The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of nivolumab with vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO) against standard of care treatment drug(s) currently available for patients with advanced melanoma. We expect that taking part in this research will last up to 60 months.

This study is about finding out if the study drug, TARPEYO®, can be taken for a longer time (2 years) than the current recommended 9 months, to better help people with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

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.

We are looking at a new drug called 'ziltivekimab' to see if it can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. People will get either ziltivekimab or a placebo (inactive dummy drug). The study drug is an injection given into the fold of the skin on the stomach, thigh or upper arm once every month. People will take the study drug for up to 4 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a device (Vocxi Health’s MyBreath Print®) to capture and measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples from women who have a pelvic mass and will be having surgery. The ultimate goal is to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer. We expect that study will take approximately 45 minutes and breath samples will be obtained before and after surgery.

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 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.

The trial offers women with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS) 6 months of neoadjuvant exposure to endocrine therapy with the intent of determining their suitability for long-term active surveillance without surgery.

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.

This retrospective, longitudinal project is to collect certain demographic and clinical health status information for entry into the CF Foundation Patient Registry (also known as PortCF). The registry has played an important role in CF research and will continue to do so. In addition, much of the same information is entered into the University of Minnesota Cystic Fibrosis Center Research Database. This patient database has been maintained since 1975.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new procedure to treat Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Hurler-Scheie and Scheie (MPS I). This procedure involves collecting some white blood cells (termed “B cells”) and growing them outside of the body in a laboratory. While the cells are in the lab, the B cells will be changed to produce more of the IDUA that is missing. This process is called “genetic modification.” The newly modified B cells are then infused back into the participant.

The purpose of this study is to describe current knowledge and opinions about anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men (MSM), as well as their experience receiving guideline-compliant care aimed at anal cancer risk reduction using a large-scale survey disseminated via social media.

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 focuses on testing new treatments on prostate tissue that has been removed during surgery. All testing is done in a lab setting to help develop and improve potential treatment options.

The purpose of this study is to understand if the study medication ONCOFID-P-B is effective and safe in treating patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder who have not received benefit from standard BCG treatment and are not candidates for radical cystectomy.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T in detecting lesions during a PET scan. This study is open to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who plan to have a prostatectomy and lymph node removal. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T is an investigational PET imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, similar to the way other imaging agents are used in many other types of scans. Cu 64 specifically targets the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) that is found on the surface of metastatic prostate cancer cells. Increased image contrast may make it easier for the doctor to see smaller lesions compared to other imaging agents.

The overall goal of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug gilteritinib has when given with chemotherapy to children and young adults with newly diagnosed AML and the FLT3/ITD mutation or non-ITD FLT3 activating mutations.

The purpose of this study is to determine if microbiota transplant therapy (MTT) is an effective treatment for patients with alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis. We will be testing two different ways of doing the Microbiota transplant therapy (MTT): half the people who choose to be part of this study will take antibiotics before the transplant and half will take placebo antibiotics. We will collect 5 types of samples (2 or more times during the study): blood samples, skin samples, skin swabs, hair, and fecal samples.

We are conducting a research study for children ages 6-17 with patchy Alopecia Areata (AA). The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an investigational drug called Baricitinib. This study will compare the investigational drug to a placebo (inactive substance) to see how well the investigational drug works.

The primary purpose of this study is to find out if adding a highly focused form of radiation therapy (called SABR) to the main kidney tumor, along with immunotherapy, helps people with advanced kidney cancer live longer or do better than using immunotherapy by itself.

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating younger patients (≥1 year and < 22 years ) with CD22 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotoxins, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, are antibodies linked to a toxic substance and may help find cancer cells that express CD22 and kill them without harming normal cells.

CGD disorders are a group of diseases that cause the immune system to function abnormally, leading to infections, autoimmunity and/or inflammation that can begin early in life. CGD is usually caused by changes in certain genes in DNA. Researchers are trying to learn what types of medical problems patients with CGD have and how these respond to treatment, including bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy. Researchers also want to learn which genes cause CGD and how specific gene abnormalities lead to medical problems.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

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

Feeding problems are common among preterm infants. Left untreated they can cause problems that impact an infant’s ability to breathe and get the necessary nutrition they need to grow. In this study, we will learn how healthy term infants without feeding impairments feed. The SMART bottle system is made up of a disposable pressure-sensing nipple that monitors suction pressures during a feed, a wireless module that collects the measurements and sends them over Bluetooth to a tablet receiver. This system is compatible with Dr. Brown’s bottle systems. This part of the study will include 50 preterm infants.

The goal of this study is to find out if the experimental drug rapcabtagene autoleucel (herein referred to as YTB323), an investigational new therapy, is safe and effective (can help) for people who have severe refractory diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). YTB323 is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy, which is a type of gene therapy or immunotherapy. CAR-T involves collecting and using a patient’s own immune cells, specifically their T cells, to treat their condition.

To evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria in adult participants with IgAN

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including lymphomas and desmoid tumors.

A Phase I/II trial of single agent intravenous CBL0137 in pediatric patients (≥ 12 months and ≤ 30 years) with relapsed/refractory solid tumors, including CNS tumors and lymphoma.

This is a study to see if a new drug, named XYOSTED Injection (study drug) will help in the treatment of male adolescents ages 12 to less than 18 years old who have low or no testosterone due to a medical condition called Hypogonadism. Male Hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough of the hormone called testosterone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty. Participation in the study will last 52 weeks.
