The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Larazotide (AT1001) versus placebo in children and adults 7 to ≤50 years of age who present with symptoms of Long COVID in the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigenemia. AT1001 (n=100) or placebo (n=50) will be administered orally four times a day (QID) for 21 days. Read Less

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Read Less

This is an open label, phase I, multi-center study aiming to assess the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Read Less

Single-arm pilot trial of the use of intrapleural saline irrigation to treat retained pleural infections for patients with contraindications to standard of care intrapleural enzymatic therapy. Read Less

The main goals of this clinical study are to learn if AMT-260 is safe and tolerable and works to reduce the frequency of seizures in adults with unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Read Less

This phase II trial studies whether adding radium-223 dichloride to the usual treatment, cabozantinib, improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone. Radioactive drugs such as radium-223 dichloride may directly target radiation to cancer cells and minimize harm to normal cells. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radium-223 dichloride and cabozantinib may help lessen the pain and symptoms from renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone, compared to cabozantinib alone. Read Less

The Apple Health Study aims to build a diverse and inclusive group of participants to help researchers advance our understanding of how signals and information collected from apps and devices relate to health and may be used to predict, detect, monitor, and manage changes in health. To enroll, US residents who have an iPhone can download the Apple Research app from the App Store and go through the introduction and informed consent for the Apple Health Study. This study is fully remote, and all are invited to enroll if the eligibility criteria are met. Participants will be asked to complete tasks and surveys, using their iPhone and Apple Research app which include: * Selecting the types of data they would like to share with the study such as health and sensor data * Completing tasks and surveys including areas such as personal demographic information, personal medical history, family history, and social determinants of health Read Less

This research aims to investigate whether symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath among the study population are arising due to a heart problem, particularly any reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle from blockages in the coronary blood vessels or inflammation of the heart using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that measures the amount of blood flow during a stress state meant to simulate vigorous exercise. At present, doctors use standard magnetic resonance imaging pictures of blood flow patterns to treat heart disease. The investigators want to study if detailed blood flow measurements, in addition to the standard blood flow pattern, could diagnose heart disease more accurately and allow more doctors to understand the severity of heart disease. Early research has demonstrated that detailed blood flow measurements may be more accurate in diagnosing heart disease in some patients, but doctors need more information to know how to use these measurements.

National guidelines recommend that older adults with cancer undergo a special health assessment before starting cancer treatment. This type of assessment evaluates physical function, nutrition, social support, psychological well-being, medical conditions (both cancer-related and non-cancer-related), and cognitive function. The results can help doctors make better treatment decisions and determine whether additional support services-such as nutrition counseling, physical therapy, or social work-would be beneficial. Even though these assessments are recommended, they are not typically used because they need to be performed by a specialist and can take over an hour to complete. Given these challenges, a 10-15-minute assessment called the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) was recently developed. The PGA can be completed by any healthcare provider and helps identify older adults who may need extra support alongside their cancer treatment. While the PGA has the potential to make geriatric assessments more accessible, the investigators do not yet know whether patients will find it useful or easy to complete. Additionally, it is unclear whether using the PGA will lead to more referrals for recommended supportive care services. This study aims to address these questions. The investigators will evaluate whether using the PGA impacts the number of patients referred to recommended supportive care services. Investigators will also evaluate how participants feel about completing the PGA, including how easy or difficult it is, and to assess the feasibility of implementing this survey on a larger scale. Finally, the investigators will use facial photographs and audio-visual data from the PGA to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence algorithm(s) to identify vulnerable patients who might benefit from additional supportive care services.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate against EGFR and HER3 with a topoisomerase inhibitor payload versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, and capecitabine) for the treatment of first-line metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptor (ER)-low, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative BC patients who are not candidates for anti-PD(L)1 therapy and endocrine therapies.

Phase 2/3 Pivotal Confirmatory Clinical Trial is a randomized, outcome assessor-masked, multicenter study, that will enroll fifty-one (51) subjects. Subjects will be enrolled in a 2:1 ratio to either the treatment group (n=34 subjects) or to an untreated control group (n=17 subjects). Phase 1 is complete and closed for enrollment. It was a multicenter, open-label, dose ranging/dose escalation study that enrolled 9 subjects. Read Less
