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.

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer). The treatment drugs being utilized are sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda). The main purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab can improve outcomes and delay the return of disease in subjects with high-risk early TNBC. Subjects can expect to be in this study for up to 18 months.

Summary

They study is for patients that have have been diagnosed with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer (PRROC) which includes fallopian tube cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis (a form of cancer that affects the thin membrane that surrounds your abdominal organs). The investigational drug used in this study is Olvi-Vec. The main purpose of the study is to determine how women diagnosed with PRROC will best respond to receiving Olvi-Vec followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy (platinum-based chemotherapy such as carboplatin or cisplatin are given with a non-platinum based chemotherapy, including gemcitabine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD]) along with bevacizumab, known as the Experimental Arm. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 36 months.

Summary

This project is being conducted in subjects that have been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are candidates to receive treatment with single agent azacitidine based on local country approvals and/or local The study is designed to move efficiently from Phase 1 to Phase 3. This study is testing investigational drug called ASTX030. Investigational means that it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it is undergoing testing to find out if it is safe and effective. ASTX030 is a combination of two medicines, azacitidine and cedazuridine, given by mouth. The primary purpose is to test the levels of the investigational drug ASTX030 in your blood, including if food has an effect (Phase 1B only), the safety and tolerability of the drugs, and how subjects respond to the drug. The subject may remain in the study about 3 years. If you benefit from treatment, you may receive study drugs as long as you continue to benefit. If you develop side effects to the study drugs that prevent you from continuing treatment, or if your study doctor believes it is in your best interest to stop the study drug(s), you may be asked to stop the study treatment. After you stop treatment, the Sponsor will continue to collect health information to evaluate long-term effects of the study drugs.

Summary

This study compares the effectiveness of in-person versus virtual delivery of an evidence-based intervention to reduce rates of postpartum emergency department visits. The purpose of the study is to learn if a program for newborn mom's can improve detection of complications after delivery and help women get medical care quickly and easily. Participants will be asked to complete a survey at the time of enrollment and at 4 additional times. All surveys can be completed via cell-phone or email. All women will be followed for 1-year after delivery. Women that enroll will be assigned to one of two groups: usual in person care OR usual in-person care PLUS a text message-based program that will ask about sign and symptoms of complications that may occur after delivery. If there is a concern, a care coordinator will call on the phone to discuss options and help refer to care if needed. Participants will be paid for their time in completing surveys.
