A Phase 1/2, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacodynamic Activity of Gene Therapy for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia through Administration of an Adeno-associated Virus (AAV) Serotype 5-Based Recombinant Vector Encoding the Human CYP21A2 Gene
This is a study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a one-time gene therapy (BBP-631) for adult patients diagnosed with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The goal of gene therapy for CAH is to give the body a functioning CYP21A2 gene using a vector (an agent used to deliver a gene into the body). Having a functioning CYP21A2 gene in the adrenal gland may allow the body to naturally produce its own cortisol and aldosterone. The study treatment and follow-up lasts 1 year with a long-term follow-up of 4 more years.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multiple-Center, Efficacy and Safety Study of ZYN002 Administered as a Transdermal Gel to Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome - RECONNECT (RECONNECT)
The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and safe ZYN002, a transdermal gel, is in participants with FXS. The drug product ZYN002 is a pharmaceutically manufactured CBD. It is being developed as a clear gel that can be applied to the skin (called transdermal delivery), to provide consistent, controlled levels of CBD in the blood when it is given twice a day. Participants will be assigned by chance to get one of the following study treatments: Active study drug – ZYN002 or placebo. Assigning study drug by chance is called “randomization,” and it is an important part of testing an experimental study drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to study treatment according to a computer program and will have 1 in 2 chance of receiving the active study drug.

MT2023-06: A CLINICAL STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF LERIGLITAZONE IN ADULT MALE SUBJECTS WITH CEREBRAL ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY (CALYX)
This study has 2 parts: a double-blind period and an open-label extension. In the double-blind period of this study, the study medicine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is a treatment that looks and tastes exactly like the study medicine but does not contain any active ingredient. In this study, you will receive leriglitazone or placebo. Whether you receive leriglitazone or placebo will be decided randomly (by chance, like flipping a coin). In this study, 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive leriglitazone and 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive placebo. To make this study fair, you and the study doctor will not be told which treatment you will receive, this is called “blinding”. In the open-label extension, all subjects will receive leriglitazone.

An Open-label, Multicenter, Multicohort, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Enfortumab Vedotin in Subjects with Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors (EV-202)
One goal of this study is to find out if enfortumab vedotin is effective and safe as a treatment for people with breast, lung, head and neck, gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer.

A Randomized Phase III, Two-Arm Trial of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin/Maintenance Letrozole Versus Letrozole Monotherapy in Patients with Stage II-IV, Primary Low-Grade Serous Carcinoma of the Ovary or Peritoneum
The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment of carboplatin/paclitaxel and letrozole hormonal therapy to letrozole alone.

Collaborative Solutions for Breaking Up Sedentary Time in Black Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: The Interrupt T2D Study
Black Americans are 60% more likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and 2 times more likely to die from T2D than non-Hispanic White Americans. Recent research has shown that sedentary behavior (such as sitting or lying down) have a significant negative impact on health.

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.

COG ACNS1931 - A Phase 3 Study of Selumetinib (NSC# 748727, IND# 77782) or Selumetinib in Combination with Vinblastine for non-NF1, non-TSC Patients with Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Gliomas (LGGs) Lacking BRAFV600E or IDH1 Mutations
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.

The TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes
TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.
