The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Exercise and Peanut Consumption

Condition: Nutrition

Investigator: Richard Sloan, PhD

Status: Closed

We will enroll and randomly assign 30 sedentary, healthy overweight men and women to two groups. Participants will either start by consuming peanuts for 4 weeks, and then go on to exercise at high intensity intervals (HIIT) for 4 weeks, or the reverse order. We will test and compare the effect of peanuts and exercise on inflammation and heart rate…

Individualized Treatment in Treating Patients With Stage II-IVB Nasopharyngeal Cancer Based on EBV DNA

A study for patients with Melanoma, Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck, or Non-Small Cell Lung cancer using study drug MGA271

Condition: Cancer / Head and Neck Cancer

Investigator: Richard Carvajal, MD

Status: Closed

The study involves research about MGA271 in combination with Keytruda. MGA271 targets cancer cells that make a lot of a protein called B7-H3. Another way to say it is that the cells "overexpress" the protein. Very few normal cells express B7-H3. MGA271 is though to work by recognizing cancer cells that overexpress B7-H3 and directing the body…
