Summary

This trial is for patients with bronchiectasis who completed the Boehringer Ingelheim 1397-0012 Airleaf parent study. This is a continuation of the Airleaf study and is meant to assess the long-term safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of the study drug (BI 1291583). Approximately 220 patients will be enrolled into the study and will be randomized into either 1 milligram, 2.5 milligram, or 5 milligram study drug or placebo. Patients will be treated for approximately 1 year, while study staff monitor the number of patient pulmonary exacerbations.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with a solid tumor cancer that has continued to grow despite treatments patients have already received (non-small cell lung cancer or urothelial cancer). The study drug is FF-10832 (gemcitabine liposome injection). Gemcitabine is a cancer treatment registered in the US for the treatment of ovarian, breast, non-small cell lung, and pancreatic carcinomas. The study drug is a new, liposomal formulation of Gemcitabine. This new formula was developed to increase the amount of gemcitabine that goes to tumor cells. The study drug will be given to patients by itself, or in combination with pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is an approved treatment for many types of cancer. There are two groups that a participant may be assigned to, which group a participant is assigned on will be determined randomly, in a 1:1 ratio, like flipping a coin. The drugs will be given via an infusion. There is a 50% chance of being assigned to either group. Participation in the study will likely last 12 months, but participants may stay on the study longer if the study treatment continues to benefit them. The study consists of a screening visit, treatment visits, end of study visit, and a long-term follow-up.

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF WEEKLY ORAL ISOTRETINOIN VS. ORAL TETRACYCLINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE ACNE VULGARIS

Keywords

Summary

In the effort to find better treatments for moderate acne, which often relies on long-term antibiotic use, researchers are exploring alternative options. While isotretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, is highly effective for severe acne, its side effects limit its use for milder cases. A recent study from our institution investigated a new approach: weekly isotretinoin dosing. The results were promising, with acne improvement and no major side effects. This suggests that weekly isotretinoin could be a successful alternative for moderate acne in both males and females. To validate these findings, we propose a randomized controlled trial comparing weekly isotretinoin to daily doxycycline over four months. This study could confirm the safety and effectiveness of weekly isotretinoin, as well as shed light on patient satisfaction, and long-term results compared to standard antibiotics. This research may offer a breakthrough in treating moderate acne while addressing concerns about antibiotic overuse.

An Open-Label Extension Study to Assess the Long-Term Safety of Eplontersen (ION-682884) in Patients with Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

Keywords

Summary

This study is an open label extension study for those who participated in the ION 682884-CS2 clinical trial for transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). ATTR-CM is a disease caused by change in a protein called transthyretin (TTR) which can result in a build up of this protein in parts of the body including the heart. This build up is called an amyloid deposit, and when this occurs in the heart it can lead to a condition called cardiomyopathy. This study involves the medication eplontersen, which is considered investigational meaning it is not approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Eplontersen is aimed at preventing production of the TTR protein to slow or reverse disease progression. Eplontersen is given as an injection under the skin in the upper arm, stomach or thigh. This study will last about 3 1/2 years and include 16 clinic visits. Study procedures include physical exams, blood work, questionnaires, hall walk tests, electrocardiograms (tracing of the heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart) and taking a Vitamin A supplement.

Pivotal Clinical Trial Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Cardiac Radioablation versus Catheter Ablation for Patients with High-risk refractory Ventricular Tachycardia

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00135334
Researcher
Jeffrey Winterfield

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT - rapid heart beat coming from the bottom of the heart) that has come back despite treatment. This is a randomized study meaning subjects will be assigned to one of two groups and then undergo either a standard catheter ablation or a new treatment called cardiac radioablation for their VT. You will have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group. A standard catheter ablation is done by placing catheters (long hollow tubes) into a large blood vessel at the top of the leg, guiding them to the heart to first identify the signals causing the VT and then use radiofrequency (heat) energy to burn and stop these signals to stop the VT. The cardiac radioablation is an investigational treatment meaning it is not yet approved for routine clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cardiac radioablation is performed in the radiation oncology department and uses radiation therapy to treat the signals causing the VT. Participation in this study will last up to 5 years and inlcude about 15 visits. Study related procedures include medical record review and data collection, electrocardiogram (tracing of heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart), CT scans, blood work, questionnaires, implantable cardioverter defibrillation (ICD - device implanted in your chest that monitors and treats abnormal heart rhythms), and ablation procedure per randomization. Risks include fatigue, changes in the appearance of the lungs in the cardiac radioablation group, fatigue, pain, low or high blood pressure or excessive bruising or bleeding at the catheter insertion side in the cardiac ablation arm. There are also study procedure related risks, and risks that are not known. There is potential benefit to you and to others in learning how to better treat others in the future with this condition.

Summary

This study is for adults with HIV who are currently being treated with Biktarvy® (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide [B/F/TAF]). The purpose of the research is to compare the effectiveness of B/F/TAF and the investigational once-daily medication Bictegravir/Lenacapavir (BIC/LEN). Participants will either continue taking B/F/TAF or switch to BIC/LEN for at least 48 weeks. The study will also look at the long-term effectiveness of BIC/LEN. Participants will be given the option of participating in an open-label phase of the study (where both the provider and participant know which drug they are on) where all participants receive BIC/LEN.

A Follow-Up, Open-Label, Research Evaluation of Sustained Treatment with Aficamten (CK-3773274) in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Drug Studies, Heart, Men's Health, Women's Health
Summary

This study is for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, which can sometimes block the blood flow out of the heart and results in the heart muscle working harder to pump blood to the body. Participants who have completed participation in a previous HCM study investigating the study drug, called aficamten (CK-3773274), will be eligible to participate in this study.

The study is done to collect long-term safety and tolerability data, including assessments of cardiac structure and function during chronic dosing with aficamten. Aficamten is a tablet taken by mouth. This is an open label study (the participants and study team will know the dose of aficamten taken at any given time). If your screening results show you are eligible to continue in the study, you will visit the research site for the "first dosing day" (Day 1), followed by visits at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 12, then every 12 weeks thereafter. Study related procedures include blood work, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), electrocardiogram (recording of heart's electrical activity), physical exams, and questionnaires. Risks associated with this study include shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness.
