The purpose of this first-in-human study, CTMX-2051-101, is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of CX-2051 in adult participants with advanced solid tumors. Read Less

This study is researching an investigational drug called REGN7075 by itself and in combination with cemiplimab with or without chemotherapy. The study is focused on patients with certain solid tumors that are in an advanced stage. The aim of the study is to see how safe and tolerable REGN7075 is by itself and in combination with cemiplimab (with or without chemotherapy), and to find out what is the best dose of REGN7075 to be given to patients with advanced solid tumors when combined with cemiplimab (with or without chemotherapy). Another aim of the study is to see how effective REGN7075 by itself, or in combination with cemiplimab (with or without chemotherapy), is at treating cancer patients. The study is also looking at: Side effects that may be experienced by people taking REGN7075 by itself and in combination with cemiplimab with or without chemotherapy. How REGN7075 works in the body by itself and in combination with cemiplimab with or without chemotherapy. How much REGN7075 is present in your blood when given by itself and in combination with cemiplimab with or without chemotherapy. To see if REGN7075 by itself and in combination with cemiplimab with or without chemotherapy works to treat your cancer by controlling the proliferation of tumor cells to shrink your tumor.

Without intervention, approximately 70% of women diagnosed with GDM will develop type 2 diabetes mellitus in their lifetime. Abnormal results of a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed as early as 2 days postpartum are predictive of impaired glucose tolerance 1 year postpartum. The investigators hypothesize that use of the Malama smartphone application to optimize antenatal glycemic control will result in lower incidence of postpartum glucose intolerance, which may decrease long term risk of progression to diabetes mellitus.

This is a human laboratory-based, randomized, cross-over study in which buprenorphine will be administered to healthy volunteers (n=22) in 3 separate inpatient 2-night visits, at least 1 week apart. At each visit, the participant will receive a single dose buprenorphine, either 0.15mg IV, 8mg PO, or 16mg PO. The order for the first dose administered will be fixed to the IV dose, and the subsequent doses will be randomized and counterbalanced to 8mg or 16mg PO. Participants will be given naltrexone to produce opioid blockade to eliminate the risk for opioid dependence in individuals without OUD. Timed blood samples will be collected up to 24 hours.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat men who have biochemically recurrent hormone-naïve prostate cancer. Hormone-naïve prostate cancer is a prostate cancer that has not yet been treated with hormonal therapy including androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Biochemically recurrence (BCR) means that patients who received local treatment (surgery or radiation therapy) for prostate cancer now present with a rise in the blood level of a specific protein called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) but no detectable cancer or cancer spreading after a treatment that aimed to cure their prostate cancer (e.g. surgery and radiation). This may mean that the cancer has come back as the PSA level can be taken as a marker for prostate cancer development. Although men with BCR may not have symptoms for many years, proper treatment for BCR is important as the cancer may spread to other parts of the body in 7-8 years. In prostate cancer patients, male sex hormones like testosterone (also called androgens) can sometimes help the cancer spread and grow. To reduce androgen levels in these patients, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is often used. Second generation androgen receptor inhibitors including Darolutamide and Enzalutamide are available for the treatment of prostate cancer in addition to ADT. These inhibitors work by blocking androgen receptors and preventing it from attaching to proteins in cancer cells in the prostate. It is already known that men with prostate cancer benefit from these treatments. But besides benefits, Darolutamide and Enzalutamide are not without side effects. Clinical studies have shown that treatment with Enzalutamide increase testosterone level in serum, probably because it can pass blood brain barrier and goes into the central nervous system (CNS). The increased testosterone levels are thought to cause some specific side effects including so called feminizing side effects like overdevelopment of the breast tissue in men, and breast tenderness. Darolutamide has a distinct chemical structure and reduced ability to enter the CNS compared with Enzalutamide. That means that Darolutamide potentially leads to fewer and less severe side effects than Enzalutamide. In this study researchers will collect more data to learn to what extent Darolutamide affects serum testosterone levels in men with BCR in hormone-naïve prostate cancer. This study will consist of 2 stages. In stage 1 (also called lead-in phase) all participants will take Darolutamide by mouth twice a day. The study team will monitor and measure testosterone levels in the blood after: 12 weeks 24 weeks and 52 weeks of treatment. The second stage (also called randomized phase) is conditional and depends on the results from the stage 1. It will be conducted if after 24 weeks of treatment with Darolutamide in stage 1: a mean change in blood testosterone levels is below 45% and if the feminizing side effects (including overdevelopment of the breast tissue in men, and breast tenderness) will occur less frequently than previously reported. In the second stage of this study all participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned into two treatment groups, taking either Darolutamide twice daily or Enzalutamide once daily by mouth for a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 52 weeks. During both stages of this study the study team will: do physical examinations take blood and urine samples examine heart health using ECG examine heart and lung health using CPET check bone density using x-ray scan (DEXA) check vital signs check if the participants' cancer has grown and/or spread using CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and, if needed, bone scan ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. The study participants who receive Darolutamide in stage 2 can continue to receive their treatments as long as they benefit from the treatment. The participants from the Enzalutamide group can also switch to treatment with Darolutamide after finishing stage 2. The study team will continue to check the participants' health and collect information about medical problems that might be related to Darolutamide until up to 30 days of last dose for those participants who continue on treatment with Darolutamide.
