We are doing the RARE study to learn more about Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is caused by mutations in a gene that produces a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In people with CF, the CFTR does not function correctly. Medications are being developed to help the CFTR function better, but those medications mostly benefit people with common CFTR mutations. There are more than 1,900 mutations of the CF gene. Some of these mutations are rare and found only in a few people. The goal of this research study is to collect specimens (blood, nasal cells, rectal cells) from people with rare CFTR mutations. Another purpose of this study is to create induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells. “Pluripotent” stem cells are cells that can be changed into almost any cell type of the body (such as lung or intestine). They can be kept alive and stored indefinitely. There are different kinds of pluripotent stem cells. Inducted pluripotent stem cells can be created from many different kinds of specimens (such as blood, nasal cells, rectal cells). This is different from embryonic stem cells, which can only be derived from embryos. The specimens collected during this study and iPS cells created from them will be stored for use in future research to learn more about CF and study the effect of new medications. This could identify new medications that may help people with rare CFTR mutations.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan compared to placebo in patients with idiopathic immune complex mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN)

This study has 2 parts: a double-blind period and an open-label extension. In the double-blind period of this study, the study medicine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is a treatment that looks and tastes exactly like the study medicine but does not contain any active ingredient. In this study, you will receive leriglitazone or placebo. Whether you receive leriglitazone or placebo will be decided randomly (by chance, like flipping a coin). In this study, 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive leriglitazone and 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive placebo. To make this study fair, you and the study doctor will not be told which treatment you will receive, this is called “blinding”. In the open-label extension, all subjects will receive leriglitazone.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of FT576 at different doses and schedules and to understand the way the body processes and responds to FT576. The study will also find out what effects FT576, when given alone (also called monotherapy) or in combination with an anti-cancer drug (called a monoclonal antibody), may have on you and your cancer. FT576 is a type of cell product made up of “natural killer” or NK cells. NK cells are a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells.

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 it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how tobacco and nicotine products affect our bodies. In this observational study smokers, vapers, smokeless tobacco users, nicotine replacement product users, non-users, and ex-users will be asked to provide biological samples. We will look for biological “markers” (biomarkers), or chemical changes in the body, that occur due to tobacco or nicotine exposure. Collected samples will be used for the development of biomarkers of toxicant exposure and for assessing exposure between the different groups. The intent is to eventually use these biomarkers to improve detection, prevention, and treatment strategies for tobacco-related diseases. This study will allow us to test currently used biomarkers, and to establish a biorepository (sample bank) to identify and develop new biomarkers associated with tobacco exposure and cessation. The type of samples and amount collected will depend on the specific biomarker(s) being developed or tested. Potential samples include saliva, cheek (buccal) & oral cells, blood, urine, hair, and/or nail clippings.

People with Primary MN lose more protein in their urine because the filters in their kidneys may be damaged. It is possible that some belimumab may also be lost in the urine because of this. This study will measure belimumab in the blood to decide if people with high urine protein should receive a higher dose of belimumab. Another purpose of this study is to help learn about whether the combination of belimumab and rituximab treatment is effective in making and keeping Primary MN inactive.
