Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is testing an investigational drug called Amivantamab. "Investigational" means that is not been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There will be no randomization in this study. Participants will be assigned to treatment upon enrollment based on disease treatment status. The primary purpose of this study is to understand how well the study treatment works and the safety of the combination of Amivantamab and Lazertinib in participants who have NSCLC with a specific eGFR mutation. Amivantamab can be given under the skin (subcutaneous) or by infusion (IV). Participants can be in the study for up to 36 months depending on how the participants disease responds to treatment.

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study Assessing Olpasiran Use to Prevent First Major Cardiovascular Events in Participants with Elevated Lipoprotein(a)

Keywords
Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling participants with risk factors for heart or blood vessel events (e.g. heart attack, stroke, etc) who also have an elevated lipoprotein a (Lp(a)), which is a sticky particle in the blood that carries cholesterol. The first part of the study involves testing the Lp(a) level and if elevated then participants will be invited to be a part of a study testing the investigational medication olpasiran. Investigational means it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. The study medication is given as a shot just under the skin every 3 months. This study is a randomized study meaning participants are assigned by chance to either receive olpasiran or placebo. Placebo looks like the real medication but has no active ingredients. Participants have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group but will not know which group they are in. Study related procedures include physical exams, blood work, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG - a tracing of the heart's electrical activity) and study medication administration. This study is expected to last about three and a half to five and a half years and involve between 16 to 28 visits.

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension Study of Acoramidis in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ACT-EARLY OLE)

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is an open label extension of the ACT-EARLY study. which included those with no evidence of ATTR but are known carriers of disease causing TTR gene. ATTR stands for transthyretin amyloidosis. It is a condition in which a protein called transthyretin (TTR) accumulates in various organs, including the heart (known as ATTR-CM), kidneys, and nerves (known as ATTR-PN). This accumulation can lead to damage and dysfunction in these organs.

This study will continue using the study drug acoramidis (AG-10) to determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant slow the progression of ATTR. AG-10 is an investigational drug. Investigational means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.

Participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of about 13 clinic visits and about 11 telephone follow up visits. Some tests required include physical exams, medical and surgical history, bloodwork, questionnaire, electrocardiogram (test that records your heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of your heart) and study drug administration.

Randomized Phase III Trial of Pembrolizumab vs. Pembrolizumab/Cetuximab in Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Platinum Refractory Disease

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether adding cetuximab to standard of care (pembrolizumab) is more effective in shrinking tumor size and increasing survival when compared to being treated with pembrolizumab alone. This study seeks to find if this approach is the same, better, or worse than standard of care for returning or spreading head and neck cancer after previous treatment.

Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include blood tests, CT or MRI scans, and chemotherapy. Risks include tiredness, anemia, constipation, loss of appetite, joint stiffness, cough, swelling and redness of the skin.

You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future. Both drugs, pembrolizumab and cetuximab, are already individually approved by the FDA for use in head and neck cancers. However, the benefit of combining the two drugs is being investigated in this study and this study approach is not FDA approved.

There will be about 158 people taking part in this study, approximately 4 subjects will be enrolled at MUSC.

TRITON-CM: A Phase 3 Global, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Nucresiran in Patients with Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy (ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy)

Summary

This study is enrolling participants with symptomatic ATTR-CM (transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy). ATTR-CM is a rare and serious disease that occurs when a protein in the blood called transthyretin (TTR) builds up throughout the body, including in the heart and nerves. When the abnormal protein, known as amyloid, deposits in the heart, the heart muscle thickens and stiffens, causing the heart to fail. This research study is designed to test whether the medication nucresiran is safe and helps people with ATTR-CM, in comparison to the effects of placebo.

Nucresiran is considered investigational, meaning it is not currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ATTR-CM. Nucresiran is a TTR silencer. It is like a "quiet button" that turns down the amount of the disease-causing protein that is made. Because there is less TTR, there may be less buildup in the heart and other organs over time.

This is a randomized study meaning once eligibility is confirmed, participants will be assigned by chance, like drawing straws, to either receive nucresiran or placebo. You will have a 2 out of 3 chance of being assigned to nucresiran and a 1 out of 3 chance of being assigned placebo. Placebo is a substance that looks like the actual medication and is given the same way but contains no active substance. The study drug, which can be either nucresiran or placebo, will be given as an injection under the skin in the abdomen (avoiding the area around the navel), thigh, or the side or back of the upper arms. Neither the participants nor the study doctor will know who is assigned to nucresiran or placebo but this information can be made available if need be.

Participation in this study is expected to last for 5-8 years, Study related procedures include physical exams, vital signs, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), electrocardiograms, (ECG, a tracing of the heart's electrical activity), blood work, urine samples and questionnaires. Participants will also take Vitamin A daily. Study related risks include risks related to the study drug including injection site reactions, abnormal liver function or an allergic reaction. There may be risks related to study procedures including loss of confidentiality. There may not be any direct benefit, but the information learned may benefit others with ATTR-CM in the future.
