A Phase I open-label, multicenter study, to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of treating children with newly diagnosed DIPG or recurrent neuroblastoma with molecular targeted therapy in combination with adoptive cell therapy (Total tumor mRNA-pulsed autologous Dendritic Cells (DCs) (TTRNA-DCs), Tumor-specific ex vivo expanded autologous lymphocyte transfer (TTRNA-xALT) and Autologous G-CSF mobilized Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)).

Phase III, multicenter, randomized study with two arms (1:1 ratio) enrolling patients with AML relapsed/refractory after 2, 3, or 4 prior induction regimens: Experimental arm: DFP-10917 14-day continuous intravenous (IV) infusion at a dose of 6 mg/m²/day followed by a 14-day resting period per 28-day cycles. Control arm: Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax Combination Regimens) or Intensive Reinduction (High and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens), depending on the patient's prior induction treatment.

This study collects and stores tissue and blood samples from patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help scientists create new and better models to learn about cancer and to test new cancer drugs. Read Less

This pilot interventional study evaluates the change from baseline to post-intervention in resilience and other patient-reported outcomes for individuals with a recent diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) participating in the Promoting Resilience in Women with Breast Cancer (PRISM) intervention, overall and stratified by race, and to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the PRISM intervention in the MBC population. Black women with MBC have shorter survival from the time of metastatic diagnosis to death, compared to White women with clinically similar disease, and may have more rapid declines in quality of life over time. Adverse social determinants of health may play a role in these outcome disparities, due to both social barriers in accessing care, and through direct stress-mediated biological effects on the host and tumor microenvironment. Interventions to reduce stress and optimize resilience during treatment of MBC may improve quality of life and even improve disease outcomes; however, feasibility of face-to-face intervention during intensive medical treatment is limited. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a remotely delivered resilience intervention, PRISM, already proven effective in other cancer settings, for MBC patients, and to gather preliminary efficacy data for a future randomized trial.

The primary objective of this study is to access the efficacy of ALXN2220 in the treatment of adult participants with ATTR-CM by evaluating the difference between the ALXN2220 and placebo groups as assessed by the total occurrences of all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiovascular (CV) clinical events.

The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.

The goal of this treatment study is to learn about the mental health, substance use and physical health outcomes associated with participating in the EASE holistic behavioral health and wellness program for individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ and/or living with HIV. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do important health outcomes, including substance use, mental health and social support related outcomes of individuals living with HIV and/or identifying as LGBTQ who participated in the holistic behavioral health and wellness program change after study participation? 2. Does a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of different subpopulations including 1) older (40+) PLWH and/or LGBTQ individuals with or at risk for additional health comorbidities and 2) PLWH and/or LGBTQ young adults (18-40) improve health outcomes including improvement in health and health behaviors . Participants will be asked to: * participate in 6 months of behavioral health treatment tailored to their needs, which may include individual counseling, group counseling, case management, peer support, and related education. * Complete surveys at the time of study entry and 6 months later to measure changes in health outcomes over time.
