| Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Senior Vice President for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Senior Associate Dean for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, always knew she wanted to be a physician. "Health equity was built into everything I did, even if I didn’t know it or recognize it at the time," Wilkins said. "I have always learned and believed that people are the same — everyone deserves to be healthy, and everyone should have the best opportunities to take care of themselves and their families."

Vanderbilt was the lead site for an NIH-funded, phase 2, multicenter influenza vaccine study in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients that may lead to a change in the current flu vaccine recommendations in this vulnerable population. Natasha Halasa, MD, MPH and colleagues recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that two doses of high-dose trivalent flu vaccine resulted in higher amounts of influenza-specific antibodies than two doses of standard dose quadrivalent vaccine. https://news.vumc.org/2023/03/02/high-dose-flu-vaccine-beneficial-for-pediatric-stem-cell-transplant-patients/ |
cfDNA Assay Prospective Observational Validation for Early Cancer Detection and Minimal Residual Disease
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
This is an observational case-control study to train and validate a genome-wide methylome
enrichment platform to detect multiple cancer types and to differentiate amongst cancer
types. The cancers included in this study are brain, breast, bladder, cervical, colorectal,
endometrial, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, hepatobiliary, leukemia, lung, lymphoma,
multiple myeloma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, renal, sarcoma, and thyroid. These cancers
were selected based on their prevalence and mortality to maximize impact on clinical care.
Additionally, the ability of the whole-genome methylome enrichment platform to detect minimal
residual disease after completion of cancer treatment and to detect relapse prior to clinical
presentation will be evaluated in four cancer types (breast, colorectal, lung, prostate).
These cancers were selected based on the existing clinical landscape and treatment
availability.

INCB000928 Administered as a Monotherapy or in Combination With Ruxolitinib in Participants With Anemia Due to Myeloproliferative Disorders
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
This Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-finding study is intended to evaluate the safety and
tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of INCB000928 administered as monotherapy or in
combination with ruxolitinib in participants with MF who are transfusion-dependent or
presenting with symptomatic anemia. This study will consist of 2 parts: dose escalation and
expansion.

Acalabrutinib for the Treatment of Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
This phase II trial studies how well acalabrutinib works in treating patients with chronic graft versus host disease. Acalabrutinib may be an effective treatment for graft-versus-host disease caused by a stem cell transplant.

Tovorafenib (DAY101) Monotherapy or in Combination With Other Therapies for Patients With Melanoma and Other Solid Tumors
Multiple Cancer Types
This is a Phase 1b/2, multi-center, open label umbrella study of patients 12 years of age
with recurrent, progressive, or refractory melanoma or other solid tumors with alterations in
the key proteins of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, referred to as the MAPK pathway.

Itacitinib for the Treatment Steroid Refractory Immune Related Adverse Events Arising from Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
This phase II trial tests how well itacitinib works in in patients with immune related adverse events (irAEs) arising from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that do not respond to steroids (steroid refractory). Steroids are the usual treatment for these side effects. However, sometimes steroids do not improve or fix the side effects. Giving itacitinib may be effective in treating patients with known or suspected problems coming from ICIs, that do not resolve or improve with steroids, by reducing the patient's immune system response that can cause the irAEs.
