This study evaluates the neural underpinnings of understanding speech in different listening contexts, such as listening to two talkers simultaneously or speech in background noise.

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.

The overall goal of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug gilteritinib has when given with chemotherapy to children and young adults with newly diagnosed AML and the FLT3/ITD mutation or non-ITD FLT3 activating mutations.

The purpose of this screening study is to collect samples to conduct the testing of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA). TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which the eligibility criteria require that participants have specific HLA types. The results from this screening study will be used to determine if participants meet the eligibility criteria and could potentially be enrolled in a future TScan treatment study.

This study aims to test the accuracy and speed of the pABR for future clinical use by recruiting adults with a range of hearing loss profiles from normal hearing to severe loss.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what are the best methods for diagnosing lung problems and follow-up care. The lung problems that may develop after transplant varies from patient to patient, and we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how patients respond to pulmonary (breathing system) therapies. Also, we wish to improve how we monitor lung function and quality of life after transplant, especially in children and young adults.

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.

This research study will develop an efficient electroencephalographic (EEG) method that uses narrated stories to identify frequency-specific hearing loss.

Anxiety and stress are significant problems for cancer survivors. The purpose of this study is to learn what effect a 14-day course of kava can have on anxiety and stress in cancer survivors, and about the side effects of kava for cancer survivors.

This study aims to reduce the radiotherapy (RT) dose necessary to successfully treat patients with intracranial germ cell tumors who are in a state of complete response (CR) following chemotherapy. In this study, a further reduction in whole ventricular irradiation (WVI) will be tested. The primary aim of the study is to determine whether 12 Gy of WVI, and 12 Gy tumor boost, would be successful. Event-free survival (EFS) in patients with central nervous system germinoma, who meet criteria for CR or continued complete response (CCR) following chemotherapy/second-look surgery, would be the primary measurement of success.

In this study, we want to find out more about secondhand smoke from shisha smoking in the home. We want to help families learn more about the risks of shisha smoke in the home and find ways to stop smoking at home.

The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of nivolumab with vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO) against standard of care treatment drug(s) currently available for patients with advanced melanoma. We expect that taking part in this research will last up to 60 months.

This study will enroll patients with a blood cancer who need to undergo a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant using a donor that is not a full DNA match with them. It tests TRX103, a cellular therapy, to see if it is an effective and safe way to prevent Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), a common and potentially serious side effect of stem cell transplant.

This is a global, multicenter, prospective, observational, longitudinal registry conducted to characterize the natural history and real-world clinical management of patients diagnosed with AHP. This protocol will not recommend the use of any specific treatments, visits, or procedures. No medication is provided as part of registry participation.

There are 2 phases to this clinical research study: Phase 1 (dose escalation) and Phase 2 (dose expansion). The goal of Phase 1 is to find the recommended dose of the study drug IDP-023 that can be given alone (referred to as a “monotherapy”), with or without interleukin-2 (IL-2) and in combination with another anti-cancer drug, either daratumumab in subjects with relapsed/refractory MM or rituximab in subjects with relapsed/refractory NHL. The goal of Phase 2 is to learn if the recommended dose of IDP-023 found in Phase 1 with or without IL-2 can help to control advanced MM or NHL when given in combination with daratumumab or rituximab, respectively.

We are studying the safety and feasibility of microbiota transplant therapy (MTT) for patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether MTT from a healthy donor is safe and can be used to restore the healthy composition of microbiota to help decrease disease severity and improve symptoms. All patients in this study will receive capsules of the drug, MTT.

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.

This research study is for participants who have a weakened immune system (are immunocompromised), have a lower lung infection and are currently using a machine or device to help them breathe. The study will look at whether the study drug, DAS181, works and how safe it is compared with a placebo in adults who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) and a parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection of the lower respiratory tract. A placebo looks the same as the study drug but does not contain any active ingredients.

A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone (fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.

Disruption of estrogen signaling by drugs called selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) is one of the treatment options for patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cancers. Imlunestrant is a SERD that disrupts estrogen signaling, and therefore should stop or slow down tumor growth in ER+ cancers. This study will help answer research questions about the safety of imlunestrant and any side effects, and how imlunestrant compares to standard-of-care endocrine therapy.

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.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder. This study will measure its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in participants with NMIBC who have failed or did not receive adequate Bacillus Calmette- Guérin (BCG) therapy. The study drug will be given into the lining of the bladder. This may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the cancer cells.

This study is enrolling children with Turner syndrome, SHOX deficiency, or Noonan syndrome to evaluate the effect of 3 doses of a study drug, vosoritide, versus the standard of care human Growth Hormone (hGH). The study will look at growth over a 6 month period of time. The study will also look at how well the the study drug works (efficacy) and its safety at the therapeutic dose up until the child reaches their final adult height.

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 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 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.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

Back pain is one of the most common and disabling chronic pain conditions in the United States. Most cases remain poorly managed and many sufferers, with Black and Hispanic Americans, as well as individuals with less education and income, experiencing poorer outcomes. This project aims to address barriers that currently exist within the healthcare system by co-developing and evaluating with community stakeholders, accessible evidence-based complementary and integrative health approaches that can be offered in community settings.

This study is intended to find the safest dose of a new combination of drugs (ALX148 and T-DXd) and to start to determine how effective it is at treating advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study is an addition to the ongoing ISPY study program.

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy (chemo) drug often given after a transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). We are doing this study to see if a lower dose of cyclophosphamide after transplant is as safe and works just as well. This study does not include any new or untested drugs. The drugs and procedures in this study are standard for people who receive a transplant.
