Patient handout reading level

Health literacy is the ability for individuals to read and understand health information in order to make health decisions. The American Medical Association recommends that patient information guides are written at or below a sixth grade reading level. However previous studies have found that most patient educational material in urogynecology are written above the recommended sixth grade reading level. The purpose of this research study is to see if patients are better able to better understand informational handouts written at above a sixth-grade reading level compared to informational handouts written below a sixth-grade reading level.

Preoperative Frailty Feasibility Study

This study is designed to determine if measurements of strength, body composition, muscle size, independence, and nutrition can be completed at a patient's pre-anesthesia testing appointment. These measurements will be used to determine a patient's baseline frailty and to ideally give predictions for the risk of postoperative complications. The measurements are all non-invasive and involve the use of a spirometer, hand grip strength tool, bioimipedance tool, ultrasound, and written questionnaire. The study will help guide future pre-anesthesia testing appointment components related to frailty.

A Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events (AE)s in Adult Participants With Multiple Myeloma Receiving Etentamig (ABBV-383) as an Intravenous (IV) Infusion Alone or in Combination With Oral, IV, Subcutaneous Daratumumab; Lenalidomide; Dexamethasone; Carfilzomib

The purpose of this study is to explore etentamig (ABBV-383) and its safety and tolerability as a monotherapy or combined with other anti-myeloma agents. This study aims to determine the safest dose of etentamig and if it produces meaningful anti-myeloma activity for participant with multiple myeloma (MM).

ACNS2321 (CNS Germinoma, Reduced Radiotherapy)

The purpose of this study is to determine if treating germinomas with chemotherapy followed by a lower dose of radiotherapy (RT) can be as effective as the current standard of care. Specifically, our primary aim is to determine whether 12 Gy whole ventricular irradiation (WVI) and 12 Gy tumor boost would maintain similar efficacy compared to ACNS1123 stratum 2 as measured by event-free survival (EFS) in eligible patients with localized primary central nervous system (CNS) germinoma who present with serum and/or CSF human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (hCGß) = 100 IU/L and normal AFP, and meet complete response (CR) or continued complete response (CCR) criteria following chemotherapy/second-look surgery (Stratum 1). We are attempting to build upon the excellent results of ACNS1123 stratum 2 by reducing the RT dose even further for patients in a CR after chemotherapy.
