The goal of this study is to provide comprehensive longitudinal assessments of a cohort of PD patients before, during, and after DBS surgery, including neurological, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological data.

The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment. NXC-201 is a cellular therapy made from your own white blood cells called T cells. If you join this study, we will collect some of your T cells and modify (change) them in a lab. This modification will help your T cells find and kill abnormal plasma cells. These genetically changed T cells are called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. NXC-201 is a CAR T cell therapy and is given intravenously (by vein). To prepare your body for NXC-201, you will also get fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which are chemotherapy drugs. After you get NXC-201, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days.

This is a research study designed to test how well a new medication (xaluritamig) works compared to other treatments for people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. These patients have already been treated with a certain chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: xaluritamig or either cabazitaxel (existing cancer treatment) or another treatment chosen by the doctor. The goal of the study is to find out which treatment is more effective and safer for patients.

The research aspect of this trial is the use of a new machine to remove specific lymphocytes from the donor’s peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). This is called T cell receptor alpha/beta T cell depletion. This machine does such a good job at removing the unwanted donor T cells, and as a result we think patients will need fewer drugs to suppress their immune system.

The purpose of this research is to measure the safety and effectiveness of ivonescimab compared to pembrolizumab. Ivonescimab is an antibody designed to block proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread, and by blocking these proteins may potentially slow cancer progression. Participants will have a 50% chance of being assigned to either the ivonescimab treatment group or the pembrolizumab treatment group.

To evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria in adult participants with IgAN

The primary purpose of this study is to find out if adding a highly focused form of radiation therapy (called SABR) to the main kidney tumor, along with immunotherapy, helps people with advanced kidney cancer live longer or do better than using immunotherapy by itself.

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.

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy of subcutaneous amivantamab plus lazertinib in previously untreated EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer OR subcutaneous amivantamab plus chemotherapy after having received prior therapy for EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Nerandomilast is being developed to treat lung fibrosis. This study is to test a drug called nerandomilast in people with SARD-ILD who also take an immunosuppressant medicine. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance and will receive either nerandomilast or placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any study drug. Participants will be in the study for about 7.5 to 13 months depending on when they join the study.

The purpose of this study is to understand if a new tool will help improve early detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery (which carries blood from your heart to the lungs). We are testing a tool that looks at an electrocardiogram (ECG) to find patients who are identified as being high risk for having PH that is not yet diagnosed. Participation in this study will last approximately six months.

The goal of this study is to find a special protein in the blood of individuals with serious prostate cancer. Special tests look for this protein in their blood while they are getting their regular cancer treatments.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an investigational drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd; DS-7300. It is being studied to see if it is safe, and if cancer improves while taking it. I-DXd is a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made to attach to tumor cells to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of providing personalized legal and financial services on the financial and emotional health of people with advanced stage colorectal cancer and their caregiver. We have partnered with a local nonprofit company called Cancer Legal Care (CLC) to provide the legal and financial services as part of this research. Participation in this study lasts for up to 3 months.

To evaluate the long-term safety of avacopan in participants with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV)

We hope to identify patterns in the brain that may be related to symptoms of PD, such as problems with walking. We are also testing different stimulation settings to see if they might be more effective than the settings that are currently used for treatment. This research may aid in our understanding of PD and how to treat it more effectively with DBS.

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.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Masonic Cancer Center and BMT databases for patients undergoing a second transplant using a haploidentical donor, an unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

This study tests IMP1734, a PARP1-selective inhibitor, in patients with breast, ovarian, or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with specific HRR gene mutations. The study includes dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerated or achievable dose (MTD/MAD), dose optimization to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of select doses, and dose expansion to test the recommended dose for monotherapy. IMP1734 is taken as daily oral tablets, and the trial lasts up to three years from the first treatment of the last participant.

This is a study of adults with unexplained chronic cough between 18-80 years old. This study is trying to determine whether a noninvasive vibrotactile stimulation device can help reduce cough symptoms.

A pilot study looking at an adult-based non-pharmacologic interventional trial in collaboration with psychologist who has expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adolescents with chronic disease and intellectual disability and developing processes towards independence in non-Sickle Cell Disease settings.

This study will enroll patients with a blood cancer who need to undergo a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant using a donor that is not a full DNA match with them. It tests TRX103, a cellular therapy, to see if it is an effective and safe way to prevent Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), a common and potentially serious side effect of stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to determine if replacing the mitral valve without open-heart surgery is as safe and effective as standard mitral valve surgery in patients with similar medical conditions. This system allows a bioprosthetic mitral valve (investigational valve) to be implanted through a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted through an incision in the side of the chest or through an incision made in the groin area and through a vein in the leg. Participation in the study is expected to last approximately 5 years from the day the valve is implanted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the investigational combination of drug called loncastuximab tesirine in combination with another anti-cancer agent is a safe and effective treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

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.

This study is being done to learn more about the efficacy and safety of LN-145 in participants with metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

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.

This Expanded Access Program (EAP) will enable the use of 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab with PET/CT scans to detect clear cell renal cell carcinoma in patients with kidney masses. It aims to gather real-world safety and effectiveness data and understand how PET imaging affects patient management.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.
