The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) for locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with oncogene amplifications to determine if any of these study treatments improve overall survival as compared to standard treatments.
The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BBI-355. This is the first study to test the study medicine BBI-355 in humans; BBI-355 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include taking study drug orally, blood and urine samples, diary entries, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness, and headaches. 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.
This is a is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and clinical activity of SNDX-5613 in combination with intensive chemotherapy in participants with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemias harboring alterations in KMT2A, NPM1, or NUP98 genes. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of SNDX-5613 (Revumenib) to be used in both a combination with intensive chemotherapy and alone. SNDX-5613 (Revumenib) is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment. The study will enroll approximately 76 patients in 3 phases with each receiving cycles of chemotherapy followed by SNDX-5613 in the Induction and Consolidation phases followed by SNDX-5613 alone in the Maintenance Monotherapy phase if eligible. The study includes screening, treatment, safety follow-up, and survival follow-up periods over the course of 18 months. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit in participating in this study.
While cigarette smoking is detrimental to health and a known risk factor for cancer, e-cigarettes are thought to be less harmful but not entirely risk-free, and less is known about e-cigarette use and changes to health. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate changes in health that may occur when people stop using e-cigarettes. Participants who use e-cigarettes (and who never smoked, smoked in the past, or currently smoke) will be recruited to participate in a laboratory session followed by a week of abstaining from any nicotine use. Throughout the study, participants will provide biological samples for analysis of DNA damage, immune functioning, inflammation, and respiratory functioning at the MUSC Charleston campus. Results will provide insight into the health benefits of quitting vaping.
This study will assess an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) called Aticaprant. Adults with MDD that are currently on an antidepressant but continue to experience prominent anhedonia may qualify.
This study is designed to learn more about how nivolumab and ipilimumab, with or without cabozantinib effects the growth and spreading of head and neck cancer. 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 receive the combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab for up to 2 years, or the two immunotherapy drugs with an additional targeted drug, cabozantinib, for up to 2 years unless your cancer gets worse or the side effects of the treatment become too severe. In the follow up period the side effects will be observed by the study team every 3 to 4 months for 2 years after treatment. The most common risks and discomforts expected in this study are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste or voice, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, and high blood pressure which may cause blurred vision. 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 this combination treatment works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.
