This phase II trial studies how well dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) works in measuring relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) for early response to bevacizumab in patients with glioblastoma that has come back. DSC-MRI may help evaluate changes in the blood vessels within the cancer to determine a patient?s response to treatment. Read Less

A Phase I/Ib, First-In-Human, Multi-Part, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Biological and Clinical Activity of DF6215 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with Advanced (Unresectable, Recurrent, or Metastatic) Solid Tumors; is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of DF6215 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and investigators are aware of the treatment being administered. Read Less

This is a first-in-human phase I/II study to examine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in subjects with advanced cancers. Read Less

This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid Master Protocol (Lung-MAP). The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes non-match sub-studies which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies. Read Less

Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is disabling. Research on frontline treatments for CNP, shows inconsistent outcomes and dissatisfaction among Veterans. Veterans and clinicians have shown significant interest in cannabis derivatives (THC, CBD) for neuropathic pain control, but there are no well-controlled trials guiding expectations for benefit and adverse outcomes associated with cannabis for CNP. Because Veterans are likely to present with pain and pain-related polymorbidity significantly differing from that of civilians, a well-structured clinical trial of cannabinoids for Veterans with CNP is vital.

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. Read Less

The objective of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that delivery at 35 0/7- 35 6/7 weeks in stable patients with gastroschisis is superior to observation and expectant management with a goal of delivery at 38 0/7 - 38 6/7 weeks. To test this hypothesis, we will complete a randomized, prospective, multi-institutional trial across NAFTNet-affiliated institutions. Patients may be enrolled in the study any time prior to 33 weeks, but will be randomized at 33 weeks to delivery at 35 weeks or observation with a goal of 38 weeks. The primary composite outcome will include stillbirth, neonatal death prior to discharge, respiratory morbidity, and need for parenteral nutrition at 30 days. Read Less

This study will evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12). Read Less

COVID-19 can trigger a dysregulated immune response, and previous studies have shown that immune modulation can improve outcomes in hospitalized patients. This trial is designed to determine whether intensification of immune modulation early in the course of the disease (while patients are on low flow oxygen) with abatacept (active arm) combined with standard of care (SOC) improves recovery as compared with placebo + SOC (placebo arm). For both groups, intensification of immunomodulation will be provided as part of SOC in case of signs of disease progression (patient requires high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or more support) and/or if the patient has rapidly increasing oxygen requirement.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the mRNA-1273.214 vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant of concerns (VOCs) in participants aged 6 months to \<6 years, when administered as a primary series in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-naïve participants (Part 1) and a single booster dose (BD) given to participants who previously received 2 doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine as a primary series (Part 2); and will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the mRNA-1273.815 vaccine, when administered as a BD in participants aged 6 months to \<6 years (Part 3) and when administered to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-naïve participants aged 2 years to \<5 years of age (Part 4).

The study's purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of troriluzole as adjunctive therapy compared to placebo in subjects with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Read Less

The investigators will conduct a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effect of a patient navigation intervention for Black/African American (B/AA) men who have sex with men (MSM) on PrEP initiation, adherence and retention in care. B/AA men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a once daily medication, can dramatically reduce HIV acquisition risk. However, social and structural barriers have contributed to suboptimal PrEP initiation, adherence, and retention in care among B/AA MSM. Our prior NIH-funded pilot study (R34MH109371; MPI: Nunn, Chan, Mena) developed and evaluated an Intervention to Retain and Adhere MSM in PrEP (RAMP-IT-UP), a brief strengths-based patient navigation program to enhance PrEP care outcomes among young B/AA MSM. The intervention was found to be highly acceptable among B/AA MSM and demonstrated preliminary effectiveness. Compared to control participants, RAMP-IT-UP participants were statistically more likely to initiate PrEP and adhere to PrEP based on pharmacy fill data and PrEP blood levels. Additionally, RAMP-IT-UP participants were more likely to be retained in PrEP care at the 3-month and 6-month clinical visits. Specific Aim #1 of this study will conduct a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT to estimate the effectiveness of RAMP-IT-UP in improving PrEP adherence and care outcomes among B/AA MSM in real-world community health center settings (CHCs). Specific Aim #2 will estimate the cost-effectiveness of RAMP-IT-UP among B/AA MSM attending CHCs compared to standard of care. The investigators will also determine the cost-effectiveness of differing levels of intensity of navigation services to prevent HIV based on data collected in Specific Aim #1. Our goal is to develop a cost-effective intervention that enhances PrEP care outcomes and reduces HIV incidence for B/AA MSM which will be relevant for CHCs across the US. The long-term goal of this work is to decrease HIV incidence among B/AA MSM, which aligns with federal Ending the HIV Epidemic and National HIV/AIDS Strategy goals. This application is led by an experienced team of investigators with a proven track record conducting HIV, PrEP and disparities research in real-world clinical settings. Read Less
