Summary

The proposed research study evaluates the potential of an oral FDA-approved medication, suvorexant, as compared with a placebo control to improve symptoms of sleep disturbance and insomnia in breast cancer survivors currently on hormonal based therapies. Eligible participants will randomly be selected to receive either the suvorexant or a placebo control for a duration of 4 Weeks. Participation in the study will include a screening process for eligibility including information on medical history and surveys regarding symptoms at the start of the study and additionally at 2 and 4 weeks. Potential benefits include improved sleep for individuals randomized to the study medication and potential study risks include loss of confidentiality of health information and a risk of sedation and complex sleep behaviors associated with the medication, suvorexant.

A Phase 1/2 Open-label, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of PC14586 in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Harboring a TP53 Y220C Mutation (PYNNACLE)

Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with advanced solid tumors with the TP53 Y220C alteration in cancer cells. This alteration is a mutation of the tumor that can be found through laboratory tests that use a sample of tissue, blood, or other fluids to check for signs of cancer. This study involves research testing the safety, best dose, side effects and timing of the study drug called PC1486. You will take the study drug, PC14586, in the form of a tablet. If assigned to the combination treatment arm (Part 1), you will also be given pembrolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that is FDA approved to treat your kind of cancer. The study drug PC1486 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study drug targets the TP53 Y220C genetic alteration in tumor cells. During the pre-screening portion, participants will provide either archived tissue or a fresh tumor sample to test for the genetic alteration. If the participants show the genetic tumor alteration in the cancer cells, they may be asked to participate in the trial. Treatment arms are groups or subgroups of participants in a clinical trial. This study will have two arms: one studies PC1486 alone and the second arm studies PC1486 in combination with Pembrolizumab against advanced solid tumors. PC14586 is a small molecule (chemical) that is designed to act on the genetic alteration TP53 Y220C in cancer cells to slow the growth of cancer, and it is taken orally. This study involves blood tests, a possible tumor biopsy, CT, and MRI scans. The study will last approximately 6 months of treatment, followed up by a check-up after the first 3 weeks and every 3 months after. Some common risks (observed in greater than 20% of people) include: Nausea, Vomiting, Abnormal liver tests, Abnormal kidney test (possible kidney damage

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics of BIA 28-6156 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease With a Pathogenic Variant in the Glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) Gene

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BIA-28-6156 in subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD). BIA -28-6156 is an investigational drug meaning that its safety, effects and how it works are still being studied. This is a randomized (assigned by chance), placebo-controlled study, which means that some participants will receive a fake treatment (placebo) while others get the real treatment. The placebo treatment looks like the BIA-28-6156 medications but doesn't contain any active ingredient. The medication is in a pill form and will be administered orally. This research is also double blind, meaning that neither the participants nor the researcher will know which treatment they will be receiving. In Part A of this study, participants will be asked to give a blood sample for a genetic screening test. If genetic testing in part A indicates the person can participate, they may be asked to volunteer for part B. Duration of Part B is about 87 weeks, this includes 5 weeks for screening, 78 weeks for the double-blind treatment period, and 4 weeks for follow up. There are at least 11 visits in total in 20 months (9 clinic visits, 2 remote phone/video visits); this does not include unscheduled visits. During visits, participants should anticipate tests including electrocardiograms (ECGs), vitals measurements (including temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate), and a physical/neurological examination. Some of the risks includes fatigue, headache, drowsiness, muscle aches and possible worsening of PD symptoms. As for benefits, participants who receives the BIA drug may see their PD progression slowing.

Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn if a program for newborn mom's can improve detection of complications after delivery and help women get medical care quickly and easily. Participants will be asked to complete a survey at the time of enrollment and at 4 additional times. All surveys can be completed via cell-phone or email. All women will be followed for 1-year after delivery. Women that enroll will be assigned to one of two groups: usual in person care OR usual in-person care PLUS a text message-based program that will ask about sign and symptoms of complications that may occur after delivery. If there is a concern, a care coordinator will call on the phone to discuss options and help refer to care if needed. Participants will be paid for their time in completing surveys.

Summary

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical
study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 vs placebo in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). a screening period of up to 28 days, 100 participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 (25 participants per dose level) or matching placebo (25 participants). Enrollment will be stratified by current use of nintedanib. The assigned study drug will be self-administered orally in tablet form twice daily (BID) with a glass of water after a meal. Once randomized, each participant will maintain their current standard of care supportive medications, including cough treatment, medications for symptom relief or quality of life improvements, oxygen therapy where indicated, respiratory physiotherapy, and treatment of comorbidities. Following randomization, all participants will enter the 12-week, double-blind treatment period.

Summary

The goal of this study proposal is to develop a biorepository which will collect and store central nervous system (CNS) tissue, connective tissue, blood, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) for future research. This material will be collected from children with CNS conditions or defects. This will be a very useful resource to scientists who work to develop new approaches to prevent and treat conditions that affect children's brains and nervous systems.

Summary

The protocol aims to improve standard of care, by ensuring an agile research infrastructure, with an ability to rapidly assess interventions during epidemic transmission of one or more respiratory pathogens adversely affecting public health.

Trials within this protocol can be adaptive, will be randomized, and will have superiority as the primary objective. Comparisons in the trials may be between an unlicensed agent to a blinded placebo plus standard of care (SOC), between an approved off-label agent to a blinded placebo plus SOC, among several active interventions (blinded or non-blinded; i.e., a comparative effectiveness study), or among different treatment strategies.
