NCT05121376
This is a Phase 1/2, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of BMN 331 for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 Esterase Inhibitor (C1-INH) protein deficiency. The study drug BMN 331is identified as AAV5 hSERPING1, an adeno-associated virus (AAV5)-based gene therapy vector that expresses wild-type human C1 Esterase Inhibitor (hC1-INH), under the control of a liver-selective promoter, and is being developed for the treatment of HAE with C1-INH deficiency. The pharmaceutical form of BMN 331 is a solution for intravenous infusion.
NCT02107963
Background GD2 is a well-characterized tumor antigen in neuroblastoma, which is also expressed on osteosarcomas and some other sarcomas. T cells expressing 1st generation anti-GD2 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) were safe and mediated modest antitumor activity in some patients with refractory neuroblastoma. A 3rd generation anti-GD2-CAR (GD2-CAR.OX40.28.z.ICD9) has been produced and holds promise for increased activity compared to the 1st generation GD2-CAR already studied in clinical trials. As an added safety measure, the vector includes a suicide switch comprising a caspase dimerization domain (ICD9) that can be activated by a small molecule to induce death of the genetically engineered cells if they were induce untoward toxicity. Objectives Primary:Determine the feasibility of producing anti GD2-CAR cells meeting the established release criteria and to assess the safety of administering escalating doses of anti-GD2-CAR engineered T cells in children and young adults with GD2+ solid tumors, including neuroblastoma, following cyclophosphamide-based lymphodepletion. Secondary: 1. Determine if administration anti-GD2-CAR engineered T cells mediate antitumor effects in children and young adults with GD2+ solid tumors; 2. Measure persistence of adoptively transferred anti-GD2-CAR T cells and correlate this with antitumor effects; 3. Extend information regarding the prevalence and intensity of GD2 expression in non-neuroblastoma, non-osteosarcoma solid tumors in children and young adults; 4. If unacceptable toxicity occurs that is possibly, probably or likely related to anti-GD2-CAR T cells, assess the capacity for AP1903, a dimerizing agent, to mediate clearance of the genetically engineered cells and resolve toxicity; and 5. Assess toxicity of AP1903 if administered to mediate clearance of anti-GD2-CAR T cells. Eligibility Patients 1-35 years of age, at least 15 kg, with osteosarcoma or a GD2+ solid tumor (including neuroblastoma) that has recurred after or not responded to standard therapy and is deemed incurable by standard therapy. Design After apheresis to collect T cells for transduction, patients receive cyclophosphamide 1800mg/m(2)/d as a lymphodepleting regimen. A phase I cell dose escalation scheme will used at 4 dose levels (1 x 10(5) transduced T cells/kg; 1 x 10(6) transduced T cells/kg; 3 x 10(6) transduced T cells/kg; and 1 x 10(7) transduced T cells/kg), using a standard 3 plus 3 dose escalation design. An expanded group of a total of 12 patients will be treated at the highest dose, comprising at least 6 osteosarcoma patients. Patients will be monitored for toxicity, antitumor effects and persistence of anti-GD2-CAR T cells. Patients with a PR, SD may receive a 2nd cycle at the next higher dose level a minimum of 60 days following completion of the first cycle if eligibility criteria are met. A maximum of 36 patients may be treated on this study. Given that there is likelihood that some patients with non-osteosarcoma will not meet the criteria for GD2 expression to be eligible for enrollment, up to 72 subjects will be screened to enroll a maximum of 36 patients for treatment. Up to 2-3 patients will be accrued per month, and therefore this study may require up to 2-3 years to complete enrollment and treatment.

Study to Evaluate Viralym-M (ALVR105) for the Treatment of Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis (HC).
NCT03674307
The Canadian Australasian Randomized Trial of Screening Kidney Transplant Candidates for Coronary Artery Disease (CARSK) will test the hypothesis that eliminating the regular use of non-invasive screening tests for CAD AFTER waitlist activation is not inferior to regular (i.e., annual) screening for CAD during wait-listing for the prevention of Major Adverse Cardiac Events. Secondary analyses will assess the impact of screening on the rate of transplantation, and the relative cost-effectiveness of screening.

