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.

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see how effective the use of copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is in imaging prostate cancer tumors for staging of men with newly diagnosed intermediate or high risk prostate cancer who are planned to have radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. Three hundred twenty-three (323) patients are planned for enrollment in this Phase 3 study, at approximately 60 sites in the U.S. and Europe. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is an investigational imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, that may make tumors from prostate cancer show up better during a nuclear medicine imaging scan. The imaging scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive drug and a special camera to create pictures of your tumor(s). Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is investigational in the United States which means that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved it.

Researcher
Nicholas Amoroso

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

You are invited to volunteer in this clinical research study because you have been diagnosed with tricuspid valve regurgitation.

The type of research study you are being asked to join is called an Early Feasibility Study. This means the device and procedure you are receiving (the treatment) have not been previously studied in humans, and that you will be among the first patients in the world to undergo this treatment. The Device you are receiving is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and its safety and effectiveness are unknown.

Participants will undergo right heart catheterizations, computed tomography (CT) scans without iodinated contrast, multiple ultrasounds of the heart, labs, and other assessments. The length of subject participation in the study is 5 years and includes 11 research visits. You will have a screening right heart catheterization (RHC) to check the pressures and function of your heart. The research procedure and placement of the TRIcares Topaz Transfemoral Tricuspid heart Valve (Topaz Tricuspid Valve) will be placed in a hybrid operating room. This procedure is done by entering a vein in your groin known as the femoral vein. The purpose of this device is to eliminate the regurgitation or leaking in the tricuspid valve of the heart to help reduce the symptoms caused by this leaky valve.

The most common risks associated with the research procedure are those related to the right heart catheterization (RHC) and Topaz Tricuspid valve procedure. Major risks include bleeding and damage to the heart or surrounding blood vessels. There are no known benefits of the research device. There may be possible benefits from the research procedure including improvement in quality of life or a decrease in the symptoms caused by tricuspid regurgitation. The information that we obtain from your participation in this study will help us learn more about how safe and effective this approach is in treating the symptoms of individuals similar to yourself.

Keywords
Autoimmune disease, Drug Studies, Lupus
Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if an investigational product (a substance not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration) made from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and taken as a single subcutaneous injection, is safe and well tolerated in individuals with active lupus while also receiving standard of care treatment for their lupus.

The MSCs used in this trial are cells that were obtained from the umbilical cords of healthy donors having an elective Caesarean section and who have been screened to be sure that they are free of any infectious diseases.

Participation in the study will take about 9 visits and 2 telephone calls over a period of 7 months. With participation, compensation is available.

At study visits you will have blood and urine labs collected, physical exam/lupus specific assessments, and be asked to complete a questionnaire. These procedures are much like those completed at your routine standard of care visits with your rheumatologist.

The risks to study participation are that only a few hundred people worldwide have been treated with MSCs. So far, there have been no serious side effects when MSCs have been used. Potential risks could however include an allergic reaction to the cells, development of infection, or MSCs changing into cancer cells.

Prior to any use of the MSC injection, participants will have a thorough review of the study and given an opportunity to consider their options and have all questions/concerns answered. A screening visit will be completed to ensure that participation is appropriate - participant safety is a priority of the study.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of acoramidis (AG-10) and determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant that can cause ATTR-CM. The sponsor (Eidos) is conducting a research study to see if the study medicine will help in slowing the development and/or progression of a rare disease called Symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). 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 and is considered experimental. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. AG-10 has been shown to reduce the level of TTR in the blood of animals and healthy volunteers tested to date. 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.

If you meet the requirements and agree to participate in this study, you will go through a 2 part screening period and if approved you will begin treatment. You will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to drug or placebo and take two pills once every day for 60 months.
Your participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of clinic visits and follow up visits at home via the telephone. Some tests requires of you will include an echo, ECG, cardioradionuclide scans (scans that use radioactive agents to look at images of the heart like a PET scan), MRIs, blood tests, nerve conduction test, urine samples, and skin biopsies.

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether FINErenone reduces total (first and future) Heart Failure events and cardiovascular death compared with placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated Heart Failure with Mid-Range Ejection Fraction and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF. The study will also look at information obtained from the tests performed as part of the study to see if subjects have improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Participation in this study will last approximately 36 months. During the study period subjects will be asked to attend regular study visits with the research coordinator. These visits will include such activities such as vitals, blood tests and questionnaires. There will be 8 visits as part of participation in this clinical trial. Participants will be randomized to either the treatment group (and receive the medication) or the control group (and not receive the medication). Subjects will have a 50:50 chance of receiving the study medication during their participation in the trial. The treatment assignment is determined by randomization, where a computer selects at random which treatment group you will be in (like flipping a coin). Neither the subject, nor the blinded personnel will know which group subjects are in. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will decide what group subjects are assigned.
