Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with carcinoma in situ of the bladder (localized bladder cancer, also called "non-muscle invasive bladder cancer") with or without Ta-T1 papillary disease (Ta means that the cancer is only in the innermost layer of the bladder lining, T1 means that the cancer has started to grow into the connective tissue beneath the bladder lining). The investigational drug used in this study is ONCOFID-P-B. The main purpose of this study is to understand if the study medicine ONCOFID-P-B is effective and safe in treating patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder who have not received benefit from the standard BCG treatment and are not candidates for radical cystectomy. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 4 years and will include a screening period of up to 4 weeks followed by up to 33 study visits to the study site.

Summary

The ECHO Cohort is a longitudinal prospective multi-site study aiming to understand how the environment and things that happen early in children's lives - even before they are born - affect their development, health, and well-being. This research program includes many study sites across the United States. ECHO will combine information about 20,000 pregnant participants, more than 50,000 children, and their families. With so many participants from across the country, researchers can answer important childhood health questions.

Summary

The goal of this study proposal is to develop a biorepository which will collect and store central nervous system (CNS) tissue, connective tissue, blood, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) for future research. This material will be collected from children with CNS conditions or defects. This will be a very useful resource to scientists who work to develop new approaches to prevent and treat conditions that affect children's brains and nervous systems.

Keywords

Summary

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical
study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 vs placebo in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). a screening period of up to 28 days, 100 participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 (25 participants per dose level) or matching placebo (25 participants). Enrollment will be stratified by current use of nintedanib. The assigned study drug will be self-administered orally in tablet form twice daily (BID) with a glass of water after a meal. Once randomized, each participant will maintain their current standard of care supportive medications, including cough treatment, medications for symptom relief or quality of life improvements, oxygen therapy where indicated, respiratory physiotherapy, and treatment of comorbidities. Following randomization, all participants will enter the 12-week, double-blind treatment period.

Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn if a program for newborn mom's can improve detection of complications after delivery and help women get medical care quickly and easily. Participants will be asked to complete a survey at the time of enrollment and at 4 additional times. All surveys can be completed via cell-phone or email. All women will be followed for 1-year after delivery. Women that enroll will be assigned to one of two groups: usual in person care OR usual in-person care PLUS a text message-based program that will ask about sign and symptoms of complications that may occur after delivery. If there is a concern, a care coordinator will call on the phone to discuss options and help refer to care if needed. Participants will be paid for their time in completing surveys.

A Phase 1 Study of Inhaled KB408 for the Treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Date Added
November 14th, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00132499
Researcher
Charlie Strange

List of Studies


Keywords
Genetics, Lung, Pulmonary, Shortness of Breath
Summary

This study is designed to learn about the safety and effectiveness of a new gene therapy called KB408 for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.
KB408 delivers copies of the genes that produce AAT to the lungs and is given by inhaling a mist (called nebulization). The genes are carried and delivered by a modified herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This virus is not harmful and simply acts as a vehicle to deliver the genes to the lungs. The genes that are delivered by KB408 do not change a person's own DNA. This is an open-label study, meaning that the participants, the study doctor, and the sponsor all know that the participants are receiving KB408. KB408 is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved for commercial use by the FDA.
Eligible participants will receive one of three doses of KB408. Participants will have a screening visit first to make sure that they are able to participate in the study. After the screening visit, participants will need to return to the study center for follow up visits. The number of follow up visits depends on which cohort the subject is enrolled in. At the second visit, participants will receive the study drug. In Cohort 2b, subjects will have repeat dosing. Each visit will take between 2 and 8 hours to complete. Study procedures include medical history collection, vitals, physical exam, ECG, spirometry and DLCO, urine cotinine test, blood work, cheek swab, sputum sample, and bronchoscopy.
Possible side effects of KB408 include temporary increases in certain cell types in the lungs and temporary increases in the breathing rate after dosing. Since this is the first time that KB408 has been given to humans, it is possible that participants may have an immune reaction to the study drug. There is also a risk with genetic testing and a risk to confidentiality. Participants may not receive any personal benefit from being in this study. There is no guarantee that the Study Drug will help. The information that is collected from the study may help other people in the future.

Double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing Suvorexant 20 mg to placebo for treatment of insomnia in cancer survivors

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00130637
Researcher
Sarah Marrison

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer/Breast
Summary

The proposed research study evaluates the potential of an oral FDA-approved medication, suvorexant, as compared with a placebo control to improve symptoms of sleep disturbance and insomnia in breast cancer survivors currently on hormonal based therapies. Eligible participants will randomly be selected to receive either the suvorexant or a placebo control for a duration of 4 Weeks. Participation in the study will include a screening process for eligibility including information on medical history and surveys regarding symptoms at the start of the study and additionally at 2 and 4 weeks. Potential benefits include improved sleep for individuals randomized to the study medication and potential study risks include loss of confidentiality of health information and a risk of sedation and complex sleep behaviors associated with the medication, suvorexant.
