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.
MOON101 is being developed to treat patients who suffer from peanut allergy and to improve the overall safety and efficacy compared to other available treatment routes. Potential advantages of MOON101 include an anticipated lower applied dose of peanut allergen compared to other products. The MOON101 system delivers peanut allergen via a microneedle (MN) stamp. Microneedle technology is similar to a skin prick test (SPT), which is very well tolerated. The consistent dose delivery should enhance efficacy of the stamp and reduce variability in response. Improvement in safety coupled with improved efficacy is the goal of this product.

In this study, called Reducing Enrollment Administrative Challenges in Healthcare (REACH), we want to find out what is easy or hard about signing up for health insurance. By learning from your experiences, we can discover ways to simplify signing up for health coverage and how to make it more convenient for everyone. We want to find out what it is like for you to sign up for health insurance through healthcare.gov.
We are testing the usability of a health information website that shares easy-to-understand information about prostate cancer. The website is called iPICS. We want to see if the website is helpful for people living in rural areas, especially older adults. By working with public libraries, we hope to learn how to make the website better and easier to use. Our goal is to help people find trustworthy health information so they can make good decisions about their health.
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.
