NCT06800339
The purpose of this research study is to find out if adding radiation prior to chemoimmunotherapy and surgery is effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have the potential for surgery. Standard of Care Chemoimmunotherapy: For this study, standard of care chemotherapy will be used. This means this is the type of chemotherapy that is normal for your cancer. In addition to the chemotherapy, you will also receive the immunotherapy drug, nivolumab. This will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks of total systemic therapy), prior to surgical resection assessment. This combination is made up of the chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin along with pemetrexed, paclitaxel or gemcitabine, and the immunotherapy drug is nivolumab. The chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, and the immunotherapy enables your immune system to attack cancer cells. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) SBRT is when radiation is delivered at higher doses over a smaller period of time. For this study, you will receive three doses of radiation delivered every other day, for three total days. The final dose of radiation will happen within 7 days of starting chemoimmunotherapy. You will be followed for up to 100 days following your last chemoimmunotherapy dose to monitor for potential side effects. Following this you will continue with your standard follow up with your doctor. During the standard follow-up time, study staff will review your charts to see if there have been any new updates with your cancer following treatment so they can tell how this treatment affects how long patients live and whether it helps avoid recurrence of the cancer.

NCT04231266
GNE myopathy is a rare genetic muscle disease characterized by progressive muscle atrophy and weakness. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes the enzyme that initiates and regulates N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) biosynthesis and glycan sialylation. Currently, there is no therapy available for this disease. N-Acetylmannosamine (ManNAc), an orphan drug in development for GNE myopathy, is an uncharged monosaccharide and the first committed precursor in Neu5Ac biosynthesis. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial the efficacy and long-term safety of ManNAc will be evaluated in subjects with GNE myopathy.
NCT04533451
This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced). 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed and carboplatin, 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. Giving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy may shrink the tumor in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT02457598
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of tirabrutinib (ONO/GS-4059) in combination with other targeted anti-cancer therapies and to evaluate the long-term safety of tirabrutinib as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted anti-cancer therapies in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoproliferative malignancies. This study consists of three parts: Dose Escalation, Dose Expansion, and Long-term Safety Monitoring. During the Dose Escalation phase, participants will be sequentially enrolled in a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation study design, to receive oral tirabrutinib combined with idelalisib entospletinib +/- obinutuzumab. The Dose Expansion Phase will enroll additional participants with a single B-cell lymphoproliferative malignancy disease type to further evaluate efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics. The Long-term Safety Monitoring phase will evaluate the long-term safety of tirabrutinib both as a monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. As of Amendment 9, all participants currently on the study who have no clinical evidence of disease progression will transition into long-term safety monitoring. Participants from the ongoing Study GS-US-401-1787 and participants who came off Study GS-US-401-1757 and Study GS-US-401-1787 but continued to receive treatment via named patient use (or individual expanded use) will be enrolled into the long-term safety monitoring group (Group VI). Participants enrolled in Group VI will continue the same treatment regimen in Study GS-US-401-1787 or named patient use (or individual expanded use). As of Protocol Amendment 8, the maximum treatment duration for any participant is an additional 6 years from the date of this amendment (ie. until November 2025). As of Amendment 9, entospletinib will be provided until 31 December 2020 to participants who are currently receiving entospletinib. Participants treated with entospletinib as part of a combination regimen with tirabrutinib will stop receiving entospletinib by 31 December 2020 but may continue to be treated with tirabrutinib monotherapy. Idelalisib will be provided as 50 mg tablets until 31 December 2020 and 100 mg tablets until study completion. Participants assigned to the 50 mg tablet will be given the option, at the investigator's discretion, to switch to 100 mg once daily idelalisib dose.
NCT03442114
The goal of the study is to understand how best to help parents of young children with sickle cell disease and their clinicians have a shared discussion about hydroxyurea (one that takes into account medical evidence and parent values and preferences). The study will compare two methods to help clinicians facilitate this-a clinician pocket guide and a clinician hydroxyurea shared decision making toolkit-in a group of parents of children ages 0-5 with sickle cell disease. The investigators hope that both methods lead to parents reaching a high-quality, well-informed decision. In addition, the team hopes to demonstrate that parents who experience a shared decision will have lower anxiety and decisional uncertainty. The researchers also expect these parents to be more likely to choose hydroxyurea and that their children will have less pain, fewer hospitalizations, better developmental outcomes, and higher quality of life. The project team hopes to show that the toolkit method is easy for clinicians to use and gives parents the support needed to make an informed decision.
NCT04223856
This study is being done to see how well two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work together to treat patients with urothelial cancer. The study will compare these drugs to other drugs that are usually used to treat this cancer (standard of care). The patients in this study will have cancer that has spread from their urinary system to other parts of their body.
NCT05611918
The investigators propose to perform serial detailed cognitive, motor, behavioral, and blood collection follow-up using longitudinal structured telephone interviews of an anticipated 350 ICH survivors enrolled in Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE) III and ENRICH trials to identify specific cognitive and motor impairment and to perform RNA sequencing to evaluate for evidence of chronic inflammation. The investigators' expected sample size in 2022 accounts for mortality attrition of 10%/year.

