An International, Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Open label Study of Ripretinib vs Sunitinib in Patients with Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) with KIT Exon 11 and Co occurring KIT Exons 17 and/or 18 Mutations Who Were Previously Treated with Imatinib (INSIGHT) (INSIGHT)

This study is being done to learn how well ripretinib works against cancer as compared to sunitinib in patients with a specific GIST-gene mutation who have received imatinib. We will also learn more about the safety of ripretinib and look at how ripretinib may affect your body. The choice of whether you will be given ripretinib or sunitinib will be assigned by a computer, by chance, like the flip of a coin. You will have a 2 out of 3 chances of receiving ripretinib. You will know if you are receiving ripretinib or sunitinib.

MT2023-06: A CLINICAL STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF LERIGLITAZONE IN ADULT MALE SUBJECTS WITH CEREBRAL ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY (CALYX)

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.

MT2021-24: A Phase I Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of ISP-001 in Adult Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Hurler-Scheie and Scheie

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new procedure to treat Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Hurler-Scheie and Scheie (MPS I). This procedure involves collecting some white blood cells (termed “B cells”) and growing them outside of the body in a laboratory. While the cells are in the lab, the B cells will be changed to produce more of the IDUA that is missing. This process is called “genetic modification.” The newly modified B cells are then infused back into the participant.

MT2017-17:T Cell receptor Alpha/Beta T Cell Depleted Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in patients with Inherited Bone Marrow Failure (BMF) Disorders

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.

MT2024-19: Registry and Biological Specimen Repository for Inherited Disorders with High Risk for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Development

This study is for people who have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), Fanconi Anemia (FA) or a bone marrow failure disorder that puts them at a higher risk of developing a form of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To learn more about these disorders and their relationship to cancer, researchers are collecting skin and blood samples to study in the lab. Blood and skin donated to the will be used by researchers at the University of Minnesota in studying the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these disorders. We expect that this study will take about two hours, or the amount of time it takes to check in for a clinic visit and collect the specimens.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, and Safety of IV anifrolumab in Pediatric Participants 5 to < 18 Years of Age with Moderate to Severe Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus While on Background Standard of Care Therapy (BLOSSOM)

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, kidneys and central nervous system. "Chronic" means that it can last for a long time. "Autoimmune" means that there is a disorder of the immune system, which, instead of protecting the body from bacteria and viruses, attacks the one’s own tissues. We are doing this study to see if the investigational medication called anifrolumab may have an effect in treating pediatric SLE, to see how well it is tolerated or how safe it is, to measure levels of anifrolumab in the blood and learn more about the disease and associated health problems.

Feasibility Study of Resection and GammaTile® Followed by Concomitant External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Temozolomide (TMZ) and Adjuvant TMZ in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM). (GESTALT)

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of GammaTile in combination with the Stupp Protocol for the treatment of newly diagnosed Glioblastoma. A GammaTile (GT) is an FDA cleared device used to provide radiation therapy following the removal of a brain tumor. GT are small (2cm x 2cm x 0.4cm) collagen squares/tiles that contain sources of radiation that look like grains of rice. The doctor will place tiles containing the radiation sources in the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor. They do not need to be removed as the collagen tiles will be absorbed by the body and the radiation sources can be left in place. The Stupp Protocol includes External Beam Radiation (EBRT) in combination with Temozolomide (TMZ) which is a chemotherapy drug. EBRT uses external beams to deliver radiation to the cavity left after surgical removal of a brain tumor. After the completion of EBRT/TMZ cycle additional treatment with TMZ will continue for 6 months.

A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED PHASE 3 STUDY OF VE303 FOR PREVENTION OF RECURRENT CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE INFECTION: THE RESTORATIVE303 STUDY (RESTORATiVE303)

The purpose of RESTORATiVE303 is to see if the study drug, which is called VE303, is safe and effective in preventing another episode of Clostridioides Difficile Infection (CDI). VE303 is an investigational drug that has 8 strains of live bacteria, called “commensals.” Commensals are the type of bacteria that live in harmony with the body, without harming health. These specific bacteria are often found in the intestines of normal, healthy people. They were selected for inclusion in VE303 because they rarely infect humans (mostly in very weakened patients), they do not carry any toxins that can make one sick, and they are not known to carry any risk of creating or spreading resistance to antibiotics.

A Multicenter Observational Study to Characterize Growth in Children with Idiopathic Short Stature

This research is being done to learn more about how children with idiopathic short stature grow. About 600 children with idiopathic short stature will be in this study across the world. The study will last a minimum of 6 months (i.e., three study visits). After a child has been in this study for at least 6 months, participants may be offered the option to exit this study and enroll in a different study with growth promoting agents.
