Summary

This open-label, LTFU study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sotatercept in participants with PAH previously treated with sotatercept or placebo. Participants eligible to enroll in this study will have participated in and completed the relevant study participants of the parent PAH sotatercept clinical trials. The estimated duration of the A011-12 study is up to 7 years; however, the estimated duration of enrollment for each participants is approximately 4 years. There is no formal sample size calculation for the study. The number of participants in this LTFU study is dependent upon the enrollment in the parent protocols. Approximately 700 participants are anticipated to enroll in the study.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called HZN-825 (the study drug) is an appropriate treatment for patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). HZN-825 is an investigational drug that taken by mouth as a pill. An investigational drug is not approved by The US Food and Drug Administration and can only be used in a research study, like this one.

In this study, HZN-825 will be compared with a placebo (a pill that looks like the study pill but does not have any study drug in it). The comparison with the placebo helps to determine whether the effects seen in your body is because of HZN-825 or not. This is a randomized study meaning that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either the study drug or placebo. This will be done with the help of a computer-based program, and you will have 67% chance of receiving HZN-825. The study is double-blinded, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the study drug or placebo. Should an emergency arise, and it is determined necessary, your study doctor will be able to find out what medication group you have been assigned.

The study is sponsored by Horizon Therapeutics Ireland DAC. The study is being done at approximately 135 sites across the world. The study is 60 weeks long will require 12 visits to the MUSC main campus. During study participation, the following procedures will be completed: blood draw, physician-led assessments of your disease (for example physical exam and skin thickness testing), tests to assess your pulmonary function and health (Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT)), electrocardiogram, as well as being asked to complete surveys about your overall health and wellbeing. Compensation is available for participation

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of sotatercept treatment (plus background PAH therapy) verses placebo (plus background PAH therapy) on time to clinical worsening (TTCW) in participants who are newly diagnosed with PAH and are in intermediate or high risk of disease progression. The study is divided into a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), followed by a Double-blind Placebo-controlled (DBPC) Treatment Period. When a participant experiences an event of clinical worsening, they will complete the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit and will be eligible to enroll immediately in the open-label, long-term follow-up (LTFU) study, A011-12 (SOTERIA). Up to 662 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the 2 study treatment groups (331 participants per arm).

Summary

This study is for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.
This study will help the study doctors find out if taking R-mini-CHOP plus the study drug CC-486 (oral azacitidine) is better, the same, or worse than taking the R-mini-CHOP drug combination alone. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be comparing the drug combinations to see which drug combination allows more patients to have no disease symptoms at 1 year or more after the start of the study treatment and which drug combination extends the overall survival (how long people live) of patients at 5 years after the start of the study treatment.

A Multi-center, Single-Dose and Repeat-Dose Over Eight Weeks, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability as well as Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Doses of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human) 15% Administered Subcutaneously in Subjects with Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate a new therapy formulation 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.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of Alpha-1 drugs (Alpha-1 15% and Liquid Alpha1-PI) in participants with AATD. Participants will be placed into one of two groups. Each group will receive both drugs at different points in the treatment period and because this is an "open label", study participants and the study staff know which dose of study drug participants receive. The study will last up to 486 days (16 months). Many visits are able to be conducted through home health care, lessening the need to come into the clinic.

Alpha-1 15% is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The other drug in this study is Liquid Alpha1-PI (licensed as Prolastin®-C Liquid) and is an FDA approved treatment for adults with emphysema due to AATD. However, it is only approved for the recommended dose of 60 mg/kg. This study includes both the FDA approved 60mg/kg of Liquid Alpha1-PI and an experimental dose of 120 mg/kg that is not FDA approved. Alpha-1 15% is given as an injection under the skin and Liquid Alpha1-PI is given as an infusion into the veins.

You may or may not directly benefit from participation. However, you may help advance scientific knowledge in the treatment of AATD. Currently, the only FDA approved treatment for AATD is IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI. Since the drug being studied, Alpha-1 15%, is injected with a small needle under your skin, there may be a benefit to future patients by providing flexibility of treatment route options as well as stability in serum alpha1-antitrypsin levels.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and have a certain protein, called MET in their tumor. The investigational drug in this study is REGN5093-M114 (study drug). The study drug works by bringing chemotherapy to the cells that express MET protein to kill those cells and not the other tissues in your body. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable (how your body reacts to the drug), and effective the study drug is. Participants will receive the study drug intravenously (in your vein) every 3 weeks for as long as they tolerate the drug well and the cancer is stable or responding to the study drug. There is then 2 follow up visits 30 and 90 days after the last dose of study drug and telephone calls every 30 days until the study ends.

Summary

This is a Phase II (determine the safety and response of a drug) study that is looking at how long the contrast agent Gadopiclenol stays in the plasma (part of blood not including red cells) after a single injection during an MRI in children aged up to and including 23 months. Gadopiclenol is an investigational drug, which means that it is not approved by the FDA. This study will be assessing the safety of gadopiclenol for up to 3 months following the administration of gadopiclenol at the MRI, and will evaluate the quality of the images obtained from when gadopiclenol was used at the MRI. Blood samples will be collected three times within the 8 hours following the MRI for analysis of how much gadopiclenol is left in the blood.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The investigational drug in the study is AMG 757. Both drugs are immunotherapy treatments, medicines that work with your immune system to help fight cancer. AMG 757 will be given in a liquid form directly into participants' veins (intravenously). This study is being done to find out about the safety and efficacy (effects good or bad) of AMG 757 for the treatment of SCLC. Participants can expect to receive treatment for about 24 months.
The duration of AMG 757 treatment will depend on how the disease responds to the investigational drugs and how the body tolerates AMG 757. So, participation may be longer or shorter than this window. The study period includes screening period lasting up to 21 days, a treatment period, a first safety follow-up visit, and a second safety follow-up visit. This will be followed by long-term follow-up visits up to 1 year from the first dose of AMG 757 for a total of about 3 years in the study.
