Have you been diagnosed with pleural fluid, and have been referred for a pleural fluid drainage? If so, you may be able to participate in a research registry to help us learn more about lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to understand how monitoring symptoms at home after lung cancer diagnosis could impact quality of care and the likelihood of returning to the hospital. This study will also help us understand whether symptom monitoring in patients with advanced lung cancer is helpful for patients and the clinical teams who care for them.
Have you ever been diagnosed with metastatic triple negative breast cancer and received 2 or less lines of chemotherapy for your metastatic disease? If so you may be eligible for a trial to evaluate different treatment combination with avelumab for your metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new treatment routine for patients with metastatic HER2 -positive breast cancer.

Purpose: Is the combination of T-DM1 and a newer drug tucatinib, better than usual treatment with T-DM1 alone at preventing your cancer from returning? Treatment with T-DM1 and placebo or T-DM1 and tucatinib, for up to 14 cycles, unless the breast cancer returns or the side effects become too severe. If the breast cancer returns while on the study, the treatment will be changed. After completion of T-DM1 and/or placebo, or T-DM1 and tucatinib, the study doctor will continue to follow the patients condition with clinic visits every 6 months for 10 years and watch for side effects and for signs of breast cancer returning.

Current practice in military blood transfusion is to use specific IV bags and chemical preservatives to transfer blood from the donor to the injured recipient. Our goal is to study if this blood transfusion can occur using a basic syringe without any preservative. This will help military personnel in areas will limited resources to provide blood transfusions to injured soldiers and save lives. We will also be evaluating ultrasound techniques which determine if a patient needs fluid (either regular IV fluid or blood transfusion).