This clinical trial studies reproductive health program in patients with cancer. A reproductive health program may improve patients' understanding of reproductive risks and receipt of appropriate treatment to achieve their reproductive health goals.
NCT06259292
The Comprehensive HHT Outcomes Registry of the United States (CHORUS) is an observational registry of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). The purpose of this study is to better understand HHT, the symptoms and complications it causes, and the impact the disease has on people's lives. The investigators will collect long-term information about the participant, allowing us to understand how the disease changes over time, and what factors can influence those changes. Ultimately, this should help improve treatments for the disease. Another important goal of the study is to provide a way to contact people to participate in future clinical trials and other research. The registry will be a centralized resource for recruitment for clinical trials. People in the registry will not be obligated to join any of these additional studies, but if interested, can agree to be contacted if they may be eligible for a study. Participants will: * Be asked to provide permission to collect information from their medical records, including things like demographic information, diagnosis information, family history, test results, treatment information, symptoms, complications, lifestyle and other relevant medical information. * Be asked study-related questions by phone or at a clinic visit. * Be asked study-related questions every year after enrollment for up to 10 years or until the study ends. A member of the study team will communicate with participants by phone or at clinic visits to collect information regarding any changes to their health over the previous year/s including new test results, treatment information, symptoms, and complications from HHT.
NCT04640077

NCT04908189
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib versus placebo for the treatment of participants with active PsA who are naïve to biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs or had previously received TNFα inhibitor treatment.The long term extension period will provide additional long-term safety and efficacy information.
NCT04278924
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare disease that results in low levels of platelets - the cells that help blood clot. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from taking TAK-079 at three different dose levels. Another aim is to learn if TAK-079 can increase the platelet count in people with ITP. In addition to receiving stable background therapy for ITP, participants will receive an injection of either TAK-079 or a placebo once a week for 2 months. A placebo looks like TAK-079 but will not have any medicine in it. After treatment, all participants will be followed-up for another 2 months. Then, participants who received TAK-079 will continue to be followed-up for an extra 4 months. Participants who received the placebo and would like to receive TAK-079 may be able to do this in an extension period in the study.
NCT04865419
The purpose of the study is to the evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of AZD0466 as monotherapy in partciapants with advanced haematological malignancies and also to assess drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between AZD0466 and the azole antifungal voriconazole.
NCT04250415
Investigators from eight tertiary care, level 1 pediatric trauma centers have developed a protocol for the establishment of a formal, prospective multi-center adolescent clavicle registry, with designs for standardized radiographic assessment and the prospective collection of validated outcome measures and complications data, for all patients, ages 10-18, treated for clavicle shaft fractures, operatively and non-operatively. Eventually, the investigators would like to do comparative analysis for the operative and non-operative treatment arms, with additional sub-stratified analyses performed within these treatment arms by age and activity level. Among the primary goals of research projects stemming from the first arm of this registry, FACTS A, is to explore the hypothesis that non-operative treatment is associated with lower costs, greater safety, and equivalent or superior outcomes, compared with operative treatment, despite a national trend towards increasing surgical treatment. The second arm of the registry, FACTS B, will continue to investigate the same hypotheses, excluding cost outcomes, in patients only with completely displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.
