Summary

The study includes both a retrospective cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal cohort study design. Demographic and clinical data will be obtained through medical record review. 3-4 blood draws will be collected over the course of the study. If participants were also in the MAC2v3 or NTM PRO Cohort study, data collected for that study will be used in this study. About 450 subjects are expected to participate in this study at 7 research sites in the United States. Participation in this study is expected to last up to 12 months. During that time, participants will have about 3-4 study visits.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Add-on Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Navtemadlin Plus Ruxolitinib vs Placebo Plus Ruxolitinib in JAK Inhibitor-Naïve Patients with Myelofibrosis Who Have a Suboptimal Response to Ruxolitinib

Summary

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have myelofibrosis who have never had a JAK inhibitor. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a tumor protein inhibitor treatment called navtemadlin combined with another tumor protein inhibitor called ruxolitinib. Navtemadlin is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment, Ruxolitinib is FDA approved. The main purpose of the study is to see if navtemadlin combined with ruxolitinib is an effective treatment for myelofibrosis. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients with each patient initially receiving ruxolitinib. The study includes a screening period, run-in period, and a randomized (like flipping a coin) add-on period. The first two periods will be over the course of 18-24 weeks while the randomized add-on period is for those whose treatment with ruxolitinib is not effective enough and will last for a different amount of time for each patient. In the run-in period after screening, patients will take ruxolitinib at the dose determined by their study doctor for 18-24 weeks. If treatment with ruxolitinib alone is not effective, the participate will be randomized into one of two groups. In the randomized add-on period, participants will either receive ruxolitinib with navtemadlin 240 mg or a matching placebo (a pill that contains no medicine) daily for one week out of the 28-day cycle in combination with ruxolitinib at a dose determined by their study doctor. Patients in this group will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

Multiple Sclerosis
Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand differences in responses to those beginning treatment with ublituximab (Briumvi) as prescribed for Multiple Sclerosis by their treating provider. The study consists of three visits where some questions are asked about experience with Multiple Sclerosis and blood samples are drawn for genetic research and immune cell counts. While taking part in this study, some of the possible risks include those related to having blood drawn, risk of loss of confidentiality and risks related to genetic research.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with subjects with c-Met over-expressed refractory metastatic colorectal cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended ABBV-400 dose when ABBV-400 is given alone (monotherapy) in Stage 1, and to assess if ABBV-400 monotherapy is a safe and effective treatment compared to the standard of care (SOC) LONSURF [Trifluridine and Tipiracil] plus Bevacizumab in subjects with c-Met overexpressed (level of c-Met protein in your tumor cells is increased) uncontrolled metastatic colorectal cancer in Stage 2 of the study plan.

This is a phase 3 study; ABBV-400 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, MUGA scans and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, muscle aches, and joint pain. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

Keywords
Heart, Surgery
Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with coronary artery disease (blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart) who need to undergo a procedure called a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) to open up a blocked heart artery. At times, a heart pump is used during a PCI to help reduce the work the heart during the procedure. This study is evaluating a heart pump called the KARDION CORY P4 pump. The KARDION CORY P4 pump is investigational meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study will randomize subjects, meaning assign by chance, to receive either the KARDION CORY P4 pump or the Impella CP, which is commercially available.

Study participation will last about 30 days and include up to 6 visits. The study includes blood work, questionnaires, an electrocardiogram (ECG) - a tracing of the heart's electrical activity and an echocardiogram (Echo) - an ultrasound test of the heart.

Risks include risks related to the study device including bleeding, infection, and injury to the blood vessel where the device is placed. There are also risks related to study procedures. There may be benefit and the information learned may benefit others in the future.

A Comparative Effectiveness Study in Heart Transplant Patients of Rejection Surveillance with Cell-free DNA versus Endomyocardial Biopsy (ACES-EMB)

Researcher
Adrian Van Bakel

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart, Transplant
Summary

This study is an open label, Comparative Effectiveness Research study in patients who receive a heart transplant. Subjects will be enrolled into the study while under evaluation for heart transplantation or on the transplant waiting list prior to heart transplantation. All subjects will follow the center's standard of care surveillance schedule from transplant through 4 weeks post-transplantation. The study objective is to compare the effectiveness of rejection surveillance of heart transplant recipients with Prospera dd-cfDNA to rejection surveillance with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in the first post-transplant year.
The Prosperaâ„¢ test is a non-invasive test intended to detect and quantify the fraction of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) to supplement management and surveillance of allograft rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplantation. The subjects may undergo blood draws, echocardiogrphys, medical history and physical exams, antibody testing, nuclear imaging, and MRI as apart of the study. The study period will be during the first 12 months post-transplant. Quality of life questionnaires will be completed at week 4, month 6 and month 12 post-transplant.
