Nivolumab for Brain Cancer

Houston, Texas
Background: More than 130 primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) have been identified. Most affect less than 1,000 people in the United States each year. Because these tumors are so rare, there are few proven therapies. This study will test whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab is an effective treatment for people with rare CNS tumors. Objectives: To learn if stimulating the immune system using the drug nivolumab can shrink tumors in people with rare CNS (brain or spine) tumors or increase the time it takes for these tumors to grow or spread. Eligibility: Adults whose rare CNS tumor has returned. Design: Individuals will be screened: * Heart and blood tests * Physical and neurological exam * Hepatitis tests * Pregnancy test * MRI. They will lay in a machine that takes pictures. * Tumor tissue sample. This can be from a previous procedure. At the start of the study, participants will have blood tests. They will answer questions about their symptoms and their quality of life. Individuals will get nivolumab in a vein every 2 weeks for up to 64 weeks. Individuals will have monthly blood tests. Every other month they will have an MRI and a neurologic function test. They will also answer questions about their quality of life. Genetic tests will be done on individuals' tumor tissue. Individuals will be contacted if any clinically important results are found. After treatment ends, individuals will be monitored for up to 5 years. They will have a series of MRIs and neurological function tests. They will be asked to report any symptoms they experience....

Fetoscopic Repair Techniques for Spina Bifida

Houston, Texas
The purpose of the study is to compare the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of a cohort of 60 patients in whom a multilayer closure with a Durepair patch is performed with a prior cohort of patients in whom a standardized repair without patch (n = 32) was performed using the same minimally invasive fetoscopic repair technique. The hypothesis is that there will be a thicker repair (as measured by MRI at 6 weeks post surgery) and less MMC repair dehiscence and/or CSF leak with the patch repair.

Umbilical Cord Patch for Spina Bifida

Houston, Texas
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of an autologous umbilical cord patch for dural closure on the repair of open neural tube defect. The outcomes will evaluate successful defect closure, creation of a more capacious spinal canal, and reduction in inflammatory tissue response versus historical controls.

Fetoscopic Umbilical Cord Repair for Spina Bifida

Houston, Texas
To fetoscopically use cryopreserved human umbilical cord allografts, named NEOX Cord 1K®, as a spinal cord cover of spina bifida defects. This procedure will be performed to create a watertight seal covering over the spinal cord in order to decrease the incidence rates of postnatal morbidities. For larger skin defects, NEOX Cord 1K® may be used as a skin cover.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."