NCT04334317
It is hoped that TAK-071 will help people with Parkinson's disease to walk with better balance. The main aim of the study is to check if there is a difference in how participants walk after treatment with TAK-071. Another aim is to see if it improves how participants think and remember. At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants who can take part will be picked for 1 of 2 groups by chance. Both groups will have 2 treatments but in a different order. The treatments are TAK-071 tablets or placebo. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-071 but will not have any medicine in it. One group will take TAK-071 for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take a placebo for 6 weeks. The other group will take a placebo for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take TAK-071 for 6 weeks. The participants will not know the order of their 2 treatments, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable. The participants will visit the clinic at the beginning and end of each treatment for a check-up. 14 days after the 2nd treatment, clinic staff will telephone the participants for a final check-up.
NCT06273150
DRPLA Natural History and Biomarkers Study (DRPLA NHBS) is a prospective observational study that will lay the foundation for clinical trials in DRPLA. The aims of this project are: * To characterize the natural history of DRPLA in both juvenile- and adult-onset patients and study different modalities of biomarkers in this condition. * To identify genetic factors and biomarkers that could predict disease progression. * To provide a platform to support the design and conduct of clinical trials. This study has three arms: 1. Adult Participants: this arm of the study will require participants to be 16 years old or over to participate. 2. Pediatric Participants: this arm of the study will require participants to be under 16 years old to participate. 3. Remote Participants: patients that cannot or do not wish to travel to one of the study sites can participate in this arm of the study, irrespective of their age. Participants will have an annual visit for three years (baseline visit and two follow-up visits, three visits in total). Subjects who complete the whole protocol will be assessed on two consecutive days to reduce patient burden. This project will allow for a better understanding of DRPLA and its course, and therefore allow for future clinical trials on this condition to be more precisely and effectively conducted.
NCT04075682
This study will test whether cigarette package inserts (i.e., small printed leaflets inside cigarette packs) with messages about the benefits of cessation and tips for quitting can help smokers quit. To do this, the investigators will conduct a 2 X 2 between-subject experiment in which 380 smokers will be randomized into one of four labeling groups: 1. no inserts or pictorial health warning labels (HWLs); 2. inserts only; 3. pictorial HWLs only; 4. inserts \& pictorial HWLs. Smokers will be given a 14-day supply of their preferred cigarette brand with packs labeled according to their experimental group. Participants will answer a brief survey at the end of each day and four other times each day, using ecological momentary assessment approaches. The investigators will study whether smokers in each group experience different psychological responses and behaviors associated with smoking cessation.

The primary purpose of this study was to assess the noninferiority of ravulizumab compared to eculizumab in adult participants with PNH who had never been treated with a complement inhibitor (treatment-naïve).
NCT03969225
A functioning vascular access provides a lifeline for patients requiring haemodialysis but vascular access dysfunction remains one of the leading causes of excessive morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs in this group. Despite increasing numbers of vascular access trials, successful interventions to improve vascular access function have been sparse and compromised by highly variable, often selectively reported outcome measures of limited relevance to patients and health professionals. Through engagement of all relevant stakeholders including patients and caregivers, vascular access function, defined by the need for interventions to enable and maintain the use of a vascular access for haemodialysis, has been identified as one of the most critically important outcome measures for trials in haemodialysis. This prospective, multi-centre, multinational validation study aims to assess the accuracy and feasibility of measuring vascular access function part of routine clinical practice and across different clinical settings to ensure successful global implementation of this core outcome measure in future trials in haemodialysis.
NCT02525198
There is a dearth of research which takes a multi-compound approach to dietary interventions, in humans, aimed at improving outcome measures of cognition. Animal research in particular points towards fatty acids and flavonoids having a potentiating effect on each other, and possibly even being synergistic. Thus, study products will be administered in the present trial comprising both of these compounds, with a view to investigating their potential effects on cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or subjective memory impairment (SMI).
