Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called RO7198457. This study is for patients with Stage II or III colon or rectal cancer, which has been treated surgically and with chemotherapy, and your blood has been found to have ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) during a ctDNA screening test. RO7198457 (autogene cevumeran) is an immunotherapy that is individualized to a tumor and designed to mount an immune response against it. Treatment includes RO7198457 being injected in the vein, physical exams, blood sample collections, and CT scans for up to a year. Risks include fatigue, fever, and headache. Patients may or may not receive direct benefit while on the study, however, information collected during this study will help people with colon and rectal cancer in the future. RO7198457 is considered "experimental" because it has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any disease.

Summary

This study is enrolling subjects who are scheduled for a ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Ventricular tachycardia is a fast heartbeat that starts with an abnormal signal in the lower chambers of the heart, which are the ventricles. An ablation is a procedure where a catheter (thin, flexible tube) with a tip that can deliver energy is used to burn the heart tissue where those abnormal signals are coming from. The catheter being used in this study is called the FlexAbilityTM Ablation Catheter and was recently approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) Since it is newly approved, the FDA wants to continue collecting more information about the catheter and its use, so this study is called a post approval study. Participation in this study will take about 1 year. During this year, data will be collected including your medical history, cardiac medication use, ablation procedure, and any medical events that may occur. You will be seen or contacted 4 times. There is a risk of loss of confidentiality and there may be risks that are not yet known. There may be no direct benefit to you but it is hoped the information learned may contribute to knowledge in this field.

Summary

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.

A Phase 1 Study of Inhaled KB408 for the Treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00132499
Researcher
Charlie Strange

List of Studies


Keywords
Genetics, Lung, Pulmonary, Shortness of Breath
Summary

This study is designed to learn about the safety and effectiveness of a new gene therapy called KB408 for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.
KB408 delivers copies of the genes that produce AAT to the lungs and is given by inhaling a mist (called nebulization). The genes are carried and delivered by a modified herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This virus is not harmful and simply acts as a vehicle to deliver the genes to the lungs. The genes that are delivered by KB408 do not change a person's own DNA. This is an open-label study, meaning that the participants, the study doctor, and the sponsor all know that the participants are receiving KB408. KB408 is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved for commercial use by the FDA.
Eligible participants will receive one of three doses of KB408. Participants will have a screening visit first to make sure that they are able to participate in the study. After the screening visit, participants will need to return to the study center 6 more times over 2 months. At the second visit, participants will receive the study drug. Each visit will take between 2 and 6 hours to complete. Study procedures include medical history collection, vitals, physical exam, ECG, spirometry and DLCO, urine cotinine test, blood work, cheek swab, sputum sample, and bronchoscopy (only for participants in cohorts 3a and 3b).
Possible side effects of KB408 include temporary increases in certain cell types in the lungs and temporary increases in the breathing rate after dosing. Since this is the first time that KB408 has been given to humans, it is possible that participants may have an immune reaction to the study drug. There is also a risk with genetic testing and a risk to confidentiality. Participants may not receive any personal benefit from being in this study. There is no guarantee that the Study Drug will help. The information that is collected from the study may help other people in the future.

Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with advanced solid tumors with the TP53 Y220C alteration in cancer cells. This alteration is a mutation of the tumor that can be found through laboratory tests that use a sample of tissue, blood, or other fluids to check for signs of cancer. This study involves research testing the safety, best dose, side effects and timing of the study drug called PC1486. You will take the study drug, PC14586, in the form of a tablet. If assigned to the combination treatment arm (Part 1), you will also be given pembrolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that is FDA approved to treat your kind of cancer. The study drug PC1486 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study drug targets the TP53 Y220C genetic alteration in tumor cells. During the pre-screening portion, participants will provide either archived tissue or a fresh tumor sample to test for the genetic alteration. If the participants show the genetic tumor alteration in the cancer cells, they may be asked to participate in the trial. Treatment arms are groups or subgroups of participants in a clinical trial. This study will have two arms: one studies PC1486 alone and the second arm studies PC1486 in combination with Pembrolizumab against advanced solid tumors. PC14586 is a small molecule (chemical) that is designed to act on the genetic alteration TP53 Y220C in cancer cells to slow the growth of cancer, and it is taken orally. This study involves blood tests, a possible tumor biopsy, CT, and MRI scans. The study will last approximately 6 months of treatment, followed up by a check-up after the first 3 weeks and every 3 months after. Some common risks (observed in greater than 20% of people) include: Nausea, Vomiting, Abnormal liver tests, Abnormal kidney test (possible kidney damage

Summary

This project is being conducted in subjects that have been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are candidates to receive treatment with single agent azacitidine based on local country approvals and/or local The study is designed to move efficiently from Phase 1 to Phase 3. This study is testing investigational drug called ASTX030. Investigational means that it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it is undergoing testing to find out if it is safe and effective. ASTX030 is a combination of two medicines, azacitidine and cedazuridine, given by mouth. The primary purpose is to test the levels of the investigational drug ASTX030 in your blood, including if food has an effect (Phase 1B only), the safety and tolerability of the drugs, and how subjects respond to the drug. The subject may remain in the study about 3 years. If you benefit from treatment, you may receive study drugs as long as you continue to benefit. If you develop side effects to the study drugs that prevent you from continuing treatment, or if your study doctor believes it is in your best interest to stop the study drug(s), you may be asked to stop the study treatment. After you stop treatment, the Sponsor will continue to collect health information to evaluate long-term effects of the study drugs.
