Summary

This study is for subjects with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has gotten worse or come back after two or more treatments. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved drug) study drug called loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402). Treatment will be administered intravenously or via tablet depending on the subject's assigned treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether the investigational drug combination of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with one of four other anti-cancer agents is a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Treatment will be assigned by a system in a sequence unless the subject has received the combination drug (the drug that is not locastuximab). This means the first enrolled subject will be assigned to arm C, the second to arm E, and so on. The subject will be seen approximately once a week during treatment, and may remain in the study for up to 3 years.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Sea-CD70. This study will find out if the drug is safe and tolerable, and find out the maximum tolerated dose (highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects) or recommended dose for the next phase of clinical study. The subject will be given the study drug in 28 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, ECG (electrocardiogram), or a bone marrow exam. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 3 years.

Assessment of Potential Biomarkers of Seizure Susceptibility Using Novel NextSense EEG Earbuds

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Epilepsy
Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand whether there may be certain characteristics or patterns that might predict seizure events in patients undergoing EEG monitoring and at home. Researchers will also be assessing the comfort and usability of a new device called NextSense EEG earbud device at the same time as routine inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) admissions, as well as device use in the home environment. In order to enroll in the at-home extension, the participant must be enrolled in the inpatient EMU admission portion of the study. Participants will be asked to assess their mood, sleep quality, and the comfort and usability of the device during their inpatient admission at regular intervals. If participating in the at-home extension, these same assessment questionnaires, in addition to a seizure diary, will be completed by participants at regular intervals.

Summary

Sensory stimulation has been shown to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. However, most sensory stimulation devices interfere with natural hand tasks. Thus, a new wearable stimulation device has been developed to deliver imperceptible vibration to wrist skin. This study is to evaluate the community use of the device for patients with neurologic movement disorders. Participation will include wearing the provided device and charging the device every night. The knowledge regarding community use of the device may contribute to improving the device functionality and usability for future users of the device.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been newly diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)) combination of the drug zanubrutinib (BRUKINSAâ„¢) and a standard chemotherapy treatment called R-CHOP. This study will test the how well the drug combination works and how safe it is. The subject will be given the study drug combination in 21 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, bone marrow biopsies, and imaging scans. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 2 years.

A Phase 2/3 Adaptive, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of VX-147 in Adult and Pediatric Subjects with APOL1-mediated Proteinuric Kidney Disease

List of Studies


Keywords
Drug Studies, Genetics, Kidney, Minorities, Rare Diseases
Summary

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 adaptive study involves an initial investigational blood test to determine if you have a specific variation related to kidney disease. The investigational blood test is to see if you have changes in your DNA of a gene called APOL1. People who have this gene variation may be at risk of losing their kidney function faster than others. If you have the variants (changes in DNA) you may be eligible to continue participation in the study. If you do not have the variants, you will not be eligible, and the study doctor will discuss your other options with you. If you decide to participate, there will be no cost to you and you will be compensated. This study will start by comparing two doses of VX-147 against placebo in subjects with APOL1-mediated kidney disease for 12 weeks. Subjects in Phase 2 will continue to Phase 3 once a dose for Phase 3 is selected. Then the Phase 3 dose of VX-147 will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. If you meet the requirements and choose to take part in the study, you will be randomly assigned to a treatment group. You will not know which study treatment group you are assigned to and it is possible that you will receive placebo instead of VX-147. The study includes a screening, treatment, and follow-up period. The study will end after the last patient enrolled has completed 2 years in the study. This means some patients enrolling earlier could be in the study for up to 4 years.

T-reg function changes: a novel immune regulatory effect underlying benefit of statin use on lethal prostate cancer

PRO Number
Pro00120567
Researcher
Michael Marrone

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies, Men's Health, Prostate
Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that can be removed by surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a group of drugs called statins can help to reduce the risk of prostate cancer returning after surgery. The drug used in this study is a particular type of statin called simvastatin. Simvastatin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help lower cholesterol (fatty deposits in your blood) and decrease the risk of heart disease. Its use in this research study is considered investigational, and not FDA approved for the subject's cancer. Subjects can expect to be in the active participation portion of this study for about 3 months. Afterwards, the study team may contact them or their medical providers every 6 months to follow their cancer care and collect information on their current health status.

Combining noninvasive brain stimulation and functional neuroimaging in patients with stroke

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00120319
Researcher
Nathan Rowland

List of Studies


Keywords
Rehabilitation Studies, Stroke, Stroke Recovery
Summary

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can be an effective therapy for stroke recovery patients. However, the extent to which patients show improvements with tDCS is highly variable. This variability may arise due to the differences of stroke location in the brain and because of differences in brain damage, all of which may differ between patients. If the relationship between these factors and tDCS efficacy were known, recovery from stroke using tDCS might become more predictable. Our overall objective is to understand potential measures of tDCS efficacy that may someday allow for optimization of clinical outcomes and patient care.
