INDUCTION STUDY #1 - A PHASE 3, MULTICENTER, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY OF ORAL OZANIMOD AS INDUCTION THERAPY FOR MODERATELY TO SEVERELY ACTIVE CROHN'S DISEASE

List of Studies


Keywords
Crohn's Disease
Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether Ozanimod is safe and effective for treating Crohn's disease. Participants who are aged 18 to 75 years with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease may be eligible.

To do this, a comparison will be made between subjects who receive active drug and subjects who receive placebo (a ‘dummy treatment' that looks like the active drug but contains no active ingredient). The chance of being randomized (like drawing names out of a hat) into ozanimod group and receiving ozanimod is 67%. The chance of being randomized into placebo group and receiving placebo is 33%.

This study is designed to last up to 30 weeks, including 2 screening visits, 4 study visits, and 2 follow-up visits. The study drug may improve participant's Crohn's disease condition, but this cannot be guaranteed.

A Phase 2, randomized, open-label three-arm clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus standard of care chemotherapy and lenvatinib monotherapy in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) that have progressed after platinum therapy and immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) (LEAP-009)

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has returned (recurrent) or spread after previous treatment (metastatic). The investigational drug in this study is lenvatinib. The study will also use lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, which is also experimental. The purposes of this study are to: test the safety of the study drugs, lenvatinib alone, pembro and lenvatinib together, and standard chemotherapies alone in the treatment of HNSCC; see how well the combination of pembro and lenvatinib works, compared to standard chemotherapies; and see if participants who get pembro and lenvatinib live longer than those who are treated with standard chemotherapies. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 48 months.

Modeling and Modulating Mechanisms of Escape, Avoidance, and Approach in the Anxiety Disorder Spectrum

Date Added
February 2nd, 2021
PRO Number
Pro00106843
Researcher
Christopher Sege

List of Studies


Keywords
Anxiety, Brain
Summary

This is a study to find out if a device that temporarily alters brain activity (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rTMS) might be used to change how people with anxiety or related concerns cope with emotional situations. The study is recruiting people who recently started treatment for anxiety or a related concern. The study involves 3 visits to MUSC. At the first visit, participants do interviews and surveys asking about anxiety and related concerns, and they also do tasks where they see and react to emotional pictures while their brain activation is measured. At the next two visits, participants receive rTMS that uses a magnet placed on top of the head to alter brain activity temporarily (for about an hour). After rTMS, participants do two tasks where they see and react to emotional situations while wearing sensors on their hand, arms, face, and head.

Each visit in this study is expected to last between 2 – 3 hours. This study is not a treatment study, but it could help improve treatment in the future. Participants in this study are paid for their time.

If participants' Crohn's disease condition get worse during the study, they will be invited to participate the open-label study, which has no placebo.

This is a one-year study, and participants are expected to come to MUSC every 8 weeks for study visits.

A Phase II Randomized Trial of Adjuvant Therapy With Pembrolizumab After Resection of Recurrent/Second Primary Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma With High Risk Features

Researcher

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Head & Neck
Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent or new head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Patients either have had a recurrence (the tumor has comeback) or a new head and neck cancer in a different area of the head and neck (second primary) which has been removed by surgery. The study drug used is called pembrolizumab. The purpose of this study is to see if adding pembrolizumab to radiation or if using pembrolizumab by itself after surgery compared to the usual approaches with chemotherapy and radiation will increase life expectancy. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 12 months and then followed for 5 years.
