Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a cancer of the brain. Current survival rates for people with GBM are poor; survival ranges from 5.2 months to 39 months. Most tumors come back within months or years after treatment, and when they do, they are worse: Overall survival drops to less than 10 months. No standard treatment exists for people whose GBM has returned after radiation therapy. Objective: To find a safe schedule for using radiation to treat GBM tumors that returned after initial radiation treatment. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with grade 4 GBM that returned after initial radiation treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. A sample of tumor tissue may be collected. Participants will undergo re-irradiation planning: They will wear a plastic mask over their head during imaging scans. These scans will pinpoint the exact location of the tumor. This spot will be the target of the radiation treatments. Participants will undergo radiation treatment 4 times per week. Some people will have this treatment for 3 weeks, some for 2 weeks, and some for 1 week. Blood tests and other exams will be repeated at each visit. Participants will complete questionnaires about their physical and mental health. They will answer these questions before starting radiation treatment; once a week during treatment; and at intervals for up to 3 years after treatment ends. Participants will have follow-up visits 1 month after treatment and then every 2 months for 6 months. Follow-up clinic visits will continue up to 3 years. Follow-ups by phone or email will continue an additional 2 years.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) of the uterus is becoming more common in the US. Sometimes EC often has increased levels of a protein called HER2. Cancers with HER2 tend to be more aggressive and have poorer outcomes. Objective: To test 2 study drugs-a vaccine that targets HER2 (AdHER2DC) plus a drug that supercharges immune cells that kill tumor cells (N-803)-combined with 2 FDA-approved cancer treatment drugs in people with EC. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with HER2-positive EC that returned or got worse after treatment. Design: AdHER2DC vaccine is made from each participant s own blood. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood is removed from the body through a tube attached to a needle. The blood passes through a machine that separates out the target cells. The remaining blood is returned to the body through a second needle. A special catheter may be needed. The first treatment cycle is 28 days; each cycle after that will be 21 days. All participants will get the 2 approved drugs and the vaccine. One drug is a tablet taken by mouth once a day, every day. The other drug is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The vaccine is injected under the skin. Participants will receive the vaccine on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, and 3. Additional doses up to 3 doses will be give if possible. Some participants will receive N-803. This drug is injected under the skin of the abdomen on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment may last up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will continue up to 2 more years.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be hard to treat and is often fatal. People with NSCLC commonly have changes in the bacteria that populate their lungs. These bacterial changes may aid tumor growth. Researchers want to find out if treating the bacteria, too, can help cancer treatment work better. Objective: To test 2 inhaled antibiotics (aztreonam and vancomycin), combined with a standard cancer treatment, in people with NSCLC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with NSCLC that has returned or progressed after treatment and cannot be treated with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They may blow into a machine to test how well their lungs work. They will have imaging scans. They may need to have a small piece of tissue cut from their tumor (biopsy). Participants will be treated in six 21-day cycles. They will visit the clinic to receive a drug for cancer treatment on the first day of each cycle. This drug will be administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The 2 antibiotic drugs will be in the form of a fine mist that can be inhaled. Participants use a device to take these drugs at home. They will inhale aztreonam up to 3 times a day and vancomycin 1 or 2 times a day. They will take these drugs during only 3 of the treatment cycles. Biopsies and other tests will be repeated halfway through and after the study treatment. Follow-up visits will continue for 1 year after study treatment.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) are disorders that affect the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Both diseases can cause muscle weakness and impair vision, speech, and coordination. Researchers are working to better understand how MS and PML affect the CNS. Objective: To test whether an experimental radioactive tracer (minibody) can help positron emission tomography (PET) scans detect certain immune cells in the CNS of people with MS and PML. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with MS, other neuroinflammatory diseases with BBB leakage, or PML. Design: Participants will come to the clinic for at least 3 visits over 4 to 6 weeks. Participants will undergo testing. They will have a physical and neurological exam. They will have blood tests and tests of their heart function. They will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain. They may have a spinal tap: Their lower back will be numbed, and a needle will be inserted between the bones of the spine to withdraw fluid from around the spinal cord. Minibody is given through a tube with a needle placed in a vein in the arm. This takes 5 to 10 minutes. Participants will have heart function tests before and after receiving the minibody. Participants may have a PET scan on the day of the Minibody and will return the next day for another PET scan. They will lie on a table that moves through a doughnut-shaped machine. This scan will take about 1 hour. Participants with PML may opt to repeat the minibody infusion and the PET scan within 6 months.

