When we talk about investigational, it…
Did you know that people living with HIV are 50-100% more likely to develop heart disease (including heart attack and stroke) than people without HIV? And did you know that women with HIV are 3 times more likely to have a heart attack than women without HIV? Heart disease in HIV-infected people is a big deal. We are doing a study to test if a daily dose of…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with chemotherapy or placebo with chemotherapy in patients with resectable NSCLC to find out which is better. In this study, you will receive treatment before undergoing surgery to remove the tumor.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if PerClot is safe and effective to stop bleeding during surgery. PerClot is a medical device in granule form made from the starch of a potato.
