OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
OptimICE-pCR is a randomized phase III trial that is enrolling early-stage TNBC patients with a pCR after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy consisting of a minimum of 6 cycles of chemotherapy in combination with an ICI. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive 27 weeks of adjuvant pembrolizumab or observation. Schedule of pembrolizumab is per physician’s choice, with a choice of either pembrolizumab 200 mg IV administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle or 400 mg IV administered on day 1 of every 42-day cycle. If every 42 day (6 week dosing) is chosen, then 4 doses of 400 mg IV every 42 days can be administered followed by one cycle of 200 mg IV every 21 days, so that a total of 27 weeks of pembrolizumab is received.
Optimization and evaluation of accelerated MRI for prostate imaging
In this study will evaluate and optimize rapid or accelerated magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate. Scanning will be performed upon the existing clinical MRI scanner systems in the Department of Radiology. The novelty of our work lies in modifying clinical sequences or acquisitions in order to acquire less data (and hence faster imaging) and use novel reconstruction methods to produce diagnostic images. Our methods will result in accelerated MRI as less scanning data will be required when compared to conventional imaging
Optimized sodium MR imaging at clinical field strength to study in vivo sodium signal in mild traumatic brain injury
The overall goal of this project is to detect and quantify changes in brain sodium MRI (NaMRI) signal after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI).
Optimizing exercise for the treatment of anxiety
Anxiety disorders are impairing and amongst the most common psychiatric conditions; yet, many impacted individuals do not receive or respond to evidence-based care. There is thus a great need to develop and optimize additional first-line, more accessible interventions for anxiety disorders. Exercise has benefits for anxiety and physical health, without many of the side effects, accessibility issues, or costs of medications or psychotherapy. However, adherence to exercise recommendations is low, and even worse for high intensity exercise (HIE) in individuals with anxiety disorders. This may be due to high anxiety sensitivity (AS), or fear of anxiety-related physiological sensations, as HIE may induce similar sensations. There are, however, no formal guidelines for optimal intensity or titration of exercise for any mental health condition, and it remains unclear whether exercise requires slower titration for optimal tolerability and response for anxiety.In order to develop exercise as a formally prescribed intervention for anxiety disorders in a way that enhances engagement and adherence, research is needed to guide optimal titration of exercise prescriptions, and to establish mechanisms that should be targeted to optimize outcomes in practice. Addressing these gaps, this study will examine the impact of exercise titration on AS/anxiety symptom severity as well as engagement and adherence. Specifically, 90 sedentary adults with a primary anxiety disorder and high AS will be randomized to either 8 weeks of 1) low intensity exercise, or 2) flexible titration to HIE. Blinded, validated clinician-rated and patient-rated outcomes will be assessed over treatment and at 1- and 3-month follow-up. To better understand what mechanisms influence decisions to exercise in the real-world, and novel to this research and key training goals, are the use of heart rate (HR) as an objective mechanistic target for exercise intensity, examining changes in valuation of exercise through a neuroeconomics task, examining changes in interoceptive sensitivity, and the integration of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to measure effects of immediate changes in mood with exercise on anxiety outcomes and adherence. We hypothesize that those in the T-HIE condition will evidence lower levels of AS at post-treatment (Week 8; primary endpoint). Additionally, we hypothesize that T-HIE and LIE will have similar rates of engagement and adherence.
