Summary

Study JZQB is a global research effort investigating a potential treatment for lung cancer. The study involves patients with a specific type of lung cancer that has certain genetic features. Researchers aim to compare the effectiveness of a new drug, LY3537982, when used in combination with pembrolizumab, against a placebo combined with pembrolizumab. The goal is to understand how well the new drug combination works in preventing the cancer from returning and whether it improves patients' overall quality of life. The study is carefully designed to align with real-world medical practices and will evaluate different doses of the new drug. It emphasizes safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes to provide valuable insights for future lung cancer treatments.

Keywords

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma.
This study is testing an investigational drug(s) called Epcoritamab that is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of the study drug epcoritamab with rituximab and lenalidomide has a better response rate than standard of care chemoimmunotherapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The total study treatment duration is up to 2.5 years. You may stop the study treatment early if you do not respond after 6 months, your disease worsens, you no longer tolerate the study drug(s), or you withdraw from the study.

Once you finish the study treatment or discontinued study treatment early, you will continue to the Post-Study Treatment Follow Up Period, you will come back to the study clinic every 6 months for the first 3 years and then yearly to have imaging scans and blood work to check if your disease is in remission or worsen.

If your disease worsens or if you start a new FL treatment, you will enter the Long-term Follow Up Period, you will be called by telephone or your health record will be reviewed to check on your well-being and to see what your next treatment plan will be. This follow-up may last up to 15 years.

RELIANCE: A phase 1, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, trial evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of Imatinib for the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAMP-2 Trial)

Researcher
Charlie Strange

List of Studies


Keywords
Kidney, Lung, Pulmonary, Rare Diseases, Women's Health
Summary

The purpose of this medical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new medication called imatinib mesylate in the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM is a rare disease in which abnormal cells (called LAM cells) grow out of control. Over time, LAM cells destroy healthy lung tissue and cause respiratory disease or failure.

Many patients with LAM are currently treated with a medication called sirolimus (rapamycin). Sirolimus slows the growth of LAM cells.

Imatinib mesylate (hereafter called imatinib) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of some cancers that share common pathways with LAM cells. Laboratory studies suggest that imatinib could completely block the growth of LAM cells through initiation of targeted cell death.

An important purpose of this research is to determine the safety of imatinib in people with LAM. This study will also evaluate the short-term effectiveness of imatinib. Participants will be randomized to receiving imatinib (study medication) or placebo (no treatment) for the 180 day duration of participation. The study is being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina and at Columbia University in New York (CUMC). Each site will enroll 10 participants.

A Phase 2 Study of Alisertib in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

PRO Number

Christopher Rangel

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

In this study, researchers are testing a drug called Alisertib in people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread extensively. These patients have already undergone the first round of treatment, but unfortunately, their cancer has started growing again. The drug alisertib works by targeting certain molecules involved in cell division, which are often overactive in cancer cells.

Patients will take alisertib as pills twice a day for a week, followed by a break. To manage side effects, they'll also receive another medication to support their blood cell production. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor how much alisertib is in the patients' blood and how they're responding to treatment.

The study will continue until patients either see their cancer progress, experience intolerable side effects, or decide to leave the study. Even if the cancer spreads to the brain during the study, patients might still be able to continue treatment if it's deemed helpful by their doctor. This research hopes to find out if alisertib can offer a new option for people whose lung cancer has come back after initial treatment.

Summary

This phase III study is for participants with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is negative for a type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). If decided to participate in this study, participants will be receive either ficlatuzumab in combination with cetuximab, or placebo in combination with cetuximab. There are 3 Arms participants will be randomly assigned to: Arm 1 will receive ficlatuzumab (10mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion) and cetuximab (by IV infusion), Arm 2 will be given ficlatuzumab (20mg/kg by IV infusion) and cetuximab, and Arm 3 will receive placebo and cetuximab. The effectiveness of the 2 different ficlatuzumab groups (Arm 1 and Arm 2) will be compared at the first on-study scan, and the more successful Arm will began enroll more participants. This study is estimated to last approximately 5 years. Study drugs will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or until the Sponsor terminates the study (whichever comes first). The main risk associate with the trial are swelling of your lower legs or arms, fatigue, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bone pain, decreased appetite, anemia, high level of liver enzymes in your blood, dizziness, infusion reactions, cardiopulmonary arrest, pulmonary (lung) toxicity, skin reactions, inflammation of the mouth, low blood counts, liver problems, infection, headache, allergic reactions, and there may be unknown risks. This treatment can not guarantee the cancer will get better, since it may stay the same or get worse. What is discovered from this study may help other people in the future. The alternative to this study is not participating in this study and receiving HNSCC in patients who have previously received immunotherapy including chemotherapy with other treatment drugs or another clinical trial.

A Follow-Up, Open-Label, Research Evaluation of Sustained Treatment with Aficamten (CK-3773274) in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

PRO Number
Pro00137149
Researcher

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, which can sometimes block the blood flow out of the heart and results in the heart muscle working harder to pump blood to the body. Participants who have completed participation in a previous HCM study investigating the study drug, called aficamten (CK-3773274), will be eligible to participate in this study.

The study is done to collect long-term safety and tolerability data, including assessments of cardiac structure and function during chronic dosing with aficamten. Aficamten is a tablet taken by mouth. This is an open label study (the participants and study team will know the dose of aficamten taken at any given time). If your screening results show you are eligible to continue in the study, you will visit the research site for the "first dosing day" (Day 1), followed by visits at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 12, then every 12 weeks thereafter. Study related procedures include blood work, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), electrocardiogram (recording of heart's electrical activity), physical exams, and questionnaires. Risks associated with this study include shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness.
