Testing the Use of Steroids and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors With Blinatumomab or Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults
NCT04530565
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care.

A Study to Test Vicadrostat (BI 690517) Taken Together With Empagliflozin in People With Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease
NCT07064473
Recruiting
This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure.

A Study to Investigate Progression-Free Survival With Sonrotoclax Plus Obinutuzumab Or Sonrotoclax Plus Rituximab Compared With Venetoclax Plus Rituximab Treatment In Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CELESTIAL-RRCLL)
NCT06943872

Testing the Addition of Anti-Cancer Drug, Cetuximab, to Standard of Care Treatment (Pembrolizumab) for Returning or Spreading Head and Neck Cancer After Previous Treatment
NCT06589804
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cetuximab to pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and/or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This... Read More

Comparing Approaches to Assess Nitric Oxide-dependent Cutaneous Vasodilation
NCT06499844
Recruiting
The increase in skin blood flow in response to rapid local heating of the skin (i.e., cutaneous vasodilation) is commonly used to assess nitric oxide (NO)-dependent dilation and overall microvascular function. Historically, rapid local heating to 42°C was considered the standard approach for these assessments. More recently, many investigators have adopted rapid local to 39°C instead, based on its larger dependency on NO and therefore improved ability to quantify NO-dependent dilation without th...

Sensitivity of Angiotensin II Type II Receptors in Women Following Preeclampsia
NCT05937841
Recruiting
Women who develop preeclampsia during pregnancy are more likely to develop and die of cardiovascular disease later in life, even if they are otherwise healthy. The reason why this occurs is unclear but may be related to impaired endothelial function and dysregulation of the angiotensin system that occurs during the preeclamptic pregnancy and persists postpartum, despite the remission of clinical symptoms. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the mechanisms contributing to this lasti... Read More
