Trial of Perioperative Tadalafil and Influenza Vaccination in Cancer Patients Undergoing Major Surgical Resection of a Primary Abdominal Malignancy (PERIOP-04)
Surgical resection of a primary malignancy, while critical for cure, results in postoperative immune suppression, characterized by MDSC mediated inhibition of NK cell killing. In preclinical models the causal link between this immune suppression and the formation of postoperative metastases is undeniable.

Inductive Camrelizumab and Apatinib for Patients With Locally Advanced and Resectable Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
After tumor hypoxia, high expression of VEGF will induce tumor cells to express programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), which further leads to immune escape. Targeted drugs against angiogenesis can relieve immunosuppression to a certain extent, and theoretically have a synergistic effect with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. The innovation of this study is …

The Effect of Inflammation and Damage to Lymph Node Structures on Durable Protective Immunity Following Vaccination
Hypothesis: Infections other than HIV can cause LN inflammation and collagen damage to the fibroblastic reticular cell network (FRCn), which will lead to CD4 T cell depletion and impaired vaccine responses. This protocol will study yellow fever vaccine (YFV) in two cohorts of people, one from Uganda and the other …
