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 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Atumelnant Treatment in Pediatric Participants with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Including a Long-Term Extension
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of a new investigational drug called CRN04894, also called atumelnant for treating pediatric participants with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). We want to see how safe atumelnant is at different doses and how well the body accepts (tolerates) it and how it moves through the body (how it gets in, spreads around, gets used, and then leaves), also known as pharmacokinetics (PK). We also want to see if if atumelnant produces the expected effect in the body, if it helps control the CAH, and if we can reduce the steroid (GC) dose.

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.

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.

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.

National Liver Cancer Screening Trial (TRACER)
Finding liver cancer early is important to increase chances of getting treatment and decreasing risk of dying from cancer. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of two liver cancer screening methods to detect liver cancer at an early stage. Participants will be randomly (by chance) placed in one of two study groups – one group will undergo ultrasound imaging of the liver with or without a blood test to measure a specific protein, whereas the second group will undergo a blood test for liver cancer screening called a GALAD score. The GALAD score combines three blood tests to screen for liver cancer. We do not currently know if GALAD would help detect liver cancer earlier than standard screening.

A Randomized Double Blind Phase II Trial of Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT) or Placebo in Combination with Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and Tremelimumab With Chemotherapy in Treatment Naïve Advanced or Metastatic Adenocarcinoma Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The investigational therapy in this study is referred to as Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT). It is prepared by extracting healthy bacteria from the stool of healthy human donors and making it into capsules taken by mouth. The donor stool samples are rigorously tested for harmful bacteria and viruses before processing. There is scientific evidence to suggest that RMT might make immunotherapy more effective. The primary goal of the study is to test if RMT makes durvalumab + tremelimumab treatment with chemotherapy more effective to control lung cancer.
