Health Beliefs and Behaviors of Lung Cancer Screening in Chinese Americans
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.

Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial EValuating Baricitinib on PERSistent NEurologic and Cardiopulmonary symptoms of Long COVID (REVERSE-LC) (REVERSE-LC)
The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called baricitinib can help with thinking and memory problems after COVID-19 infection for people suffering with Long COVID. Some people have thinking and memory problems along with possible difficulty breathing, a racing heart, dizziness, and/or fatigue after COVID-19 called Long COVID. This includes things like having a hard time remembering people’s names, managing money, or keeping a job. For some patients, these issues may last several years. We still do not understand why these problems happen and why they last longer in some people. This study will look at the changes in brain function, heart function, and daily activities after taking baricitinib or placebo for people who experience Long COVID.

MT2024-07:A Phase 1/2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CABA-201) in Subjects with Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (RESET-SLE)
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).

Research Evaluating Vagal Excitation and Anatomical Links
We are studying the effects of stimulating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve connects the brain to many organs in the body. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is already approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression and epilepsy. We want to learn more about how it affects other parts of our bodies, such as the heart, metabolism, the immune system, and the nervous system. We hope that by understanding how VNS affects the body as a whole, we can develop new treatments for other conditions, or help to improve its use for depression and epilepsy.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, and Safety of IV anifrolumab in Pediatric Participants 5 to < 18 Years of Age with Moderate to Severe Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus While on Background Standard of Care Therapy (BLOSSOM)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, kidneys and central nervous system. "Chronic" means that it can last for a long time. "Autoimmune" means that there is a disorder of the immune system, which, instead of protecting the body from bacteria and viruses, attacks the one’s own tissues. We are doing this study to see if the investigational medication called anifrolumab may have an effect in treating pediatric SLE, to see how well it is tolerated or how safe it is, to measure levels of anifrolumab in the blood and learn more about the disease and associated health problems.

A PHASE 3, EXTERNAL AND SYNTHETIC PLACEBO-CONTROLLED RANDOMIZED STUDY WITH DOSE-UP FOR NON-RESPONDERS TO INVESTIGATE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF RITLECITINIB 50 MG AND 100 MG ONCE DAILY IN ADULT AND ADOLESCENT PARTICIPANTS 12 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER WITH ALOPECIA AREATA (ALLEGRO-100)
Ritlecitinib (LITFULO™, PF-06651600) 50 mg daily is currently approved for people 12 years of age and older to treat severe alopecia areata (hair loss). Ritlecitinib 100 mg will be compared to Ritlecitinib 50 mg to find out if a larger daily dose is safe and can improve regrowth of hair. The study will last about 57 weeks and will have up to 9 visits. Everyone will get one of the two doses of the study drug.
• Alopecia Areata
• 12 years of age and older
• JAK Inhibitor use
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.
• confirmed metastatic or recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) of the primary tumor location of oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx
• have not received prior systemic treatment for metastatic or recurrent HNSCC
• do not have contraindications to pembrolizumab
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete Inclusion criteria
• Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC)
• progressive HNSCC within 6 months of completion of systemic therapy
• prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete Exclusion critieria
