This trial will look at a drug called SEA-CD70 with and without azacitidine, to find out if it is safe for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It will study SEA-CD70 to find out what its side effects are and if it works for AML and MDS. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. This study will have six groups or "parts." - Part A will find out how much SEA-CD70 should be given to patients. - Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat patients with MDS. - Part C will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat patients with AML. - Part D will find out how much SEA-CD70 with azacitidine should be given to patients. - Part E will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat patients with MDS or MDS/AML that has not been treated. - Part F will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat patients with MDS or MDS/AML.

Lung transplant is an option for treating end-stage lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). In the United States, more people with CF and low lung function die each year than undergo lung transplant. More than half of people with CF who die without a lung transplant were never referred for consideration. Patient preference not to undergo lung transplant may account for 25-40% of decisions to defer referral. Rates of death without transplant are higher for people with CF who are members of marginalized communities, including those with Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, or low socioeconomic status. Increasing awareness of lung transplant among people with CF, and promoting understanding of the risks and benefits of transplant, can potentially reduce the number of people with CF who die without a lung transplant. The CF Foundation (CFF) lung transplant referral guidelines were developed to optimize the timing of referral for lung transplant. These guidelines recommend annual conversations with people with CF once their forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is <50% predicted. Considering lung transplant as a treatment option before it is medically needed will allow more time to learn about lung transplant and address any barriers to lung transplant that may exist. Investigators are interested in understanding how people with CF use lung transplant educational resources and how one prepares for having discussions and/or making decisions about lung transplant as a treatment option for advanced CF. The purpose of this study is to test whether a research website improves patient preparedness for discussions about lung transplant. Investigators also aim to understand whether there are unique factors that affect people with CF from communities with decreased access to transplant ("communities of concern"). Study involvement will span 6 months and study activities will involve the following: - Four Zoom research sessions (15-30 minutes each) - Survey assessments - Access to a research website that contains educational resources about lung transplant - Audio recording of a routine CF clinic visit to determine if and how lung transplant is discussed between a participant and his/her/their CF doctor

The proposed project will evaluate the musculoskeletal outcomes of quadriceps and hamstring muscle size and function following orthopedic knee surgery involving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction. Currently, the research team collaborates with a team of orthopedic specialists at the University of Kansas Health System and monitor muscle size post-knee repair and follow the standard of care (SOC) practices of the licensed physical therapists (PT). The proposed project will include a randomized clinical trial to observe the muscular outcomes following the current SOC plus supplementation of calcium-β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (caHMB) or placebo. CaHMB has been shown to improve rates of muscle protein synthesis while suppressing muscle protein breakdown in healthy adults. The use of caHMB has also provided evidence of muscular protection from atrophy during prolonged bed rest. This evidence supports the utility in clinically injured athletes that are subjected to disuse atrophy from the inability to bear weight or participate in typical daily physical activity. Additionally, matched for activity-related knee injuries, female athletes are more susceptible to incurring a significant injury due to a variety of genetic, hormonal, biological, anatomical, and biomechanical predispositions. Therefore, the proposed study will recruit approximately 30 females over the age of 18 that have sustained an injury to the ACL and will plan to undergo reconstructive knee surgery involving the ACL. Subjects will be monitored and measured prior to their surgical date (T0), at 2-weeks post operative (T1), and every 6-weeks until they are cleared to return to sport (T2-TRTS). Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 in a double-blind manner to either an experimental (EXPHMB) or placebo (CONPLA) group. Doses will be provided to the participants in coded containers and will complete their dosing and a record log of intake for the duration of their rehabilitation. Three 3-day food, exercise, and health record logs will be collected to monitor nutritional intake, activity, and menstrual patterns at T0, T3, and TRTS. Participant's assessments will include body composition analysis via bioelectrical impedance analysis for total and segmental muscle and fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat percent. We will collect ultrasound images of the quadriceps and hamstrings of the operative-involved limb (OPIL) and non-operative limb (NOPL) limbs for muscle cross-sectional area (mCSA), thickness (mT), subcutaneous fat thickness (TFAT), and corrected echo intensity (EICOR) at all time points. Strength and functional assessments will occur upon entrance to the study (T0), and after loaded exercise is indicated by the practitioner (T3-TRTS) to the tolerance of the athlete. These assessments include maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) for leg extension and leg curl, standing balance tests, single-leg and double-leg jump assessment, and drop landing deviation, all on dual force plates. Data will be analyzed using multiple three-way analyses of variance [surgical leg (OPIL vs. NOPL) x treatment (EXPHMB vs. CONPLA) x time (T0 vs. T1 vs. T2 vs. T3 vs. T4 vs. T5 vs. TRTS) for the dependent variables. Significance is established at p≤0.05 and follow-up ANOVAS, T-tests, and post-hoc analyses will be conducted when significance is present. The evidence from this study will support the practitioners and coaches' abilities to maximize recovery and training outcomes, respectively, in previously injured female athletes.

