The upfront treatment for astrocytoma is surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. There is currently no standard therapy for when the astrocytoma has returned (recurs) or re-grows (progresses). This study uses the investigational drug FT536, a cell therapy that stimulates the immune system into action to treat astrocytoma that has returned or regrown. FT536 is a type of cell therapy made up of “natural killer” or NK cells, a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells. The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of FT536 cells when given as an intratumoral injection and to identify the side effects of treatment with FT536. Another purpose of this study is to understand how FT536 alters the immune system in the brain and body.

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 is testing a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant for people with certain blood disorders. The goal is to find a treatment approach that is effective while causing fewer side effects. Participants will receive treatment to prepare their body, followed by a transplant using stem cells from a donor. After the transplant, they will receive medications to help prevent complications.

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.

The purpose of this study is to develop a cohort of patients with early scleroderma, and to collect data on clinical outcomes, radiological tests, laboratory tests and to obtain biological specimens for testing.We hope to explore medical care and the impact of SSc on patients' daily lives through various questionnaires that will be collected during study participation. By looking at all of the areas mentioned, we hope to find out information about SSc that will help treat future patients, develop new treatments, and work towards a cure.

The purpose of this study is to compare two treatment approaches for people with amyloidosis: daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant versus Dara-VCD followed by daratumumab maintenance therapy without a stem cell transplant.

This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of blinatumomab with dasatinib and standard chemotherapy versus dasatinib and standard chemotherapy for treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (PH+) or Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-Like) ABL-class B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody that binds to two different proteins-one on the surface of cancer cells and one on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes/cells/molecules. Blinatumomab may bind to the cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system's fighting response) at the same time. Blinatumomab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating the body's own immune cells to destroy the tumor. Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving blinatumomab and dasatinib in combination with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with PH+ or Ph-Like ABL-class B-ALL compared to dasatinib and chemotherapy alone.

This research study is being done to learn more about how safe and effective the investigational drug xaluritamig is when given in combination with abiraterone acetate compared to standard care (study doctor’s choice of abiraterone acetate, docetaxel, or cabazitaxel) in people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body but has not yet been treated with chemotherapy in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) setting.

The purpose of this research is to test safety, efficacy and compare the effects of a combination therapy involving inavolisib plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole versus placebo plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole on patients with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). In this study, you will get either inavolisib plus palbociclib and letrozole or placebo plus palbociclib and letrozole. A placebo looks like a drug but has no active ingredient.

The purpose of this project is to ask adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) about their opinions and experiences with working with a primary care provider (PCP). It is also to assess the utilization of primary care providers in a complex medical care patient population whose primary providers have historically had a medical home in the pulmonary subspecialty.

Women with cystic fibrosis (CF) during peri- and postmenopausal stages may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, partly mediated by accelerated cardiometabolic risks. This cross-sectional study aims to address critical gaps in understanding cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women with CF and will inform early interventions tailored to this growing population.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new investigational drug called atumelnant for adults with classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD). Researchers want to learn how well atumelnant helps control CAH symptoms, how the body processes the drug (pharmacokinetics or PK), and whether it produces the expected effects in the body (pharmacodynamics or PD). The study will also evaluate whether participants may be able to reduce their steroid (glucocorticoid) dose while taking atumelnant.

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.

This research is being done to determine whether not taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery is less effective compared to taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) within 90 days after surgery. We will divide study participants randomly (similar to tossing a coin) into two groups; one group not receiving postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and the other group receiving prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively. Both groups will receive the exact same preparation before surgery, care during the day of surgery care, postoperative care, and care after hospital discharge.

The purpose of this study is to test a new CAR T-cell therapy called AZD0120 in adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or has not responded to previous treatments. Researchers want to learn whether this therapy is safe, determine the best dose to use, and see how well it works against the cancer. The study will also look at how the treatment affects the immune system and participants’ quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about ocular (relating to the eye) side-effects of tisotumab vedotin (brand name: TIVDAK™). A side effect is anything the drug does to your body besides treating your disease. It is approved for women with cervical cancer that has spread through the body or come back during or after chemotherapy. We are doing a study to understand whether there are any ocular side-effects of TIVDAK.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a new NK cell therapy for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a research trial that tests the safety and effectiveness of multiple treatments in ALS. A regimen is a specific course of treatment, each with a different study drug. We are doing this research to find out if different treatments have an effect on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We also want to find out if these treatments are safe to take without causing too many side effects.

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 assess the safety of administering BAFFR-CAR T cells in participants with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B- cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We also will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/RP2D of BAFFR-CART cells.

The purpose of the study is to establish and maintain a biorepository of tissue and biospecimen samples relevant to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. We will obtain, store, and catalogue peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), blood and blood components, skin punch biopsy samples, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from people living with ALS, linked to clinical datasets, to advance ALS research.

This research is being completed to examine the cells, brain imaging, and speech in individuals with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder who are taking serotonergic medications such as Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine and Sertraline. The purpose of examining these is to try and see if we can predict signs of Dementia with Lewy bodies (a progressive form of dementia with an increase in decline of thinking, reasoning, and other functions). This may benefit others by enabling us to diagnose Dementia with Lewy Bodies sooner rather than later.
