This study will examine the effect of a low dose of the 5HT2A agonist LSD (26 µg), compared to placebo, on acute and protracted mood states in individuals with depression. The investigators will assess the relationship between mood-related symptoms and EEG as a neurophysiological marker. Read Less

This study will examine the effects of a single low dose of the 5HT2A agonist LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) (13 µg) or placebo in individuals who are or are not explicitly told what drug they will receive. Although it is known that expectancies strongly influence subjective responses to most drugs, no studies have examined expectancies on response to a very low dose of LSD. This is especially important in the context of 'microdosing' of drugs. People who practice microdosing typically do so with strong expectations of positive effects, making it difficult to determine whether there is a pharmacological effect. To minimize expectancies in the laboratory, participants are usually not told exactly what drug they will receive (i.e., double-blind), but given a range of possibilities. In the present study, the study team will test half the subjects under single-blind conditions, where the participants (but not the research assistant) will know exactly what they are receiving. Other subjects will receive the usual instructions. Healthy volunteers will receive either a marginally detectable dose of LSD (13 micrograms) or placebo, under conditions where they i) know for sure what drug they are receiving or ii) where the identity of the drug is uncertain. Four groups of subjects (N=12 each) will attend single 4-hour laboratory session. The study team will examine subjective and behavioral responses to the drug in each of four conditions (Known-Drug; Known-Placebo; Uncertain-Drug; Uncertain-Placebo). Read Less

Determine the difference in the modified Rankin score at 16 weeks in participants with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis treated with "first-line" immunomodulatory therapies provided as standard-of-care, and either inebilizumab (investigational agent) or placebo. Read Less

Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical investigation of the NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System (NEXUSTM) for the treatment of thoracic aortic lesions involving the aortic arch with a proximal landing zone, native or previously implanted surgical graft, in the ascending aorta and with a brachiocephalic trunk native landing zone.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present in the tumor microenvironment of most epithelial cancers, whereas limited expression of FAP is observed in normal tissues. In some cancers of mesenchymal origin, notably sarcoma and mesothelioma, FAP expression has also been observed on the tumor cells themselves. Given the restricted expression profile, FAP is a promising target for peptide-targeted radionuclide imaging and therapeutic agents. Phase 1 of this study is designed to evaluate the safety and establish the recommended intravenous (IV) Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 monotherapy in participants with FAP expressing solid tumors. Phase 2 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 as monotherapy in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast cancer (BC) and in combination with chemotherapy in participants with untreated PDAC or relapsed NSCLC. Participants in both Phase 1 and 2 will be selected for treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 based on \[68Ga\]Ga FAP 2286 imaging for determining tumor FAP expression. Read Less

Claudin 18.2 protein, or CLDN18.2 is a protein found on cells in the digestive system. It is also found on some tumors. Researchers are looking at ways to attack CLDN18.2 to help control tumors. ASP2138 is thought to bind to CLDN18.2 and a protein on a type of immune cell called a T-cell. This "tells" the immune system to attack the tumor. ASP2138 is a potential treatment for people with stomach cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJ cancer) or pancreatic cancer. GEJ is where the tube that carries food (esophagus) joins the stomach. Before ASP2138 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. In this study, ASP2138 will either be given by itself, or given together with standard treatments for gastric, GEJ and pancreatic cancer. Pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX6, and ramucirumab and paclitaxel are standard treatments for gastric and GEJ cancer. mFOLFIRINOX is a standard treatment for pancreatic cancer. This information will help find a suitable dose of ASP2138 given by itself and together with the standard cancer treatments and to check for potential medical problems from the treatments. The main aims of the study are: * To check the safety of ASP2138 and how well people can tolerate medical problems during the study. * To find a suitable dose of ASP2138 to be used later in the study. * These are done for ASP2138 given by itself and when given together with the standard cancer treatments. Adults 18 years or older with stomach cancer, GEJ cancer, or pancreatic cancer can take part. Their cancer is locally advanced unresectable or metastatic. Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. There should also be the CLDN18.2 marker in a tumor sample. People cannot take part if they need to take medicines to suppress their immune system, have blockages or bleeding in their gut, have specific uncontrollable cancers, have specific infections, have a condition such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) which is when the body over-reacts to a "trigger" such as infection, or have a specific heart condition ("New York Heart Association Class III or IV"). Phase 1: Lower to higher doses of ASP2138 * ASP2138 is either given through a vein (intravenous infusion) or just under the skin (subcutaneous injection). * Different small groups are given lower to higher doses of ASAP2138. * ASP2138 is either given by itself, or given with 1 of 3 standard treatments: * Pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX6 (first treatment for gastric GEJ cancer) * Ramacirumab and paclitaxel (Second treatment for gastric or GEJ cancer) * ASP2138 with mFOLFIRINOX (first treatment for pancreatic cancer) Phase 1b: doses of ASP2138 worked out from Phase 1 * ASP2138 is either given through a vein or just under the skin. This depends on the findings from Phase 1. * People with gastric cancer, GEJ cancer or pancreatic cancer are given doses of ASP2138, worked out from Phase 1. * This includes doses of ASP2138 given by itself and ASP2138 given with the standard cancer treatments. * The standard cancer treatments given depends on the type of cancer they have. End of treatment visit: This is 7 days after final dose of study treatment or if the study doctor decides to stop the person's treatment. People who have locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer will not receive ASP2138 by itself. Read Less

The goal of the study is to collect data on patients treated outside of a clinical trial (in routine clinical practice) with standard of care osimertinib with or without chemotherapy in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) to better understand the safety and effectiveness of these standard of care regimens.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood pressure-lowering effect of tonlamarsen in adult participants who, despite taking 2 or more antihypertensive medications, have not achieved their target blood pressure (BP). Read Less

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the role of blood pressure (BPV) variability in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To determine the association of BPV with functional/cognitive outcome after ischemic stroke. 2. To determine a pathophysiologic mechanism of BPV's deleterious effect on functional outcome. 3. To evaluate potential treatment targets to pharmacologically reduce BPV after ischemic stroke. Read Less
