A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED PHASE 3 STUDY OF VE303 FOR PREVENTION OF RECURRENT CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE INFECTION: THE RESTORATIVE303 STUDY (RESTORATiVE303)
The purpose of RESTORATiVE303 is to see if the study drug, which is called VE303, is safe and effective in preventing another episode of Clostridioides Difficile Infection (CDI). VE303 is an investigational drug that has 8 strains of live bacteria, called “commensals.” Commensals are the type of bacteria that live in harmony with the body, without harming health. These specific bacteria are often found in the intestines of normal, healthy people. They were selected for inclusion in VE303 because they rarely infect humans (mostly in very weakened patients), they do not carry any toxins that can make one sick, and they are not known to carry any risk of creating or spreading resistance to antibiotics.

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.

A Phase Ib open label randomised clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of BI 770371 in combination with pembrolizumab with or without cetuximab compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic or recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
The goal of this study is to find out whether combining different study drugs makes tumors shrink in people with advanced head and neck cancer. This type of cancer is in the mouth, nose, throat, and sinuses. The study drugs are antibodies that act in different ways against cancer. BI 770371 and pembrolizumab may help the immune system fight cancer. Cetuximab blocks growth signals and may prevent the tumor from growing. Participants are put into 1 out of 3 groups, by chance (like drawing names from a hat), and which of the study treatments participants will receive.

IMPACT: A Clinical Investigation on IMproving Peripheral Neuropathy Induced by Anti-Cancer Drugs with Advanced Compression Technology; A Safety and Efficacy Study (IMPACT)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational devices (the Lilac Glove and Lilac Boot devices) for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe symptoms of peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy during the treatment of cancer. The Lilac Glove and Lilac Boot devices are designed to keep chemotherapy medication from damaging nerves. The study involves wearing the Lilac Glove and Boot devices on both hands and feet at each treatment session. Participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) into one of two treatment groups; the “intervention group” (which means you receive treatment with the therapeutic Lilac devices) or the “control group” (which means you will receive treatment with the sham devices).

RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL OF NEOADJUVANT IMMUNOTHERAPY WITH RESPONSE-ADAPTED TREATMENT VERSUS STANDARD-OFCARE TREATMENT FOR RESECTABLE STAGE III/IV CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
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.

AHOD2131, A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy with Immuno-oncology Therapy for Children and Adults with Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma
This phase III trial studies brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating children and young adults with stage IIB with bulk, stage IIIB, IVA, or IVB Hodgkin lymphoma. Combinations of biological substances in brentuximab vedotin may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly to Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide, 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. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without brentuximab vedotin in treating children with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.

Participants who take part in this study will receive a study drug called ruxolitinib with a standard drug called nivolumab. The study is being done to measure the percentage of tumor (lymphoma) that shrinks after receiving ruxolitinib in combination with nivolumab. This study will also measure the length of time the lymphoma is inactive and how safe the combination is to administer to participants. Ruxolitinib is a pill that is taken twice every day. Nivolumab is given as an infusion in the clinic once every 4 weeks.
