The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of a new medication being studied for babies who are exposed to cytomegalovirus during birth. This is called congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Cytomegalovirus is the leading cause of hearing loss and the leading viral cause of developmental delays in children. If a baby participates in this study, in addition to the study medication, he/she will still receive the current best treatment for cCMV, which is oral Valganciclovir.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Cancer Center’s and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

This study tests whether the study drug, a T-cell engager therapy engineered to have fewer off-target effects by increasing its specificity to tumor cells, is safe and tolerable in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) The study will also assess the potential Phase 2 dose regimens and determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Budesonide in low and high dose extended- release tablets in pediatric participants with active, mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis and to evaluate the level of budesonide that remains in the blood after taking it. Participants will be asked to take an oral (by mouth) form of Budesonide or a placebo once daily for 8 weeks. A placebo is a tablet that does not contain any active study drug (Budesonide).

We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

While hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective therapy, as many as 25% of patients develop problems with their lungs as a result of this treatment. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a type of lung injury after HSCT due to graft versus host disease. BO is commonly diagnosed late in patients, when lung injury is hard to treat and can be irreversible, leading to long-term lung disease or even death. The purpose of this research is to learn more about ruxolitinib as an early treatment for lung injury and BO after HSCT. Patients who are diagnosed with early lung dysfunction will be eligible for this research study.

The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called baricitinib can help with thinking and memory problems after COVID-19 infection for people suffering with Long COVID. Some people have thinking and memory problems along with possible difficulty breathing, a racing heart, dizziness, and/or fatigue after COVID-19 called Long COVID. This includes things like having a hard time remembering people’s names, managing money, or keeping a job. For some patients, these issues may last several years. We still do not understand why these problems happen and why they last longer in some people. This study will look at the changes in brain function, heart function, and daily activities after taking baricitinib or placebo for people who experience Long COVID.

This study will enroll patients with ovarian cancer who have experienced their cancer worsening after at least two previous treatments. This study will give these patients OPB-101, a genetically engineered CAR-T cell therapy product - a product that will be created from the patient's own T-cells - that the researchers hope has been designed to more accurately recognize and destroy the cancer cells. The goal of this study is to make sure OPB-101 is safe to give, if it is effective against this type of cancer, and to find the best dose of OPB-101 to give patients.

Stem cell transplants (sometimes referred to as a bone marrow transplants) have been done for over 40 years but research continues to further refine the method to reduce side effects without affecting transplant success. The purpose of this study is to improve on transplant outcomes while reducing the potential side effects based on what has been learned from previous transplant studies using a reduced intensity preparative regimen. Information collected during this study (transplant outcomes and side effects) will be compared with the outcomes of the previous reduced intensity conditioning transplant study that enrolled more than 300 patients since 2002.

This study’s strategy is to take a personalized approach, using a type of donor source combined with a drug regimen specific to that source. The common risks of a transplant approach include graft failure – when the transplant does not take; graft versus host disease (GVHD) – when the transplanted donor cells attack the recipient; and a late effect of infertility. We are studying whether this new approach with conditioning regimen matched with donor source is safer and more effective than our previous approach. Additionally, we are testing whether the dose of radiation will reduce the risk of graft failure.

The primary research element is to determine whether a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and MMF will reduce the likelihood of chronic GVHD in patients receiving a standard hematopoietic myeloablative stem cell transplant. The treatment related components of this protocol are established clinical practices. We are looking at cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment at 1 year post-transplant.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of FT825 at different doses and to understand the way the body processes and responds to FT825. The study will also find out what effects FT825, when given with or without a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab) and different chemotherapy regimens, have on cancer. FT825 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells.” T cells are part of your immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells.

