Stronger Hearts, Healthier Lives: Join Our Study
N
Navin Kaushal
Why is this study being done?Cardiokidney Metabolic Syndrome or CKM is a new syndrome recognized by the American Heart Association and occurs when an individual has a combination of conditions which includes being overweight, in addition to having metabolic risk factors (hypertriglyceridemia [≥135 mg/dL], hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes), or chronic kidney disease. Researchers at Indiana University are conducting a study to learn more about how to promote exercise among individuals with CKM. CKM may have the potential to be reversed by participating in regular exercise. Findings from this study will help us understand physical activity levels among individuals with CKM, with the goal of designing an effective exercise program for those individuals. Who can take part?Adults (ages 18 and older) who are at risk of developing Cardiokidney Metabolic Syndrome (CKM).
Indiana Biobank – Help Shape the Future of Medicine with the Indiana Biobank!

Tatiana Foroud
The Indiana Biobank is a research study started in 2010 by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. The Indiana Biobank is like a giant library—but instead of books, it holds over 60,000 blood and other samples. Each sample is connected to the person’s medical records. The person’s name and personal details are removed before researchers can use the samples. These samples help doctors and scientists discover better ways to treat and prevent diseases!When you donate a small blood sample, you’re helping researchers learn more about how to keep people healthy. Your sample is unique, and it can help make sure future treatments work for everyone.Watch this video to learn more:
Exploring Treatment Options After Lung Cancer Surgery
V
Vijaya L. Kakani, MD
Do you have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but the cancer was not fully removed by surgery? You may qualify for a study exploring treatment options for NSCLC.This research study is testing whether adding a medication called sacituzumab tirumotecan to pembrolizumab after surgery may help prevent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from returning in people whose cancer was not completely removed by surgery. You may be able to take part if you:Are an adult diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)Have had surgery for NSCLCDid not have a complete response after surgeryAre eligible to receive pembrolizumab
Walking Juntos: Developing and Testing a Culturally-Tailored Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
S
Sandeep Batra, MD
This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic. Interested in participating?
