A Feasibility and Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of the VEFGR2/MET Inhibitor Cabozantinib in Combination with Cytotoxic Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades despite numerous attempts to augment standard therapies. Multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs), such as cabozantinib, can target signaling pathways that are known to be altered in osteosarcoma. Several MTKIs including cabozantinib have recently shown clinical evidence of activity in prospective studies for both pediatric and adult patients with advanced osteosarcoma. Furthermore, feasibility of administering MTKIs in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy has previously been shown in patients with AML, hepatocellular carcinoma, and soft tissue sarcomas. Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades

Food Behaviors Study

This project is about studying how certain encouragements related to the environment can affect the healthy food choices people make. We want to find out if these encouragements can help people select healthier food options. Other studies haven't looked into this yet, so this small study will be the first step to help plan bigger studies in the future. We are also interested in understanding how food is wasted by young adults and what prevents wasted food. We will compare college students and non-college students to see if there are any differences. This information will help us create ways to help young adults waste less food, especially those in college.

Opinions on Sweden Joining NATO

Sweden was militarily non-aligned for 200 years, but decided to formally leave neutrality in 2022 by applying for NATO membership. This study looks to understand why the Swedish government decided to leave neutrality in 2022, despite having similar opportunities when NATO was founded, when the two World Wars began, and when the Cold War ensued.
