Help Us Understand How Hormones Affect Mental Health in Teens! Are you a teen girl (or the parent of one) curious about how hormones influence mood ? During the teen years, depression risk rises-especially as the brain, friendships, and hormones are all changing. The Teen VIBE Study at UNC seeks to understand why some teens feel these changes more intensely, so we can create better treatments in the future. Our research study uses safe, well-studied birth control pills and MRI brain scans to explore how hormone changes across the menstrual cycle affect mood and the brain.
Radiation treatment for head and neck cancer can often cause a very dry mouth. This dryness can last for a long time, even after the treatment ends. In our study, we want to see if changing where the radiation is aimed can help with this dryness. If you join, you'll fill out some simple questionnaires and give saliva samples. We'll also check in with you for about a year after your treatment to see how you're doing.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have triple negative (TN) breast cancer that has spread to your lymph nodes. You are also planning to get chemo-immunotherapy treatment before surgery. Radiation therapy (RT) has been shown to improve the body's immune response against tumors when it is given with a drug called pembrolizumab. The purpose of this study is to find the best and safest dose of radiation (low or high) when given with pembrolizumab. Radiation is measured in Gy (pronounced "gray"). You will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive either a low dose RT boost (9 Gy) or a high dose RT boost (24 Gy). The RT will be given with one dose of pembrolizumab. This is a hybrid decentralized study where some if not all assessments may be performed close to your home.
