The secondary objectives of the study are: * To assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of SC doses of dupilumab in adult participants with active, moderate to severe EoE * To assess the effect of dupilumab on esophageal eosinophilic infiltration * To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dupilumab in adult participants with EoE
NCT00062881
This research study is an investigational treatment with the experimental drug Mafosfamide. This treatment is only for children with cancer that has spread to the meninges (tissues that cover the spinal column and brain) and has continued to grow despite treatment with standard therapy. Mafosfamide is a drug reported to have antitumor effects in animals and that has been given safely into the cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid within and surrounding the brain) in a small number of children and adults. Since there is limited experience in adults and children in giving mafosfamide in this way, the main purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate safe dose of mafosfamide when given intrathecally, that is directly into the cerebrospinal fluid. The purposes for this study are to (a) determine what dose of mafosfamide can be safely given into the cerebrospinal fluid through an Ommaya reservoir (surgically implanted catheters used to sample cerebrospinal fluid and to instill medication into the cerebrospinal fluid) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) or lumbar reservoir; (b) look for side effects of drug treatment; (c) to study the pharmacology (how the human body handles the drug) when given directly into the spinal fluid; and (d) see if this drug is beneficial to the patient.
NCT01313429
Background: \- Certain types of cancers, including sarcoma and melanoma, have specific antigens (protein molecules) on their surfaces. Research has shown that producing an immune reaction to these antigens may be able to keep tumors from growing by encouraging the immune system to destroy the tumor cells. By creating a vaccine that contains antigens similar to those found on the cancer cells, researchers hope to cause an immune reaction that targets the cancer cells. However, more research is needed to determine the safety and effectiveness of this type of vaccine treatment. Objectives: \- To determine whether a tumor cell vaccine, given to individuals who have had surgery to remove malignant tumors from the chest, can cause an immune reaction that will prevent the tumors from coming back. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with cancer that has spread to the lungs, pleura, or mediastinum, and have recently had surgery to remove tumors in the chest. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical examination and medical history, as well as blood tests and imaging studies. * Participants will have the option to have leukapheresis to collect white blood cells for studies on how the body is responding to the vaccine. Participants who agree to have this procedure will have it before the start of treatment and after the sixth and eighth vaccines. * Seven days before the first vaccine, participants will receive the chemotherapy drugs celecoxib and cyclophosphamide to take twice a day at home. * Participants will receive the experimental vaccine as an injection in the thigh or arm, and may receive it in two shots depending on how many cells are in each vaccine. Participants will receive a diary to monitor medication doses and side effects, as well as additional cyclophosphamide and celecoxib to take at home as directed by the study. * Participants will have one vaccine every month for 6 months, and will have regular blood tests and imaging studies. After the sixth vaccine, participants who have successfully responded to the treatment will have two additional vaccines given 3 months apart. * After the eighth vaccine, participants will have followup visits every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for up to 4 years....
NCT02840994
The objective of the proposed clinical trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of CV301 in combination with Anti-PD1-Therapy in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical trial is designed to evaluate the possible enhanced antitumor activity of CV301 with Anti-PD1-Therapy. The rationale for combining CV301 with Anti-PD1-Therapy is based on the hypothesis that CV301 can induce specific immune response in the tumor, and that in combination, Anti-PD1-Therapy may augment the T cell-mediated immune response generated by CV301 by blocking the inhibitory signal of the PD-1. The trial will include a Phase 1 portion and a Phase 1b portion with 2 cohorts. The Phase 1 portion is a dose escalation part to assess the safety and tolerability of CV301 alone, prior to moving into the combination with Anti-PD1-Therapy (the Phase 1b component). The following Phase 1b portion of the trial aims to test the safety and tolerability of the combination treatment using a two cohort approach with cohort 1 receiving CV301 plus Nivolumab and cohort 2 receiving CV301 plus Pembrolizumab.
NCT02249182
The primary objective of the PK Lead-in Phase of the study is to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected pediatric participants. The PK Lead-in Phase will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of 10 days of dosing of LDV/SOF FDC in HCV-infected pediatric participants. The Treatment Phase will be initiated by age cohort after confirmation of age-appropriate LDV/SOF FDC dosage levels. Participants from the PK Lead-in Phase will immediately rollover into the Treatment Phase with no interruption of study drug administration. The primary objective of the Treatment Phase is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LDV/SOF FDC +/- ribavirin (RBV) for 12 or 24 weeks in pediatric participants with HCV. During screening, participants will receive placebo to match LDV/SOF FDC to assess ability to swallow tablets.
NCT01818596
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet on renal parameters at Week 24 in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced HIV-positive, adults with mild to moderate renal impairment.
NCT01863719
Colistin is amphipathic, cannot be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is administered intramuscularly, intravenously (IV) or via inhalation. In the case of pneumonia, aerosolized route of administration is favorable as it presumably delivers a high concentration of drug directly to the infection site. Colistimethate sodium is an FDA approved drug, however, its aerosolized use represents a new method of administration not currently FDA-approved in the United States. In this proposal, the inactive prodrug colistimethate sodium has been selected to use for aerosolization as it is better tolerated than colistin sulphate. It is a randomized, open-labeled Phase 1 trial of aerosolized and/or IV formulations of colistin as multiple doses over seven days. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of aerosolized and intravenous colistimethate sodium separately or in combination in healthy adult subjects.
