This study is for those with Transthyretin (TTR) Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy or ATTR-CM. ATTR-CM is a condition where the heart muscle does not pump your blood through your body as it should because of build up of abnormal protein between the muscle fibers in your heart. The specific protein is called transthyretin amyloid (TTR). The study involves an investigational drug called NTLA-2001. Investigational means it is not approved for commercial sale or use by the Food and Drug Administration. This study is a randomized study meaning participants will be assigned by chance to receive NTLA-2001 or placebo. A placebo looks like the investigational drug but contains no active ingredient. In this study, two out of three participants are assigned to receive NTLA-2001 and one out of three will receive placebo. NTLA-2001 or placebo are given by intravenous (IV) infusion meaning in your vein.
NTLA-2001 consists of a gene editing system which can "knockout" the TTR gene and permanently change the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, which contains information that determines parts in traits such as eye color or height, that are passed on from parent to child) so the gene stops making the TTR protein.
This study will last at least 18 months and include up to 17 visits. Study related procedures include physical exams, blood work including genetic testing, eye exam, hall walk test, electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiogram (echo) and vitamin A supplement. Study risks include infusion related risks like headache, fever, chills, or increased liver enzymes. Other study related risks include genetic risks, loss of confidentiality and unknown risks.
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.
This study investigates a new treatment, V940, combined with pembrolizumab for people who've had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to check if this combination is safe, prevents cancer from returning, improves survival, and enhances quality of life compared to a placebo plus pembrolizumab. Participants will receive pembrolizumab, a drug that boosts the immune system to fight cancer. V940, a personalized treatment, uses genetic information from a patient's tumor to create a custom mRNA injection. It's experimental and not FDA-approved, but it offers a novel approach to empower the immune system against cancer, potentially bringing advancements in post-surgery NSCLC care.
This open-label research study will evaluate two investigational therapies, TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist and TransCon IL-2 β/γ, which are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pembrolizumab, an FDA approved medication, also a study drug on this trial is given as standard of care for this type of cancer. This study begins with two study treatment groups, Groups A:TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist injected directed into the tumor once every 21 days and Group B: TransCon IL-2 β/γ which is given through a IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days. The surgery may occur after Cycle 2 of the medications at a scheduled time that the study doctor feels appropriate. Once 12 participants have completed study treatment, 6 in each group (A and B), an analysis will determine the continuation of the study. If it passes the criteria, the study will continue, and another study treatment group, Group C: Pembrolizumad alone given through an IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days, will open. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. At the present time, limited information is available on the adverse side effects potentially related to TransCon IL-2 β/γ and TransCon TLR7/8. Very common side effects observed with TransCon IL-2 β/γ include changes with your immune system being stimulated, blood pressure, and heartbeat. Also flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, and chills), changes in lung/liver/kidney function, and brain related symptoms including dizziness, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and/or decreased brain function, which may become life-threatening. TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist requires more data collection to determine the extent of side effects in humans. At this time, there are no proven benefits in humans however, the animal studies have shown promising results. The national accrual goal for this study is 92 participants and MUSC projects to accrual approximately 5 participants per year over a span of 2 years.
This is a non-interventional, prospective, multinational, post-marketing, observational study designed to describe the real-world effectiveness, safety, and patterns of use of dupilumab in patients with PN. This study will be conducted globally and will collect data available from patients' medical files and other items routinely collected during disease management in clinical practice and PROs related to disease, work productivity, and QoL.
The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with an advanced/metastatic (meaning cancer has spread from where it started) solid tumor (cancer) with no standard treatment available. The investigational drug in this study is DB-1311. DB-1311 infusion is an antibody-drug combination composed of an anti-B7-H3 (a protein associated with worse overall survival and drug resistance) antibody and P1021 (novel topoisomerase I inhibitor). The antibody portion of the drug blocks a protein in the body that help cancer cells live, grow and spread. The purpose of this trial is to find a safe and tolerable dose of the study drug. Participation in this study will last about 24 months. The study consists of a screening visit, treatment visits, and a safety follow up visit.
For this study, we are recruiting 54 individuals with Parkinson's Disease and Freezing of Gait (FOG) who are planning to undergo Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The objective of this study is to better understand the FOG response to DBS. Prior to DBS study participants will undergo a MRI scan, behavioral assessment related to walking, a cognitive evaluation, and assessment of other Parkinson's disease symptoms. Following DBS participants will repeat these assessments at multiple timepoints over the period of one year. Overall, participants will complete a total of 7 visits over a period of approximately 1 year.
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.
This is a research study to examine if and how patterns of use change over time among three different groups of tobacco users: 1) adults who exclusively smoke combustible cigarettes, 2) adults who exclusive use e-cigarettes, and 3) adults who use both. This is a naturalistic survey study, there is nothing required or requested of participants, other than to complete our surveys. Participants do not need to quit or reduce their smoking/e-cigarette use if they do not want to. They do not need to travel for this study; it is completely remote and they can participate from your home.
Participation in the study will take place over a period of 12 months in the form of: 1) Monthly Surveys (13 total), 2) Daily Diaries for the first 90 days, 3) Follow-Up Diaries in each of the 7 days leading up to each monthly follow-up survey, and 4) Submission of Breath Samples (13 total).
This is a cross-sectional survey in persons with HIV infection to evaluate experiences of historical oral therapy use and how their perceptions on treatment may have changed with the availability of injectable long-acting therapy. In
addition to surveys, a corresponding retrospective medical chart review will be conducted for each participant.
