MT2025-24: A Phase 1, Open-Label Study of FT836, an Off-the-Shelf CAR T-Cell Therapy, With or Without Chemotherapy and/or Monoclonal Antibodies, in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with advanced cancer that has not has not responded to standard treatment. FT836 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells” which are part of the immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells. We want to test the safety of FT836 at different doses, to understand how the body processes and responds to FT836, and to find out what effects FT836 may have on participants and the cancer. The study will also find out what effects FT836, when given alone and with or without chemotherapy treatment (paclitaxel) and/or a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or trastuzumab.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Augment Behavior Therapy for Tics: R33 Phase
This study will look at the effects of treatment combining Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for young people who have tic disorder. Participants must be 12- 21 years old and able to have an MRI.

Investigating Vaped Phenanthrene Biomarkers in Former Smokers
Former smokers continue to be at higher risk for developing lung cancer than non-smokers,even years after quitting. This study will look at how a specific chemical, phenanthrene, is broken down in former smokers and non-smokers. If former smokers break down this chemical in a more harmful way, it might help explain their increased risk for lung cancer. Study participants will be asked to attend an in-person study visit to vape a small amount of phenanthrene. You'll then be given supplies to collect your urine for 24 hours afterwards.

MT2022-27: TRANSPIRE: Lung Injury in a Longitudinal Cohort of Pediatric HSCT Patients
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.

Neural Mechanisms of Closed-loop Phase-locked Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
We are investigating ways to improve methods of brain stimulation. The purpose of this study is to try a new way to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the brain.

During the research visits, we will put a mesh cap on the head to measure electrical activity in the brain (also known as an EEG). Once the cap is on, we will use a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device to deliver small pulses of electricity to the brain to see how it reacts to the stimulation.
