This is a Phase 1b, randomized, placebo/vehicle-controlled, double-blinded, multi-center trial. It is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of S. hominis A9 (ShA9) topical application as a treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). The trial will enroll adults and adolescents with atopic dermatitis who are culture positive for S. aureus colonization. The primary safety objective of this study is to compare the safety profile of ShA9 to placebo (vehicle) over 14 weeks of application, which includes an initial two-week period of co-treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS). The primary efficacy objective of this study is to assess the ability of ShA9, compared to placebo (vehicle), to prolong the period of atopic dermatitis control over 12 weeks after conclusion of an initial two-week period of co-treatment with TCS.
NCT07356141
* This study will enroll 10 dental students (primary subjects) and up to 200 patients (secondary subjects), approximately 10 special-needs and 10 non-special-needs encounters per student, totaling about 200 treatment sessions. * Students will wear an Apple Watch to continuously monitor heart rate (HR) during routine care. The Apple Watch contains built-in physiological sensors that automatically record heart rate and heart rate variability. These data are stored locally in the Apple Health app on a study-designated iPhone that is assigned for the research and handled solely by the Principal Investigator (PI). No real-time transmission or cloud-based sharing occurs during data recording. No additional apps, accounts, or third-party software are used. At designated intervals, the PI will use the health app's built-in "Export Health Data" function on the study iPhone. This function generates a ZIP file containing an export.xml file with sensor-recorded data. The PI will then upload the ZIP file from the study iPhone directly to a secure, university-approved UI Box Health Data Folder designated for the study. No research account will be set up for this purpose. * A trained observer will record start/stop timepoints of procedure phases (e.g., seating, anesthesia start, operative phase, dismissal) to align with HR signals and will document only minimal patient variables needed for analysis: behavior/cooperation score (e.g., Frankl), sedation status, and broad procedure category (e.g., preventive, restorative, surgical). * Each dental student will complete the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) only once at the beginning of the study to stablish a baseline measure of stress. The Questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. Students do not need to complete the PSQ for each patient encounter. Student HR data and permitted minimal patient variables will be coded and de-identified, stored securely in UI Box Health Data Folder, and analyzed to compare special-needs vs non-special-needs encounters and to evaluate associations between student HR and the listed patient factors. No additional patient identifiers or PHI will be collected beyond what is specified above.
NCT07100990
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if early vs rescue Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (PLEX) treatment algorithm leads to better visual outcomes in severe Optic Neuritis and leads to better neurological disability outcomes in severe Transverse Myelitis.
NCT05326477
Socioceconomically disadvantaged individuals typically have poor outcomes in behavioral weight loss interventions, but the reasons for this are unknown. This project will characterize the mechanisms through which adverse daily experiences and present bias -- a cognitive adaptation to harsh and unpredictable environments -- account for disparities in weight loss outcomes.
NCT07015242
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lisocabtagene maraleucel (Breyanzi/liso-cel/BMS-986387) in adults as first-line treatment in transplant-ineligible Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).
NCT04939610
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present in the tumor microenvironment of most epithelial cancers, whereas limited expression of FAP is observed in normal tissues. In some cancers of mesenchymal origin, notably sarcoma and mesothelioma, FAP expression has also been observed on the tumor cells themselves. Given the restricted expression profile, FAP is a promising target for peptide-targeted radionuclide imaging and therapeutic agents. Phase 1 of this study is designed to evaluate the safety and establish the recommended intravenous (IV) Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 monotherapy in participants with FAP expressing solid tumors. Phase 2 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 as monotherapy in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast cancer (BC) and in combination with chemotherapy in participants with untreated PDAC or relapsed NSCLC. Participants in both Phase 1 and 2 will be selected for treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 based on \[68Ga\]Ga FAP 2286 imaging for determining tumor FAP expression.
