NCT03871257
This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low-grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and vincristine, 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. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine.
NCT05745441
Obesity and its metabolic complications are leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. Evidence is mounting that inappropriate timing of food intake contributes to obesity. Specifically, late eating is associated with greater weight gain and metabolic syndrome. However, the mechanism by which late eating harms metabolism is not fully understood but may be related to mis-timing of food intake in relation to the body's endogenous circadian rhythm. Conversely, harmonization of eating timing with endogenous circadian rhythm may optimize metabolic health. In this study the investigators will use gold-standard methods of characterizing circadian rhythm in humans to examine the metabolic impacts food timing relative to endogenous circadian rhythm.
NCT04368559
The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the prevention of invasive fungal diseases when compared to the standard antimicrobial regimen.
NCT03793166
This phase III trial compares the usual treatment (treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by nivolumab alone) to treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab, followed by nivolumab with cabozantinib in patients with untreated renal cell carcinoma that has spread to other parts of the body. The addition of cabozantinib to the usual treatment may make it work better. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known how well the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab after initial treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab works in treating patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
NCT03478514
The proposed study is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label phase II study of the combination of palbociclib and ibrutinib in patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma to evaluate the efficacy of this combination, with the primary objective of the study being to assess median PFS and the secondary objectives to include ORR, CR, DOR, OS and toxicity. Subjects will be enrolled and treated with palbociclib and ibrutinib with each cycle of therapy being 28 days. Treatment will be based on the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) from the phase I combination trial.
NCT07379684
The goal of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to learn about the safety profile of Amicidin-β topical solution applied directly into infected surgical or traumatic wounds during a surgical procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is Amicidin-β topical solution safe to test in larger clinical trials? 2. Is Amicidin-β topical solution absorbed into the bloodstream from local wound application? 3. Is Amicidin-β topical solution easy for the surgeon to use? Participants will receive either standard of care alone, or standard of care with intrawound Amicidin-β topical solution for the management of their wound infection. Researchers will compare these two groups (standard of care alone to standard of care with Amicidin-β topical solution) to see if there are any study drug-related adverse effects.
NCT07308886
Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that causes abnormal tissue to grow in the skin, lymph nodes, and other organs. KS is caused by a virus known as Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus. People infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) account for 80% of KS cases in the United States. Having HIV can weaken the immune system and this can lead to KS. Weaker immune systems may be measured by low T cells (a type of immune cell). CYT107 is a human protein, made in a laboratory, that may help boost immunity, specifically by increasing T cells, in people with HIV-associated KS. Objective: To see if CYT107 can shrink KS tumors. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HIV-associated KS. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Their skin lesions will be measured. They will have an x-ray of their lungs. Their ability to perform everyday tasks will be reviewed. A sample of lesion tissue (biopsy) may be collected from the skin. CYT107 is injected into the muscle of the arm, buttocks, or lower thigh once a week for up to 4 weeks. Participants will receive the shots at the clinic. Blood and other tests will be repeated at each visit. KS lesions will be measured and photographed on the 1st and 4th visits. Participants who improved after the first 4 weeks may have another 4-week treatment within a year. Follow-up visits will continue for 3 years.
NCT05777603
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be hard to treat and is often fatal. People with NSCLC commonly have changes in the bacteria that populate their lungs. These bacterial changes may aid tumor growth. Researchers want to find out if treating the bacteria, too, can help cancer treatment work better. Objective: To test 2 inhaled antibiotics (aztreonam and vancomycin), combined with a standard cancer treatment, in people with NSCLC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with NSCLC that has returned or progressed after treatment and cannot be treated with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They may blow into a machine to test how well their lungs work. They will have imaging scans. They may need to have a small piece of tissue cut from their tumor (biopsy). Participants will be treated in six 21-day cycles. They will visit the clinic to receive a drug for cancer treatment on the first day of each cycle. This drug will be administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The 2 antibiotic drugs will be in the form of a fine mist that can be inhaled. Participants use a device to take these drugs at home. They will inhale aztreonam up to 3 times a day and vancomycin 1 or 2 times a day. They will take these drugs during only 3 of the treatment cycles. Biopsies and other tests will be repeated halfway through and after the study treatment. Follow-up visits will continue for 1 year after study treatment.
