A Pivotal Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System in RELIEVing, Interrupting, and Preventing Chronic Migraine (RELIEV-CM2)
This research study is testing a potential new treatment for refractory chronic migraine (RCM). The potential new treatment is called ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System. The ShiraTronics System delivers mild electrical pulses to nerves associated with migraine pain around the back and front of your head. These electrical pulses interrupt or change the transmission of pain signals to the brain, which can potentially relieve your chronic migraine pain and symptoms. The ShiraTronics System is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for investigational (under research) use, and not approved for sale.

Phase I Study of Peptide Alarm Therapy (PAT) Administered by Intratumoral Injection with a PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Patients with Solid Tumor Cancers Who Have Failed Two Prior Therapies
This study is testing an “investigational” drug referred to as peptide alarm therapy (PAT) that was specially made for this study. PAT is using the peptide to stimulate the immune system for people who have failed prior treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Examples of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), cemiplimab (Libtayo), atezolizumab (Tecentriq), avelumab (Bavencio), and durvalumab (Imfinzi). The goal of the 1st part of the study is to identify an acceptable, safe dose of PAT and up to 3 dose levels of PAT will be tested. If dose level 3 is reached without toxicity, it becomes the dose used for the next part of the study. In the 2nd part of the study, additional patients are treated at the PAT dose identified as safe in the 1st part to gain additional safety information and provide an initial estimate of anti-cancer effect.

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.

MT2015-29 : Myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Using a Related or Adult Unrelated Donor for the Treatment of Hematological Disorders
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.

BEETroot juice to reverse functional impairment in PAD: The BEET PAD Trial (BEET PAD)
The BEET PAD Trial is a multi-centered double-blind randomized clinical trial of beetroot juice vs. placebo in 210 people with PAD. We hypothesize that by simultaneously increasing lower extremity perfusion, gastrocnemius muscle mitochondrial activity, and myofiber health and regeneration, beetroot juice will significantly improve walking performance in people with PAD. Our primary aim is to determine whether beetroot juice significantly improves six-minute walk distance at 4-month follow-up in people with PAD, compared to placebo. Preliminary evidence suggests that beetroot juice has both acute and chronic effects on walking performance in PAD. Our primary outcome will measure the combined acute and chronic effect of beetroot juice (i.e. the maximal effect) on change in 6-minute walk at 4-month follow-up. In secondary aims, we will distinguish between acute and chronic effects of beetroot juice on six-minute walk and delineate biologic pathways by which beetroot juice improves walking performance in PAD, by measuring change in gastrocnemius muscle perfusion (MRI arterial spin labeling), and gastrocnemius muscle health. We will assess the durability of beetroot juice effects on six-minute walk. Nitrate in beetroot juice is metabolized to nitrite and subsequently to NO, attaining peak nitrite levels 2.5 hours after ingestion (1). Inter-individual variability exists in the extent of metabolic conversion of nitrate to nitrite (1,2). Therefore, we will determine whether a higher peak or a greater increase in plasma nitrite at 2.5 hours after beetroot juice consumption at baseline has a greater effect on six-minute walk at 4-month follow-up, compared to a lower peak or a smaller increase, respectively. To achieve our specific aims, we will randomize 210 participants age 50 and older with PAD to one of two groups: beetroot juice vs placebo. Participants will be followed for 4.5 months.

MT2022-52: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) with Post-Transplant Cytoxan (PTCy) for the Treatment of Hematological Diseases
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.

Efficacy of Belimumab and Rituximab Compared to Rituximab Alone for the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy (REBOOT)
People with Primary MN lose more protein in their urine because the filters in their kidneys may be damaged. It is possible that some belimumab may also be lost in the urine because of this. This study will measure belimumab in the blood to decide if people with high urine protein should receive a higher dose of belimumab. Another purpose of this study is to help learn about whether the combination of belimumab and rituximab treatment is effective in making and keeping Primary MN inactive.

The purpose of this study is to capture clinical information on how kidney disease affects the health of women, focusing on menstrual and reproductive health, the transition to menopause (the time when your menstrual periods stop permanently), and menopause itself. We also wish to learn more about how women’s health affects their kidney disease, bone and heart health.
• female as biological sex
• diagnosis of a kidney disease or after kidney transplant
• at least 18 years old
• unable to speak English
MT2024-38: A Phase 1/2 Open-Label, Single-Ascending-Dose Study of EN-374, a Helper-Dependent Adenoviral-Based Gene Therapy, in Participants with X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease
To evaluate the safety of the EN-374 treatment regimen (HSC mobilization, immune prophylaxis, EN-374 dose and administration, and enrichment of HSCs with O6BG/TMZ).

A Phase 1/2 Study of FOG-001 in Participants with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (FOG-001-101)
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with cancer that is advanced (means disease has spread from the original site or has come back) or is metastatic (means the disease has spread to other parts of the body). FOG-001 is currently being developed to treat people with cancer. We want see how safe and tolerable FOG-001 is when given alone and together with other anticancer drugs at different dose levels in participants. We also want to see how FOG-001 affects the body and the cancer

MT2019-06: A Phase 3 Study Evaluating Gene Therapy by Transplantation of Autologous CD34+ Stem Cells Transduced Ex Vivo with the LentiGlobin BB305 Lentiviral Vector in Subjects with Sickle Cell Disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and ability of a transplant with your own gene modified stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant) to treat sickle cell disease. The goal is to determine if a sufficient amount of hemoglobin that prevents red blood sickling can be produced after the gene modified stem cells are returned to your body. This study may provide information on the potential usefulness of bb1111 for treatment of sickle cell disease
