CDR404 is a highly potent and specific T-cell engaging bispecific and bivalent antibody designed for the treatment of cancers positive for the tumor-associated antigen melanoma-associated antigen 4 (MAGE-A4). This is a first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of CDR404 in adult patients who have the appropriate germline human leukocyte antigen HLA-A\*02:01 tissue marker and whose cancer is positive for MAGE-A4.

Evaluation of Neuroinflammation FNOS PET/CT in HIV (+) and (-) Subjects With OUD and Healthy Controls
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of inflammation in the brain between different groups of participants using a radioactive tracer called \[18F\]NOS. A radioactive tracer is a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body. This study will see how the tracer is taken up in the brain using an imaging scan called Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Participants will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic sca... Read More

A Study of Ficlatuzumab in Combination With Cetuximab in Participants With Recurrent or Metastatic (R/M) HPV Negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ficlatuzumab plus cetuximab compared to placebo plus cetuximab in participants with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) HPV-negative Head and Neck Cancer. The primary hypothesis is that ficlatuzumab combined with cetuximab is superior to cetuximab alone in terms of progression-free survival and/or overall survival.

Randomized Assessment of TcMS for VT Storm
Recruiting
Three-arm randomized clinical trial comparing two strategies of TcMS to sham stimulation in patients with VT storm. The hypothesis of the study is that TcMS will reduce the burden of VT in the 24 hours after randomization compared to sham stimulation and that TcMS with theta burst stimulation (TBS) will be more effective at reducing VT burden than low frequency TcMS.

Temple Health Chest Initiative (THCI 2.0)
Recruiting
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is highly prevalent globally, with considerable morbidity and mortality associated. In the US, it is the 4th leading cause of death, as well as contributing to significant costs on healthcare utilization including hospitalization. Population-based screening for COPD has not been recommended by the US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). However, LDCT screening for lung cancer in patients aged 50- 80 with ≥ 20 pack year smoking has been shown to improve... Read More

Larotrectinib to Enhance RAI Avidity in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Recruiting
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, less than a quarter of patients with lung metastases will achieve a complete response to RAI therapy, and this therapy carries the risk of pulmonary fibrosis and an increasingly recognized risk of secondary malignancies.
