This study is testing a new medicine called Visugromab (CTL-002) to see if it helps people with a type of lung cancer called metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Everyone in the study will get standard cancer treatment, but some will also get Visugromab while others get a placebo (a look-alike with no active drug), and who gets what is decided randomly—like flipping a coin. The goal is to find out if Visugromab makes the treatment more effective and safe. The study will last up to two years, with Treatment in cycles lasting 3 weeks, about once a month. Researchers will closely monitor participants to see how well the treatment works and how their bodies respond. Serious risks of treatment may include heart problems, low oxygen levels, infections, organ failure, and inflammation in various parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, intestines, pancreas, and thyroid.
The purpose of the study is to learn more about an experimental drug called ORC-13661 that may be helpful in treating hearing loss due to antibiotic use. The study is researching whether the drug is safe and tolerable, and trying to find out whether the drug may be able to mitigate or prevent hearing loss in patients being treated with intravenous (IV) amikacin. Participation in the study will consist of up to 10 visits over up to 129 days. The Day 1 visit (following the screening visit) will last up to 8 hours, while other visits will last up to 5 hours Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ORC-13661at a higher dose or a lower dose or a placebo (a pill that looks the same as the study drug but has no real medicine in it), for up to 90 days to be taken along with IV amikacin. Participants will be asked to have a number of tests and procedures, which include questionnaires about family, medical, and hearing history, physical and hearing examination, and assessments of hearing.
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.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how the oral microbiome (bacteria in the mouth) may be associated with different neurologic conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. This will require one visit, typically less than an hour. We will collect some information about the subject's past medical history including dental history as well as collect saliva and perform a nasal swab. This will also include a measure of genetics. There will be an optional blood collection. Samples will also be stored for future research.
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase IIIb study comparing remibrutinib tablets with dupilumab injections in adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) that is not well controlled by second-generation H1-antihistamines. Participants will receive either remibrutinib or dupilumab for 12 weeks, alongside their usual antihistamine. The goal is to see which treatment works faster and better at reducing symptoms like hives and itching. If remibrutinib is not yet available commercially after the study, participants may continue taking it in an optional extension phase.
This study is a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled research study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a skin patch treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 1 to 3. The patch delivers a very small amount of peanut protein through the skin and is designed to help the immune system become less sensitive to peanuts over time.
Participation in the study will last approximately 34 weeks. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time.
This study is for male subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 12years or longer. There will be a total of 6 subjects locally enrolled. Subjects may experience the following risks: Bladder or prostate capsule perforation, Bladder neck contracture, Bleeding or blood in the urine, Bruising, Cancer progression, Electric shock/burn, Embolism, Incontinence or overactive bladder, and Infection.
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.
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.
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.
