We are doing this study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a medical laser device called the ELIOS System® when it is used in a procedure to reduce intraocular pressure in people with mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma.

We are doing this study to learn more about spasticity that some people experience after they have a stroke. Spasticity is a condition where muscles involuntarily stiffen and aren't as strong as they should be. We want to better understand when this happens after a stroke, what parts of the body are most likely to be affected, and how the symptoms affect people.

We are doing this study to keep tabs on the performance of a medical device called TVT Exact. This device is used to help control stress urinary incontinence. We want to know how well this device works long-term in Duke patients who elected to use it.

We are doing this study to find out if a drug called fluoxetine (the study drug) can cause changes to structures in your cells called lysosomes that then improve how well the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) kills cancer cells in the brain. Lysosomes are organelles (structures in cells) that contain digestive enzymes (substances that break down chemicals) that help keep the cells free of extra or worn out cell parts. The study drug is approved by the FDA to treat problems like depression and anxiety, but we do not know if it also might be beneficial in treating cancer.

We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called XC001 (the study drug) is an effective option for people who have angina that is caused by coronary artery disease. We want to know if the study drug can provide relief when common, approved therapies have failed to do so. The study drug is made using an adenovirus (one of the causes of the common cold). The adenovirus in the study drug is genetically altered so it is able to deliver a protein called VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) to the heart and potentially spur the growth of new blood vessels.

We are doing this study to find out if surgically removing only the cancerous lymph node (known as a lymph node excision) is effective at preventing melanoma from coming back in the same area of the lymph node excision. We also want to learn more about the side effects of this type of surgery and how it can impact patients' quality of life.

We are doing this study to examine genetic changes in your tumor that may contribute to resistance to immunotherapy. With this information, we hope to be able to identify new treatment methods as well as improve our ability to identify patients more likely to respond to immunotherapy.
