Massachusetts Paid Clinical Trials

Patients with advanced HER2+ breast cancer on maintenance trastuzumab/pertuzumab or T-DM1 with 1st or 2nd intracranial disease event (brain metastases) and stable extracranial disease will be enrolled. They will receive local therapy with stereotactic radiosurgery ± surgical resection if indicated followed by enrollment. Patients will continue standard of care trastuzumab/pertuzumab or T-DM1 with the addition of tucatinib. Hormone receptor positive patients requiring endocrine therapy should continue. Study treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable side effects. Patients on trial with extracranial disease progression with stable intracranial disease should continue tucatinib into next line of therapy. Read Less

This phase 2 trial studies the immune response to GEO-CM04S1 (previously designated as COH04S1) compared to standard of care (SOC) mRNA SARS-COV-2 vaccine in patients with blood cancer who have received stem cell transplant or cellular therapy. GEO-CM04S1 belongs to a category called modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccines, created from a new version of MVA, called synthetic MVA. GEO-CM04S1 works by inducing immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 that would block the virus from entering healthy cells. The immune system also grows new disease fighting T cells that can recognize and destroy infected cells. Giving GEO-CM04S1 after cellular therapy may work better in reducing the chances of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or developing a severe form of COVID-19 disease in patients with blood cancer compared to SOC mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

A Phase I trial to determine the safety of targeted immunotherapy with daratumumab (DARA) IV after total body irradiation (TBI)-based myeloablative conditioning and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) with high risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LLy). Pre- and post-HCT NGS-MRD studies will be correlated with outcomes in children, adolescents, and young adults with T-ALL undergoing allogeneic HCT and post-HCT DARA treatment. The study will also evaluate T-cell repertoire and immune reconstitution prior to and following DARA post-HCT treatment and correlate with patient outcomes. Read Less

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept (PoC), Phase 2 study to assess the safety, PK, and PD of SC administration of HM15912(sonefpeglutide) in adult subjects with SBS-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF). Read Less

In this project, the investigators propose to demonstrate the feasibility of remotely-monitored, caregiver (or spouse)-administered, home-based tES (transcranial electrical stimulation) intervention to improve mobility in ambulatory older adults with recent falls. This is a four-phase feasibility study in older, ambulatory adult participants at risk of falling due to a loss of balance (participant faller, PF) together with a willing and able participant administrator (PA) that is available during weekdays to administer tES to the PF. Phase 1 is focused on the development and refinement of our training materials for home-based tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) for PF/PA pairs. The objectives of this phase: 1. Identify areas of confusion and challenges for older adults. 2. Refine our training materials to accompany the home-based tDCS system. In Phase 2, the investigators will complete a pilot trial in 12 PF/PA pairs to assess the feasibility of deploying home-based tES in larger clinical trials, and to prepare for the development and implementation of such trials. The objectives of this phase: 1. Determine the mean/range number of visits needed for in-person training. 2. Compliance and retention with the study protocol. 3. Safety/side effects of home-based tES, as compared to previously established laboratory-based tES data. The investigators hypothesize that adult PAs are able to successfully administer home-based tES to PFs. The investigators also expect that PF/PA pairs will exhibit excellent adherence to the intervention and that the prevalence and severity of reported tDCS side-effects will be similar to that observed in previous laboratory-based studies. In Phase 3, the investigators will complete a pilot trial in up to 18 PF/PA pairs; i.e., those who have previously successfully completed either Phase 1 or Phase 2. The study objectives/aims for Phase 3 are: 1. Further explore compliance and retention with the study protocol over a longer time period 2. Identify safety/side effects of home-based tES over a longer time-period as compared to previously established laboratory-based tDCS interventions. In Phase 3, the investigators hypothesize that adult PA's who have previously demonstrated the ability to successfully administer tES at home, will retain competence and compliance with administration over a longer period, up to 1 year. In Phase 4, we will complete a pilot trial in up to 18 PF/PA teams; those who have previously successfully completed Phase 3. The study objective/aims for Phase 4 will be to: 1. Identify Safety, effectiveness and adherence to home-based tES over longer period of time as compared to previously established laboratory-based tES interventions. 2. Further explore the proof of Concept for the home-based tES interventions In Phase 4 we hypothesize that adult PA's who have previously demonstrated the ability to successfully administer tES at home, will adhere with the study protocol over a longer period of time, up to 3 years.

The Computerized Registry of Patients with Venous Thromboembolism (RIETE) is a multidisciplinary Project initiated in march 2001 and consisting in obtaining an extensive data registry of consecutive patients with venous thromboembolism. The main objective is to provide information on the Internet to help physicians to improve their knowledge on the natural history of thromboembolic disease, particularly in those subgroups of patients who are usually not recruited in randomized clinical trials (pregnant women, elderly patients, disseminated cancer, severe renal insufficiency, patients with contraindications to anticoagulation therapy, extreme body weight, etc), with the purpose of decreasing mortality, frequency of thromboembolic recurrences as well as bleeding complications and arterial events. As an additional objective RIETE is also aimed to create predictive scores that help physicians to better identify patients with high risk of presenting some of these complications. The primary parameters recorded by the registry comprise details of each patient's clinical status, including any coexisting or underlying conditions, and the type, dose, duration and outcome (during the first 3 months of therapy) of antithrombotic treatment. Study endpoints are clinically recognized (and objectively confirmed) recurrences of VTE, major and minor bleeding complications, and death. Read Less

Patients are being asked to be in this research study because medical researchers hope that by gathering information about a large number of children with pulmonary hypertension over time, their understanding of the disease process will increase and lead to better treatment. Investigators believe that pulmonary hypertension in children is different than pulmonary hypertension in adults and this study will help us understand those differences. Read Less
