Summary

The Patient Registry for Participation in Aging/Alzheimer's Research (PREPARE) is a database of individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment who are interested in participating in research on aging/Alzheimer's disease and related dementias conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). PREPARE will connect MUSC researchers with potential participants so they can provide information about studies for which they may be eligible. PREPARE will also collect survey data from people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and their study partners to better understand the impact of this condition on daily functioning.

Summary

Tetra Discovery Partners, Inc. has two studies that are recruiting males aged 9 to 45 to participate in a treatment clinical trial for Fragile X Syndrome. The treatment, called BPN14770, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that has the potential to address cognitive and neurological impairment in those with Fragile X Syndrome.

BPN14770-CNS-301 is a clinical trial for males aged 18 to 45 with Fragile X Syndrome. It is double-blind, meaning that neither the study doctor nor the enrolled participants know whether or not they are receiving study drug or placebo. A placebo is an inactive material that looks like the study drug, but does not contain any active study drug.

The main goals of this study are to learn how well the study drug works and how safe the study drug is compared with placebo.

After completing the double-blind study, participants have the opportunity to enroll in the open-label extension of this clinical trial, called BPN14770-CNS-302; "open-label" means that the study doctor and participants are all aware that participants are definitely getting the study medication.

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, vehicle-controlled phase to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacerein 1% ointment applied topically once daily for 8 weeks for the treatment of adult and pediatric (age ≥ 6 months) patients with generalized EBS. The duration of study participation is anticipated to be approximately ~16 to 20 weeks per patient consisting of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, a Treatment Period of 8 weeks and a No Treatment Follow-up Period of 8 weeks. Patients that complete this portion of the study will be eligible to participate in an open-label, 24-week extension phase to evaluate the long-term safety of diacerein 1% ointment for the treatment of generalized EBS.

Summary

This study is for participants who have acute leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This study will help us learn more about a newly discovered oral drug, DSP-5336, that is being tested in people with acute leukemia and other types of blood cancer. DSP-5336 is a drug that interferes with a protein (Menin) in the body that has been found to have a role in developing leukemia. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe DSP-5336 is at different doses and to find a recommended dose that is safe for further study. The overall planned study duration, including the above visits and periods, is 50 months (4.2 years).

MAGNITUDE: A Phase 3, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of NTLA-2001 in Participants with Transthyretin Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00136151
Researcher
Jan Griffin

List of Studies

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.

A Phase 2a Study with Safety Run-in to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of FF-10832 Monotherapy or in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

Keywords

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

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.
