At-home Ultrasound Localized Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis Study (At-home ULTRA)
The research objective is to evaluate performance of ultrasound stimulation of the spleen for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In particular, a new wearable ultrasound device has been developed for anti-inflammatory treatment by a company called SecondWave Systems.

ANBL2131/MT2024-35- A Phase 3 Study of Dinutuximab Added to Intensive Multimodal Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, 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. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

A Study to Determine the Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics Associated With PKD1 Gene Variant Groups in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disease which causes cysts to form in the kidneys. Over time as the cysts grow, the kidneys are not able to function the way they should, and may eventually lead to kidney failure. Certain people have a higher risk of developing ADPKD due to their genetic makeup. This study seeks to understand how often different types of PKD1/2 variations occur and the symptoms of ADPKD that people with PKD1/2 variants have. No study drug or devices will be administered.

A PHASE 2 STUDY OF ALISERTIB IN COMBINATION WITH ENDOCRINE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH HR+, HER2-NEGATIVE RECURRENT OR METASTATIC BREAST CANCER (ALISCA-Breast1)
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.
• diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the breast that has reoccurred of spread to other areas of the body (metastatic)
• treatment with at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion criteria
• treatment with chemotherapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete exclusion criteria
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multi-dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of VDPHL01 in Female Subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia
The research study will compare VDPHL01 with placebo (no active ingredient) to learn about the safety and how VDPHL01 works for women who have androgenetic alopecia (AGA). AGA is a genetic disorder caused by an excessive (too much) hair follicle response to androgens resulting in hair loss. VDPHL01 is an extended release (ER) oral (taken by mouth) form of minoxidil.
• women
• 18-65 years of age
• mild to moderate Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)
• history of organ transplant
• history of heart disease