NCT01697800
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a lethal solid malignancy with 5 year survival estimates of approximately 50%, and is associated with a high rate of systemic immune impairment as well as evasion of a tumor specific immune response. Preclinical and clinical data have shown that phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors (tadalafil) can be used to augment immune function in HNSCC patients through inhibition of the cancer-induced myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). A multi site phase II, randomized, prospective, biomarker endpoint trial to determine optimum timing and design of PDE5 antitumor immunotherapy (tadalafil) in conjunction with conventional therapy for HNSCC. 40 patients with biopsy proven HNSCC will be randomized to receive tadalafil (n=25) or placebo (n=15) for at least 10-14 days before starting conventional therapy and continuing until 90 days after completion of conventional therapy. Tumor-specific T cell responses will be assessed using HNSCC cell lines, in blood collected before initiation of tadalafil/placebo and at 60 and 90 days after completion of conventional therapy. Number and function of MDSC and Treg cells will be assessed before and at 60 and 90 days after completion of conventional therapy. Prevnar 13® vaccine will be administered 10-14 days after commencing tadalafil/placebo (before conventional therapy begins) and again at 60 days after completion of conventional therapy. Vaccine-specific responses assessed at 60 and 90 days post-conventional therapy will be used to measure the ability of tadalafil to augment immune response to vaccine.
NCT02296164
The Valchlor PROVe study is a multi-center, prospective, observational, US-based drug study that longitudinally follows patients with Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (MF-CTCL) who are receiving therapy with Valchlor. Patients will be followed prospectively for a maximum of 2 years from the date of signed informed consent (enrollment) until end of study. Continuation in the study is not contingent on continuation of Valchlor.
NCT00059592
Shingles is an infection commonly seen in children with a weakened immune system (immunocompromised children). The immune system can be weakened as a result of medications that patients receive for cancer or other serious illness or as a result of a bone marrow transplantation. Shingles in children with a weakened immune system may spread throughout the body and in some instances may be life-threatening. Acyclovir is a medication that is routinely used to treat immunocompromised children with shingles in order to prevent further spread of their shingles and to help them heal faster. Acyclovir is also given to bone marrow transplant patients to prevent reactivation of HSV infection. Valacyclovir is a new drug that is metabolized (broken down in the body) to acyclovir. Valacyclovir is given by mouth and studies done in adults have shown it to be more effective than acyclovir given by mouth. The purpose of this study is to * study the pharmacology of this drug (how the body handles this drug), * determine if oral Valacyclovir can be safely given to children with shingles, and * determine the type of side effects that occur when oral Valacyclovir is given to immunocompromised children.
NCT02341664
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
NCT00081289
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Chemoradiotherapy (combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy) before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different regimens of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy and comparing how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing surgical resection for locally advanced rectal cancer.
NCT03106428
To assess safety and tolerability, describe the dose-limiting toxicities, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the highest protocol-defined dose (maximum administered dose) in the absence of establishing the MTD, and a recommended dose for further evaluation of MEDI7247 in patients with selected hematological malignancies who have relapsed after, or are refractory to prior standard therapy, and for whom there is no standard salvage regimen available.
NCT02360488
The current study will test the effectiveness of a novel home-based telehealth system designed to improve motor recovery and patient education after stroke. A total of 124 subjects (the number may be larger depending on the rate of subject dropout) with arm motor deficits 4-36 weeks after a stroke due to ischemia or to intracerebral hemorrhage will be randomized to receive 6 weeks of intensive arm motor therapy (a) in a traditional in-clinic setting or (b) via in-home telerehabilitation (rehabilitation services delivered to the subject's home via an internet-connected computer). The intensity, duration, and frequency of this therapy will be identical across the two groups, with subjects in both treatment arms receiving 36 sessions (18 supervised and 18 unsupervised), 80 minutes each (including a 10 minute break), over 6 weeks. The primary endpoint is within-subject change in the arm motor Fugl-Meyer (FM) score from the Baseline Visit to 30 Day Follow-Up Visit. Arm motor status is the focus here because it is commonly affected by stroke, is of central importance to many human functions, and is strongly linked to disability and well being after stroke.
NCT03591094
The study population is comprised of adult subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation and are currently receiving background treatment with tezacaftor/ivacaftor for a minimum of 1 month prior to Day 1. The planned sample size is approximately 40 subjects. 20 subjects will be assigned to PTI-428 dose level 1 or placebo and 20 subjects will be assigned to PTI-428 dose level 2 or placebo. At each dose level, subjects will be randomized at a 3:1 randomization ratio. Subjects will receive once daily oral doses of PTI-428 or placebo for 28 days, while the subjects continue to receive background treatment with tezacaftor/ivacaftor per product label. The study drug administration period will be followed by a 14-day safety follow-up period.
NCT01371305
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneously (SC) administered multiple, escalating doses of BG00011 (a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the alpha v beta 6 (αvβ6) integrin, formerly known as STX-100) in participants with IPF. The Secondary objectives are to estimate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters after the 1st dose and after the last dose of multiple, escalating doses of BG00011 in participants with IPF, to assess the immunogenicity of BG00011 in participants with IPF, and to assess the effect of BG00011 on biomarkers isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and peripheral blood in participants with IPF.
