Study Title Principal Investigator
A Randomized Phase II Trial of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy With or Without Epigenetic Priming in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Percentage of patients progression-free at 6 months from time of randomization. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Progression-free survival (PFS). II. Overall Survival (OS). OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms. ARM A: Patients receive azacitidine subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-6 and 8-10 and entinostat orally (PO) on days 3 and 10. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or progressive disease receive chemotherapy of the treating oncologist's choice comprising irinotecan hydrochloride intravenously (IV) on day 1, docetaxel IV on day 1, pemetrexed disodium IV on day 1, or gemcitabine hydrochloride IV on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive azacitidine PO on days 1-21 and entinostat PO on days 3 and 10. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or progressive disease receive chemotherapy of the treating oncologist's choice as in Arm A. ARM C: Patients receive chemotherapy of the treating oncologist's choice as in Arm A. After completion of treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for 24 months and then yearly thereafter.

How the diet of breastfeeding Latina moms affects the health of their babies
This study looks&nbsp;at the effects of sugar in&nbsp;Hispanic/Latina&nbsp;moms and their babies. Previous studies have found that eating and drinking too much sugar can cause weight gain and health problems that affect the liver, kidneys, and heart. Feeding sugar to children can cause health problems that affect their growth and development.&nbsp;Hispanic/Latina moms and their babies are more at risk for these health problems than other groups. <strong>We want to find out&nbsp;whether an education program to reduce sugar improves the health of Hispanic/Latina moms and their babies.&nbsp;Come join the MAMITA Study if you are a pregnant or have a newborn.</strong>
