The purpose of this study is to understand if a new tool will help improve early detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery (which carries blood from your heart to the lungs). We are testing a tool that looks at an electrocardiogram (ECG) to find patients who are identified as being high risk for having PH that is not yet diagnosed. Participation in this study will last approximately six months.

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.

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.

This study is collecting information from people with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) who are taking VYKAT XR (diazoxide choline extended-release tablets). Researchers will use information from routine medical care to learn more about the long-term safety, treatment experiences, and health outcomes of people treated with VYKAT XR.

The purpose of this research study is to see whether an experimental drug, PUL-042 Inhalation Solution (PUL-042), is effective in reducing the severity of lung infections in patients with hematologic malignancies and recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with viral infections due to PIV, hMPV, or RSV. Participants will receive PUL-042 or a placebo (an inactive agent that appears identical to PUL-042) through a nebulizer. This is a machine that uses a small motor to turn liquid into a mist, like a humidifier, so you can breathe the drug into your lungs. Participants will receive the experimental drug, PUL-042, or a placebo 3 times over a 6-day period.

This research study aims to develop a more efficient hearing test that uses brain activity measured with electroencephalographic (EEG) while listening to narrated stories to identify hearing loss at different sound frequencies.

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.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan compared to placebo in patients with idiopathic immune complex mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN)

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.

This study is testing a new digital tool designed to help people who smoke during a quit attempt. The tool is a conversational program that uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized support and suggestions when people are facing situations where they might be more likely to smoke. The goal of the study is to see how easy the tool is to use, whether people find it helpful, and whether it may support smoking cessation.

By studying your kidneys, we may learn more about why chronic kidney disease happens and how to treat it more effectively or even how to prevent it. Or participants have had diabetes for many years and have not clinical signs of chronic kidney disease. By studying your kidneys, we may learn more about the factors that help protect you from kidney disease. KPMP will last for at least 10 years.

The purpose of this research is to better understand balance and walking in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. Balance and walking problems in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus do not respond well to the typical medication treatments. This research study uses small wearable devices that attach to your clothing and can measure your body’s location while performing walking and balance tests.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate new ways to identify lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Researchers will use the information to better understand lung health and help improve future testing methods for people with CF.

The purpose of this study is to compare effects of the study drug fosmanogepix with already-approved drugs caspofungin and fluconazole to find out if fosmanogepix is safe and effective in treating patients with candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis.

Stem cell transplants (sometimes referred to as a bone marrow transplants) have been done for over 40 years but research continues to further refine the method to reduce side effects without affecting transplant success. The purpose of this study is to improve on transplant outcomes while reducing the potential side effects based on what has been learned from previous transplant studies using a reduced intensity preparative regimen. Information collected during this study (transplant outcomes and side effects) will be compared with the outcomes of the previous reduced intensity conditioning transplant study that enrolled more than 300 patients since 2002.

The purpose of this study is to understand if a new immune treatment (pasritamig) added to best supportive care (including radiation, steroids, pain medication, or medications to strengthen your bones) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer will work better than the best supportive care alone for patients without other treatment options.

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 aims to better understand how infants' and toddlers' senses, movement skills, and brain development are connected. Researchers will use developmental assessments and brain imaging (MRI) to learn more about children who experienced a brain injury around the time of birth.

We are doing this research to collect a wide range of samples, clinical information, and measurements that will be used for future research into ALS and related neurological diseases. Participants will be asked to complete 7 in-person study visits and monthly remote self-assessment activities. Access to a personal device (computer and/or smartphone or tablet) that is connected to the internet is needed to complete the monthly remote activities.

Individuals who are carriers of ALS causative gene variants have an increased lifetime risk of developing ALS or a related disorder, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). We are doing this research to collect a wide range of biofluid samples, clinical information, and other health and wellbeing information to look for measurable differences that will help us understand how and when the body changes in response to ALS causative gene variants.

The primary research element is to determine whether a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and MMF will reduce the likelihood of chronic GVHD in patients receiving a standard hematopoietic myeloablative stem cell transplant. The treatment related components of this protocol are established clinical practices. We are looking at cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment at 1 year post-transplant.

Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is standard treatment for severe aplastic anemia, the use of the lower intensity conditioning drugs with a personalized dosing strategy, low dose total body irradiation (TBI) with dosing based on age and bone marrow abnormalities, and use of the drug cyclophosphamide early after transplant is a newer approach. We are studying whether this new approach is safer and more effective than our previous approach.
