This is a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to see how safe and effective an inhaled medication called seralutinib is for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The primary objective of this study was to assess improvement in cardiopulmonary hemodynamics as measured by change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline to Week 24. The secondary objective of this study was to assess improvement in exercise capacity as measured by change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline to Week 24.
This study is enrolling participants who completed the FARAPULSE ADVENT study and are now nearing the 3 year post atrial fibrillation ablation timepoint. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm caused by electrical signals misfiring. An ablation is a procedure in which those signals are targeted and destroyed to stop the atrial fibrillation. This study will consist of reviewing and collecting medical records since the ablation procedure as well as optional questionnaires and wearing a heart monitor for 7 days to capture the heart's electrical activity. There are no study related follow up visits. Study related risks include loss of confidentiality and possible skin reaction to the electrodes (sticky patches placed on the chest to detect the heart's electrical activity). Individual benefit is not expected but the information learned may contribute to knowledge in this field.
The long-term objective of this proposed R24 program is to enhance our understanding of how circadian rhythm disruption contributes to vulnerability to alcohol-induced organ damage, and to explore the underlying mechanisms (e.g. microbiota) that could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets. This knowledge aims to inform the development of innovative strategies to prevent and to treat alcohol-related pathologies.
Depression is common among cancer survivors, but current ways to address this area of care are lacking. In this project, we will work with cancer survivors and oncology providers to build a text-message based approach to screen cancer survivors for depression. Long term, we hope this research can be used to improve screening for depression for cancer survivors
This is a 16-week-long treatment study for people with Alcohol Use Disorder who want to stop or cut down their drinking. The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational medication, TMP-301, affects craving for alcohol and/or alcohol drinking while taking the study drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to TMP-301or a matched placebo
We are testing a 2D system designed to help people with Parkinson's disease practice their speech. In this study, participants will speak with a virtual character, called an embodied conversational agent, using a laptop. Our goal is to see if this technology is helpful and easy to use for people with Parkinson's disease to use. This research will help us learn whether using virtual characters at home could support long-term speech improvements.
The purpose of this study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of sacituzumab govitecan with pembrolizumab to that of sacituzumab govitecan alone in patients with PD-L1-negative metastatic TNBC, who have not received prior therapy for metastatic breast cancer and who have not received a prior PD-1/L1 inhibitor.
Subjects can remain on study for as long as they are benefitting from treatment - there are no set number of visits required to participate in this study. Sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab are taken via intravenous (IV) infusion. Risks include decrease in white blood cell count, anemia, nausea, joint pain, and headache.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Sacituzumab govitecan for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, however, it is considered experimental in this study because it is currently only approved for patients who have had more treatment than patients eligible to participate in this study. The FDA has approved Pembrolizumab for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, but it is also considered experimental in this study because it is not currently approved for patients with PD-L1 negative cancer.
This is a randomized, phase II study for patients with Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to determine how long people with Large B-Cell Lymphoma can live without their disease getting worse when treated with two different combinations of cancer drugs. One group will get tafasitamab + lenalidomide + tazemetostat, and the other group will get tafasitamab + lenalidomide + zanubrutinib. The researchers want to see which combination works better. They also want to figure out the best and safest dose of each drug combination to use in future studies. Tafasitamab is a lab-made antibody that helps the immune system find and attack cancer cells. Lenalidomide is a drug that boosts the immune system and helps fight cancer. Tazemetostat is a drug that blocks a protein (EZH2) that helps cancer cells grow. Zanubrutinib is a drug that blocks another protein (BTK) involved in cancer cell survival. The treatment period may last approximately 1 year and the follow up period may last up to 3 years.
