Tracking Tumor DNA During Radiation Therapy

We're doing this study to understand how a type of genetic material called DNA in the blood changes in people with a specific type of cancer that has spread to only a few places in the body. By looking at how this DNA behaves before and after cancer treatment, including radiation, we aim to learn more about how the cancer responds. To do this, we'll collect blood and tumor samples from you to analyze what's happening. This could help in better understanding and improving cancer treatments for others in the future.

However, RPT904 is designed to stay in the body longer than omalizumab and therefore require fewer injections.

Menopause Transition Study

What if midlife women, who are inherently at an increased risk for future cardiometabolic disease due to transitioning into menopause, had access to a suite of evidence-based health interventions? Could these interventions reduce menopause-related inflammation, restore a healthier cardiometabolic profile, reverse epigenetic aging, and reduce bothersome menopausal symptoms? The ultimate goal of this work is to attenuate future disease and enhance women's quality of life, extend healthspan and increase productivity.
