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.

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.