Background: Certain blood cancers can be treated with blood or bone marrow transplants. Sometimes the donor cells attack the recipient's body, called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide helps reduce the risk and severity of GVHD. Researchers want to learn if using a lower dose of cyclophosphamide may reduce the drug's side effects while maintaining its effectiveness. Such an approach is being used in an ongoing clinical study at the NIH with promising results, but this approach has not been tested for transplants using lower doses of chemotherapy/radiation prior to the transplant. Objective: To learn if using a lower dose of cyclophosphamide will help people have a successful transplant and have fewer problems and side effects. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-85 who have a blood cancer that did not respond well to standard treatments or is at high risk for relapse without transplant, and their donors. Design: Participants may be screened with the following: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Heart and lung tests Body imaging scans (they may get a contrast agent) Spinal tap Bone marrow biopsy Participants will be hospitalized for 4-6 weeks. They will have a central venous catheter placed in a chest or neck vein. It will be used to give medicines, transfusions, and the donor cells, and to take blood. In the week before transplant, they will get 2 chemotherapy drugs and radiation. After the transplant, they will get the study drug for 2 days. They will take other drugs for up to 2 months. Participants must stay near NIH for 3 months after discharge for weekly study visits. Then they will have visits every 3-12 months until 5 years after transplant. Participants and donors will give blood, bone marrow, saliva, cheek swab, urine, and stool samples for research.

This study will collect blood and urine samples from patients undergoing radiation therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (a type of brain tumor) to investigate the effects of this treatment on blood cells and certain proteins. The information from this study may help scientists develop new tests to measure radiation exposure and find new ways to treat cancer with radiation, and help determine which kinds of patients or tumors respond better to radiation therapy. Two proteins of particular interest in this study and which may be involved in the recurrence of cancer are VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases). Patients 18 years of age and older with glioblastoma multiforme who are receiving or will receive radiation therapy as part of their medical treatment may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a history and physical examination, blood tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Participants will have blood and urine samples collected before, during and after completion of their radiation treatment. Urine samples are collected in a cup and about 2 tablespoons of blood are withdrawn through a needle in a vein. Additional samples may be requested at different times during treatment and in the 3-year follow-up period.

Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate if metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can detect microbial signatures in people undergoing HSCT, and if microbial identification can be correlated with clinical features of infection (e.g., fever). Participants undergoing HSCT as part of other studies at the NIH Clinical Center (CC) will provide blood before the transplant and through 6 months after. Total nucleic acid will be extracted from plasma and subjected to mNGS. The primary objective of this study is to investigate if by using plasma and an mNGS approach, we can detect bacterial, fungal, protozoan, or viral DNA/RNA over time, in immunocompromised patients undergoing transplantation. Secondary objectives are to: (1) To correlate microbial identification with episodes of fever or clinical suspicion of infection; and to (2) correlate change in microbial signatures in patients with suspected immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. The study is conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. Participants, aged 3 years and older, on other research studies at the NIH CC who are undergoing HSCT are invited to take part of this study. Expected participation is up to six months.

