The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T in detecting lesions during a PET scan. This study is open to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who plan to have a prostatectomy and lymph node removal. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T is an investigational PET imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, similar to the way other imaging agents are used in many other types of scans. Cu 64 specifically targets the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) that is found on the surface of metastatic prostate cancer cells. Increased image contrast may make it easier for the doctor to see smaller lesions compared to other imaging agents.

This study is meant for participants who have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have a specific mutation in a gene called TP53. The study will give these participants an investigational drug called bortezomib in combination with an approved drug for AML, CPX-351 (brand name: Vyxeos). The researchers are studying this combination to find out if it is safe to give to people, as well as to find out how well it works for people who have AML with the TP53 mutation.

This trial will evaluate whether azirkitug (ABBV-514) as monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab (ABBV-181) or bevacizumab is safe and tolerable for people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a study drug called talazoparib, given alone or in combination with enzalutamide, can help slow down or delay the growth of prostate cancer in people whose cancer has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. This study includes people whose cancer has specific genetic changes and who have previously been treated with another prostate cancer medicine called abiraterone acetate.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a new NK cell therapy for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Participants will receive chemotherapy followed by an infusion of specially selected donor immune cells designed to help the body recognize and fight leukemia cells. Researchers will study the safety of this treatment, determine the most appropriate dose, and learn more about how the therapy works in the body.

The main purpose of first part of this study is to see if an experimental cell therapy called AB-3028 is a safe and effective treatment for people with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). AB-3028 is a personalized cell therapy made from your own white blood cells. The main goals of the first part are to test the safety of the treatment at different dose levels and find the recommended dose for the second part of the study.

This study will test the safety of FT819, an experimental cell product, in people with severe active systemic lupus erythematosus. The purpose of this study is to understand the way someone's body processes and responds to FT819, and to find out what effects FT819 may have on a person and their systemic lupus erythematosus.

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.

The purpose of this study is to compare two treatment approaches for people with amyloidosis: daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant versus Dara-VCD followed by daratumumab maintenance therapy without a stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of pioglitazone and metformin on people and their risk of cancers of the head or neck. We hope to learn more about the potential for pioglitazone and metformin to be used as a way to prevent oral or oropharyngeal cancers in people who are at risk for those cancers. Participants will get both pioglitazone and metformin, as a single pill to be taken at the same time for 12 weeks.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of GTB-3650. The study also provides preliminary disease response information for larger future studies. GTB-3650 is designed to target CD33 on leukemia/MDS cells. Cancer cells must overexpress CD33 (also referred to as CD33+), a marker found in some blood/bone marrow cancers. Based on similar studies and lab studies, it is felt there is a chance of benefit from the study treatment but the duration of benefit is unknown.

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, called alisertib, in combination with an ‘endocrine therapy’ such as anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen or fulvestrant can help people with HR+, HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The study will also look at how well people tolerate treatment with alisertib in combination with one of the endocrine therapies that are commonly used in clinical practice.

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.

The purpose of this study is to see if sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab can improve outcomes and delay the return of disease in participants with high-risk early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) when compared to pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants with low tumor expression of the estrogen and/or progesterone receptors (1 to 10%) will also be included in this study. The study treatment will be chosen by chance—like flipping a coin. There is a 1 out of 2 chances to receive Sacituzumab govitecan in combination with Pembrolizumab and 1 out of 2 chances to receive a study treatment of study doctor’s choice of either pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants and their study doctor will know what study drug is being taken.

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.

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects, good or bad, of the study drug, vosoritide, for treating children who have hypochondroplasia. This condition affects the growth of bone and cartilage and in which kids who have it are shorter than other kids of the same age. In this study, your child will get either the study drug or placebo, which is an inactive medicine.

This study is looking at the safety and effects of Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and its effect on insulin production in people who have been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. DFMO is a drug that is FDA-approved for other uses, but is being looked at in this study for preserving beta cell function. Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to take either the placebo medicine or Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for 6 months followed by 6 months of no medication. Of all people participating in the study, 2 out of 3 people will receive DFMO and 1 out of 3 people will receive placebo treatment. Participation in this study will be approximately 12 months.

This research study is testing a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension (high lung blood pressure due to heart failure) called TX000045 (study drug). Participants will be assigned to a study group and receive active study drug or a placebo (drug with no active ingredients). The study will last approximately 9 months

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 is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALXN1850 in pediatric participants with hypophosphatasia who have been treated with asfotase alfa for at least 6 months.

We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to test a new treatment approach for adults with high blood pressure that has been difficult to control with medication. Researchers will study how well the treatment helps lower blood pressure and learn more about participants’ experiences with the treatment.

Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is standard treatment for severe aplastic anemia, the use of the lower intensity conditioning drugs with a personalized dosing strategy, low dose total body irradiation (TBI) with dosing based on age and bone marrow abnormalities, and use of the drug cyclophosphamide early after transplant is a newer approach. We are studying whether this new approach is safer and more effective than our previous approach.

Respiratory illnesses, including ear and sinus infections, colds, and pneumonias, are among the most common infectious diseases affecting Minnesotans across their lifespan. These diseases can be caused by many different types of microbes—bacteria, viruses and fungi—and different types of microbes may require different kinds of treatment. This research is being done to learn more about the specific types of microbes that cause respiratory infections in children and adults across the state of Minnesota over time. Antimicrobial resistance happens when microbes develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Through this study, we will learn which types of genes are carried by microbes living in the respiratory tract by collecting and analyzing nasal and oral specimen.

This study is about finding out if the study drug, TARPEYO®, can be taken for a longer time (2 years) than the current recommended 9 months, to better help people with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

The purpose of this research study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of PBCAR0191 to treat certain types of cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is made from a type of blood cells known as T cells. The T cells in PBCAR0191 came from people who have donated their blood. The donated T cells have been genetically changed, so that they may be able to kill specific cancer cells commonly present in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

A clinical research study for primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) of undetermined cause in pediatric (12-17 years) and adult patients. Eligible participants will be assigned to receive either DMX-200 (repagermanium) or placebo (50/50 chance) over a treatment period, with total participation up to 28 month, with potential for participation in an Open Label Extension study period. The main purpose of this study is to see if DMX-200 reduces proteinuria and slows the loss of kidney function in those with FSGS.

We will enroll healthy pregnant women (following enrollment, all subsequent study procedures will be completed postpartum) or postpartum women on hormonal birth control or no hormonal birth control with either a recent history of smoking and a desire to remain abstinent after childbirth, or who are currently smoking and motivated to quit smoking. Participants will be recruited throughout the continental United States (US). Participants living in Minnesota (our clinical site) will receive a 12-week course of exogenous progesterone. Participants will be followed for six months with remote visits, self-administered surveys, and self-collection of dried blood spots to measure hormones and smoking-related biomarkers.

The purpose of this research is to learn more about whether T-DXd with Rilvegostomig or Pembrolizumab works better and is safe for the treatment of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers that express the HER2 protein in high levels and that have a genetic characteristic known as mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR), when compared to chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel).
