The goal of this study is to understand how positive and negative social experiences affect epigenetic marks and gene function, and thereby influence lupus in African American women. This study requires one study visit to answer a few questionnaires and donate a blood sample. We are looking for volunteers with and without lupus to participate. Compensation is available.
This study is for patients who have advanced cancers, such as head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and others. This study is testing a new treatment for these types of cancer. The new test drug is called BCA101. Pembrolizumab is an approved drug by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the diseases described in this study and will be used as approved. The type of cancer a patient has will determine whether he/she will get BCA101 alone or BCA101 in combination with pembrolizumab. Participants will receive either BCA101 alone, BCA101 in combination with pembrolizumab or BCA101 and enforafenib, depending on your cancer until the cancer gets worse, they experience bad side effects, or until they withdraw consent, or until the Investigator considers it is in his/her best interest to discontinue the study drug.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has gotten worse or come back after treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Loncastuximab Tesirine. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine combined with rituximab compared to standard immunochemotherapy. The subject may remain in the study for up to 5 years, 28 days for screening period, a 16-25 week treatment period, and a follow-up period of 4 years.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed (came back) and/or refractory (not responding to treatment) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). The investigational product is Lisocabtagene Maraleucel and is administered by infusion. Participants will have had the blood collection (leukapheresis - a laboratory procedure where white blood cells are separated from a sample of blood) procedure, where the T cells (white blood cells) were collected and genetically modified in a laboratory in order to manufacture the lisocabtagene maraleucel T cells for disease treatment. The lisocabtagene maraleucel T cells that were produced do not meet all of the prespecified release criteria to be used as a routine prescription drug as required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is called a nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel. The purpose of this study is to allow participants to be treated with their nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel. Participants can expect to be on the study for up to 3 months following the infusion of nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel.
This study is for children and adults that have been diagnosed with a disease that is associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection.The investigational treatment in this study is called tabelecleucel (also known as ATA129), this treatment is given in the vein. Participants will receive tabelecleucel on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 of every 35-day (5-week) period, the number of cycles depends on the response to treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of tabelecleucel and to assess the effects of tabelecleucel on EBV disease. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 years for an estimated 17-20 study visits.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with a relapsed, progressive and/or refractory subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma or follicular lymphoma). The investigational drug that will be tested is called GEN3013 (DuoBody®-CD3xCD20). The purpose of the trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of GEN3013 in subjects with different subtypes of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (referred to as B-cell NHL). Participants can expect to be in this study for 36 weeks of treatment, plus follow up until the disease progresses.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer that spread to sites distant from the head and neck region (metastatic) or for cancer that returned or got worse after being treated (recurrent), and test positive for High-risk Human Papillomavirus-16 (HPV16) Infection.
The investigational vaccine in this study is called PDS0101. "Investigational" means the study vaccine being tested has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of this research is to find out if the combination of the investigational vaccine, given by subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and the standard of care, Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), given by IV, are effective and safe. The PDS0101 vaccine designed to boost the body's immune response against HPV 16.Participants can expect to receive treatment for about 2 years. Each person who agrees to take part in the study will be asked to come in for a minimum of 18 cycles and a maximum of 35 cycles.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has returned (recurrent) or spread after previous treatment (metastatic). The investigational drug in this study is lenvatinib. The study will also use lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, which is also experimental. The purposes of this study are to: test the safety of the study drugs, lenvatinib alone, pembro and lenvatinib together, and standard chemotherapies alone in the treatment of HNSCC; see how well the combination of pembro and lenvatinib works, compared to standard chemotherapies; and see if participants who get pembro and lenvatinib live longer than those who are treated with standard chemotherapies. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 48 months.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with a respiratory viral infection, like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, human metapneumovirus, and/or parainfluenza virus, after a hematopoietic cell transplant. The investigational drug in this study is ALVR106. The purpose of this study is to determine if ALVR106 is safe and to determine the best dose (amount) for treating respiratory infections. Participants can expect to be in this study for approximately 1 year.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced or resistant skin cancer (melanoma), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain types of solid tumors, or bladder cancer (UBC). The investigational drug in this study is RP1. RP1 is a herpes simplex virus (a microscopic life form commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been genetically changed to grow in and destroy cancer cells. This treatment will be injected directly into tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and how well RP1 works when it is injected into certain types of solid tumors in combination with another cancer drug, called nivolumab. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 to 3 years.
