We are studying the use of immunotherapy before and after (in some cases) surgery to see if it will extend the length of time until the cancer returns compared to the usual approach. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with surgery which may be followed by radiation. Participants will either get the study drug cemiplimab (REGN2810) before surgery for the cancer or will have up-front surgery. For those who receive cemiplimab (REGN2810), it will be given before surgery every 3 weeks for up to 12 weeks. In either case, participants may also receive radiation after surgery depending on the tumor tissue results from surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine if replacing the mitral valve without open-heart surgery is as safe and effective as standard mitral valve surgery in patients with similar medical conditions. This system allows a bioprosthetic mitral valve (investigational valve) to be implanted through a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted through an incision in the side of the chest or through an incision made in the groin area and through a vein in the leg. Participation in the study is expected to last approximately 5 years from the day the valve is implanted.

The purpose of this research is to learn more about whether T-DXd with Rilvegostomig or Pembrolizumab works better and is safe for the treatment of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers that express the HER2 protein in high levels and that have a genetic characteristic known as mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR), when compared to chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the investigational combination of drug called loncastuximab tesirine in combination with another anti-cancer agent is a safe and effective treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The purpose of this research is to test how well the investigational study drug, quizartinib, works in patients with AML without a FLT3-ITD mutation who have not received any prior treatment for the disease. The study will test how it works when taken with standard chemotherapy and then taken alone to prevent the disease from coming back.

This study will test the safety of FT819, an experimental cell product, in people with severe active systemic lupus erythematosus. The purpose of this study is to understand the way someone's body processes and responds to FT819, and to find out what effects FT819 may have on a person and their systemic lupus erythematosus.

We have determined that the microbes (bacteria) in the colon can play a role in causing and preventing complications of colon surgery. While the surgical bowel prep before surgery eliminates the harmful bacteria, it also eliminates the beneficial bacteria that aid wound healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if we can restore the presence of good bacteria (also known as ‘intestinal microbiota’) in the colon by transplanting them from a healthy donor.

This study tests the use of the oncolytic virus BI1831169 (VSV-GP) as an immunotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. This trial is the first-in-human trial to test the safety and early efficacy of BI1831169 by itself (Part 1) and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor ezabenlimab (Part 2).

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.

We want to find out whether lifileucel is safe and works in treating untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Lifileucel is a type of medicine, known as immunotherapy, that uses your body’s immune system to fight cancer. Lifileucel is also called “tumor infiltrating lymphocytes” (TIL) and is made up of specialized white blood cells known as lymphocytes or “T cells” obtained from a piece of your tumor. T cells are a part of your immune system that help your body fight against infections and diseases including fight cancer.

This research study is testing a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension (high lung blood pressure due to heart failure) called TX000045 (study drug). Participants will be assigned to a study group and receive active study drug or a placebo (drug with no active ingredients). The study will last approximately 9 months

The Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System is a possible treatment for New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II and III heart failure. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the study device in helping to reduce Heart Failure hospitalizations.

This study aims to find out whether MyoPAXon, a genetically modified cellular therapy treatment, is safe to give to patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), and whether it has any positive effect on their disease. It will also determine how much MyoPAXon is safe to give to a person at one time.

This study compares treatment with niraparib to temozolomide in adult participants who have newly-diagnosed, MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma.

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.

This study will enroll patients with a blood cancer who need to undergo a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant using a donor that is not a full DNA match with them. It tests TRX103, a cellular therapy, to see if it is an effective and safe way to prevent Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), a common and potentially serious side effect of stem cell transplant.

People planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant and are at risk for developing problems with the lungs related to this planned therapy. The types and seriousness of lung problems that may develop after transplant can be very different and currently, we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how they may respond to therapy. Also, we do not know what the best test is to monitor lung function after transplant, especially in children and young adults. The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what is the best method for diagnosing lung problems and following how well the lungs are working. In this study, clinical information, laboratory results and imaging findings will be collected from medical records to assist researchers in learning more about lung complications after bone marrow transplant.

The purpose of this study is to learn if removing the donor T cells from the donor product using this new method will be a better way to reduce the risk of GVHD. The benefit of removing these cells with this new method is that they will prevent GVHD without requiring drugs to suppress the immune system. Potentially, the immune system will recover from the transplant faster, which in turn will also lessen the risk of severe infections. As well, the patient will not have the other common undesired side effects of these immunosuppressive drugs.

This study is for people who have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), Fanconi Anemia (FA) or a bone marrow failure disorder that puts them at a higher risk of developing a form of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To learn more about these disorders and their relationship to cancer, researchers are collecting skin and blood samples to study in the lab. Blood and skin donated to the will be used by researchers at the University of Minnesota in studying the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these disorders. We expect that this study will take about two hours, or the amount of time it takes to check in for a clinic visit and collect the specimens.

The main purpose of this study is to see how safe and tolerable CNP-103 is for people with type 1 diabetes. CNP-103 is a nanoparticle (a tiny particle) containing special beta cell proteins. In each group of adults and teens, participants will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either CNP-103 or placebo (like CNP-103 but contains salt water). Participants will have a 66% chance of receiving CNP-103 and a 33% chance of receiving placebo. The total duration of participation from the first Screening visit until the last assessment is approximately 208 days.

To evaluate the long-term safety of BEAM-101 up to 15 years after treatment.

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.

This study is about quality of life and physical sensation in the nipple-areola area of people who have undergone deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction with or without nerve grafting. At the post-operative clinic visits at 3, 6, 12, and 18-months post-op, participants will have sensory assessments and be asked to complete a series of questionnaires.

This study is being done to learn more about the efficacy and safety of LN-145 in participants with metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment. NXC-201 is a cellular therapy made from your own white blood cells called T cells. If you join this study, we will collect some of your T cells and modify (change) them in a lab. This modification will help your T cells find and kill abnormal plasma cells. These genetically changed T cells are called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. NXC-201 is a CAR T cell therapy and is given intravenously (by vein). To prepare your body for NXC-201, you will also get fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which are chemotherapy drugs. After you get NXC-201, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days.

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects, good or bad, of the study drug, vosoritide, for treating children who have hypochondroplasia. This condition affects the growth of bone and cartilage and in which kids who have it are shorter than other kids of the same age. In this study, your child will get either the study drug or placebo, which is an inactive medicine.

This research is being to see if a new 3D simulation model is helpful in teaching patients about care of their stomas after surgery. We expect that people will be in this research study for 3-6 months depending on the timing of surgery and postoperative visits. The number of preoperative and postoperative visits, physician exams, scans, X-rays, and laboratory tests for preparation for surgery or after the surgery does not change because of this study.

This research is being done to determine whether not taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery is less effective compared to taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) within 90 days after surgery. We will divide study participants randomly (similar to tossing a coin) into two groups; one group not receiving postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and the other group receiving prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively. Both groups will receive the exact same preparation before surgery, care during the day of surgery care, postoperative care, and care after hospital discharge.

This research study is about early development in children diagnosed with congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV), identified by newborn screening that has been confirmed with a follow-up test. Study visits, when the child is 12, 24 and 36 months of age, will include questionnaires, direct assessment of child and interviews with parent(s). A brain MRI will also be completed at about 12 months. Parents will receive a report summarizing a child’s developmental, language, and behavioral assessments, reported as within normal ranges or if clinical follow-up is recommended.
