Summary

This study is for patients who have completed curative-intent treatment for colorectal cancer. It is testing an educational website called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to see if it improves follow-up care, including knowledge about cancer recurrence, recommended tests, and self-management of health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two versions of the website, with or without additional features for engaging a support person, and can use it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The study will last up to 16 months, including website use, surveys, and optional interviews, with participation completely voluntary. The goal is to determine whether CTAC helps patients better understand follow-up care and engage their supporters to improve adherence to recommended surveillance. There will be a total of 21 patients enrolled locally over the course of 36 months.

A012303: ShortStop-HER2: Shortened Duration of Adjuvant Therapy in Patients with Early-Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with HER2 Blockade

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer and and have recently completed chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab, followed by breast surgery. The chemotherapy plus trastuzumab produced a pathologic complete response (pCR), meaning that no remaining cancer was found during your breast surgery.

This study is testing two different durations of treatments on a drug called trastuzumab (with or without pertuzumab). Participants in this study will be randomly assigned, like flipping a coin, to receive either 6 months or 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy. Randomization means the study treatment group is chosen by chance, not by the participant or the doctor.

The primary purpose of this study is to find out whether a shorter 6-month course of HER2-targeted therapy works as well as the standard 12-month course at preventing the cancer from returning.

The study drug is given to participants through an intravenous (IV) infusion.

Participants can expect to be in the study for 6 to 12 months on active treatment, and up to an additional 10 years for post-treatment follow-up visit. There will be a total of 7 patients enrolled locally over the course of 31 months.

An Interventional Study to Evaluate Treating to a Target of Transmural Healing in Patients with Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease (VECTORS)

Keywords
Crohn's Disease
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine the best treatment goals for patients with active CD. Researchers are investigating how treating and monitoring CD to meet specific treatment goals will keep your disease under control (remission) and decrease complications such as hospitalizations and surgeries. Group 1 treatment goals include IUS response (if the drug is improving your CD) and IUS assessed transmural healing (healing of all bowel layers), clinical remission (normalization of CD symptoms), and biomarker remission (improvement in stool and blood tests that show inflammation). Group 2 treatment goals include clinical remission and biomarker remission. Comparing the treatment goals in these groups may inform doctors how best to manage CD in the future. Approximately 304 people will be enrolled in this study. This research study will involve receiving 300 mg of vedolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion into your arm at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 10, and 14, then every 4 or 8 weeks thereafter.

Summary

This study will see if the experimental medicine MTX-463 can slow or stop idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) from worsening in people at least 40 years of age or older. Participants will receive either MTX-463 or a placebo (which contains no active drug) through an intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks, for a total of 6 infusions. Overall, participants will attend a total of 9 visits over the course of approximately 32 weeks, or roughly 8 months.

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension Study of Acoramidis in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ACT-EARLY OLE)

Researcher
Jan Griffin

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is an open label extension of the ACT-EARLY study. which included those with no evidence of ATTR but are known carriers of disease causing TTR gene. ATTR stands for transthyretin amyloidosis. It is a condition in which a protein called transthyretin (TTR) accumulates in various organs, including the heart (known as ATTR-CM), kidneys, and nerves (known as ATTR-PN). This accumulation can lead to damage and dysfunction in these organs.

This study will continue using the study drug acoramidis (AG-10) to determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant slow the progression of ATTR. AG-10 is an investigational drug. Investigational means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.

Participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of about 13 clinic visits and about 11 telephone follow up visits. Some tests required include physical exams, medical and surgical history, bloodwork, questionnaire, electrocardiogram (test that records your heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of your heart) and study drug administration.

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study Assessing Olpasiran Use to Prevent First Major Cardiovascular Events in Participants with Elevated Lipoprotein(a)

Keywords
Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling participants with risk factors for heart or blood vessel events (e.g. heart attack, stroke, etc) who also have an elevated lipoprotein a (Lp(a)), which is a sticky particle in the blood that carries cholesterol. The first part of the study involves testing the Lp(a) level and if elevated then participants will be invited to be a part of a study testing the investigational medication olpasiran. Investigational means it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. The study medication is given as a shot just under the skin every 3 months. This study is a randomized study meaning participants are assigned by chance to either receive olpasiran or placebo. Placebo looks like the real medication but has no active ingredients. Participants have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group but will not know which group they are in. Study related procedures include physical exams, blood work, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG - a tracing of the heart's electrical activity) and study medication administration. This study is expected to last about three and a half to five and a half years and involve between 16 to 28 visits.
