Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive, HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BCA101. This is a phase 2 study; BCA101 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, mouth sore, nose bleed, headache, and skin rash. 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.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with heart failure (HF, meaning a weak heart) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50% and with an abnormal heart beat can benefit from having pacemaker leads placed in a different location in the heart. We know that people with a weak heart and an abnormal heart beat can benefit from having a pacemaker. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of two treatments (A or B), both of which are standard of care heart pacing treatments:
A. Pacing the heart from two locations in the left ventricle (lower left chamber of the heart)
B. Pacing the heart from one of two other places in the heart (the "His" or the left bundle branch)

The purpose of this study is to compare side by side these two treatments and evaluate if one is better than the other.

A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Petosemtamab Compared with Investigators Choice Monotherapy Treatment in Previously Treated Patients with Incurable, Metastatic/Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Summary

This study is designed to learn more about the effects of Petosemtamab, an investigational drug not FDA approved, compared to standard of care treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has been previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receiving petosemtamab or one of the three standard of care choices. In the follow up period the side effects after completion of petosemtamab administration or assigned standard of care treatment will be evaluated. Also, approximately every 12 weeks after study treatment stopped, either petosemtamab or assigned standard of care, participants will receive a phone call for long term follow-up for up to 1.5 years. Participation in this study may last up to two years. The participants will complete questionnaires to evaluate the differences in the quality of life for participants that received petosemtamab versus standard of care treatment. Some serious risk related to this study are infusion related reactions, rash and diarrhea. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well Petosemtamab works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.

Summary

This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced therapy is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, compared to medication monitoring. Participants are randomized to one of the conditions. Participants randomized to receive the therapy will attend four 60-minute therapy appointments during pregnancy with an additional 30-minute therapy session towards the end of pregnancy, and 6 additional monthly postpartum (after childbirth) sessions (0-6 months postpartum). As part of the therapy program, participants will receive access to a mobile application, which will be accessible for the duration of the study. Participants randomized to medication monitoring will be asked to log each time the medication is taken for a two month period. All participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment and again at 3-month postpartum and 6-months postpartum, and will be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count. The total duration of the study is between 8-12 months depending on when enrollment occurs (early second trimester-mid third trimester). Compensation up to $310 is provided.

Summary

This study is enrolling participants with heart disease or at high risk of developing heart disease who are already taking a cholesterol lowering medication referred to as a statin. This study is specifically seeking participants who are historically underrepresented in cardiovascular clinical trials including females, and racial/ethnic minorities, as well as those living in rural areas. This study involves the medication inclisiran which is an approved medication to help lower "bad" cholesterol. In this study participants will be randomized meaning assigned by chance to receive inclisiran along with usual care or not receive inclisiran and will continue usual care for the first 360 days. You will have a 50:50 chance, like flipping a coin, to receive inclisiran. Those participants who are randomized to not receive inclisiran initially will then receive it after day 360 and continue in the study for another 360 days so up to day 720. Participation will take up to 7 study visits.

Study related procedures include collecting medical history, demographics, questionnaires and blood work, as well as receive inclisiran as a shot just under the skin every 4 months. Study related risks include injection site reactions, joint pain or stiffness, bronchitis or an allergic reaction. There is also a risk of loss of confidentiality.

Summary

BRCA1 mutations are errors in genes that can be inherited and may predispose you to ovarian cancer. This study is for women who have a BRCA1 mutation and have elected to undergo a surgical intervention. Surgical intervention is to compare the non-inferiority of bilateral salpingectomy (BLS) with delayed oophorectomy to bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer among individuals with deleterious BRCA1 germline mutations.

Summary

Researchers are investigating a new way to treat a type of lung cancer called small-cell lung cancer, which is very aggressive and often doesn't respond well to treatment. They're studying a drug called Tarlatamab, which targets a specific protein found on the cancer cells. This drug has already shown some promise when used alone, but now they're testing whether it works even better when combined with another type of cancer treatment called anti-PD-L1 therapy. This combination treatment might help the body's immune system fight the cancer more effectively. The hope is that by using these two treatments together, they can improve outcomes for people with small-cell lung cancer and give them a better chance of survival.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma that has spread and has not responded to treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called glofitamab. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of glofitamab (experimental arm) versus bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) or rituximab plus lenalidomide (R-Len;the control arm) on subjects with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Your total time in the study and the number of assessments in the follow up visits, will depend on how your MCL responds to study treatment. This could range from 1 day to more than 24 months. The screening period may last up to 28 days (4 weeks) and may involve more than one visit to the clinic.