Genes contain genetic code which tell the body which proteins to make. Many types of cancer are caused by changes, or mutations, in a gene called KRAS. Researchers are looking for ways to stop the actions of abnormal proteins made from the mutated KRAS gene. The so-called G12D mutation in the KRAS gene is common in people with some solid tumors. ASP3082 is a potential new treatment for solid tumors in people who have the G12D mutation in their KRAS gene. Before ASP3082 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. This information will help find a suitable dose and to check for potential medical problems from the treatment. People in this study will be adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with the G12D mutation in their KRAS gene. Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. They may have been previously treated with standard therapies. The main aims of the study are: to check the safety of ASP3082 by itself and together with cetuximab or chemotherapy, and how well it is tolerated, and to find a suitable dose of ASP3082 by itself and together with cetuximab or chemotherapy. This is an open-label study. This means that people in this study and clinic staff will know that they will receive ASP3082. This study will be in 2 parts. In Part 1, different small groups of people will receive lower to higher doses of ASP3082, by itself, or together with cetuximab. Any medical problems will be recorded at each dose. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP3082, by itself or together with cetuximab to use in Part 2 of the study. The first group will receive the lowest dose of ASP3082. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide if the next group can receive a higher dose of ASP3082. The panel will do this for each group until all groups have received ASP3082 (by itself or together with cetuximab) or until suitable doses have been selected for Part 2. In Part 2, other different small groups of people will receive ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab or chemotherapy, with the most suitable doses worked out from Part 1. This will help find a more accurate dose of ASP3082 to use in future studies. ASP3082 (cetuximab or chemotherapy if used), will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion. Each treatment cycle is 21 or 28 days long. People will continue treatment until: they have medical problems from the treatment they can't tolerate; their cancer gets worse; they start other cancer treatment; or they ask to stop treatment. At some visits, other checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, blood and urine tests and vital signs. Vital signs include temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. (Blood oxygen levels will also be checked for people treated with ASP3082 together with cetuximab or chemotherapy.) Tumor samples will be taken during certain visits during treatment and when treatment has finished. People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment, with extra visits during the first 2 cycles of treatment. The study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab or chemotherapy. At some visits, other checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, blood and urine tests and vital signs. Vital signs include temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. (Blood oxygen levels will also be checked for people treated with ASP3082 together with cetuximab or chemotherapy.) Tumor samples will be taken during certain visits during treatment and when treatment has finished. People will visit the clinic within 7 days after stopping treatment. The study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab or chemotherapy. Other checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, urine and blood tests and vital signs. After this, people will continue to visit the clinic every 9 weeks to check the condition of their cancer. They will do this until 45 weeks after treatment stopped, or if their cancer is worse, they start other cancer treatment, or they ask to stop treatment. Also, people may visit the clinic at 30 days and 90 days after stopping treatment. At the 30-day visit, the study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab or chemotherapy. People will have their vital signs checked and have some blood tests. At the 90-day visit, the study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab or chemotherapy and people will have their vital signs checked.

This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of M3814 and to see how well it works when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). M3814 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving M3814 and hypofractionated radiation therapy together may be safe, tolerable and more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

The investigators are doing this study to see if a treatment called dry needling improves muscle spasticity (muscle tightness) in people who have Multiple Sclerosis. Dry needling involves using tiny needles, like those in acupuncture, to target some muscles, like calf muscles. It differs from traditional acupuncture as it focuses on treating or managing muscle spots, aiming to reduce muscle stiffness and pain. Dry needling may offer a minimally-invasive and medication-free approach to improve muscle spasticity. The investigators hope to see if dry needling also helps enhance balance and walking abilities. This might provide potential improvements inoverall mobility and balance.
