Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) in people with certain types of breast cancer who will have surgery to remove their breast cancer. This trial will compare two treatment plans that patients will receive before their surgery. One of these treatment plans will involve patients receiving Sac-TMT and pembrolizumab (pembro), followed by chemotherapy and pembro. Patients enrolled in the other treatment plan will receive chemotherapy and pembro. Patients will be given the drug intravenously (a needle in a vein). Patients may experience a decrease in white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells (anemia). Patients are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 30 months or longer. There will be a total of 12 patients locally enrolled.

Movement Disorders
Summary

Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes muscles to contract and/or spasm. This may be painful and can affect the person's ability to complete daily tasks. Dystonia may affect one or multiple parts of the body. Botulinum toxins (BoNT) are the only approved drug in the United States to treat dystonia, and this is only for dystonia of the neck or the eye. There are currently no approved oral treatments for dystonia. Most current treatments only provide relief of symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of the research drug (VIM0423), to find the best dose for treating dystonia, and to see how safe VIM0423 is for patients with dystonia.
This research study is studying VIM0423 as a possible treatment for dystonia. It is being developed to be a combination dose of: VMA-1001 given with VMA-1002.
• VMA-1001 and VMA-1002 will be taken in separate oral doses at the same time.
• VMA-1001 is an extended release (ER) modified version of trihexyphenidyl (THP).
• VMA-1002 is a formulation of bethanechol (BTC).
THP and BTC are medicines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); however, the Sponsor is investigating a different formulation of THP referred to as VMA-1001 and a different formulation of BTC referred to as VMA-1002. The purpose is to attempt to minimize some side effects of THP and is therefore considered an investigational drug in this study. An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA.
You may be in this study for up to 32 weeks from the time you consent until the last study visit.
You will be seen at the study site 6 times (Screening, Day 1, Day 30, Day 60, Day 95, and Day 125) and will complete 4 telephone calls (Day 6, Day 13, Day 20 and Day 105). You may be asked to come for extra visits at any time during the study if the study doctor decides that extra tests are needed for your safety.
Side effects associated with the study drug are dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, dizziness, mild nausea and feeling nervous.
You do not need to take part in this study to receive treatment for your isolated dystonia. The study doctor will explain other options that are available to you. Your other choices may include treatment with other medicines for isolated dystonia, another investigational treatment, treatment that makes you feel more comfortable but will not have an effect on your isolated dystonia, or no treatment.

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Drug Studies
Summary

This research study is testing how well a combination of investigational drugs—N-803 and Tislelizumab with Docetaxel—works compared to Docetaxel alone in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The drugs being studied are not yet approved by the FDA. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (like flipping a coin): the experimental group (receiving the drug combination) or the control group (receiving Docetaxel alone). For every 3 people, 2 will be randomized to the experimental group. You are being asked to join because your cancer has progressed after standard treatment and has become resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Clinic visits will last about 3 to 4 hours and include routine tests and procedures. Treatment will continue until your cancer worsens, you experience severe side effects, choose to stop, or your doctor decides it's best to end treatment. After treatment ends, you'll have a follow-up visit and then be contacted every 3 months for up to 36 months to check on your health, either in person or via telemedicine. N-803 may cause side effects such as fever, high blood pressure, fatigue, itching, diarrhea, nausea, injection site reactions.

List of Studies


Keywords
Pediatrics, Skin
Summary

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare, inherited skin condition that makes the skin extremely fragile, causing painful blisters and wounds from even minor friction or injury. There is currently no cure, and because EB is uncommon, doctors still have limited high-quality data to guide the best treatment and long-term care. This study is part of a large North American effort to collect and organize health information from people with EB into a secure database. By tracking how the disease progresses over time, along with symptoms, complications, and treatments, researchers hope to better understand EB and improve care for future patients. Participation involves consenting to share medical record information and optionally completing brief questionnaires during routine clinic visits or by email. No experimental treatments or extra medical procedures are involved. While there is no direct benefit to participants, the knowledge gained may help improve care and support the development of new treatments in the future.

Summary

This is an open-label pilot study firstly assessing safety and feasibility of a form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular neuromodulation, or tAN, in women with postpartum depression (PPD). Secondly, we will be assessing the impact of at-home tAN on mood, empathy, and physiological markers of sympathetic activity in women with PPD. Participants will learn how to self-administer ear stimulation treatments in the lab before starting the at-home study. Over the course of one week, participants will self-administer ear stimulation treatments three times a day. Each treatment will last up to 60 minutes (1 hour) and there will be a break of at least 30 minutes in between treatments. The study team will ask participants to complete a group of questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study, as well as undergo heart rate variability (HRV) assessments and provide salivary samples. There will also be a smaller number of questionnaires completed electronically at the midpoint of the study. The questionnaires will ask questions about mental health symptoms that subjects may or may not be experiencing, including questions about mood, anxiety, and feelings towards their newborn.

Summary

This research study will evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of APG777 in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who have already completed treatment in a previous APG777 study. The study is multicenter and double-blind, and participants will continue with the same dose and injection schedule as in their prior study. The study includes three periods: a screening visit, an extended treatment period of about 92 weeks, and a post-treatment follow-up of up to 52 weeks. Patients who met certain improvement criteria in the previous study will continue their maintenance regimen, while others will enter an open-label Escape Arm with a different dosing schedule. The study aims to determine whether long-term use of APG777 is safe and effective for patients who may benefit from continued treatment.
