EBRT and HDR Brachytherapy for Unfavorable-intermediate High and Very High-risk Prostate Cancer
This study is trying to find out if the combination of Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), MRI guided high dose radiation (HDR) brachytherapy treatment (internal radiation implant procedure) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) treatments lead to less side effects. This study is also looking at patient outcomes, quality of life, …

Lenalidomide in Combination With R-DA-EPOCH in Patients With Untreated DLBCL With MYC Rearrangement
The prognosis of DLBCL with MYC rearrangement is dismal. Previous study showed that lenalidomide in combination with R-CHOP showed promising therapeutic activity and that R-DA EPOCH was superior compared to R-CHOP regimen in this cohort of patients. The investigators therefore design this phase I/II study to investigate the safety and …

A Long Term Follow-Up Study of Fabry Disease Subjects Treated With FLT190
Fabry disease is a rare, X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by an abnormal gene encoding the -galactosidase A (GLA) enzyme. The GLA enzyme is ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and is responsible for the breakdown of glycosphingolipids, deficiency of which results in the accumulation of specific glycosphingolipids that …
Effects of tDCS on Apraxia of Speech in Non-Fluent Primary Progressive Aphasia