NCT07196644
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity of telisotuzumab adizutecan. Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that harbor MET amplification. This study will have 1 arm where participants will receive telisotuzumab adizutecan. Approximately 125 participants 12 years of age or older. with solid tumors harboring MET amplification will be enrolled in the study in up to 55 sites around the world. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) telisotuzumab adizutecan, as part of the 61.5 month study duration. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
NCT04093167
The standard or usual treatment for this disease is pembrolizumab given by needle into the veins (IV). Some cancers shed DNA (circulating tumour DNA or ctDNA) or genes (biomarkers) into the blood, and levels of these biomarkers may be able to tell researchers how people respond to treatment with pembrolizumab before they feel worse, or the cancer is worse on imaging tests. Researchers are studying how levels of these biomarkers can show how cancers are responding to treatment and whether adding chemotherapy to pembrolizumab based on detection of ctDNA can offer better results.
NCT03126630
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well pembrolizumab with or without anetumab ravtansine works in treating patients with mesothelin-positive pleural mesothelioma. Anetumab ravtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called anetumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called ravtansine. Anetumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as mesothelin receptors, and delivers ravtansine to kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab and anetumab ravtansine may work better in treating patients with mesothelin-positive pleural mesothelioma.
NCT05076175
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ozanimod (RPC1063) in achieving and maintaining clinical remission. Ozanimod will be administered orally to pediatric participants with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
NCT06200207
The study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (inactive substance that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.
NCT06596252
The purpose of this study is to prove the non-inferiority of a 6-weeks treatment with 1 mg budesonide orodispersible tablets BID versus 2 mg budesonide orodispesible tabletss for the induction of clinico-pathological remission in adult patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis.
NCT06679140
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether ibuzatrelvir is effective and safe in adults and adolescents with COVID-19 who do not need to be in the hospital but who are at high risk for progression to severe disease. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive ibuzatrelvir or matching placebo orally for 5 days. Co-administration of locally available standard of care is allowed. The total duration of the study is around 6 months.
NCT04596631
This study compares 2 medicines for type 2 diabetes: semaglutide (new medicine) and a dummy medicine (placebo). Semaglutide will be tested to see how well it works compared to the dummy medicine. The study will also test if semaglutide is safe in children and teenagers. Participants will either get semaglutide or the dummy medicine - which one is decided by chance. Participants will take 1 tablet of the study medicine every morning on an empty stomach. They have to wait 30 minutes before they eat, drink or take any other medication by mouth. The study will last for about 1 year and 3 months (66 weeks). Participants will have 12 clinic visits and 8 phone calls with the study doctor. At all 12 clinic visits, participants will have blood samples taken. Participants will also be asked some questions.
NCT06901531
Zolbetuximab is being studied in people with cancer in and around the stomach or where the food pipe (esophagus) joins the stomach, called gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Zolbetuximab with chemotherapy may be used to treat stomach and GEJ cancer when the cancer cells do not have a protein called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) on their surface (HER2-negative) but do have a protein called Claudin 18.2 (Claudin 18.2-positive). Zolbetuximab is thought to work by attaching to the Claudin 18.2 protein in their tumor, which switches on the body's immune system to attack the tumor. Certain stomach and GEJ cancers may be treated with immunotherapy, which helps the body's immune system fight cancer. This study will give more information about how well zolbetuximab works when given with an immunotherapy medicine called pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. In this study, adults with stomach cancer or GEJ cancer will either be given zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy or a placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. A placebo looks like zolbetuximab but doesn't have any medicine in it. The main aim of the study is to check how long people with stomach cancer and GEJ cancer live after treatment with zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy compared to placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Adults with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic stomach cancer or GEJ cancer can take part. Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. A tumor sample (biopsy) of their cancer will have the Claudin 18.2 protein, PD-L1 protein, and be HER2-negative. They may have been previously treated with certain standard therapies. People cannot take part if they need to take medicines to suppress their immune system, have blockages or bleeding in their gut, have specific uncontrollable cancers such as symptomatic or untreated cancers in the nervous system, or have a specific heart condition, or infections. The study treatments are either zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, or placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. People who take part will receive just 1 of the study treatments by chance. The people in the study and the study doctors will not know who takes which of the study treatments. Study treatment will be given in 6-week (42-day) cycles. The study treatment is mainly given to people slowly through a tube into a vein. This is called an infusion. People will receive study treatment as follows: Zolbetuximab or placebo: 1 infusion every 2 or 3 weeks (2 or 3 infusions in a cycle) together with: Chemotherapy (1 of the following types of chemotherapy): 1. CAPOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin): 1 infusion of oxaliplatin every 3 weeks (2 infusions in a cycle). People will also take 1 tablet of capecitabine twice a day for 2 weeks (14 days) at the start of each cycle (Day 1) and again in the middle of each cycle (Day 22). After 8 study treatments people will receive capecitabine only. 2. Modified FOLFOX6 or mFOLFOX6 (5-fluorouracil, folinic acid and oxaliplatin): 1 infusion every 2 weeks (3 infusions in a cycle). After 12 study treatments people will receive folinic acid and fluorouracil only, instead of mFOLFOX6. Pembrolizumab: 1 infusion every 3 or 6 weeks (1 or 2 infusions in a cycle). People can be in the study and will receive study treatment until their cancer worsens, they cannot tolerate the study treatment, or they need to start another cancer treatment. People may receive pembrolizumab for up to 2 years. People will visit the clinic on certain days to receive their study treatment and have health checks. The study doctors will check if people had any medical problems from taking zolbetuximab or the other study treatments. On some visits they will have scans to check for any changes in their cancer. People will have the option of giving a tumor sample if they stop treatment because their cancer has worsened. People will visit the clinic after they stop their study treatment. People will be asked about any medical problems and will have a health check. People will continue to have scans every 9 or 12 weeks to check for any changes in their cancer. They will have telephone health checks every 3 months. The number of visits and checks done at each visit will depend on the health of each person and whether they completed their study treatment or not.
NCT04793412
This is a two-phase study that compares performance growth pre-implant with current hearing aid (HA) technology versus post-implant with a cochlear implant (CI) in children with either asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) or single-sided deafness (SSD). Post-implant performance with a CI alone is expected to outperform pre-implant performance with a HA. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of bimodal hearing defined as a CI in the poor ear and a HA in the better ear for AHL or a CI in the poor ear and normal hearing in the better ear for SSD compared to pre-implant performance. The study examines factors contributing to CI outcomes.
NCT07104032
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of tirabrutinib alone compared with rituximab and temozolomide (R-TMZ) combination therapy in participants with Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).
NCT06379217
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in the expression of treatment targets on the surface of tumor cells (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2), and Gastrin Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR) between the baseline and following targeted radioligand therapy (RLT). Study will use radioligand imaging (RLI) to determine predominantly expressed target on the surface of tumor cells. Based on predominant expression of target, corresponding RLT targeting PSMA, SSTR2, or GRPR RLT will be given for up to 6 cycles every 6 weeks as intravenous (i.v.) injection in participants with metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer (mNEPC). Study is planning to enroll approximately 20 participants in \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 treatment arm, approximately 3 participants in \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB treatment arm, and approximately 13 participants in \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment arm.
NCT00683722
The objective of the present study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of Prochymal™(ex-vivo cultured human adult mesenchymal stem cells) in participants with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NCT07219277
Breast cancer is the most common cancer that spreads beyond the initial layer of tissue it developed in, and grows into surrounding healthy tissue in women worldwide. It is associated with significant illness and death. Identifying the disease in the early stage is important to achieving positive outcomes in response to diagnosis and treatment. The Syantra blood test has been developed over the past 10 years. This test involves examining blood samples to identify and analyze specific information. This information is run through a software program that then potentially identifies the presence of breast cancer in the blood sample. This test has the potential to increase early stage detection of breast cancer. The main goal of this study is to figure out how well the Syantra blood test identifies the presence of breast cancer in women 30-75 years of age. The study will also look at whether things like ethnicity, geography and certain individual characteristics (including breast density and elevated risk of breast cancer development) have an effect on how well the test works. This study will recruit women who are attending a visit at the site who are aged 30-75 who are undergoing testing for the presence of breast cancer as part of their regular screening or planned follow up imaging and/or biopsy. Participants who provide consent and meet eligibility criteria will complete a baseline questionnaire and have their blood drawn before any scheduled procedures. Relevant information will be collected from their medical record at the time of joining the study and will be reviewed and updated within 60 days and then again at 12 months following the baseline blood draw. Participants will not have to do anything after the initial visit where they may sign consent, complete the intake questionnaire and have their blood drawn.
