NCT03970304
This is an open-label, non-randomized study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how vaccines against typhoid fever affect the normal immune system and bacteria in the intestine. Patients having standard-of-care colonoscopies will be divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Vivotif typhoid vaccination then colonoscopy; Group 2: Colonoscopy, then Vivotif typhoid vaccination, then follow-up colonoscopy; Group 3: Colonoscopy without vaccination. The Vivotif typhoid vaccine used in this study is licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for travelers to developing countries. Volunteers will be asked to donate tissue, blood, saliva and stool samples for studying how the body responds to the typhoid vaccine.
NCT05445804
Cannabidiol is a compound found in cannabis plants that is well tolerated, has low abuse liability, and might be an effective medication to promote tobacco cessation. This clinical study will use a validated approach for screening tobacco cessation medications to determine if oral cannabidiol increases short-term tobacco abstinence, and evaluate mechanisms that might explain how cannabidiol alters smoking behavior. Results from this study will provide data on the therapeutic potential of cannabidiol for tobacco cessation.
NCT06546098
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare disorder in which a material called surfactant builds up in the lungs and makes it hard to breathe. In addition to shortness of breath, people with aPAP can experience persistent cough, overwhelming fatigue, unintentional changes in weight, chest or back pain, suddenly feeling out of shape, and general discomfort. Currently, there are no approved medications for aPAP in the United States, but the symptoms of aPAP can be treated with whole lung lavage (WLL). WLL is an invasive procedure that temporarily removes surfactant, and it can result in serious consequences like trauma to the lung, a collapsed lung, and prolonged requirement for artificial ventilation. Savara is studying an investigational drug called molgramostim nebulizer solution to see if it activates the cells that help clear surfactant from the lungs, which improves oxygen transfer from the lungs to the bloodstream. Molgramostim nebulizer solution is administered by inhalation using a hand-held nebulizer. In clinical trials, molgramostim nebulizer solution has shown improvements in gas exchange and patient reported outcomes. This expanded access program will make molgramostim nebulizer solution available to adult patients with diagnosed aPAP. Access must be obtained through the treating physician. Patients will dose molgramostim nebulizer solution 300 micrograms (mcg) once daily and be followed by their physician every 3 months to assess their clinical status and report any adverse events.
