Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of modified surgical eyeglasses to view bevonescein intraoperatively and the safety of bevonescein as it shows nerve tissue in the body. Bevonescein is an investigational drug being developed to help doctors identify nerves within the body during surgery.
The drug is administered through a vein in the arm and into the blood stream.t Bevonescein then travels through the blood where it makes nerve tissue fluorescent so that it can then be detected by the modified surgical eyeglasses used in this study by a surgeon. This may help the surgeon (study doctor) to tell the difference between nerve tissue and other tissue during surgery. Bevonescein and the modified surgical eyeglasses that your surgeon will wear (ReVealTM 475) are considered investigational because they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help with the visualization of nerves during surgery Alternatives to this study can include to undergo surgery without the study drug.

The duration of this study is about 2 months. The procedures of this study include administration of the study drug once (500 mg), collection of blood and urine samples, and ECGs. Surgery will happened as planned by the study doctor but as part of the research, the surgeon will ear modified surgical eyeglasses to view nerves and may take pictures or video clips. The glasses are FDA cleared but the modified filter and its use in combination with bevonescein is considered experimental.

The most commonly expected risks of fluorescein are nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort. Because bevonescein is cleared through the urine, there may be a potential risk to the kidneys and renal (kidney) system. The most serious risks of fluorescein may include severe local tissue damage, anaphylaxis, convulsions, cardiac arrest, and death.

Summary

The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug in this study is ivonescimab (AK112). The study drug is an antibody, it blocks two proteins in the body that help cancer cells live, grow and spread. The study drug will be given in addition to pemetrexed and carboplatin. There are two groups that a participant may be assigned to, which group a subject is assigned on will be determined by type of cancer treatments that they have previously received. Treatment Group A will receive the study drug along with pemetrexed and carboplatin. Treatment Group B will receive placebo along with pemetrexed and carboplatin. The drugs will be given via an infusion. There is a 50% chance of being assigned to either group. Participation in the study will last about 36 months. The study consist of a screening visit, treatment visits, and a safety follow up visit.

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.

Summary

This is a clinical research study that is using an investigational product, 2X-121, as a possible treatment for diagnosed advanced solid tumors, both alone and in combination with another investigational product, dovitinib. Both drugs are taken orally and are also investigational, meaning that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not yet approved them as a treatment for any disease. The results of this study and previous studies will be used to design future studies to improve treatment of advanced solid tumors. This study will help determine the safety of 2X-121 and dovitinib. The study will help determine a safe and effective dose of 2X-121 alone and a safe and effective dose of dovitinib when given in combination with 2X-121. Subjects participating in this study will contribute to the development of a drug which has the potential to become a treatment option for them and others in the future. The expected duration of the study for participants is 24 months, this research study will involve two parts. Participants in Part 1 will be assigned to receive either 600 mg, 800 mg, or 1000 mg of 2X-121 daily for 28 days. Participants in Part 2 will be assigned to receive the chosen daily dose of 2X-121 as decided after Part 1, along with dovitinib at either a 300 mg, 400 mg, or 500 mg dose once daily for five days followed by 2 days without dovitinib. The 5 days on / 2 days off schedule will repeat for 28 days. Some reasonably foreseeable risks and discomforts include: Fatigue, Urine discoloration, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, rashes. It is hoped that the information gained from the study will help in the treatment of future patients with conditions like yours.

Summary

Patients greater than/equal to 18 years of age who are diagnosed with unilateral rotator cuff tendinopathy (with MRI confirmation) will be recruited. The purpose of the study is to measure the safety and efficacy of the drug secukinumab, 300mg s.c. (subcutaneous) compared to placebo. The use of secukinumab for the treatment of tendinopathy is investigational in this study, but FDA approved for other indications. The study will be a randomized, double-blind study. This means the participant, nor the researchers will know if the drug or placebo is administered. The treatment period will last 16 weeks, during which the patient will receive 7 doses of the study drug (2 injections per dose) over 12 weeks. Participants will continue follow-up until week 24. A total of 11 visits are required for the study, each will take approximately 3 hours to complete. These visits will be at the following timepoints: Screening visit, Baseline visit, and visits at weeks 1,2,3,4,8,12,16, 20, and the end of the study visit. The location of the injection will be the affected shoulder.

Risks include but are not limited to upper respiratory tract infections, with symptoms such as sore throat and stuffy nose. Common risks include Cold sores, Athletes foot, runny nose, diarrhea, itchy rash (urticaria). Rare and serious risks include Severe allergic reaction with shock (anaphylactic reactions). A blood draw may cause fainting, pain, and/or bruising, dizziness, and in rare cases, infection.

Researcher
Jason Newman

List of Studies

Keywords

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.

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Drug Studies
Summary

This study is enrolling participants with elevated lipoprotein (a) levels, a cholesterol like substance, to test an investigational study medication called olpasiran. Investigational means it has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial use but has been approved for use in this study. Olpasiran is a subcutaneous injection given every 12 weeks. This study is randomized, which means participants are randomly assigned, like the flip of a coin, to either receive olpasiran or placebo. Placebo looks like the study medication but has no active ingredients. Neither the participants nor the study doctor or study team will know if you are getting study medication or placebo. Participation in this study will last up to 4 1/2 years and include about 14-24 study visits. Study procedures include physical exams, medical history and medication review, electrocardiograms (tracing of the electrical activity of your heart), blood work, questionnaires and medication administration.