There is evidence that the gut microbes interact with the body’s immune system, and people with pulmonary hypertension may have altered composition of gut microbes. We are studying whether transplanting gut microbes from healthy donors using a treatment called microbiota transplant therapy may have beneficial effects on pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Finding liver cancer early is important to increase chances of getting treatment and decreasing risk of dying from cancer. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of two liver cancer screening methods to detect liver cancer at an early stage. Participants will be randomly (by chance) placed in one of two study groups – one group will undergo ultrasound imaging of the liver with or without a blood test to measure a specific protein, whereas the second group will undergo a blood test for liver cancer screening called a GALAD score. The GALAD score combines three blood tests to screen for liver cancer. We do not currently know if GALAD would help detect liver cancer earlier than standard screening.

This study aims to identify independent blood-based risk factors for postoperative complications and near-term events among patients undergoing CABG surgery. In particular, this study will be using proteomics, the study of all proteins produced by the cells found in blood, as well as genetic analysis to identify potential predictive markers of postoperative complications. We will collect blood samples from before and after surgery. This study does not involve any medical treatment other than the one prescribed by your doctor, nor does it involve any additional medical procedures.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the drug letrozole is better or worse than not receiving treatment (called observation) following surgery for your type of cancer. Letrozole could prevent your cancer from returning but the cancer could grow while on treatment. There is currently no definitive data to support the use of Letrozole treatment for early stage Leiomyosarcoma. Letrozole has already been FDA-approved to treat other cancers, but it is investigational in this research.

This research is being done to learn more about how children with idiopathic short stature grow. About 600 children with idiopathic short stature will be in this study across the world. The study will last a minimum of 6 months (i.e., three study visits). After a child has been in this study for at least 6 months, participants may be offered the option to exit this study and enroll in a different study with growth promoting agents.

This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

This research trial studies the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of GTB-3650. The study also provides preliminary disease response information for larger future studies. GTB-3650 is designed to target CD33 on leukemia/MDS cells. Cancer cells must overexpress CD33 (also referred to as CD33+), a marker found in some blood/bone marrow cancers. Based on similar studies and lab studies, it is felt there is a chance of benefit from the study treatment but the duration of benefit is unknown.

This clinical research study is being conducted to gain knowledge about a new drug called BAY 2927088 for a type of cancer called advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, and has a mutation in the HER2 gene.

We are studying a treatment for people who have hepatocellular carcinoma that will be treated with TheraSphere™, a device that delivers radiation directly to the tumor. The study will determine if adding immunotherapy medications after TheraSphere™ treatment is safe and can improve results.

We are studying the effects of stimulating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve connects the brain to many organs in the body. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is already approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression and epilepsy. We want to learn more about how it affects other parts of our bodies, such as the heart, metabolism, the immune system, and the nervous system. We hope that by understanding how VNS affects the body as a whole, we can develop new treatments for other conditions, or help to improve its use for depression and epilepsy.

A clinical research study for primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) of undetermined cause in pediatric (12-17 years) and adult patients. Eligible participants will be assigned to receive either DMX-200 (repagermanium) or placebo (50/50 chance) over a treatment period, with total participation up to 28 month, with potential for participation in an Open Label Extension study period. The main purpose of this study is to see if DMX-200 reduces proteinuria and slows the loss of kidney function in those with FSGS.

This study it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may work better in treating patients with refractory or recurrent AML, MDS, and JMML.

The purpose of this research study is to learn if sacituzumab govitecan (also called SG or Trodelvy®) can improve lifespan and delay the growth or spread of the disease in participants with endometrial cancer when compared to chemotherapy (doxorubicin or paclitaxel).

The purpose of this research study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of PBCAR0191 to treat certain types of cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is made from a type of blood cells known as T cells. The T cells in PBCAR0191 came from people who have donated their blood. The donated T cells have been genetically changed, so that they may be able to kill specific cancer cells commonly present in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

This research study is for people who have Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and it is moderate or severe in intensity and have been treated with at least one conventional therapy for HS. This study involves the investigational drug SBT777101, which is created by genetically modifying a patient’s own immune cells. The word “investigational” means that this drug has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing. SBT777101 is being developed to treat people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

This Expanded Access Program (EAP) will enable the use of 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab with PET/CT scans to detect clear cell renal cell carcinoma in patients with kidney masses. It aims to gather real-world safety and effectiveness data and understand how PET imaging affects patient management.
