Summary

This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced intervention is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the management of opioid use disorder. The intervention being studied is a brief skill building protocol and a mobile application. Participation involves three 60-90-minute skill building appointments during pregnancy, and four 30-minute check-in visits at the end of pregnancy through 3 months postpartum. The mobile application will be accessible for at least the duration of the study. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment and again at 1-month postpartum and 3-months postpartum, will send monthly photos of their prescription bottle/box, and will be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count. The total duration of the study is between 5-9 months depending on when you enroll. Compensation is provided.

RELIANCE: A phase 1, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, trial evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of Imatinib for the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAMP-2 Trial)

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Kidney, Lung, Pulmonary, Rare Diseases, Women's Health
Summary

The purpose of this medical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new medication called imatinib mesylate in the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM is a rare disease in which abnormal cells (called LAM cells) grow out of control. Over time, LAM cells destroy healthy lung tissue and cause respiratory disease or failure.

Many patients with LAM are currently treated with a medication called sirolimus (rapamycin). Sirolimus slows the growth of LAM cells.

Imatinib mesylate (hereafter called imatinib) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of some cancers that share common pathways with LAM cells. Laboratory studies suggest that imatinib could completely block the growth of LAM cells through initiation of targeted cell death.

An important purpose of this research is to determine the safety of imatinib in people with LAM. This study will also evaluate the short-term effectiveness of imatinib. Participants will be randomized to receiving imatinib (study medication) or placebo (no treatment) for the 180 day duration of participation. The study is being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina and at Columbia University in New York (CUMC). Each site will enroll 10 participants.

Keywords
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Summary

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, 2-arm study. This study will be conducted in approximately 20 centers globally, in subjects with IPF. Participation will last for about 18 weeks and include about 12 study clinic visits with the Study Doctor and/or study staff. This study will take place over approximately a year. The study will investigate a single dose level of GRI-0621 of 4.5mg compared with placebo, following once daily oral administration for 12 weeks. Approximately 36 subjects with IPF will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio for GRI-0621 4.5mg or Placebo. The study consists of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period and a Safety Follow-Up Period. The Screening Period will be conducted within 4 weeks prior to randomization, and is comprised of at least two separate in-clinic visits to assess eligibility.
Concurrently, a BAL Sub-Study will be conducted, for up to 12 eligible subjects (across various centers). The objective of the Sub-Study is to examine the role of NKT cells in fibrotic lung disease.

Researcher
Patrick Flume

List of Studies


Keywords
Lung, Pulmonary
Summary

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cause a chronic pulmonary infection associated with cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Our primary objectives are to better understand the trajectory of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), e.g.
respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), across the entire disease course and measure toxicity and tolerability using patient-reported symptomatic adverse events in treated patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD).

A Phase 2 Study of Alisertib in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

In this study, researchers are testing a drug called Alisertib in people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread extensively. These patients have already undergone the first round of treatment, but unfortunately, their cancer has started growing again. The drug alisertib works by targeting certain molecules involved in cell division, which are often overactive in cancer cells.

Patients will take alisertib as pills twice a day for a week, followed by a break. To manage side effects, they'll also receive another medication to support their blood cell production. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor how much alisertib is in the patients' blood and how they're responding to treatment.

The study will continue until patients either see their cancer progress, experience intolerable side effects, or decide to leave the study. Even if the cancer spreads to the brain during the study, patients might still be able to continue treatment if it's deemed helpful by their doctor. This research hopes to find out if alisertib can offer a new option for people whose lung cancer has come back after initial treatment.
