Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about long-term safety (good or bad effects) of avacopan and its efficacy (how well it is working) in treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.

Avacopan is currently approved as an adjunctive (another treatment used along with primary treatment) treatment in adult people with severe active ANCA-associated vasculitis in the US and is also approved in the EU, Canada, Japan, and other countries.

In this study, avacopan will be compared with a placebo (a drug that looks likes the study medication but does not contain any medication). This is a randomized study, meaning that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) into a treatment group. You will have an equal chance of being placed in either of the 3 following groups: treatment with avacopan for 5 years in group A, or treatment with avacopan for 1 year followed by placebo for 4 years in group B, or treatment with placebo for 5 years in group C. The study is also a double-blinded study, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the avacopan or placebo.

The study is sponsored by Amgen, Inc. Participation in the study will require 27 visits to the MUSC main campus over approximately 63 months, and visits will include the following procedures: blood draw, urine collection, physician-led assessments of your disease (for example physical exam and medical history review), and health questionnaires. You will also be provided with a paper diary to record any missed doses/overdoses of the study drug.

Compensation is available for participation.

Summary

This study is for patients with invasive breast cancer among premenopausal, early-stage breast cancer with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 and 0-25. The study is being done to determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) among premenopausal patients. The drug being used in this study are aromatase inhibitors. Patients will expect to remain in the study for up to 5years.

Summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational, efficacy and safety study of subjects with PPF (Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis) treated with inhaled treprostinil over a 52-week period. This study is investigating whether a drug called inhaled treprostinil (brand name Tyvaso®) works to help people with PPF improve their lung function tests. The purpose of this research study is to see how well inhaled treprostinil works in participants with PPF and to gather information on how safe it is. This study will look at changes in your breathing tests, also called lung function tests. About 698 people will participate in this study from about 150 medical centers. Your participation in this study is voluntary and will last approximately 58 weeks. This time includes a Screening Period that could last up to approximately 6 weeks plus a 52-week Treatment Period.

An Open-label, Multicenter Study of ZL-1310 to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Subjects with Small Cell Lung Cancer

Researcher
Mariam Alexander

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

ZL-1310 is a new experimental treatment designed to tackle small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that specifically targets a protein called delta-like protein 3 (DLL3), found in high amounts in SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumors. The study aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and other characteristics of ZL-1310 in patients with SCLC that has relapsed or is resistant to platinum-based treatments. Previous attempts to target DLL3 faced challenges, and ZL-1310 seeks to overcome these issues, providing a potential breakthrough in treating SCLC, where current options are limited, and relapse rates are high. The study hopes to shed light on ZL-1310's potential as a novel and more effective therapy for patients facing few alternatives and poor prognoses.

Summary

This study will evaluate possible new treatments for advanced stage head and neck cancer. Patients who have undergone surgery to remove their tumor may qualify if the tissue is positive for a specific type of squamous cell cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard treatment, radiation therapy along with chemotherapy with a drug called cisplatin, to two other treatments. One experimental treatment is radiation therapy along with two chemotherapy agents, docetaxel and cetuximab, and the other experimental treatment is the standard treatment currently used along with the addition of an immunotherapy drug atezolizumab. Patients who qualify for participation will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups (done with a computerized system). In the current standard treatment group, participants will receive radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks, and cisplatin once a week through a vein for the 6-week treatment period. The group receiving doxetaxel and cetuximab (both FDA approved medications for the treatment of certain cancers) will receive the same 6 weeks of radiation along with cetuximab through a vein 1 week prior to the start of radiation therapy, and then once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation and the doxetaxel will also be given through a vein once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation therapy. The final group will get the current standard treatment with 6 weeks of radiation and 6 weeks of cisplatin, along with atezolizumab through a vein 1 week prior to your starting radiation and then every 3 weeks for a total of 8 doses, There will be twice as many patients in this last group than the other two groups.

Follow-up will be at Month 1 & 3 and then every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 more years, and then annually for as long as a participant is willing and able. There will be blood tests and CT scans that will occur throughout the study, however they are standard for the type of cancer being treated and how each individual responds to the treatment. The benefit of participation is there may be improved outcomes in this group of patients however the risks involved with receiving new treatments may be more than with the usual standard treatment. Some of the most common side effects that the study doctors know about are infection, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, tiredness, kidney problems, numbness/tingling in hands and feet. There may be some risks that the study doctors are not aware of at the moment. There will be a total of up to 480 participants across all sites and approximately 24 participants at MUSC.
