Summary

This study is examining the use, safety and performance of an investigational, meaning not approved for commercial use or sale by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) device called Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR). The TMVR is a device used to treat mitral valve disease in patients with heart failure (weakened heart muscle). The device is placed by a non surgical approach using a delivery catheter (hollow tube) placed in your blood vessel at the top of your leg and directed up to your heart. This five year study will include a screening process to determine you meet eligibility criteria. If you qualify you will then be seen for a baseline visit, undergo the procedure to place the device, day after procedure, at hospital discharge, 1,3,6, 12 months, then yearly for up to 5 years. Study related testing includes physical exams, medication review, 6 minute hall walk test, questionnaires, blood work, CT scans, electrocardiogram or ECG (recording of your heart's electrical activity) and echocardiogram (ultrasound test of your heart).

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational drug product, IBI-10090 (DEXYCU), in children to treat eye inflammation (redness) caused by cataract surgery. DEXYCU was approved by the FDA in February 2018 for use in adults, however; has not yet been approved for use in children. The active ingredient in DEXYCU is dexamethasone. Instead of being an eye drop containing dexamethasone, DEXYCU remains in the eye as a tiny droplet and slowly releases dexamethasone over a period of approximately two to three weeks. After that time the droplet is absorbed by the body. Subjects 0 to 3 years of age who are undergoing cataract surgery will be eligible for this study. The study starts at screening visit which is 3-29 days before surgery. Any study-related procedures will be performed only after obtaining informed consent. Child will be in the study for about 90 days after signing informed consent. Enrollment in this study requires a total of 8 visits. If child is eligible he/she will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to either study group DEXYCU or control group, prednisolone acetate. Child will have study visits 1 day following cataract surgery, and then at approximately 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. All visits are standard of care visits for all cataract surgery patients except 2 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery visits.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Sea-CD70. This study will find out if the drug is safe and tolerable, and find out the maximum tolerated dose (highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects) or recommended dose for the next phase of clinical study. The subject will be given the study drug in 28 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, ECG (electrocardiogram), or a bone marrow exam. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 3 years.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed (the disease has gotten worse after a period of improvement) or refractory (the disease does not respond to treatment) Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) lymphomas.

The investigational drug in this study is Nanatinostat. Investigational means it is not approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Nanatinostat is a tablet that will be taken by mouth once a day.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the combination therapy, nanatinostat and valganciclovir, on treating lymphoma cancers. Valganciclovir is an approved anti-viral drug (a drug that fights against virus in your body), which has been used in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by a virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is similar to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The safety and effectiveness of nanatinostat on its own will also be reviewed in a small subset of patients.

Participants can expect to receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity/ side effects, or participants withdraw. Participants can expect to be in follow up for up to 5 years.

Summary

This study is for participants that have been diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of using an investigational agent called DFMO for Medulloblastoma. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study will look at the ability of this study drug to either keep participants tumor in remission or if they have active tumor, for their tumor to respond to the treatment and will also look at the safety and tolerability of DFMO. After this first day participants will be seen in clinic once every 30 days for the first 6 months of the study, after that they will be seen once every 90 days for the remainder of the study. These visits will last about 2 hours.

Keywords
Transplant
Summary

This is a research study to find out if a study drug called EDIT-301 is safe and effective in treatment of patients with severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The EDIT-301 study medicine is a new investigational therapy, which in this case means this is first-in-human use of this study drug. This study medication uses patients' own stem cells, modifies the cells with genetic modification, and transplants them back to the patient (by infusion) to treat SCD.
Participation in this study is expected to last approximately 30 months, including time for screening, collection of cells, transplant, and a 24 month follow-up period after transplant. At the end of that 24 month follow-up, the participant will be asked to participate in an additional long-term follow-up study, totaling 15 years of post-transplant follow-up.

Researcher
Erin Martin

List of Studies

Keywords
Depression, Substance Use
Summary

Both withdrawal symptoms and external stressors can contribute to relapse in people that are trying to quit using marijuana. These negative feelings may be more severe in people that also have Major Depressive Disorder, making it especially hard for them to quit. The purpose of this study is to examine differences in withdrawal symptoms and stress response in people with Cannabis Use Disorder that do or do not also have major depression. Study participation will involve 3 on-site laboratory visits over 6 days. Participants will be asked to not use marijuana for 3 of those days. Participants will complete mobile phone surveys multiple times each day, wear a watch to assess sleep quality, and provide blood samples for testing at each laboratory visit. At the final laboratory visit, participants will complete a stress task.

Keywords
Physical Therapy
Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a combination of art therapy (AT) and physical therapy (PT) to PT only in children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Each child will receive daily AT and PT or only PT for 5 days per week for 2 weeks. These sessions will begin approximately on day 15 following the transplant. Prior to starting the sessions and following 2-weeks of sessions, we will measure your self-care and mobility skills. During each session, heart rate variability (i.e., time between heart beats) using a small monitor on the chest (about the size of a quarter), walking distance using an accelerometer (similar to wearing a watch), and self-reported happiness and excitability will be measured. Although results cannot be guaranteed, it is expected each group will benefit and demonstrate improvements in emotional state, self-care, and mobility skills.

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of isotretinoin ointment (TMB-001 0.05%) in treating subjects > or = to 6 years of age with lamellar ichthyosis, and aims to assess the bodily absorption of the cream across application frequencies. Subjects with ARCI/RXLI will be randomized 2:1, to either receive the TMB-001 0.05% isotretinoin ointment or a vehicle ointment - applied daily - for 3 weeks. Subsequently, dosing will be increased to twice daily for 9 weeks. If significant improvement is observed at the end of the 9 weeks, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive the TMB-001 0.05% ointment, either applied daily or twice-daily, for 12 weeks. Prior to the Phase III trial, subjects will have the option to participate in a 14 day treatment period with TMB-001 0.05% - twice daily - followed by continued treatment with TMB-001 0.05% twice daily for 10 weeks.
