This study is for subjects that have been newly diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)) combination of the drug zanubrutinib (BRUKINSA™) and a standard chemotherapy treatment called R-CHOP. This study will test the how well the drug combination works and how safe it is. The subject will be given the study drug combination in 21 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, bone marrow biopsies, and imaging scans. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called PRA023/MK7240 (the study drug) is a good treatment for patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD). The study drug PRA023/7240 is an investigational drug that is given by infusion every 4 weeks. An investigational drug is not approved by The US Food and Drug Administration. It can only be used in a research study like this one. In this study, PRA023/MK7240 will be compared with a placebo (dummy drug). The placebo will be a saline solution that 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 the PRA023/MK7240 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 50% chance of receiving either the study drug or placebo. The study is double-blinded study and 50 weeks long, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the study drug or placebo.
The study is sponsored by Prometheus Biosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. The study is being done at approximately 25 sites across the United States. The main portion of the study will require 15 visits to the MUSC main campus and will have the following procedures completed over the course of your participation: 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 asked to complete surveys. If you complete the initial blinded treatment period of 50 weeks, the study doctor will discuss whether you are eligible to enter the open label period of the study, meaning no placebo. If you are eligible and agree, you will receive 500 mg of study drug once every 4 weeks for an additional 52 weeks. Compensation is available for participation.
This research study is enrolling participants that have been diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer (a disease in which cancer cells form in the lining of the stomach) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (a type of cancer forming in the area where the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach join together) and have not received prior treatment for advanced cancer and the tumor has already tested positive for fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) expression. FGFR2b is a protein that possibly causes cells to grow more quickly and multiply abnormally. The purpose of this study is to see if bemarituzumab is safe, tolerable, and effective when administered along with mFOLFOX6 (a combination of 5 fluorouracil [5 FU], oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and nivolumab and whether it causes any side effects. Bemarituzumab is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants will be pre-screening to see if they qualify to participate in Part 2. During the pre-screening portion, participants will provide either archived tissue or a fresh tumor sample in order to test for FGFR2b proteins. If the test results show an excessive amount of FGFR2b proteins in the tumor, participants may be asked to consider participating in the Part 2 study involving bemarituzumab, an investigational drug for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Participants in this study will receive either bemarituzumab with mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab or placebo with mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab. The placebo will look like bemarituzumab but it will not contain active ingredients and has no effect on participants' condition. This study involves pharmacokinetic testing which is a blood test to determine how much study drug is in the blood. Bemarituzumab is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants could be in this study for up to 40 months and up to 57 visits.
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.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Sea-CD70. This study will find out if the drug is safe and tolerable, and find out the maximum tolerated dose (highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects) or recommended dose for the next phase of clinical study. The subject will be given the study drug in 28 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, ECG (electrocardiogram), or a bone marrow exam. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 3 years.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed (the disease has gotten worse after a period of improvement) or refractory (the disease does not respond to treatment) Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) lymphomas.
The investigational drug in this study is Nanatinostat. Investigational means it is not approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Nanatinostat is a tablet that will be taken by mouth once a day.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the combination therapy, nanatinostat and valganciclovir, on treating lymphoma cancers. Valganciclovir is an approved anti-viral drug (a drug that fights against virus in your body), which has been used in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by a virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is similar to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The safety and effectiveness of nanatinostat on its own will also be reviewed in a small subset of patients.
Participants can expect to receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity/ side effects, or participants withdraw. Participants can expect to be in follow up for up to 5 years.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The investigational drug in this study is idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel). The purpose of this study is to provide the investigational drug as a possible cancer treatment that would otherwise be unavailable. Patients can expect to have about 8 clinic visits and to be in this study for up to 3 months after receiving the study drug and in follow up for up to 15 years.
This study is for subjects with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has gotten worse or come back after two or more treatments. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved drug) study drug called loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402). Treatment will be administered intravenously or via tablet depending on the subject's assigned treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether the investigational drug combination of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with one of four other anti-cancer agents is a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Treatment will be assigned by a system in a sequence unless the subject has received the combination drug (the drug that is not locastuximab). This means the first enrolled subject will be assigned to arm C, the second to arm E, and so on. The subject will be seen approximately once a week during treatment, and may remain in the study for up to 3 years.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced solid cancer tumors or relapsed prostate cancer. The investigational drugs in this study are hydroxychloroquine, nelfinavir, metformin, dasatinib and sirolimus. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of up to 5 study drugs used together for the treatment of cancer. Subjects can expect to be in this study for about 2.5 years.
This study is for patients who have advanced cancers, such as head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and others. This study is testing a new treatment for these types of cancer. The new test drug is called BCA101. Pembrolizumab is an approved drug by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the diseases described in this study and will be used as approved. The type of cancer a patient has will determine whether he/she will get BCA101 alone or BCA101 in combination with pembrolizumab. Participants will receive either BCA101 alone, BCA101 in combination with pembrolizumab or BCA101 and enforafenib, depending on your cancer until the cancer gets worse, they experience bad side effects, or until they withdraw consent, or until the Investigator considers it is in his/her best interest to discontinue the study drug.
