Summary

Up to 67% of patients undergoing heart surgery may experience complications after surgery. These complications may include longer stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), more time on a ventilator (also known as a breathing machine), longer overall stay in the hospital, having to return to the hospital soon after being discharged, and even death.

This research study is being performed to see whether RBT-1, an investigational new drug, can reduce complications after heart surgery

In this research study, you will have a 50% chance of being assigned to receive RBT-1 and a 50% chance of being assigned to receive placebo.

If you decide to participate, you will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion (an infusion into your vein) of either: 1) RBT-1 at a dose level of 45 mg SnPP/240 mg FeS or 2) placebo in the form of normal saline (salt water solution). You cannot choose whether you are given RBT-1 or placebo.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma.
This study is testing an investigational drug(s) called Epcoritamab that is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of the study drug epcoritamab with rituximab and lenalidomide has a better response rate than standard of care chemoimmunotherapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The total study treatment duration is up to 2.5 years. You may stop the study treatment early if you do not respond after 6 months, your disease worsens, you no longer tolerate the study drug(s), or you withdraw from the study.

Once you finish the study treatment or discontinued study treatment early, you will continue to the Post-Study Treatment Follow Up Period, you will come back to the study clinic every 6 months for the first 3 years and then yearly to have imaging scans and blood work to check if your disease is in remission or worsen.

If your disease worsens or if you start a new FL treatment, you will enter the Long-term Follow Up Period, you will be called by telephone or your health record will be reviewed to check on your well-being and to see what your next treatment plan will be. This follow-up may last up to 15 years.

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see how effective the use of copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is in imaging prostate cancer tumors for staging of men with newly diagnosed intermediate or high risk prostate cancer who are planned to have radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. Three hundred twenty-three (323) patients are planned for enrollment in this Phase 3 study, at approximately 60 sites in the U.S. and Europe. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is an investigational imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, that may make tumors from prostate cancer show up better during a nuclear medicine imaging scan. The imaging scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive drug and a special camera to create pictures of your tumor(s). Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is investigational in the United States which means that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved it.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of acoramidis (AG-10) and determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant that can cause ATTR-CM. The sponsor (Eidos) is conducting a research study to see if the study medicine will help in slowing the development and/or progression of a rare disease called Symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). AG-10 is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one and is considered experimental. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. AG-10 has been shown to reduce the level of TTR in the blood of animals and healthy volunteers tested to date. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.

If you meet the requirements and agree to participate in this study, you will go through a 2 part screening period and if approved you will begin treatment. You will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to drug or placebo and take two pills once every day for 60 months.
Your participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of clinic visits and follow up visits at home via the telephone. Some tests requires of you will include an echo, ECG, cardioradionuclide scans (scans that use radioactive agents to look at images of the heart like a PET scan), MRIs, blood tests, nerve conduction test, urine samples, and skin biopsies.

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether FINErenone reduces total (first and future) Heart Failure events and cardiovascular death compared with placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated Heart Failure with Mid-Range Ejection Fraction and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF. The study will also look at information obtained from the tests performed as part of the study to see if subjects have improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Participation in this study will last approximately 36 months. During the study period subjects will be asked to attend regular study visits with the research coordinator. These visits will include such activities such as vitals, blood tests and questionnaires. There will be 8 visits as part of participation in this clinical trial. Participants will be randomized to either the treatment group (and receive the medication) or the control group (and not receive the medication). Subjects will have a 50:50 chance of receiving the study medication during their participation in the trial. The treatment assignment is determined by randomization, where a computer selects at random which treatment group you will be in (like flipping a coin). Neither the subject, nor the blinded personnel will know which group subjects are in. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will decide what group subjects are assigned.

Summary

This phase III study evaluates whether a new drug, dostarlimab, can delay or reduce the risk of cancer returning when administered for a year, shortly after receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT). This study will enroll adults diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are treated with CRT. This study is divided into three parts: the screening period begins shortly after CRT and lasting 4-6 weeks where tests will be conducted to determine eligibility, followed by a 12-month treatment period where participants will receive either dostarlimab or an inactive substance (salt solution) with no effect on your body (placebo), and a follow up period when they will continue to be assessed to see if their cancer has returned or gotten worse. Participants may be on the study for approximately up to 5 years in total. The main risks are anaemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Alternatives to this treatment is standard of care CRT because for this type of head and neck cancer, at the present time, there are no other approved therapies administered shortly after CRT that may prevent or delay the return of the cancer. The study benefit is dostarlimab may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

Summary

This research study is testing a new treatment plan for patients with a type of lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The study focuses on patients who have not had complete success with initial treatments before surgery. The treatment plan includes a combination of chemotherapy and a drug called pembrolizumab before surgery, followed by surgery to remove the cancer, and then more pembrolizumab with or without another drug called MK-2870 after surgery.

The goal is to see if adding MK-2870 can help improve the chances of recovery and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients who didn't respond fully to the initial treatment. This study aims to find better ways to treat lung cancer and improve the survival rates of these patients.

Keywords
Throat
Summary

This study is being done to see if injections in different locations can help to minimize chronic cough. This is done through the injection of an anti-inflammatory medication (steroid) into your upper arm muscle. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes. There has not yet been a study completed using arm muscle injections. The safety profile of arm muscle injections is expected to be the same as the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) injection which is in the neck is already used at MUSC in regular practice. This is the same medication and the same dosage as the arm injection in this study. By better understanding if this treatment helps improve chronic cough, an additional treatment option could be utilized for this patient population. SLN injections are usually only performed by fellowship trained laryngologists (an extra specialized year of training after ENT residency). However, if arm muscle injections are found to be equivalent in treating chronic cough, general ENT physicians could likely provide this treatment to their patients without the need to see a specialized laryngologist. This study will evaluate safety and effectiveness of the arm muscle injection. Steroids are investigational for the purpose of this study.
