Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. This study is for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, or other solid tumors. E7386 in combination with levantinib fight tumors by decreasing tumor density. The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. E7386 is considered "experimental" because it has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any disease. Levantinib is FDA approved and has been previously used to treat cancer, however, it is considered experimental in combination with E7386.

A Phase II, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Study and Open Label Long Term Extension to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Elafibranor in Adult Participants With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)

List of Studies


Keywords
Drug Studies, Hepatology, Liver, Rare Diseases
Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of elafibranor (the study drug) in participants with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a rare disease of the liver that leads to injury and destruction of bile ducts. Damage to bile ducts leads to buildup of bile in the liver, which then causes further damage, and leads to disease progression. This study will compare elafibranor to a placebo, a dummy treatment. The main objective of the trial will be to study the safety and side effects of the study drug. The trial will also study the study drug's effects on blood tests and other tests related to PSC disease activity.

Summary

This study is recruiting patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a KRAS mutation whose cancer has not responded to standard of care treatment. (All human cells have a gene called KRAS. If cells have a KRAS mutation, the cells may multiply out of control which can cause cancer.) This study has two parts. The first part of the study is being done to find the safety, tolerability and safe dose of a study drug called BBP-398 when it is used in combination with another drug that has already been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, called Nivolumab. The second part of the study is being done to further understand the how tumors are affected by the study drug, BBP-398, and Nivolumab. About 26 patients in the United States will participate in this study. You may be eligible if you have NSCLC with a KRAS mutation that has not responded to standard treatment. Patients who enroll in this study will be required to come to MUSC for study treatments and follow-up visits. The participation in the study can last up to 2 years with a follow up period of 3 years.

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate magrolimab in combination with pembrolizumab only, with pembrolizumab + platinum + 5-FU chemotherapy, and with zimberelimab + platinum + 5-FU chemotherapy in patients with untreated metastatic head and neck cancer. Magrolimab will also be evaluated in combination with docetaxel in patients with metastatic head and neck cancer who have received prior treatment.

This study is split into two phases, the initial phase (safety run-in) is to confirm a safe dose of magrolimab in combination with pembrolizumab + platinum + 5-FU chemotherapy and with docetaxel. The second phase will evaluate the effectiveness of magrolimab in combination with pembrolizumab only (without chemotherapy), with pembrolizumab + platinum + 5-FU chemotherapy, with zimberelimab + platinum + 5-FU, and with docetaxel.

Other purposes of this study include determining the quantity of magrolimab in the blood, your quality of life and the side effects these drugs have on the body.

Sex Differences in the Interface between Cannabis Use and Stress among Emerging Adults

Date Added
May 2nd, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00127995
Researcher
Kevin Gray

List of Studies


Keywords
Adolescents, Drug Studies, Psychiatry, Substance Use
Summary

This study is enrolling emerging adults (ages 18-25) with cannabis use disorder (CUD) to examine sex differences in (a) cannabis withdrawal symptoms during short-term cannabis abstinence, (b) cannabidiol (CBD) versus placebo effects on stress reactivity during short-term cannabis abstinence, and (c) the relationship between stress reactivity and time to cannabis relapse after short-term cannabis abstinence. The proposed study is designed to reveal sex differences and guide the development of tailored treatments that address factors disproportionately affecting emerging adult females with CUD.

Participants will complete an assessment visit to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be scheduled for their next visit and will be instructed to abstain from cannabis use for 3 days. Participants will be set up with a phone application (app) and given instructions on its use. This app will send twice daily, random surveys everyday throughout study participation with questions about cannabis use, cravings, and overall mood. Participants will also complete twice daily saliva samples.

At the end of the 3 days, participants will return to the clinic for their second visit. Participants will complete a urine and blood sample at each visit. After eating a snack, participants will receive one dose of CBD (800mg) or placebo and then participate in a stress task. Upon completion of the stress task, participants will complete 3 saliva samples and then be discharged after evaluation by research staff. After the completion of Visit 2, participants will continue to complete twice daily surveys for 10 days. The study will last approximately 14 days.

There are risks involved with participating in this study, including risks associated with CBD, risks associated with the stress task and study procedures, emotional distress from answering personal questions, and loss of confidentiality. There is a risk of experiencing cannabis withdrawal symptoms during the 3-day period of cannabis abstinence. Some potential risks related to CBD include dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue. There is a risk of loss of confidentiality, but the researchers will code the samples and research information to protect privacy. There are no direct benefits to the participant, but we hope the knowledge gained will help us inform future clinical strategies to address cannabis use in emerging adults.
