ARCADIA is a multicenter, biomarker-driven,
randomized, double-blind, active-control, phase 3 clinical
trial of apixaban versus aspirin in patients who have
evidence of atrial cardiopathy and a recent stroke of
unknown cause. Eleven hundred subjects will be recruited
over 2.5 years at 120 sites in the NINDS StrokeNet
consortium. Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 1.5
years and a maximum of 4 years for the primary
efficacy outcome of recurrent stroke and the primary
safety outcomes of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage
and major hemorrhage other than intracranial
hemorrhage.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the effect of oral ozanimod as an induction treatment for subjects with moderately to severely active CD,
defined as a CDAI score ≥ 220 to ≤ 450. Approximately 600 subjects with active clinical symptoms and mucosal inflammation will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either ozanimod or placebo. Subjects will be stratified by prior biologic use and corticosteroid use at baseline. Approximately 50% of subjects with a history of treatment with marketed biologic agents (eg, TNF antagonists, anti-IL-12/23 and anti-integrin therapy) will be recruited. This limit will ensure the enrollment of subjects who have failed or been intolerant to corticosteroids or immunomodulators but never failed a TNF antagonist.

The purpose of this research study is to compare previously used vinblastine/prednisone to single therapy with cytarabine for LCH. We will evaluate the utility of an imaging study called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to more accurately assess areas of LCH involvement not otherwise seen in other imaging studies as well as response to therapy. We also want to identify if genetic and other biomarkers (special proteins in patient's blood and in patient's cancer) relate to the response of patients LCH to study treatment.

Central Nervous System (CNS) risk lesions/special site disease: patients with single bone sites that are CNS-risk (sphenoid, mastoid, orbital, zygomatic, ethmoid, maxillary, or temporal bones, the cranial fossa, pituitary gland or neurodegenerative disease) or are "special sites" (odontoid peg, vertebral lesion with intraspinal soft tissue extension) require systemic therapy as standard of care and thus are eligible for the study.
Functionally critical lesions: A single lesion not described above which may cause "functionally critical anatomic abnormality" wherein attempts at local therapy (such as surgical curettage or radiation) would cause unacceptable morbidity. These patients may be enrolled with written approval of the Coordinating Center PI or Vice-Chair and documentation of the rationale justifying systemic therapy.
Asynchronous multisite LCH presentation: A patient may also have any single site of disease involvement at the time of enrollment if they previously had at least one other site of LCH disease in the past (which may have been treated with local therapy/surgery as described), as long as no systemic therapy was previously given per protocol guidelines.

Patient may not have severe hepatic disease (direct bilirubin greater than 3 mg/dl OR aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than 500 IU/L), unless hepatic injury is due to LCH.
Female patients may not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Patients of reproductive potential not willing to use an adequate method of birth control for the duration of the study.
Patients who are HIV positive may not be enrolled.
NOTE: Patients excluded for laboratory abnormalities or performance score only may be enrolled on the study with written approval from the Coordinating Center PI or Vice-Chair.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy and overall benefit of FCR001 cell therapy in de novo living donor renal transplantation, relative to a standard-of-care control regimen including tacrolimus, mycophenolate, antibody induction, and corticosteroids.
FCR001 is a novel, cryopreserved allogeneic somatic cell therapy, derived from mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the same donor as the allograft, and containing hematopoietic progenitor cells, facilitating cells and αβ T cells. The rationale is to establish durable chimerism and donor-specific tolerance in the recipient enabling freedom from chronic IS and its associated toxicities.

This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them.
The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

This trial is an open label, randomized, stratified 2-arm Australian-led multicenter phase 3 clinical trial undertaken in two stages. Participants (age >= 11 years and <= 45 years) with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumors will be randomized into either a “standard BEP” group or “accelerated BEP” group. Participants will be assigned to the two treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio and evaluated weekly, and then for 5 years after completing the study to assess the long-term effects of the chemotherapy. Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma and may help to avoid some of the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.

Regular participation in physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, improves energy levels and overall health. Children and teenagers who have received treatment for cancer are often less active, may gain weight and have more health problems as compared to children and teenagers who have not received treatment for cancer. This study looks at physical activity and its effect on your health. This study will use a variety of interventions to see if they affect how active you are over time.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the transfusion of cold-stored (refrigerated) platelets to standard room temperature stored platelets. The goal of the trial is to determine whether platelets stored cold are similar or better at stopping bleeding compared to platelets stored at room temperature and, if so, to determine the maximum duration of cold storage that maintains a similar effect on bleeding

The HPS-4/TIMI 65/ORION-4 study aims to provide evidence about both the efficacy and safety of inclisiran. It is intended to be conducted at approximately 150 clinical sites in Europe (primarily in the UK) and North America. Approximately 15,000 participants aged 55 years or older with pre-existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease will be randomized between inclisiran sodium 300 mg and matching placebo (given by subcutaneous injection on the day of randomization, at 3 months and then every 6-months) in a 1:1 ratio for a planned median duration of about 5 years. Consistent with relevant guideline recommendations for people with vascular disease, it is intended that participants be on intensive background LDL-lowering therapy (for example, atorvastatin 40 or 80 mg daily, simvastatin 40 or 80 mg daily, or rosuvastatin 20 or 40 mg daily) at screening. In order to achieve a target LDL cholesterol reduction of at least 1.2 mmol/l [45 mg/dL], it is intended to recruit a study population with a mean LDL cholesterol of at least 2.6 mmol/l [100mg/dL] at baseline.
