This study is for patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) originating outside of the lung. This study is being done to see if the combination of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide better or worse than a platinum drug and etoposide for patients with advance or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma originating outside the lung
The purpose of this research study is to see the impact of a study video on CRC screening rates and adherence.
Approximately 5,280 subjects will participate in this study at roughly 40 sites.
Many people smoke cigarettes and use e-cigarettes, and have a hard time stopping. Nicotine replacement therapy medications, such as nicotine patches and lozenges, have been shown to help people quit e-cigarette use. The purpose of the present study is to see how well nicotine patches and lozenges help people quit both smoking and vaping, and to determine if higher doses of the medication work best.
This study is for subjects with endometrial cancer has spread to other parts of your body and/or has not responded to previous treatment(s). The study is being done to see if combining two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, more effective in shrinking their cancer and preventing its growth than single drug immunotherapy with nivolumab alone. The subject can expect to be in this study for up to 24 months.
About 380 males and females aged 55 to 90 years with psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease will take part in this worldwide study. This study will be conducted at up to 100 sites in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain and others in approximately 10 countries. The study will test KarXT, a combination of 2 study drugs, xanomeline tartrate and trospium chloride. Xanomeline tartrate stimulates the muscarinic receptors (a receptor in the nervous system) that is involved in cognitive and neurobehavioral functions. Stimulation of these receptors has been shown to effect changes in cognitive performance and promote antipsychotic activity. Trospium chloride is a muscarinic inhibitor that is expected to reduce the negative peripheral (outside the brain) muscarinic side effects of xanomeline tartrate without reducing its intended therapeutic effects in the brain.
The goal of this study is to assess whether KarXT helps in relapse prevention in people with psychosis associated with AD as compared to placebo, see how safe and well accepted KarXT is in people with psychosis associated with AD as compared to placebo, and check what the body does to KarXT and how long does it stay in the body (pharmacokinetics) as compared to placebo.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BIA-28-6156 in subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD). BIA -28-6156 is an investigational drug meaning that its safety, effects and how it works are still being studied. This is a randomized (assigned by chance), placebo-controlled study, which means that some participants will receive a fake treatment (placebo) while others get the real treatment. The placebo treatment looks like the BIA-28-6156 medications but doesn't contain any active ingredient. The medication is in a pill form and will be administered orally. This research is also double blind, meaning that neither the participants nor the researcher will know which treatment they will be receiving. In Part A of this study, participants will be asked to give a blood sample for a genetic screening test. If genetic testing in part A indicates the person can participate, they may be asked to volunteer for part B. Duration of Part B is about 87 weeks, this includes 5 weeks for screening, 78 weeks for the double-blind treatment period, and 4 weeks for follow up. There are at least 11 visits in total in 20 months (9 clinic visits, 2 remote phone/video visits); this does not include unscheduled visits. During visits, participants should anticipate tests including electrocardiograms (ECGs), vitals measurements (including temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate), and a physical/neurological examination. Some of the risks includes fatigue, headache, drowsiness, muscle aches and possible worsening of PD symptoms. As for benefits, participants who receives the BIA drug may see their PD progression slowing.
The Convoke study is looking for people diagnosed with schizophrenia who are are at least 18 years of age; have a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia; have been on a stable dose of antipsychotic medication for at least 12 weeks
before the study treatment period; and own a smartphone compatible with Android 10 or greater, or iOS 14 or greater. The Convoke Study will look at 2 mobile applications (apps) to see if they can support people with moderate to severe negative schizophrenia symptoms. These apps are investigational prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) that are downloaded onto your smartphone. This study will see if an app can be part of a schizophrenia treatment plan.
This is a randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to see how effectively and how safely two different doses of bexotegrast (160 and 320 mg) can be taken every day for 52 weeks (about 12 months) by subjects with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) who are taking or not taking background therapy (other drugs for IPF include nintedanib or pirfenidone). The study is designed to test the study drug in subjects who are taking or not taking background therapy and will include about 80 subjects who are not taking background therapy at study entry. Subjects who are not taking background therapy at study entry will be allowed to start it at any time during the study. The study will consist of an up to 28-day Screening Period, a 52-week Treatment Period, and a 14-day Safety Follow-up Period. Participants will undergo an end-of-study visit at the end of the Safety Follow-up Period.
The goal of this research study is to find out if intramuscular sternocleidomastoid (SCM) steroid injections work to reduce cough when compared to superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) steroid injection. Study patients will be randomly assigned to receive injections to numb the sensation within the voice box in one of two possible locations, either a traditional voice box injection or an injection into the neck muscle (a muscle in the neck near the voice box). The injections are composed of a numbing medication (lidocaine) and a medication that helps the numbing medication work longer (steroid). The outcomes studied will include if the treatments help to minimize chronic cough and associated symptoms. By better understanding if this treatment helps improve chronic cough, an additional treatment option could help patients with chronic cough. Voice box injections are usually only performed by fellowship trained laryngologists (an extra specialized year of training after ENT training). However, if neck muscle injections are found to be equivalent in treating chronic cough, general ENT doctors could likely provide this treatment to their patients without the need to see a specialized voice box doctor.
This research is all about investigating a potential treatment for a specific type of advanced lung cancer. The cancer cells have a protein called c-Met that's acting a bit too excited, driving the cancer to spread and resist treatment. This study focuses on two treatments: one is called Telisotuzumab Vedotin (ABBV-399), which is a smart combination of an antibody and a drug that can stop this protein's activity. The other treatment is called Docetaxel. The researchers have already found in smaller studies that Telisotuzumab Vedotin could be promising for this type of cancer, especially in patients whose previous treatments didn't work well. Now they want to see if it can really make a difference in the long run. They'll be comparing Telisotuzumab Vedotin and Docetaxel to figure out which one is better at helping patients live longer without their cancer getting worse. In this study, participants will be randomly divided into two groups, like flipping a coin. One group will get a new medicine called telisotuzumab vedotin through a vein in their arm every two weeks. The other group will receive a treatment called docetaxel through a vein every three weeks. People in both groups will keep getting their assigned treatment until their doctors say it's time to stop based on certain criteria. Throughout the study, participants will have scans like X-rays or MRIs to see how their tumors are doing. These scans will happen at the beginning and then every few weeks for the first year, and less often as time goes on.Even if someone stops their treatment for a reason other than their cancer getting worse on these scans, the researchers will keep track of them until their cancer gets worse or until they decide they don't want to be in the study anymore.The whole study is expected to last around 38 months, which is a little over 3 years. They'll keep following up with the participants, either by talking to them, checking their medical records, or other appropriate methods, until the participants decide to leave the study or pass away. This study is a big step towards finding better options for people battling this tough form of lung cancer.