NCT03965689
This phase II trial studies how well MLN4924 (pevonedistat), carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer when compared with other standard chemotherapy drugs.
NCT06810375
This clinical trial compares efficacy in postoperative pain management in thoracic surgery between erector spinae block versus liposomal bupivacaine injections.
NCT04777396
This study is done to find out whether the medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a "dummy" medicine which does not contain any study medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by an equal chance. The study will last for up to 173 weeks (about 3 years and 4 months). Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans. At 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sub-study will be performed as a part of the study. The sub-study will be performed on a selection of sites based on their experience with CSF sampling and willingness to participate in this sub-study. The endpoints related to this sub-study are exploratory only.
NCT06885281
A Phase 1b/2, Open-label, Multi-center Study of ZL-1310 in Participants With Selected Solid Tumors
NCT01841736
This randomized phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with carcinoid tumors that are growing, spreading, or getting worse. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT06541262
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational drug, silmitasertib (a pill taken by mouth), in combination with FDA approved drugs for solid tumors. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food \& Drug Administration (FDA), or any other regulatory authorities around the world for use alone or in combination with any drug, for the condition or illness it is being used to treat. The goals of this part of the study are: * Establish a recommended dose of silmitasertib in combination with chemotherapy * Test the safety and tolerability of silmitasertib in combination with chemotherapy in subjects with cancer * To determine the activity of study treatments chosen based on: * How each subject responds to the study treatment * How long a subject lives without their disease returning/progressing
NCT06586112
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ESK-001 works to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does ESK-001 reduce the severity of people's psoriasis? * How safe is ESK-001 in people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis? The study includes 2 comparators: a placebo control (a 'dummy' tablet that does not contain the medicine ESK-001 but looks just like it) and an active control (apremilast, which is a medicine approved to treat psoriasis). People taking part in this study must be men or women aged at least 18 years and have had plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months, currently moderate to severe. Participants will: * take drug every day for 24 weeks. * visit the clinic for checkups and tests. * fill out questionnaires about their psoriasis, itch severity, and change in quality of life. * be assessed for health issues and side effects, physical examinations, vital signs, heart electrical activity measurements, and psychological health. * provide blood and urine samples.
NCT04577352
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy (using the modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale \[mFARS\]) and safety of vatiquinone in participants with Friedreich ataxia (FA).
NCT06702878
This is a Phase 3 multi-center, group-randomized, crossover trial to compare nasal antimicrobial photodisinfection therapy (aPDT) with standard of care for prevention of surgical site infections in patients undergoing major elective, urgent, or emergent surgeries in a hospital setting. The main outcomes are to: 1. compare the efficacy, and 2. estimate the safety of applying nasal (aPDT) before surgery in reducing the incidence of SSIs within the initial 30 days after surgery compared to standard of care (SOC). Participants in the intervention group will receive aPDT prior to surgery on the day of surgery. Participants in the control group will receive standard of care surgical site prevention measures prior to surgery.
NCT05958316
Determine the effects of the Computerized Symptom Assessment Tool (C-SCAT) versus usual care on the primary outcomes of self-efficacy for symptom management and symptom self-management behaviors
NCT03914300
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab work in treating patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that does not respond to radioactive iodine and that worsened after treatment with a drug targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), a protein needed to form blood vessels. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab and ipilimumab may work better than the usual approach consisting of chemotherapy with drugs such as doxorubicin, sorafenib, and lenvatinib for this type of thyroid cancer.
NCT05558241
This study will compare the two imaging modalities (MRI and micro-ultrasound) during Active Surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). Progression to clinically significant PCa will be assessed by first taking micro-US targeted samples (while blinded to MRI results), followed by MRI targeted samples, finishing with 12 systematic biopsy cores. The primary goal is to compare microUS to MRI for the detection of ≥GG2 PCa at confirmatory biopsy. This study will also collect blood samples from participants to be used for future biomarker studies.
