Summary

They study is for patients that have have been diagnosed with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer (PRROC) which includes fallopian tube cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis (a form of cancer that affects the thin membrane that surrounds your abdominal organs). The investigational drug used in this study is Olvi-Vec. The main purpose of the study is to determine how women diagnosed with PRROC will best respond to receiving Olvi-Vec followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy (platinum-based chemotherapy such as carboplatin or cisplatin are given with a non-platinum based chemotherapy, including gemcitabine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD]) along with bevacizumab, known as the Experimental Arm. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 36 months.

Summary

This study aims to investigate innovative approaches to managing chronic pain and opioid use. This study consists of two phases, each offering different treatment options. Participation is voluntary.

This study will sequentially evaluate three novel and scalable interventions for at-risk individuals on long term opioid therapy for chronic pain: (1) low-dose transdermal buprenorphine initiation without a period of opioid withdrawal; (2) a brief Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for pain (CBI); and (3) transcranial magnetic stimulation by examining standardized repeated measures of clinical outcomes at baseline, during treatment, and at follow-up.

Phase 1:
In this initial phase, all participants will have a 1-week open-label trial of buprenorphine (worn as a patch on the arm, shoulder or upper-back). This trial aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of buprenorphine in managing chronic pain and opioid use. During this phase, participants will have the opportunity to experience the effects of buprenorphine under close monitoring.

Phase 2:
After completing Phase 1, participants will have the opportunity to choose their next course of treatment. They can decide to continue with buprenorphine, and undergo a 1-week trial of either real buprenorphine or a placebo (an inactive substance). They will be randomly assigned to receive either real or placebo buprenorphine. If participants respond well to buprenorphine treatment, they may continue the medication under the care of their physician.

Alternatively, participants can explore an alternative treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in Phase 2. If they opt for rTMS, they will receive either real rTMS or a sham version interspersed with cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham rTMS.

In both phases, participants will receive close monitoring and attend regular study visits to assess safety and progress. Throughout the study, they will be asked to complete questionnaires about pain, functioning and opioid use, undergo physiological monitoring and blood samples will be collected at specific points.

It's important to note that there are potential risks associated with the study medication, such as difficulty sleeping, nausea, and dizziness. Additionally, for the rTMS arm, there is risk of mild headache, pain at the stimulation site, and there may be unknown risks related to the brain stimulation.

Participants' experience in Phase 1 will involve an open-label trial of buprenorphine, and participants' decisions in Phase 2 will determine the treatment path. While the effectiveness of these treatments is uncertain, participants will receive thorough monitoring throughout the study, and have the option to withdraw at any time. Improvement in participant symptoms is possible but not guaranteed.

RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF EFZOFITIMOD IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS RELATED INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE

PRO Number

Researcher
Richard Silver

List of Studies


Keywords
Drug Studies, Scleroderma
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.

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.

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.
