Filter by:This study is being performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug, clonidine HCl MBT, to prevent the onset of severe oral mucositis (SOM) in patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) who are being treated with chemoradiotherapy. OPC occurs on the back of the tongue or throat and is often treated by the use of chemoradiotherapy, where radiation is localized to these areas. Radiation to the OPC affected tissues causes the release of small proteins called cytokines that cause damage to the area surrounding the tumor including the oral cavity. This damage is characterized by the formation of mucositis which includes redness, pain and ulcers in the mouth and back of the throat. In addition, as more chemoradiation is administered to treat OPC, the inability to eat a solid diet (a Grade 3 mucositis) or to consume anything at all by mouth (a Grade 4 mucositis) occurs in many patients. Collectively, Grade 3 and Grade 4 mucositis is referred to as SOM. It is a frequent, debilitating side effect of chemoradiation in OPC that may cause patients to stop or interrupt their treatment, develop other side effects like the inability to swallow, or require the increased use of pain medications. OPC survivors who have successful treatment of their tumors often develop permanent swallowing, speaking and range of motion issues that may be linked back to the inability to eat and/or drink caused by SOM during their chemoradiotherapy treatment. Clonidine may inhibit the production of cytokines that cause SOM and clonidine HCl mucoadhesive buccal tablet (MBT) has been designed to deliver sustained high levels of clonidine in the oral cavity, potentially decreasing cytokine production and leading to a decrease in the incidence of SOM. Clonidine HCl MBT is a once per day treatment provided as a tablet that a patient may self-administer to the gums, where it sticks tightly to release clonidine over many hours. The primary objective of this Phase 2b/3 study is to evaluate whether clonidine HCl MBT is more effective than placebo MBT in decreasing the incidence of SOM.
To determine if indwelling Foley placement at the onset of the procedure, straight catherization at the conclusion of the procedure, or no catheterization produces the lowest rates of postoperative urinary retention after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIFs).
This is a multicenter, international, study to assess the natural history data from people with Batten disease by collecting both retrospective and prospective information about the motor, behavioral and functional capabilities of patients. The study initially has 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 (n ≈ 75) includes subjects with CLN6 Batten disease. Cohort 2 (n ≈ 120) includes subjects with juvenile CLN3 Batten disease. Additional cohorts for other Batten disease subtypes may be added in the future.
This study is designed to investigate the safety, PK/PD, biomarker and early clinical effects of repeat GEM103 IVT injections.
Randomized controlled clinical trial with intervention branch (management program cardiological-geriatric) and control branch (usual care) for fragile patients with decompensated heart failure.
This is a Phase 2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of INO-4800 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation (EP) using CELLECTRA® 2000 device to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in participants at high risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The Phase 2 segment will evaluate immunogenicity and safety in approximately 400 participants at two dose levels across three age groups. Safety and immunogenicity information from the Phase 2 segment will be used to determine the dose level for the Phase 3 efficacy segment of the study involving approximately 7116 participants.
People suffering from diabetes often have high blood sugar levels. Over time this can affect many organs including the nerves in hands and feet and can cause a nerve pain called diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). There are treatments for DNP but in many patients they do not reach a good pain reduction and have unwanted side effects. In this trial, the researchers will look at how BAY1817080 works and how safe it is. They will compare it to a placebo or another treatment for DNP called pregabalin. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. The researchers will use a placebo to learn if the participants' results are due to BAY1817080 or if the results could be due to chance. The researchers will also learn more about the right dose of BAY1817080 for these participants. The trial will include participants who have DNP and either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It will include about 440 men and women who are at least 18 years old. This trial will have 2 parts. In Part 1, the participants will take either BAY1817080 or the placebo. These treatments will be taken as a tablet by mouth twice a day for 8 weeks. In Part 2, participants will take BAY 1817080, pregabalin, or a matching placebo of either treatment. BAY1817080 and a placebo will be taken as a tablet by mouth twice a day for 12 weeks. Pregabalin and a placebo will be taken as a capsule by mouth twice a day for 12 weeks. The participants in Part 1 will visit their trial site 6 times. The participants in Part 2 will visit their trial site 7 times. At these visits, the doctors will ask the participants if they have any health problems, take blood samples, and do a physical exam. They will also ask the participants to complete questionnaires about their pain and other symptoms.
This phase I/II trial investigates the side effects of genetically engineered cells called FH-MagIC TCR-T cells and how well they work with atezolizumab in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer, urothelial cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The T cells given in this study will come from the patient and will have a new gene put in them that makes them able to recognize MAGE-A1, a protein on the surface of tumor cells. These MAGE-A1-specific T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill MAGE-A1 tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving FH-MagIC TCR-T cells with atezolizumab may help treat patients with triple negative breast cancer, urothelial cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer.
This is research study to find out if a drug called ADCT-301 is safe and to look at how patients respond to the study drug after an allogeneic transplantation. ADCT-301 will be administered on Days 1, 8 and 15 with blood tests following study drug infusion. Patients will have a bone marrow biopsy at the end of cycle 2/before cycle 3 to see how they are responding to the study drug. Patients will be followed for approximately every 12 weeks from the last disease assessment for up to 1 year from completion of therapy. There are risks to this study drug. Some risks include: decrease in certain blood cells, weight loss, loss of appetite, rash and Guillain-Barre syndrome, where the immune system attacks and damages nerves.
This is a Phase 1, 2-part, open-label, multicenter, first-in-human (FIH) study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of TAS1553 administered orally to participants ≥18 years of age with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other myeloid neoplasms where approved therapies have failed or for whom known life-prolonging therapies are not available. The AML population includes de novo AML, secondary AML, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-transformed into AML. Other myeloid neoplasms include accelerated phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and chronic or accelerated phase MPN-unclassifiable (MPN-U) and MDS-MPN. Blast crisis phase of MPNs are considered secondary AML and will be included in the AML cohort. Part 1 is a multicenter, sequential group treatment feasibility study with 1 treatment arm and no masking (dose escalation). Part 2 is a multicenter, two-stage, multiple group, dose confirmation study with 1 treatment arm and no masking (exploratory dose expansion).
