NCT02523014
This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098, and capivasertib work in treating patients with meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT03994796
This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for patients with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. Several genes have been found to be altered or mutated in brain metastases such as NTRK, ROS1, CDK, PI3K, or KRAS G12C. Medications that target these genes such as abemaciclib, paxalisib, entrectinib and adagrasib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Genetic testing may help doctors tailor treatment for each mutation.
NCT04379115

NCT06745076
This phase II trial tests how well personalized reduction of chemotherapy (nivolumab, doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) based on circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) evaluation works for treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nivolumab, doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine, 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. Many types of tumors tend to lose cells or release different types of cellular products including their DNA, which is referred to as ctDNA, into the bloodstream before changes can be seen on scans. Health care providers can measure the level of ctDNA in blood or other bodily fluids and, based on the result, assign patients to a reduced number of chemotherapy treatments or the standard number of chemotherapy treatments. Using ctDNA to assign a personalized reduction of chemotherapy may be effective in treating patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma.
NCT06987890
National guidelines recommend that older adults with cancer undergo a special health assessment before starting cancer treatment. This type of assessment evaluates physical function, nutrition, social support, psychological well-being, medical conditions (both cancer-related and non-cancer-related), and cognitive function. The results can help doctors make better treatment decisions and determine whether additional support services-such as nutrition counseling, physical therapy, or social work-would be beneficial. Even though these assessments are recommended, they are not typically used because they need to be performed by a specialist and can take over an hour to complete. Given these challenges, a 10-15-minute assessment called the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) was recently developed. The PGA can be completed by any healthcare provider and helps identify older adults who may need extra support alongside their cancer treatment. While the PGA has the potential to make geriatric assessments more accessible, the investigators do not yet know whether patients will find it useful or easy to complete. Additionally, it is unclear whether using the PGA will lead to more referrals for recommended supportive care services. This study aims to address these questions. The investigators will evaluate whether using the PGA impacts the number of patients referred to recommended supportive care services. Investigators will also evaluate how participants feel about completing the PGA, including how easy or difficult it is, and to assess the feasibility of implementing this survey on a larger scale. Finally, the investigators will use facial photographs and audio-visual data from the PGA to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence algorithm(s) to identify vulnerable patients who might benefit from additional supportive care services; namely, FaceAge, a validated deep learning model capable of estimating biological age from still facial images.
NCT07269808

NCT03601078
This study is a multi-cohort, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bb2121 in participants with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) (Cohort 1), in participants with RRMM who receive bridging therapy with talquetamab (Cohort 1b), in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) having progressed within 18 months of initial treatment with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (Cohort 2a) and without ASCT (Cohort 2b) or, in participants with inadequate response post ASCT during initial treatment (Cohort 2c) and the efficacy and safety of bb2121 used in combination with lenalidomide maintenance in participants with suboptimal response post ASCT (Cohort 3). Approximately 248 participants will be enrolled into one of three cohorts. Cohort 1 (including cohort 1b) will enroll approximately 126 RRMM subjects with ≥ 3 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimens. Cohort 2a will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects, with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2b will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy not including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2c will enroll approximately 30 MM subjects with inadequate response to ASCT during their initial anti-myeloma therapy. The cohorts will start in parallel and independently. Cohort 3 will enroll approximately 30 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) participants with suboptimal response to ASCT.
NCT04192591

NCT04818424
Previous studies of the exosuit technology have culminated in strong evidence for the gait-restorative effects of soft robotic exosuits for patients post-stroke by means of substitution for lost function. The present study builds on this work by suggesting that an exosuit's immediate gait-restorative effects can be leveraged during high intensity gait training to produce long-lasting gait restoration. Current gait training efforts are focused on either quality or intensity. They focus on gait quality often by reducing the training intensity to allow patients to achieve a more normal gait. In contrast, efforts focused on training intensity push participants without focusing on the quality of their movements. These intervention paradigms generally fail to substantially impact community mobility. In this study, the investigators posit that exosuits can uniquely enable an integration of these paradigms (ie, high intensity gait training that promotes quality of movements). For this protocol, exosuits developed in collaboration with an industry partner, ReWalk™ Robotics will be used. To evaluate the effects of REAL gait training, the investigators will use clinical measures of motor and gait function, locomotor mechanics and energetics, and physiologic measures that may infer on motor learning. The spectrum of behavioral and physiologic data that we will collect will enable us to understand more comprehensively the gait-restorative effects of REAL.
NCT05186753
This is a multi-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical study comparing the safety and efficacy of bezuclastinib (CGT9486) plus best supportive care (BSC) with placebo plus BSC in patients with nonadvanced systemic mastocytosis (NonAdvSM), including indolent systemic mastocytosis and smoldering systemic mastocytosis, whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by BSC. This study will be conducted in three parts. Patients in Parts 1a, 1b and 2 will receive bezuclastinib or placebo, and may roll over onto Part 3 to receive treatment with bezuclastinib. Additionally, a substudy of subjects will investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bezuclastinib in patients who are experiencing inadequate symptom control with avapritinib.
NCT05610787
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the device performance and monitor the safety and effectiveness of the Berlin Heart EXCOR Active Driving System while being used with the approved EXCOR Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device. EXCOR Active Driving System is intended for use with the approved EXCOR Pediatric VAD. The EXCOR Pediatric VAD is intended to provide mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to cardiac transplantation for pediatric patients. Pediatric candidates with severe isolated left ventricular or biventricular dysfunction who are candidates for cardiac transplant and require circulatory support may be treated using the EXCOR Pediatric. EXCOR Active is intended for use in a clinical setting. EXCOR Active can be used in any kind of hospital unit (e.g. OR, ICU, intermediate care unit or general care unit). The driving unit may be moved between clinical units using the caddy or baby buggy; however, a patient must always be accompanied by a person trained in the use of the manual pump and emergency procedures during transport in the event of an emergency. The driving unit can be transported during operation.

NCT07280013
The main purpose of the study is to understand the safety and tolerability of cemsidomide when given along with elranatamab in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The first part of the study will evaluate different dose levels of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab in a limited number of subjects. Approximately 3 different dose levels of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab may be explored. Once a dose level is determined safe, additional subjects may be enrolled through expansion of the dose level. This expansion will provide further exploration of the safety and evaluation of preliminary antimyeloma activity. Cemsidomide will be taken orally each cycle for 14 days on/14 days off (1 cycle=28 days). Elranatamab will be administered by subcutaneous injection twice a month. Dexamethasone will be administered weekly until a confirmed response but no longer than 4 cycles.

As of June 4, 2024, this study is no longer accepting any newly screened participants.
NCT05285982
This study is open to children and adolescents with interstitial lung disease (ILD) that causes lung fibrosis. This is a study for people who took part in a previous study called InPedILD (study 1199-0337) and for people who are between 6 and 17 years old (in France, between 12 and 17 years old) and have fibrosing ILD. This study tests a medicine called nintedanib. Nintedanib is already used to treat different types of lung fibrosis in adults. The purpose of the study is to find out how well long-term treatment with nintedanib is tolerated in children and adolescents. All participants take nintedanib capsules twice a day. Participants coming from the previous study are in this study for at least 3 years or until nintedanib or other treatment options become available outside of this study. New participants are in the study until the overall end of study meaning for at least 1.5 years. Participants visit the study site about 15 times for a study participation of 3 years. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants.
