Dose-Ranging Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Study of AZD2373 in Participants With APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD2373 in participants diagnosed with APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD) who are homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for APOL1 high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2). The primary hypothesis to be evaluated is that AZD2373, compared with placebo, will result in a greater reduction in UACR as assessed by the relative change from Baseline in UACR at Week 30.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Gocatamig (MK-6070) and Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-6070-002)
Recruiting
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has relapsed or is refractory. Gocatamig is a new type of immunotherapy that uses a person's immune system to find and destroy cancer cells. Ifinatamab deruxtecan (also known as I-DXd) is a drug which binds to a specific target on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Durvalumab is a different type of immunotherapy that also destroys cancer cells. Researchers want to... Read More

Frequency of Selected Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Huntington Disease Gene Expansion Carriers
Recruiting
For participation in this epidemiological study, a single-day visit at the study site is required. Participants will be recruited from Huntington Disease clinics, and they will be asked to answer questions regarding their demographics, including sex, age, race and ethnicity, and their medical and medication history. At the end of the visit, a blood sample will be drawn to allow testing with a sequencing assay that is specifically designed for phasing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the... Read More

Bedtime Stories: Tailored Sleep Health Messaging for Caregivers
Recruiting
To date, there are very few established sleep health education models targeting caregivers of school-aged children from historically marginalized and/or low income communities. To address this significant gap, this project seeks to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program to improve sleep behavior. Bedtime Stories is a multi-stakeholder (health care providers, school-aged children, and caregivers of school-aged children) and a mu... Read More

A Study With NKT3964 for Adults With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors
Recruiting
The goal of the Dose Escalation phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity to determine the preliminary recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT3964 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of NKT3964 at the RDEs based on objective response rate (ORR) and determine the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

Study of Intralesional Cemiplimab in Adult Patients With Early Stage Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Recruiting
This study will test a study drug called cemiplimab to see if it can help treat early-stage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), a type of skin cancer. Cemiplimab works by helping the immune system to kill cancer cells. It binds to a protein called programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on the surface of certain immune cells. The main purpose of this study is to compare how well cemiplimab works compared to surgery, when injected into the lesion. The study is looking at: * The side effects cemip... Read More
