Personalizing surgical therapy for patients with vulvar cancer
Vulvar cancer is uncommon and has been neglected in research and clinical trials. In recent years, researchers have learned that the most common type of vulvar cancer, vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC), develops from pre-cancerous lesions via different pathways. Currently, a "one-size-fits-all" treatment approach is used for VSCC. The aim of this study is to see if personalizing surgical therapy for patients with vulvar cancer based on HPV and TP53 status will improve outcomes.

Decompression vs. Fusion for Stable Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
The overall purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a cross-country non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing midline sparing decompression alone (MSDA) to usual care (decompression with fusion).

Feasibility of Measuring Exercise's Effects on Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Progression in Prostate Cancer (EMMPC)
The investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility of a larger clinical trial assessing an exercise program during the "teachable moment" in patients with prostate cancer and measuring its effect on tumor apoptosis signaling, lipogenesis and steroidogenesis. Participants will be randomized between a 8-12 week exercise program or to standard of care only. Participants will be assessed at screening, baseline (day 0), throughout the trial intervention (days 1-84), post-intervention visit (prior to radical prostatectomy) and final study visit 6-months post-radical prostatectomy.

HIP Fracture Accelerated Surgical TreaTment And Care tracK (HIP ATTACK) Trial
HIP ATTACK is an international randomized controlled trial of 1200 patients with a hip fracture that requires a surgical intervention. This trial will determine the effect of accelerated medical clearance and accelerated surgery compared to standard care on the 30-day risk of a major perioperative complication (i.e., a composite of mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, nonfatal pneumonia, nonfatal sepsis, nonfatal stroke, and nonfatal life-threatening and major bleeding).

Complete vs Culprit-only Revascularization to Treat Multi-vessel Disease After Primary PCI for STEMI (COMPLETE)
To determine whether, on a background of optimal medical therapy, including ticagrelor, opening of all suitable narrowings or blockages found at the time of primary PCI for an acute heart attack is better than treating only the culprit lesion in patients with multi-vessel disease.

Cardiovascular Health/Outcomes: Improvements Created by Exercise and Eduction in SCI (CHOICES)
This study aims to determine whether body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) has beneficial effects, over and above arm-cycle ergometry training (ACET) on indicators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals with severe spinal cord injury (SCI).

Best Endovascular vs. Best Surgical Therapy in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia (BEST-CLI)

Clinical Experience With the Zimmer Trabecular Metal (TM) Glenoid in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TMGlenoid)
The objective of this randomized controlled study is to obtain outcomes data on the Zimmer TM glenoid component by analysis of standard scoring systems and radiographs in comparison to the cemented glenoid component. In addition, the investigators plan to provide cost analysis based on the economic data collected to justify the cost difference between both implants.
Patients with acceptable glenoid bone stock will be randomized into two groups to be treated with either a TM Glenoid or cemented glenoid component with minimum 2 years follow-up; maximum 10 years follow-up.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tunnel Widening Comparing All-inside and Interference Screw Fixation Technique
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and degree of bone tunnel widening between two groups who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery. The two groups have undergone different graft fixation methods: an interference screw/suspensory button fixation hybrid technique, and an all-inside suspensory method fixation. Tunnels are created at the time of surgery for graft placement and fixation, but have been known to enlarge post-operatively. Little has been studied on the relatively new all-inside technique.
