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 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 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.

This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of blinatumomab with dasatinib and standard chemotherapy versus dasatinib and standard chemotherapy for treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (PH+) or Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-Like) ABL-class B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody that binds to two different proteins-one on the surface of cancer cells and one on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes/cells/molecules. Blinatumomab may bind to the cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system's fighting response) at the same time. Blinatumomab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating the body's own immune cells to destroy the tumor. Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving blinatumomab and dasatinib in combination with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with PH+ or Ph-Like ABL-class B-ALL compared to dasatinib and chemotherapy alone.

The purpose of this research is to test how well the investigational study drug, quizartinib, works in patients with AML without a FLT3-ITD mutation who have not received any prior treatment for the disease. The study will test how it works when taken with standard chemotherapy and then taken alone to prevent the disease from coming back.

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 study evaluates the safety and effects of a novel regulatory CARTreg cell-based autoimmune and inflammatory disease therapy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The therapy is an autologous (using the patient's own cells) Treg cell therapy that targets proteins in the inflamed, disease-associated tissue, with the aim to dampen inflammation and restore balance to the immune system.

We want to find out whether lifileucel is safe and works in treating untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Lifileucel is a type of medicine, known as immunotherapy, that uses your body’s immune system to fight cancer. Lifileucel is also called “tumor infiltrating lymphocytes” (TIL) and is made up of specialized white blood cells known as lymphocytes or “T cells” obtained from a piece of your tumor. T cells are a part of your immune system that help your body fight against infections and diseases including fight cancer.

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

The Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System is a possible treatment for New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II and III heart failure. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the study device in helping to reduce Heart Failure hospitalizations.

In this study, we are going to compare two ways of treating mild respiratory illnesses in children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). One is immediate antibiotics (increase airway clearance and start oral antibiotics right away) and the other is tailored therapy (increase airway clearance right away but only start oral antibiotics if symptoms worsen or do not improve). We are looking at how safe each option is and how well each one works. To do this, we will randomize participants (like flipping a coin) to one of these two approaches if a mild respiratory illness happens over the next 12 months.

People planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant and are at risk for developing problems with the lungs related to this planned therapy. The types and seriousness of lung problems that may develop after transplant can be very different and currently, we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how they may respond to therapy. Also, we do not know what the best test is to monitor lung function after transplant, especially in children and young adults. The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what is the best method for diagnosing lung problems and following how well the lungs are working. In this study, clinical information, laboratory results and imaging findings will be collected from medical records to assist researchers in learning more about lung complications after bone marrow transplant.

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.

The main purpose of this study is to see how safe and tolerable CNP-103 is for people with type 1 diabetes. CNP-103 is a nanoparticle (a tiny particle) containing special beta cell proteins. In each group of adults and teens, participants will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either CNP-103 or placebo (like CNP-103 but contains salt water). Participants will have a 66% chance of receiving CNP-103 and a 33% chance of receiving placebo. The total duration of participation from the first Screening visit until the last assessment is approximately 208 days.

This study is designed to better understand the mechanisms contributing to impaired activation of leg muscles in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and test if stimulation of a nerve at the neck (vagus nerve) can improve muscle activation, walking and balance. People can participate in one of two experiments, or both. Both experiments will test the muscle activation patterns in the lower leg when producing low levels of force. We will also assess walking and balance. Experiment 2 will test muscle activation patterns, walking and balance before and after vagus nerve stimulation. We are also asking people who don’t have PD and are 21 to 76 years old and match in age and sex to participants to undergo the same study procedures.

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 research study is about early development in children diagnosed with congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV), identified by newborn screening that has been confirmed with a follow-up test. Study visits, when the child is 12, 24 and 36 months of age, will include questionnaires, direct assessment of child and interviews with parent(s). A brain MRI will also be completed at about 12 months. Parents will receive a report summarizing a child’s developmental, language, and behavioral assessments, reported as within normal ranges or if clinical follow-up is recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called baricitinib can help with thinking and memory problems after COVID-19 infection for people suffering with Long COVID. Some people have thinking and memory problems along with possible difficulty breathing, a racing heart, dizziness, and/or fatigue after COVID-19 called Long COVID. This includes things like having a hard time remembering people’s names, managing money, or keeping a job. For some patients, these issues may last several years. We still do not understand why these problems happen and why they last longer in some people. This study will look at the changes in brain function, heart function, and daily activities after taking baricitinib or placebo for people who experience Long COVID.

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.

To evaluate the safety of the EN-374 treatment regimen (HSC mobilization, immune prophylaxis, EN-374 dose and administration, and enrichment of HSCs with O6BG/TMZ).

This is a study to see if a new drug, named XYOSTED Injection (study drug) will help in the treatment of male adolescents ages 12 to less than 18 years old who have low or no testosterone due to a medical condition called Hypogonadism. Male Hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough of the hormone called testosterone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty. Participation in the study will last 52 weeks.

The rate of lung cancer screening is not optimal among Chinese American high-risk smokers, although there is a high lung cancer rate among this population. We want to validate the adapted Chinese Lung Cancer Screening Health Belief Scale, enable its usage in Chinese Americans, and further explore the relationship between lung cancer screening health beliefs and health behavior among Chinese Americans. We will also aim to identify the differences in health beliefs regarding lung cancer screening between high-risk populations in China and Chinese Americans, and to examine factors influencing these differences.

People who have Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and have completed study treatment through Visit 6 on the AVK-101-301 study are being asked to join this study. The goals of this study are to see how ARD-101 affects eating behaviors in people with hyperphagia and PWS by looking at their scores on a 9-question survey, and to understand how safe (how many side effects participants have) and tolerable (how well participants can tolerate any side effects) ARD-101 is over the long-term.

This study is testing the study drug BDTX-4933 in people with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors that are characterized by a KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS mutation/alteration(s). The primary objective of the study is to assess how well participants tolerate the drug and if it is effective.
