greater in Black individuals.

Prebiotics + Probiotics for Stress

Natick, Massachusetts
Emerging evidence supports the existence of a microbiota-gut-brain axis through which gut microbes influence cognition, mood and behavior. Targeting this axis with probiotics and/or prebiotics may provide novel strategies for mitigating stress-induced decrements in gastrointestinal and cognitive function. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-arm trial will determine the effects of a prebiotic and a probiotic dietary intervention on gastrointestinal, cognitive and physiologic responses to acute military-relevant physical and cognitive stress. Healthy men and women will be recruited and randomized to receive a placebo, probiotic or prebiotic for 4wk. Volunteers will be fed a controlled diet during the 4th week of supplementation. Fecal, blood, urine and saliva samples will be collected. Physical stress will be induced by a weighted walk on a treadmill, and will be followed by a cognitively challenging testing scenario that uses intermittent electric shocks to the abdomen to induce a stress response.
