Treatment of Adult Traumatic Rib Fractures With Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effectiveness of using the Iovera Smart Time 190, for ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis, in trauma patients 18-64 years old with rib fractures that are not candidates for surgical stabilization. This will offer patients the benefits of cryoneurolysis of the intercostal nerves, thereby providing short and long term pain control while their ribs heal.
The Iovera Smart Tip 190 is FDA approved for cryoneurolysis.Investigator

Study of PRRT in Metastatic, World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 1 or 2, SSTR Positive, GEP-NET Who Are Candidates for Cytoreductive Surgery
The purpose of this study is to learn about the feasibility and safety of using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) before and after surgical removal of a tumor. PRRT treatment is based on the administration of a radioactive product, 177-Lu DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (LutatheraĀ®) and its use before and after surgery is thought to increase the overall survival benefit for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors GEP-NETs.

Perioperative Optimization With Enhanced Recovery
This is a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of a motivational interview and perioperative mobile-app based nutrition and exercise intervention on surgical outcomes. The hypothesis is that such an intervention will improve surgical outcomes. Patients who are planned to undergo major elective abdominal surgery will be randomized to standard care or the nutrition/exercise intervention. This intervention consists of a mobile-app based coaching program to encourage patients to exercise and adopt a Mediterranean diet in the 3+ weeks prior to surgery.

MeSenteric SpAring Versus High Ligation Ileocolic Resection for the Prevention of REcurrent Crohn's DiseaSe (SPARES)
Study description - Patients will be randomized according to post-operative recurrence risk to either a high ligation of ileocolic artery or mesenteric sparing ileocolic resection for terminal ileal Crohn's disease. The primary endpoint 6-month endoscopic recurrence.
Endpoints - Primary endpoint; 6 months Secondary endpoints at 1 and 5 years post ileocecal resection
Study population - Adult Crohn's disease patients with medically refractory terminal ileal Crohn's disease undergoing a primary ileocecal resection.
Study sites - Multicenter international study
Description of study intervention - Randomized control trial of two operative techniques Operative approach of a high ligation of ileocolic artery as compared to mesenteric sparing for a primary ileocolic resection

Molecular Analysis of Thoracic Malignancies
A research study to learn about the biologic features of cancer development, growth, and spread. We are studying components of blood, tumor tissue, normal tissue, and other fluids, such as urine, cerebrospinal fluid, abdominal or chest fluid in patients with cancer. Our analyses of blood, tissue, and/or fluids may lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer by the identification of markers that predict clinical outcome, markers that predict response to specific therapies, and the identification of targets for new therapies.

De-Escalation of Breast Radiation Trial for Hormone Sensitive, HER-2 Negative, Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 18 Breast Cancer (DEBRA)
This Phase III Trial evaluates whether breast conservation surgery and endocrine therapy results in a non-inferior rate of invasive or non-invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) compared to breast conservation with breast radiation and endocrine therapy.
