Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of the drug omadacyline for people with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease, caused by a type of mycobacteria called Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either omadacycline or placebo, with a 60% chance of being treated with omadacycline and a 40% chance of being treated with placebo. About 75 men and women with NTM lung infection caused by MABc, ages 18 and up, will be in this study, with an estimated 4 participants being enrolled from the MUSC site. Participants will be in this study for approximately 5 months in total, beginning with the Screening visit and continuing until their last study visit.

List of Studies


Keywords
Heart, Pulmonary Hypertension, Vascular
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to continue to test how well the Endospan NEXUSTM Aortic Arch Stent Graft System performs in the treatment of a diseased aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main large vessel that carries blood away from the heart. A stent graft is a self-expanding frame that is covered with a material intended to seal the vessel walls.
The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is delivered to the diseased area of your aorta by traveling through your vascular system using fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray pictures), starting with a small incision or needle puncture near your groin (inner thigh). The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is being studied and is not approved by the FDA which means it is investigational in this study. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System has CE Mark which means it is approved for use in Europe. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is only available through the clinical study in the United States.

A Phase 1b/2 Study of HCW9218, a Bifunctional TGF-β Antagonist/IL-15 Protein Complex, for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Keywords

Summary

An experimental drug called HCW9218 is being tested in this study. HCW9218 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other health authority for the treatment of cancer or any other disease. Since HCW9218 is experimental, it is only available to people taking part in this study. This study is for participants diagnosed with advanced pancreatic and the disease has spread or cannot be surgically corrected. This is a Phase 1b/2 study, meaning that it is a first in human research study and there is no data on HCW9218 in humans. This study tests different doses of HCW9218 to see which dose is safer in people, how well the treatment is tolerated and whether it has effects on the disease. The study doctor will tell participants which part of this study that they will take part in, the dose escalation phase or dose expansion phase. The dose escalation phase the part of a study that determines the best dose of a new drug or treatment. In a dose-escalation study, the dose of the test drug is increased a little at a time in different groups of people until the highest dose that does not cause harmful side effects is found. In the dose-expansion part of a study allows more participants to receive the study drug to further test the potential side effects of the drug. HCW9218 is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). If participants continue in this study, he/she will begin receiving HCW9218 treatment every 28 days. HCW9218 is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). For each day participants receive HCW9218, participants will be treated as an outpatient in a treatment center. Participants will be asked to stay in the treatment center for up to 6 hours after the first dose, 3 hours after the second dose, and 30 minutes after subsequent doses, so that the study team can carefully monitor the body's functions and closely watch for potential side effects of the study drug. This study will last about 4 years. Participants will be treated with HCW9218 until disease progression or until they can no longer tolerate the study drug. Participants could be in this study for up to 3 years. There may be risks associated with being treated with HCW9218. Some of the most common side effects that the study doctors know about based on drugs that are similar to HCW9218 are: injection site irritation/ reaction, fatigue/ tiredness, and flu-like symptoms.

Summary

The types of balloons being studied in this clinical study is similar to other balloon devices that are routinely used in angioplasty procedures; however, it has a unique technology inside the balloon which is designed to deliver sonic energy (sound) to disrupt the hard, calcified elements of vascular blockages. With the balloon inflated at a low pressure, the probe will be activated to disrupt the calcium that is restricting the expansion of the artery.

Summary

This study is for patients that have had hematopoietic stem cell transplants and/or have been donors. The purpose of this study is to see how well transplant works in adults with a MMUD using stem cells from a donor's blood, and in children with a MMUD using stem cells from a donor's bone marrow.This study treatment does not include any investigational drugs. The medicines and procedures in this study are standard for transplant. Participants can expect to be on this study for approximately 1 year.

A MULTI-CENTER STUDY OF NON-INVASIVE COLORECTAL CANCER EVALUATION IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS (NICE-CF)

Researcher
Christina Mingora

List of Studies

Keywords
Cystic Fibrosis
Summary

This is a cross-sectional, multi-center study comparing stool-based testing (multi-target DNA-based test and quantitative FIT test) to standard of care colonoscopy for CRC screening in PwCF. The study includes an enrollment visit, two stool samples completed at home, a clinical screening colonoscopy, and three participant surveys which will be completed at enrollment and remotely.
The total duration of participant participation will be 3-12 months, depending on the timing of the completion of the stool sample and the participant's colonoscopy. The targeted participant timeline is 3 months from enrollment to the completion of a clinical screening colonoscopy. To allow for varying site-specific clinical colonoscopy scheduling delays and COVID delays in scheduling, the duration of time between stool sampling and screening colonoscopy may extend up to 12 months for inclusion of data in the study. However, greater than 3 months duration between stool-based testing and colonoscopy will be considered a protocol deviation.

ProspEctive, Single ARm, Multi-center Clinical InveStigation to EValuatE the Safety and Effectiveness of AMDS in the TREatment of Acute DeBakey Type I Dissection: PERSEVERE

Keywords
Surgery, Vascular
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out if AMDS is safe and effective in the treatment of acute dissection (sudden tear). For patients whose aortic anatomy is suitable for treatment with AMDS, the use of this device may promote healing of the aortic walls and possibly reduce the need for additional aortic surgeries. If conventional surgery, in combination with AMDS, is effective, it is believed that this could lead to improved aortic healing; an improvement in healing could reduce the risk of hospitalization and reoperation in the chest compared to conventional surgery alone.

Summary

The study will be a multi-center, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled 2-period cross-over study in subjects with chronic cough due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Subjects will participate in one of two cohorts (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2). Cohort 1 will evaluate a 30 mg orvepitant dose and Cohort 2 the 10 mg dose. Within each cohort, subjects will be randomised to receive either orvepitant or placebo in the first treatment period (Treatment Period A) followed by the alternate treatment in Treatment Period B. There will be a wash-out period of 3 weeks between the two treatment periods. Subjects will be randomised 1:1 to each of the two treatment orders and 1:1 to each cohort. Subjects will enter a screening period of between 14 and 28 days to determine eligibility. Eligible subjects will be randomised at the Baseline visit and will participate in two identical 28 day treatment periods with the wash-out period between them. There will be a total of 8 visits including the Screening, Baseline and final Follow-up visits.
