This is a Phase 1/2 multi-center, open label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate safety, tolerability, dosimetry, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of the targeted radionuclide therapeutic CAM-H2 in patients with progressive, advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast, gastric, and GEJ cancer with disease progression following anti-HER2 standard of care treatment. The study duration for each phase will be up to 18 months. The study is comprised of a Treatment Period, consisting of a maximum of 4 cycles (12 weeks per cycle) of study drug, and a 12-month Long-Term Follow-Up Period.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause histologically characterized by noncaseating granulomas. Genetic factors affect disease course, which is highly variable and difficult to predict. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of ACE and HLA genotypes on disease severity and progression in Danish patients with sarcoidosis.
The TRANSLATE study aims to better understand why tumors become resistant to standard anti-cancer therapies. New tumor biopsy and blood samples are collected after disease progression on standard-of-care anti-cancer treatment and compared to the initial (archival) tumor biopsy sample taken from the same patient. Annotated reports of results from clinical Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) gene panel tests of both tumor and blood are sent directly from the testing lab to the study physician for discussion with the patient during the study. Patients may participate in interventional treatment clinical trials at the same time as participating in the TRANSLATE study. Primary data will be publicly available after the study to support further research.
The primary objective is to assess the impact of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and risk factors for severe/critical disease.
The study aims to identify environmental factors and genetic (gene mutation and gene expression) changes, which influencing the course of the disease the new type of coronavirus infection COVID-19 in patients nationwide in a multicenter study. At first in the study will be performed 200 patients, selected for a homogeneous groups on the basis of the patient's anamnestic data, genetic testing. Following the interim analysis, based on the results, another 800 people are planned to involve.
Background: COVID-19 virus infection differs among people. Some people have no or mild symptoms. For others, COVID-19 is life threatening and causes damage to the body s organs. Researchers want to better understand the virus to learn how to kill it. Objective: To understand how the COVID-19 virus causes wide differences in how sick one can become from the infection. Eligibility: People ages 18-80 with COVID-19 infection Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. Participants who enter the study at the beginning of their COVID-19 infection will stay in the hospital until they are healthy enough to go home. Those who enter after they have recovered may need to stay in the hospital 1-2 nights to perform the study tests. Participants will have MRI and CT scans of the brain, heart, and lungs. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the MRI, soft padding or a coil will be placed around their head and chest. They may receive a dye injected into a vein. Participants will have an ultrasound of the kidneys and heart. Participants will provide blood and urine samples. They will provide nasal swabs. Participants will have a bronchoscopy. A thin tube will be placed through the nose or mouth into the airway. Saltwater will be squirted into the lungs and removed by suction. Participants may provide a spinal fluid sample. A needle injected into the spinal canal will obtain fluid. Participants will have lung and heart function tests. At various points after recovery, participants will repeat many of these tests.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase 3 study to evaluate if high-dose Octagam 10% therapy can stabilize or improve clinical status in patients with severe Coronavirus disease
COVID-19 is a global pandemic. So far encouraging results have been shown in different parts of the world with the utilisation of hydroxycloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin, and early studies into some of these, plus some with Vitamin C, have also proven beneficial. Vitamin D levels have also been shown to be an important indicator to the severity of symptoms in COVID-19 patients.
Older age is an independent poor outcome predictor among COVID-19 hospitalized patients . Among 72,314 COVID-19 cases, case fatality rate (CFR) was 2.3% in total population, 8% in people aged 70 to 79, and 14.8% in those aged 80 and older. In the whole population, CFR was higher in people with comorbidities, ranging from 5-6% in persons with hypertension, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes or cancer, up to 10% in those with cardiovascular diseases. Sars-CoV-2 seems to be able to induce a functional exhaustion of specified T and NK lymphocyte subpopulations, breaking down antiviral immunity. One possible explanation is that the immune system of elderly people, might be exhausted by chronic stimulation associated with comorbidities and more susceptible to this Sars-CoV-2 effect. As a result, in these patients, the activation of the innate immune system might fail to produce an adequate adaptive response (i.e., virus-specific CD8+ T-cells). This results in persistent self-induced inflammation that eventually causes mortality. The investigators hypothesize that transfusing convalescent plasma (containing neutralizing antibodies) at an early phase of COVID-19 infection could prevent or switch off the persistent inflammatory response elicited by the virus. The objective of this study are: - To demonstrate the superiority of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) plus standard therapy (ST) over ST alone - To prevent progression of pneumonia in COVID-19 patients aged ≥65 with chronic comorbidities - To decrease viral load - To raise anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titer in recipients
