Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic condition that causes bumps or boils, often in the folds of armpits, chest, breasts, groin, stomach, back or sides, or buttocks. This Study is being done to compare the safety and effectiveness of a Study Drug called ruxolitinib cream with a vehicle cream for people with hidradenitis suppurative. A vehicle cream looks like the Study Cream but does not have active drug in it. Participants will be in the Study for approximately 60 weeks. This includes a 28-day screening period, 16 weeks of receiving either the Study Cream or vehicle cream, 36 weeks of receiving the Study Cream, and a 30-day follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to find out what dose of CABA-201 can be safely administered to patients with SLE, including those with lupus nephritis (LN). SLE is thought to involve B cells that cause the body to attack different tissues in the body including your skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells. LN is a type of kidney disease caused by SLE. CABA-201 is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy. In this study, we will take some of your T cells, a type of white blood cell, and genetically modify them (put in a “code”) so that they may find and remove the B cells in your body, including the B cells that are involved in causing your disease. Once your cells are modified, CABA-201 cells will be re-infused into your body intravenously (through the vein).

We are studying the safety and feasibility of microbiota transplant therapy (MTT) for patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether MTT from a healthy donor is safe and can be used to restore the healthy composition of microbiota to help decrease disease severity and improve symptoms. All patients in this study will receive capsules of the drug, MTT.

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 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 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 phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.

This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, 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. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

The goal of this study is to provide comprehensive longitudinal assessments of a cohort of PD patients before, during, and after DBS surgery, including neurological, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological data.

AML is a type of blood cancer where infection fighting cells called white blood cells (WBCs) don’t grow up or “mature” like they are supposed to. Instead, they stay stuck as infant or immature “blast” cells. This study will investigate the potential risks and benefits of adding a targeted therapy called ziftomenib to intensive therapy (7+3) OR non-intensive (Venetoclax + Azacitidine) for patients whose cancers are found to have KMT2A rearrangements or mutations in the NPM1 gene. We will also see if the use of ziftomenib as maintenance therapy following consolidation is beneficial.

To determine if the addition of an ultrasound guided left sided stellate ganglion block with bupivacaine in patients undergoing esophagectomy, pneumonectomy, or lobectomy will result in lower rates of postoperative atrial fibrillation as compared to standard of care.

The purpose of this study to examine the effects of cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol on the formation of DNA damage in the mouth. The overall goal is to identify DNA damage that may be important to the development of head and neck cancers.

This study is being done to find out if vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects how different parts of the brain interact with each other and process information. Participants must be in the REVEAL study and have a new VNS device implanted for treatment of depression. The study will last for about 19 weeks after the VNS is implanted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and ability of a transplant with gene modified stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant) to treat sickle cell disease. Participants must have received investigational gene therapy with bb1111 in a clinical study sponsored by bluebird bio. There is no additional treatment associated with this study as this is a long-term follow-up study.

We are comparing treatment of early stage, hormone positive breast cancer with and without radiation therapy. One group will receive radiation therapy with endocrine therapy and the other group will receive endocrine therapy alone. We want to find out if there is any difference in how often breast cancer recurs in the same breast.

To determine the prognostic factors for visual outcome for newly diagnosed NF1-OPGs. Hypothesis: Patients (<18 years of age) with tumors involving the optic tracts and/or radiations will demonstrate worse visual outcomes compared to those without optic tract involvement.

The purpose of the study is to assess if the study treatment, pelacarsen, taken by people with mild or moderate CAVS and elevated lipoprotein(a) can safely help slow the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Pelacarsen is a treatment being tested that acts on a particle called Lp(a), which if elevated, may play a role in CAVS.

The research aspect of this trial is the use of a new machine to remove specific lymphocytes from the donor’s peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). This is called T cell receptor alpha/beta T cell depletion. This machine does such a good job at removing the unwanted donor T cells, and as a result we think patients will need fewer drugs to suppress their immune system.

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.

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.

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 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.

The purpose of this research is to measure the safety and effectiveness of ivonescimab compared to pembrolizumab. Ivonescimab is an antibody designed to block proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread, and by blocking these proteins may potentially slow cancer progression. Participants will have a 50% chance of being assigned to either the ivonescimab treatment group or the pembrolizumab treatment group.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.

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.

The rate of lung cancer screening is not optimal among Chinese American high-risk smokers, although there is a high lung cancer rate among this population. We want to validate the adapted Chinese Lung Cancer Screening Health Belief Scale, enable its usage in Chinese Americans, and further explore the relationship between lung cancer screening health beliefs and health behavior among Chinese Americans. We will also aim to identify the differences in health beliefs regarding lung cancer screening between high-risk populations in China and Chinese Americans, and to examine factors influencing these differences.
