Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer that spread to sites distant from the head and neck region (metastatic) or for cancer that returned or got worse after being treated (recurrent), and test positive for High-risk Human Papillomavirus-16 (HPV16) Infection.

The investigational vaccine in this study is called PDS0101. "Investigational" means the study vaccine being tested has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of this research is to find out if the combination of the investigational vaccine, given by subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and the standard of care, Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), given by IV, are effective and safe. The PDS0101 vaccine designed to boost the body's immune response against HPV 16.Participants can expect to receive treatment for about 2 years. Each person who agrees to take part in the study will be asked to come in for a minimum of 18 cycles and a maximum of 35 cycles.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has returned (recurrent) or spread after previous treatment (metastatic). The investigational drug in this study is lenvatinib. The study will also use lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, which is also experimental. The purposes of this study are to: test the safety of the study drugs, lenvatinib alone, pembro and lenvatinib together, and standard chemotherapies alone in the treatment of HNSCC; see how well the combination of pembro and lenvatinib works, compared to standard chemotherapies; and see if participants who get pembro and lenvatinib live longer than those who are treated with standard chemotherapies. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 48 months.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced or resistant skin cancer (melanoma), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain types of solid tumors, or bladder cancer (UBC). The investigational drug in this study is RP1. RP1 is a herpes simplex virus (a microscopic life form commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been genetically changed to grow in and destroy cancer cells. This treatment will be injected directly into tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and how well RP1 works when it is injected into certain types of solid tumors in combination with another cancer drug, called nivolumab. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 to 3 years.

Summary

This Phase II clinical research study evaluates both the safety and effectiveness of an FDA-regulated medication presently in the initial stages of development for alcohol use disorder treatment (GET73), and will test whether GET73 alters brain chemicals and function, response to alcohol ingestion, and the desire for alcohol. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two medication treatment groups (GET73 or placebo). Study medication will be taken for 8 days, with approximately 4 study visits, and a "bar-lab" procedure and 2 MRI brain imaging scans will be completed. Questionnaires and clinical interview measures will be completed at study visits along with consistent assessment of potential side effects from study medication.

MPFC Theta Burst Stimulation as a Treatment Tool for Alcohol Use Disorder: Effects on Drinking and Incentive Salience

Researcher
Lisa McTeague

List of Studies


Keywords
Alcohol, Brain, Drug Studies, Psychiatry, Substance Use
Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), specifically TMS at a frequency known as theta burst stimulation (TBS), to see how it affects the brain and changes the brain's response to alcohol-related pictures. TMS and TBS are stimulation techniques that use magnetic pulses to temporarily excite specific brain areas in awake people (without the need for surgery, anesthetic, or other invasive procedures). TBS, which is a form of TMS, will be applied over the medial prefrontal cortex, (MPFC), which has been shown to be involved with drinking patterns and alcohol consumption. This study will test whether TBS can be used as an alternative tool to reduce the desire to use alcohol and reducing the brain's response to alcohol-related pictures.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).The investigational drug used in this study is CLN-081.

This study has 3 parts; Phase 1 Dose Escalation, Phase 1 Dose Expansion, and Phase 2a Dose Expansion:
-Phase 1 Dose Escalation: The main aim of this part of the study is to find a maximum tolerated dose for CLN-081. This will be done by slowly increasing the dose given to each participant or to small groups of participants until certain adverse effects are seen. All participants will be closely monitored by the study doctor and team. When the maximum tolerated dose has been found, it will be used in the subsequent parts of the study.
-Phase 1 Dose Expansion: In this part of the study more participants will receive the maximum tolerated dose to confirm the safety of this dose of the study medicine and to explore different dosing schedules, for example, taking the study medicine once a day versus twice a day.
-Phase 2a Dose Expansion: The main aim of this part of the study will be to see how well the study medicine works in reducing tumor size.

Participants can expect to be on this study for about 3 years.
