MT2022-30: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, interventional, multicenter, phase llI clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of ABCB5-positive mesenchymal stromal cells (ABCB5+ MSCs) on epidermolysis bullosa (EB)", allo-APZ2-EB-III
This is a study of an investigational drug (also known as the “study drug”) called allo-APZ2-OTS as a possible treatment for RDEB. The study drug contains allogeneic dermal ABCB5-positive mesenchymal stromal cells (ABCB5+ MSCs). These cells suppress inflammation and produce proteins that are important for wound healing. The study drug is expected to counteract local inflammation, improve wound healing and skin strength, and speed up wound closure.

Prophylactic Antibiotic Use to Prevent Urinary Tract Infection Following Radical Cystectomy and Urinary Diversion: Randomized Clinical Trial
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.

MT2024-25: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with High Risk Hemoglobinopathies and Other Red Cell Transfusion Dependent Disorders
This study’s strategy is to take a personalized approach, using a type of donor source combined with a drug regimen specific to that source. The common risks of a transplant approach include graft failure – when the transplant does not take; graft versus host disease (GVHD) – when the transplanted donor cells attack the recipient; and a late effect of infertility. We are studying whether this new approach with conditioning regimen matched with donor source is safer and more effective than our previous approach. Additionally, we are testing whether the dose of radiation will reduce the risk of graft failure.

This study aims to find out if investigational new drugs, TSC-204-A0201, TSC-204- A0702 and TSC-200-A0201, can help your cancer better than the standard of care (SOC) that are currently available and accepted by medical experts as a proper treatment. T-cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and fight cancer. For this study, T-cells will be collected through a process called leukapheresis. T-cells from your leukapheresis will be used to make the study drugs specifically tailored for you and your immune system. The purpose of the study is to learn if the study drugs are safe and effective in treating your type of cancer.

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).

A Phase III, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Emactuzumab vs. Placebo in Subjects with Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour (TANGENT)
We are conducting research on a new drug called emactuzumab. Emactuzumab is a new type of monoclonal antibody. An antibody is a protein produced by the body’s immune system to detect harmful substances. A monoclonal antibody is an artificially created protein that acts like a human antibody. Each antibody is specific for a single substance. Emactuzumab antibodies are aimed at blocking a type of protein called “CSF-1 receptors” from being able to work and to stop a tumor from growing. We will also examine how long this response will last, the impact on movement and quality of life. We will also examine whether participants need surgery during treatment with emactuzumab. In this study, we will also examine the safety of emactuzumab.

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.

PEPN2312; A Phase 1 study of GRN163L (Imetelstat, IND# 170891, NSC# 754228) in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is in second or greater relapse or that is refractory to relapse therapy; myelodysplastic syndrome or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia in first or greater relapse or is refractory to relapse therapy
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may work better in treating patients with refractory or recurrent AML, MDS, and JMML.
