NCT03063021
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a devastating eye disease and at present there are no known treatment options that can alter the rate of vision loss. In a series of studies in animal models, the effects of exposing cones in the periphery of the retina to a large excess of oxygen results in progressive oxidative damage to cone photoreceptors and cone cell death. Compared to control patients, those with RP showed significant reduction in the reduced to oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) in aqueous humor and a significant increase in protein carbonyl content. This demonstration of oxidative stress and oxidative damage in the eyes of patients with RP, suggests that oxidative damage-induced cone cell death in animal models of RP may translate to humans with RP and support the hypotheses that (1) potent antioxidants will promote cone survival and function in patients with RP and (2) aqueous GSH/GSSG ratio and carbonyl content on proteins provide useful biomarkers of disease activity in this patient population. Orally administered N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been found to be a particularly effective antioxidant that promotes prolonged cone survival and maintenance of cone function in a mouse model of RP. There is good rationale to test the effect of NAC in patients with RP. The first step is to test different dosing regimens to identify the lowest dose that is able to restore aqueous GSH/GSSG ratio and reduce carbonyl adducts on aqueous proteins. In patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, polymorphisms within the TOLLIP gene were found to influence outcomes of NAC-treated patients. The product of the TOLLIP gene, toll-interacting protein, is an inhibitory adaptor protein downstream of toll-like receptors, mediators of innate and adaptive immunity. The identification of the influence of TOLLIP polymorphisms on the effect of NAC in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis provides the rationale for collecting DNA and genotyping the same single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the current trial. In addition to this candidate gene genetic analysis, patient RNA will be collected and banked for future transcriptome analysis. The rationale for this is to identify gene expression changes that modify disease progression in RP. There is substantial variability in the rate of progression among patients with RP. A patient who loses all vision early in life can have a sibling with the same mutation who maintains vision into advanced age. This suggests that modifier genes can have a major impact on cone survival. This study will test the hypothesis that the level of expression of gene products that contribute to the antioxidant defense system may influence cone cell death and hence the rate of loss of visual field. It is also possible that gene expression differences may contribute to differences in response to NAC. For these reasons collecting RNA samples from patients will allow next-generation sequencing in the future to understand the transcriptome background on which the study intervention has been performed.

NCT01326715
Background: \- Contrast agents are drugs that make certain body areas or abnormalities show up better on imaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Mangafodipir is an MRI contrast agent with manganese that has been approved for MRI scans of the liver and pancreas. Because contrast agents with manganese have also been shown to be useful in studying problems with the nervous system, researchers are interested in determining if mangafodipir may be used for MRI scans of the brain or eye, two areas that often experience problems caused by disorders that affect the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis. However, more information is needed on whether mangafodipir will be useful for this purpose, or how best to use it in MRI scans of the eye and brain. To study mangafodipir more closely, researchers are interested in studying its use in both individuals with multiple sclerosis and healthy volunteers.

Objectives: \- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of mangafodipir in imaging studies of nerve disorders affecting the eye and brain. Eligibility: \- Individuals between 18 and 70 years of age who either have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or are healthy volunteers. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, and blood tests. * Participants will have up to 10 outpatient visits for screening and MRI scans over a period of up to 2 months. Participants will be divided into Eye and Brain groups, based on which area will be studied during the scans. (Participants who have available time may be eligible for study in both groups.) * Participants will have an initial MRI scan as part of the screening process. * At the first visit, participants will have a baseline MRI scan once before receiving mangafodipir. * Participants will have up to five MRI scans, with the following procedures: * Eye imaging group: MRI scans will be scheduled at specific times between 2 and 48 hours after receiving mangafodipir. Eye MRI participants will wear a dark contact lens and an eye patch for 30 minutes before receiving mangafodipir, and leave both on for up to 8 hours. The other eye will remain uncovered. * Brain imaging group: MRI scans will be scheduled at specific times between 48 hours and 7 days after receiving mangafodipir. * Participants will have a follow-up MRI scan 1 month after receiving mangafodipir. This scan is done to see how long mangafodipir may affect MRI images of the brain.

The intervention's innovative technology allows for the investigators' narrative videos to be presented along will reminder texts. It will be evaluated for use in waiting rooms and promises to overcome vaccination barriers among high risk but underserved low SES and minority populations.
NCT03085914
This was an open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 1/2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of epacadostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab and 7 different chemotherapy regimens described as Treatment Groups A through G below (see Study Drug and Background Therapies, Dose, and Mode of Administration). Phase 1 consisted of a 3 + 3 + 3 design intended to determine the MTD or PAD of epacadostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy; efficacy was also explored. Phase 2 was designed to enroll efficacy expansion cohorts to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of epacadostat at the MTD or PAD (as selected in Phase 1) when given in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Each efficacy expansion cohort was to enroll participants with 1 specific type of advanced or metastatic solid tumor. Additional cohorts (ie, the mandatory biopsy cohorts) were designed to evaluate changes in the tumor microenvironment in participants with any advanced or metastatic solid tumor who had progressed on previous therapy with a PD-1 or a PD-L1 inhibitor. No participants were enrolled in any Phase 2 efficacy expansion cohort, or in any Phase 2 mandatory biopsy cohort receiving Treatment A, B, F, or G. Phase 2 mandatory biopsy cohort participants received Treatments C, D, or E (ie, were included in Treatment Groups C, D, or E). Participants were assigned to a treatment group based on the chemotherapy regimen most appropriate for their tumor type.

NCT02370238
The Objectives of this study: The primary objective of the study was to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) (defined as the number of days between the date of randomization and the date of clinical disease progression (PD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1, as assessed by Independent Radiology Review, or death for any cause, whichever occured first) in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treated with the combination of paclitaxel and orally administered reparixin compared to paclitaxel alone. The secondary objectives were: * To determine overall survival (OS). * To evaluate objective response rates (ORR). * To determine median PFS (mPFS). * To assess the safety of the combination of paclitaxel and orally administered reparixin (referred to as combination treatment).
NCT00377156
RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether stereotactic radiation therapy is more effective with or without whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying stereotactic radiation therapy and whole-brain radiation therapy to see how well they work compared with stereotactic radiation therapy alone in treating patients with brain metastases.
