Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with cancer in their arm, leg, or trunk (the part of the body that involves the chest, abdomen, and pelvis). The purpose of this research study is to preserve healthy tissue around the cancer on the arm(s) and/or leg(s) using Hypofractionated Radiotherapy, while treating the cancer and preventing it from spreading to other areas of the body. Participation in the study will take about 15 visits over a period of 15 months.

The Janus Rectal Cancer Trial: A Randomized Phase II Trial Testing the Efficacy of Triplet versus Doublet Chemotherapy to Achieve Clinical Complete Response in Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients with advanced rectal cancer. This study is being done to see if we can increase the clinical complete response rate (tumor disappears by exam, endoscopy, and imaging) by adding a 3rd drug (irinotecan) to the standard regimen of FOLFOX or CAPOX given following long-course chemoradiation.
We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your rectal cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for locally advanced rectal cancer.

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction and maintenance JNJ-78934804 therapy in participants with moderately to severely active CD who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to ≥1 approved ADT (advanced therapy inadequate responder [ADT-IR]). This
dose-ranging study includes participants 18 to 65 years of age (inclusive, at the time of consent) with moderately or severely active CD (defined by a CDAI score ≥220 and ≤450) and either a mean daily abdominal pain (AP) score ≥2 (based on the unweighted CDAI component of AP) or a mean daily stool frequency (SF) count ≥4 (based on the unweighted CDAI component of the number of liquid or very soft stools), of at least 3 months duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis previously confirmed in the past by radiology, histology and/or endoscopy. Participants must also have endoscopic evidence of active ileal
and/or colonic CD on the screening video ileocolonoscopy. Overall, the study will evaluate 48 weeks of therapy with JNJ-78934804

A Phase 1 Study of the SHP2 Inhibitor BBP-398 (formerly known as IACS-15509) in Combination with the Programmed Death Receptor-1 Blocking Antibody Nivolumab in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with a KRAS Mutation

Summary

This study is recruiting patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a KRAS mutation whose cancer has not responded to standard of care treatment. (All human cells have a gene called KRAS. If cells have a KRAS mutation, the cells may multiply out of control which can cause cancer.) This study has two parts. The first part of the study is being done to find the safety, tolerability and safe dose of a study drug called BBP-398 when it is used in combination with another drug that has already been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, called Nivolumab. The second part of the study is being done to further understand the how tumors are affected by the study drug, BBP-398, and Nivolumab. About 26 patients in the United States will participate in this study. You may be eligible if you have NSCLC with a KRAS mutation that has not responded to standard treatment. Patients who enroll in this study will be required to come to MUSC for study treatments and follow-up visits. The participation in the study can last up to 2 years with a follow up period of 3 years.

Impact of capturing ictal events with ultra-long-term ambulatory EEG monitoring with REMI.

List of Studies


Keywords
Epilepsy
Summary

This study is being done to understand whether a different type of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring that permits longer monitoring is able to capture more seizures than regular EEG monitoring, and whether this new type of monitoring will improve clinical care. This type of EEG monitoring (REMI) is currently cleared by the United States Government Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) for use in hospitals but not yet cleared to be used at home.
Eligible subjects who have EEG monitoring scheduled with either a 3-day EEG monitoring performed at home or with a 3-day EEG monitoring schedule at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Subjects are in the study for approximately 4 weeks and will need to come to the study center for one or two visits. They will be asked to wear 4 of Epitel's REMI Sensors on their head, in addition to the regular EEG electrodes, for two 2-week REMI EEG monitoring periods. A 2nd visit (clinic visit) at MUSC may be needed if the recording is at MUSC, in order to start the second REMI EEG monitoring session.
At the end of the study, three independent epileptologists will review the REMI EEG recordings and compile a report of any findings. They will then provide this report to the subject's neurologist who will assess the value of the additional EEG information, and save the report within the MUSC medical record.

Summary

This study is for patients that have Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), a form of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in which an artery (blood vessel) in their lower leg (calf) may have become blocked. This study involves the use of an investigational devices called a stent (a small mesh tube typically used to hold open blood vessels). The study device (stent) that will be used in this study is called the Bare Temporary Spur Stent System. It is intended to be used for treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI). The stent portion is made of nitinol, a metal commonly used in stents. It is unique from other similar approved devices, such as balloons and stents, because it consists of a delivery system that can deliver and re-capture the Bare Temporary Spur Stent and balloon, so that no metal is left behind in the body. The Bare Temporary Spur Stent has small spurs (spikes) on the outer surface of the stent, which pierce the inner lining of the artery. Together, the spurs and the stent may help to support the artery as it rebounds after the balloon inflation. The purpose of this is to help the artery stay open so that there is a channel for blood flow to the foot.

Summary

Pimavanserin is an antipsychotic may have some beneficial effects on core autism symptoms and co-morbid conditions such as irritability, anxiety, sleep disorders, mood instability due to epilepsy, etc.). These potential benefits stem from pimavanserin's impact on the serotonin system in the body. This study will compare pimavanserin to placebo in the treatment of irritability, core autism symptoms, and co-morbid conditions in children ages 6-17 years old.
