This is a research study to find out if Qutenza 8% capsaicin topical system is safe and effective when treating subjects with lower back pain (LBP) that is caused by damage at or near the nerve's root in the lower back leg (lumbosacral radiculopathy) which is pain that can move all the way down the back of the leg. The pain may also start outside of the spinal cord, in the peripheral nerves and may also be felt all the way down the back of the leg (neuropathic LBP). Qutenza 8% capsaicin, the study drug, is currently FDA approved to treat nerve pain after a shingles outbreak in addition to a type of nerve pain in the feet associated with diabetes. In this study a maximum of four patches per visit (sized 14cm x 20 cm) will be used to deliver the Qutenza 8% capsaicin to your skin.
If a subject meets the qualifications for this study, in addition to their standard of care for their LBP, they will be treated with Qutenza 8% capsaicin topical system and can expect to have a total of 5 visits in a 12 month period. Each visit will require subjects to fill out several surveys and receive treatment patches for their LBP (your doctor will decide if you will need to be retreated at each visit based on your symptoms). This is an open-label study and all participants will receive Qutenza 8% capsaicin topical system. The study visits are estimated to take 90 minutes upwards to 120 minutes.
This study is enrolling subjects with an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT - rapid heart beat coming from the bottom of the heart) that has come back despite treatment. This is a randomized study meaning subjects will be assigned to one of two groups and then undergo either a standard catheter ablation or a new treatment called cardiac radioablation for their VT. You will have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group. A standard catheter ablation is done by placing catheters (long hollow tubes) into a large blood vessel at the top of the leg, guiding them to the heart to first identify the signals causing the VT and then use radiofrequency (heat) energy to burn and stop these signals to stop the VT. The cardiac radioablation is an investigational treatment meaning it is not yet approved for routine clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cardiac radioablation is performed in the radiation oncology department and uses radiation therapy to treat the signals causing the VT. Participation in this study will last up to 5 years and inlcude about 15 visits. Study related procedures include medical record review and data collection, electrocardiogram (tracing of heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart), CT scans, blood work, questionnaires, implantable cardioverter defibrillation (ICD - device implanted in your chest that monitors and treats abnormal heart rhythms), and ablation procedure per randomization. Risks include fatigue, changes in the appearance of the lungs in the cardiac radioablation group, fatigue, pain, low or high blood pressure or excessive bruising or bleeding at the catheter insertion side in the cardiac ablation arm. There are also study procedure related risks, and risks that are not known. There is potential benefit to you and to others in learning how to better treat others in the future with this condition.
In this study, researchers are testing a drug called Alisertib in people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread extensively. These patients have already undergone the first round of treatment, but unfortunately, their cancer has started growing again. The drug alisertib works by targeting certain molecules involved in cell division, which are often overactive in cancer cells.
Patients will take alisertib as pills twice a day for a week, followed by a break. To manage side effects, they'll also receive another medication to support their blood cell production. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor how much alisertib is in the patients' blood and how they're responding to treatment.
The study will continue until patients either see their cancer progress, experience intolerable side effects, or decide to leave the study. Even if the cancer spreads to the brain during the study, patients might still be able to continue treatment if it's deemed helpful by their doctor. This research hopes to find out if alisertib can offer a new option for people whose lung cancer has come back after initial treatment.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma.
This study is testing an investigational drug(s) called Epcoritamab that is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of the study drug epcoritamab with rituximab and lenalidomide has a better response rate than standard of care chemoimmunotherapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The total study treatment duration is up to 2.5 years. You may stop the study treatment early if you do not respond after 6 months, your disease worsens, you no longer tolerate the study drug(s), or you withdraw from the study.
Once you finish the study treatment or discontinued study treatment early, you will continue to the Post-Study Treatment Follow Up Period, you will come back to the study clinic every 6 months for the first 3 years and then yearly to have imaging scans and blood work to check if your disease is in remission or worsen.
If your disease worsens or if you start a new FL treatment, you will enter the Long-term Follow Up Period, you will be called by telephone or your health record will be reviewed to check on your well-being and to see what your next treatment plan will be. This follow-up may last up to 15 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug ZILRETTA (Triamcinolone Acetonide, extended release) compared to a placebo (saline solution) and the current treatment of TCA-IR (Triamcinolone Acetonide, immediate release). The study drug is administered through an ultrasound-guided injection to the affected shoulder. Forty percent of subjects will receive Zilretta, forty percent will receive TCA-IR and twenty percent will receive placebo.
The study Drug ZILRETTA, is currently FDA-approved for knee osteoarthritis and is being investigated in this study for treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis. The study population consists of adults 50-85 years of age, BMI under 40, who have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis of the shoulder by x-ray and has had pain for over 15 days out of the past month. The study has 10 study visits over 24-week's and will include, but is not limited to a questionnaire, medical examination, shoulder x-ray and blood draws. Each visit should last less than 1 hour, depending on the procedures performed. The most common side effects of the study drug are joint pain, headaches, upper respiratory infections, back pain, joint swelling, and cold symptoms.
This research study is testing a new treatment plan for patients with a type of lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The study focuses on patients who have not had complete success with initial treatments before surgery. The treatment plan includes a combination of chemotherapy and a drug called pembrolizumab before surgery, followed by surgery to remove the cancer, and then more pembrolizumab with or without another drug called MK-2870 after surgery.
The goal is to see if adding MK-2870 can help improve the chances of recovery and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients who didn't respond fully to the initial treatment. This study aims to find better ways to treat lung cancer and improve the survival rates of these patients.
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tepotinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called MET. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal MET protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Giving tepotinib with ramucirumab may lower the chance of the cancer from growing or spreading in patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of ABBV-383 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. ABBV-383 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study is broken into 2 Arms; Arm A (Parts 1 and 2) and Arm B. Arm A includes 2 parts: step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 (Dose A) will be used followed by the target dose A of ABBV-383. In Arm B a flat dose of ABBV-383 will be tested. Around 120 adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites across the world. Participants will receive ABBV-383 as an infusion into the vein in 28 day cycles for approximately 3 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
This study aims to develop a new blood test to detect and identify many different types of cancer, using a special technique that looks at tiny changes in your DNA. Some participants will be followed over time to see if this method can also find leftover cancer cells (after treatment), and if it could warn if the cancer comes back. However, this test still under development, so there are no results reported back to participants. The goal is to create a reliable tool that one day could help doctors diagnose and monitor cancer(s) more effectively.
