Summary

This phase I trial will determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with high-dose systemic methotrexate and rituximab, with or without nivolumab, as induction treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma. In addition, whether the combination of drugs can extend the control of CNS lymphoma by being used as maintenance (prolonged treatment) after control is achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen (induction) will be judged. If decided to take part in the study, participants will complete pre-study testing, and if allowed to participate in study different people will get different doses of the study drug lenalidomide during induction chemotherapy. If the drug does not cause serious side effects, the next group of people in the study will get a higher dose, and the doses will continue to increase for every new group until people have serious side effects that require the dose to be lower. Lenalidomide will be taken by mouth on days 5 to 14 of each induction cycle. Once the dose of lenalidomide is found, the next group of people in the study will receive nivolumab in combination with the other drugs (methotrexate, rituximab, and lenalidomide). The first drug administered in each cycle is rituximab, which is given as an intravenous infusion typically in the infusion center. The day after rituximab, participants will be admitted to the hospital for the infusion of methotrexate. Enrolled participants that present benefit after induction will receive lenalidomide and nivolumab as prolonged therapy (maintenance) for an additional 12 months (12 cycles and each cycle is 28 days) or until the disease gets worse or the side effects become too severe. After treatment is completed the study doctor will continue to follow up on participants condition for 2 years to observe side effects. After 2 years the doctor will continue to follow up either in clinic or by phone for up to 5 years after registration. The most common side effects known are kidney damage, infusion reaction, blood clots, birth defects, immune toxicity, fever and infections, and there may be some risks that the study doctor is not aware of yet. Once the combination is proven safe, this study will allow for future studies to determine whether the combination of these four drugs can improve the response to treatment and help increase the understanding of their use in primary CNS lymphoma treatment. It is unclear whether these drugs will help participants live longer than the usual approach alone.

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

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.

Summary

Tetra Discovery Partners, Inc. has two studies that are recruiting males aged 9 to 45 to participate in a treatment clinical trial for Fragile X Syndrome. The treatment, called BPN14770, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that has the potential to address cognitive and neurological impairment in those with Fragile X Syndrome.

BPN14770-CNS-301 is a clinical trial for males aged 18 to 45 with Fragile X Syndrome. It is double-blind, meaning that neither the study doctor nor the enrolled participants know whether or not they are receiving study drug or placebo. A placebo is an inactive material that looks like the study drug, but does not contain any active study drug.

The main goals of this study are to learn how well the study drug works and how safe the study drug is compared with placebo.

After completing the double-blind study, participants have the opportunity to enroll in the open-label extension of this clinical trial, called BPN14770-CNS-302; "open-label" means that the study doctor and participants are all aware that participants are definitely getting the study medication.

Summary

A clinical research study is an investigation in humans of a potential medical treatment that is designed to discover or verify whether it works and is safe. This study will test an investigational drug called DF9001. "Investigational" means that it has not been approved by any health authority such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Information gathered from this study will be sent to the various health authorities.
The study has two parts: a Dose Escalation part and an Efficacy Expansion part. The main purpose of the Efficacy Expansion part of this study is to test whether the study drug (DF9001) works (if it causes cancer to shrink or disappear). The Dose Escalation part of this study's main purpose is to test different doses of the study drug by itself, and also in combination with a drug called nivolumab, an FDA approved drug. Some foreseeable risks associated with DF9001 include Diarrhea,
Skin problems, Nail changes, Eye problems, Inflammation of the lungs, intestines and liver, as well as unforeseen side effects that may occur. There is no direct benefit in participating in this study.
