A randomized trial of low versus moderate exposure busulfan for infants with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted transplantation: A Phase II study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) and Pediatric Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC) PIDTC "CSIDE" Protocol (Conditioning SCID Infants Diagnosed Early) PTCTC NMD 1801

Summary

This study is for children age 0-2 who have been diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). In this study, participants will be randomized (select by chance) into groups that will decide the dose of chemotherapy they will receive, receive chemotherapy prior to a blood stem cell transplant, and have blood drawn for research tests. The purpose of this research study is to find out if lower doses of a chemotherapy drug called busulfan before stem cell transplant can help patients with SCID, and to see if the device the CliniMACS® is effective in preparing donor stem cells before the transplant. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 3 years.

List of Studies


Keywords
Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

The PHAR is a multicenter, prospective registry of newly evaluated patients at PHCCs in the United States who have either PAH or CTEPH. Baseline information will be collected at the time of initial evaluation at the PHCC (within six months of the initial outpatient PHCC visit) with follow-up data collected at approximately 6-month intervals. This study will determine how patients with PH are evaluated, tested, and treated, and will observe how well patients do. The goal of the project is to see if patients with PH are treated according to recommended guidelines and to see if there are certain factors which lead to better or worse outcomes in patients with PH. There is no intervention or study medication used and there is no limitation to how a patient is treated in this study.

SUPERIOR VENA CAVAL OCCLUSION IN SUBJECTS WITH ACUTE DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE - AN EARLY FEASIBILITY STUDY

Researcher
Ryan Tedford

Keywords
Cardiovascular
Summary

This study is an early feasibility study which typically consist of evaluating innovative devices or innovative uses of approved devices. The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational device called preCARDIA Intermittent Balloon Device can limit fluid overload in congested patients with advanced heart failure. This investigational device is a catheter which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to occlude large vessels but not for the treatment of advanced heart failure. Currently, there are no device-based approaches that are FDA-approved for advanced heart failure. This study will help find out if this device-based approach can improve symptoms and heart function in congested patients with advanced heart failure

Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 200 participants to receive N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or placebo for a 24 month duration. The purpose of this study is to see if n-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have a specific gene type and to see if NAC is safe to take without causing too many side effects.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).The investigational drug used in this study is CLN-081.

This study has 3 parts; Phase 1 Dose Escalation, Phase 1 Dose Expansion, and Phase 2a Dose Expansion:
-Phase 1 Dose Escalation: The main aim of this part of the study is to find a maximum tolerated dose for CLN-081. This will be done by slowly increasing the dose given to each participant or to small groups of participants until certain adverse effects are seen. All participants will be closely monitored by the study doctor and team. When the maximum tolerated dose has been found, it will be used in the subsequent parts of the study.
-Phase 1 Dose Expansion: In this part of the study more participants will receive the maximum tolerated dose to confirm the safety of this dose of the study medicine and to explore different dosing schedules, for example, taking the study medicine once a day versus twice a day.
-Phase 2a Dose Expansion: The main aim of this part of the study will be to see how well the study medicine works in reducing tumor size.

Participants can expect to be on this study for about 3 years.

MPFC Theta Burst Stimulation as a Treatment Tool for Alcohol Use Disorder: Effects on Drinking and Incentive Salience

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00102709
Researcher
Lisa McTeague

List of Studies


Keywords
Alcohol, Brain, Drug Studies, Psychiatry, Substance Use
Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), specifically TMS at a frequency known as theta burst stimulation (TBS), to see how it affects the brain and changes the brain's response to alcohol-related pictures. TMS and TBS are stimulation techniques that use magnetic pulses to temporarily excite specific brain areas in awake people (without the need for surgery, anesthetic, or other invasive procedures). TBS, which is a form of TMS, will be applied over the medial prefrontal cortex, (MPFC), which has been shown to be involved with drinking patterns and alcohol consumption. This study will test whether TBS can be used as an alternative tool to reduce the desire to use alcohol and reducing the brain's response to alcohol-related pictures.

Summary

This study is for men with penile cancer. The sponsor wants to see if they can improve the treatment of patients with penis cancer that has spread. The purpose of this study is to test treatments which might reduce the chances of the cancer coming back. Combinations of four different treatments are being studied:
• Surgery to remove the lymph nodes in the groin near to where the cancer first appeared.
• Chemotherapy followed by surgery.
• Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy followed by surgery.
• Surgery to remove the lymph nodes in the groin and also lymph nodes further away from where the cancer first appeared (deeper in the pelvis).

Summary

This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with BRAF v600-Mutant High-Grade Glioma (HGG). The overall goal of this study is to see if using two drugs called dabrafenib and trametinib after radiation treatment will be better than treatments used in the past in helping to get rid of or shrink HGG. The treatment involves cancer fighting medicines plus radiation. The treatment on this study takes a little over 2 years. It is divided into 2 phases of therapy.

Pro00096494
Researcher
Heather Henderson

List of Studies


Keywords

Summary

The Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) is a distributed network-based learning health system (LHS) of care centers, clinicians, researchers and industry representatives partnering with patients who have heart failure and their caregivers with the ultimate aim of achieving health, longevity and quality of life equivalent to the general population. See https://www.actionlearningnetwork.org for more information. The initial focus will be to apply structured quality improvement methods, advanced information technology systems, and sharing of best practices to track and continuously improve health-related outcomes for children with heart failure requiring advanced therapies. In the future, we plan to collaborate with other established registries and learning network (i.e. UNOS, PHTS and Cardiac Networks United) to create an integrated network that improves care throughout all phases of a patient's illness including chronic heart failure, acute decompensated heart failure, ventricular assist device support and transplant.
