A Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety & Pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System (PDS) With Ranibizumab in Participants With Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Compared With Intravitreal Ranibizumab; A Subtudy to Evaluate the Safety of Re-Implanting the PDS With Ranibizumab in Participants With DME
NCT04108156
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the PDS with Ranibizumab in participants with DME when treated every 24 weeks (Q24W) compared with intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W). The substudy will evaluate safety of re-implanting the updated PDS with ranibizumab and the refill-exchange procedures following re-implantation in participants with DME who were previously enrolled in the main Study, GR40550. Up to 100 participants from the main study will b... Read More

Safety of Belimumab in People With Idiopathic CD4 Lymphopenia and Autoantibodies (Phoebe)
NCT04097561
Recruiting
Background: People with Idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia (ICL) have lower numbers of a type of white blood cell called CD4 cells. White blood cells fight against infections. Low levels of CD4 cells may make a person more likely to get sick. There are no approved treatments for ICL. Researchers think a drug called belimumab may be able to help in specific situations. Objective: To see if belimumab is safe for people with ICL. Eligibility: People ages 18-70 who have ICL and are participating in NIH... Read More

Talazoparib and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Locally Recurrent Gynecologic Cancers
NCT03968406
Recruiting
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with gynecologic cancers that have come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy may work bette... Read More

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma
NCT03922724
Recruiting
Background: Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer. Blood cell transplant can cure some people with lymphoma. Researchers want to see if they can limit the complications transplant can cause. Objective: To test if a stem cell transplant can cure or control lymphoma. Also to test if new ways of getting a recipient ready for a transplant may result in fewer problems and side effects. Eligibility: Recipients: People ages 12 and older with peripheral T cell lymphoma that does not respond to standar... Read More

Outcome Inference in the Sensory Preconditioning Task in Opioid-Use Disorder
NCT03745339
Recruiting
Background: People with addictions often find it hard to choose the long-term benefits of abstinence over the short-term effects of using drugs. Researchers think this is partly due to parts of the brain involved in certain types of learning and decision-making. Researchers want to test these basic functions using a simple task with pictures and odors. Objective: To see if performance in a learning task differs between people who have opioid-use disorder and people who don t. Eligibility: A... Read More
