Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called efzofitimod (the study drug) is a potential treatment for patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD).

Efzofitimod is an investigational drug that is given by infusion every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses. 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, efzofitimod 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 efzofitimod 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. The study is double-blinded study, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the study efzofitimod or placebo.

The study is sponsored by aTyr Pharma, Inc. Participation in the study will require 9 visits to the MUSC main campus and will have the following procedures completed over the course of your participation: blood draw, urine collection, 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.

Keywords
Drug Studies, HIV / AIDS
Summary

HIV infected cocaine users have uncontrolled viral levels and impaired immunity to control infection compared to HIV infected non-drug users. We ask the questions why cocaine use makes HIV infected cocaine users more sick than other patients. The goal is to improve immunity to control HIV infection in cocaine users. Both uninfected cocaine users and HIV-infected cocaine users are especially needed in this study.

A Phase III, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ONCOFID-P-B (paclitaxel-hyaluronic acid conjugate) Administered Intravesically to Patients with BCG-unresponsive Carcinoma in Situ of the Bladder with or without Ta-T1 Papillary Disease

Keywords

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with carcinoma in situ of the bladder (localized bladder cancer, also called "non-muscle invasive bladder cancer") with or without Ta-T1 papillary disease (Ta means that the cancer is only in the innermost layer of the bladder lining, T1 means that the cancer has started to grow into the connective tissue beneath the bladder lining). The investigational drug used in this study is ONCOFID-P-B. The main purpose of this study is to understand if the study medicine ONCOFID-P-B is effective and safe in treating patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder who have not received benefit from the standard BCG treatment and are not candidates for radical cystectomy. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 4 years and will include a screening period of up to 4 weeks followed by up to 33 study visits to the study site.

Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine the safety and tolerability, the best dose for future development, as well as antitumor activity of a new antibody drug conjugate (ADC) called MYTX-011. MYTX-011 is a new drug, being studied in humans for the first time for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study team is investigating this drug to help treat lung cancers that are resistant to standard medications. This drug targets a protein called cMET on the cancer cell. MYTX-011 will attach to the cMET and release chemotherapy into the cancer cell.

A Phase 0 Master Protocol Using the CIVO Platform to Evaluate Intratumoral Microdoses of Anti-Cancer Therapies

Researcher
Jason Newman

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Head & Neck, Drug Studies, Men's Health, Women's Health
Summary

This research is being done to better understand how anti-cancer drugs affect cells within a tumor. Injecting very small amounts (microdoses) of pembrolizumab alone or in combination with MK-0482 or MK-4830 above may help the developer of these drugs to understand more about how these drugs work and what changes they make on the tumor. Subjects in this study will have their tumor injected with anti-cancer drugs using a CIVO device. The CIVO device delivers microdoses of multiple drugs or drug combinations directly into the tumor. Some of the procedures in this study include ultrasound assisted placement for tumor injection, a mucrodose injection of anti-cancer drugs into the tumor, and surgery to remove the tumor. Participation in the study will take 5 visits over a period if 56 days. The screening portion will be 28 days and the treatment portion will be 28 days from the time of the injection to the time of follow-up contact by the study team.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. This study is for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, or other solid tumors. E7386 in combination with levantinib fight tumors by decreasing tumor density. The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of an experimental treatment called E7386. E7386 is considered "experimental" because it has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any disease. Levantinib is FDA approved and has been previously used to treat cancer, however, it is considered experimental in combination with E7386.