Study rationale High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) require therapy with 131 I under thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. There are two methods of TSH stimulation endogenous by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) leading to hypothyroidism and exogenous by injection of human recombinant TSH (rhTSH Thyrogen). The appropriate 131-I activity utilized for treatment is either based on empiric fixed dosage choice or individually determined activity based on 131 I dosimetric calculations. Although dosimetry utilizing radioactive iodine isotope 131 I enables calculation of maximum safe dose, it does not estimate the tumoricidal activity necessary to destroy the metastatic lesions. The alternative radioactive isotope of iodine -124 I, used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, might be used for calculation not only the maximum safe131 I dose, but also to predict the absorbed dose in the metastatic lesions. Study objectives The primary objective of this study is to compare the 124 I -PET/CT lesional and whole body dosimetry in each individual patient with metastatic radioiodine (RAI)-avid thyroid cancer under preparation with rhTSH and THW. The secondary objective is to evaluate the predicted by PET/CT lesional uptake with the early response to therapy. Study design This is a phase 2 pilot prospective cohort study comparing the lesional and whole body dosimetry within each patient undergoing exogenous (rhTSH) and endogenous (THW) TSH stimulation and followed for 5 years. Interventions Each study participant will undergo rhTSH and THW-aided 124 I-PET/CT dosimetric evaluations and will be subsequently treated with THW-aided RAI activity based on dosimetric calculations enabling maximum safe dosage. The patients will be followed in 12+/-3 months intervals for 5 years. Sample size and population This pilot study will include 30 patients with high risk differentiated thyroid cancer presenting with distant and/or loco-regional metastases.

This protocol will evaluate patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relatives to learn more about how the disease develops and changes over time. It will also study genetic factors that make a person susceptible to SLE. Patients 3 years of age and older with known or suspected SLE and their relatives may be eligible for this study. Patients will be evaluated with a medical history and physical examination, blood and urine tests. Other procedures may include: 1. Electrocardiogram 2. 24-hour urine collection 3. Imaging studies, such as chest and joint X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, bone scans, and bone densitometry. 4. Questionnaire about the degree of disease activity, and survey of risk factors for disease complications. 5. Apheresis-Collection of plasma (fluid portion of blood) or blood cells for analysis. Whole blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein. The blood circulates through a machine that separates it into its components. The required component (plasma or cells) is removed and the rest of the blood is returned to the body through the same needle or through a second needle in the other arm. 6. Skin biopsy-Removal of a small skin sample for microscopic analysis. An area of skin is numbed with an anesthetic and a small circular portion (about 1/4 inch in diameter) is removed, using a sharp cookie cutter-type instrument. 7. Kidney, bone marrow or other organ biopsy-Removal of a small sample of organ tissue. These biopsies are done only if they can provide information useful in better understanding the disease or making treatment decisions. 8. Genetic studies-Collection of a blood sample for gene testing. Patients will be followed at least once a year with a brief history and physical examination and routine blood and urine tests. Some patients may be seen more often. Treatment recommendations will be offered to patients' physicians, and patients who are eligible for other research treatment studies will be invited to enroll. Participating relatives of patients will fill out a brief medical history questionnaire and provide a DNA sample (either a blood sample or tissue swab from the inside of the cheek) for genetic testing.

Every fetus has a small hole in their heart, called a foramen ovale when they are developing in the womb. For most people this hole closes shortly after birth, but it doesn't close completely in 1 out of every 4 people. This is called a "patent" foramen ovale, or PFO. In people with a PFO it is possible for a blood clot in a vein to enter the heart, pass through the opening, and then go into an artery - this is referred to as a paradoxical embolism which passes through a "Right-to-Left Shunt," or RLS. If this occurs, the blood clot can cause a stroke. The most common RLS (more than 90%) is a PFO. Much rarer causes include other types of holes in the heart (like an atrial septal defect, or ASD), or a vascular communication in the lungs (like a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, or AVM). We are investigating whether people with a PE are at higher risk of stroke if they happen to have an RLS compared to PE patients who don't have an RLS. This study will simply observe and compare the differences in stroke-related outcomes between those 2 groups. Participation in the study last roughly 90-days and includes the following activities: - The study team will review your medical records to collect general information such as your age, sex, race/ethnicity, height, weight, medications, medical history, and other medical information - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of your brain will be done as soon as possible following your enrollment in the study. For more information on MRI scans, please see the "MRI scan" section below. - A Transcranial Doppler (TCD) with bubble study will be performed to determine if an opening is present in your heart or lungs. TCD is performed using ultrasound. A contrast called agitated saline will be injected into your vein for this test. - You will be asked to return for a follow-up visit 90 days after your pulmonary embolism. At this visit, the following will occur: 1. A second MRI of your brain will be performed. 2. You will complete a questionnaire to evaluate whether you may have had a stroke since being discharged from the hospital 3. You will meet with a member of the study team who will collect information about your health status.

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether results from a brief exercise test done before surgery can help identify adults who may be more likely to have problems after moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery. The study includes adults older than 45 years who are seen in a pre-surgical evaluation clinic and complete submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing, or smCPET, as part of their usual clinical care. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are smCPET measurements linked with early problems after surgery? Are smCPET measurements linked with later problems after surgery, including complications within 30 and 60 days, longer hospital stay, and death? Can smCPET add useful information to standard preoperative risk assessment? Researchers will observe and analyze information collected during routine care. No extra exercise testing or treatment will be done for research. Participants will: - Complete routine preoperative evaluation in the Yale Pre-Surgical Evaluation Clinic. - Undergo smCPET if it is ordered as part of standard clinical care. - Allow researchers to collect information from the medical record and from the exercise test for the study repository, if they agree to participate. The study will collect de-identified information about each participant's health before surgery, exercise test results, details about the surgery and hospital stay, and problems that happen after surgery. This may include age, sex, body mass index, other medical conditions, routine lab and imaging results, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, smCPET measures such as peak oxygen uptake, anaerobic threshold, and breathing efficiency, and early and late postoperative outcomes. Researchers will look at short-term and later outcomes after surgery. These include problems identified during the hospital stay, such as heart, lung, kidney, nerve, blood, wound, and pain-related complications, as well as complications within 30 and 60 days after surgery. Researchers will also study hospital length of stay and death after surgery. This study is designed to help researchers understand whether a short, practical exercise test can improve the way surgical risk is assessed before an operation. Current preoperative assessment tools do not always measure how well the heart, lungs, and muscles work together during physical stress. smCPET may provide a more objective way to measure functional capacity and physiologic reserve in a busy clinic setting. This is a single-center study based in a preoperative evaluation clinic. The study has a prospective observational cohort component and a retrospective validation component. In the prospective part, adults who meet clinic criteria and complete smCPET during routine care may be asked to join the repository. In the retrospective part, researchers may also review historical data from patients evaluated before smCPET was put into routine use to help compare outcomes and validate findings. Because this is an observational repository study, participation does not change the care participants receive. The exercise test is done for clinical reasons, not because of the research study. The research team will not assign treatments or decide what surgery a participant has. Instead, the team will study how exercise test findings relate to outcomes that occur after surgery. The long-term aim of this study is to improve preoperative risk assessment and help clinicians better identify patients who may need closer monitoring, more evaluation, or more support around the time of surgery. If the findings are useful, they may support broader use of brief preoperative exercise testing in adults having higher-risk noncardiac surgery.

This research study is being conducted to find out more about techniques to non-invasively evaluate liver disease. This is the second phase of a project in which we are testing a new technology to evaluate the liver (LiverScope®). We will compare LiverScope® to other methods to evaluate the liver, including advanced conventional liver MR exams. MR exams are common exams used to monitor MASLD (also known as NAFLD). Conventional MR scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to make pictures of the liver. LiverScope® is a small, portable MR-based device that uses similar, but simplified technology, and can be used on top of an exam table in an outpatient setting. LiverScope® currently is not approved for clinical use. In this second phase of the study, we took what we learned in the first phase to optimize the LiverScope® device and are now testing to see how LiverScope® measurements compare to MR after these optimizations. Study participants will be asked to complete a one-time visit which includes: - LiverScope exam - MR exam - FibroScan exam (optional) - Blood draw - Completion of study questionnaires
