Intratumoral PH-762 for Cutaneous Carcinoma
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intratumoral injections of PH-762 in squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, or Merkel cell carcinomas of the skin, to understand what the body does to the PH-762, and to observe how the tumor responds to the drug. Participants will receive four injections of PH-762 at weekly intervals, into a single tumor, followed by surgical removal of the tumor approximately two weeks later.

Integrated Care and Treatment for Severe Infectious Diseases and Substance Use Disorders Among Hospitalized Patients
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an integrated infectious disease/substance use disorder (SUD) clinical team intervention approach in patients hospitalized with severe injection-related infections (SIRI) who use drugs. The main question this study aims to answer is whether this intervention approach will be associated with lower mortality and fewer hospital readmissions. Participants will participate in the integrated SUD/ID care team intervention (SIRI Team). Rese... Read More

MRI and Biological Markers of Acute E-Cigarette Exposure in Smokers and Vapers
Recruiting
To examine vascular reactivity and inflammatory biomarkers via quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood serum, respectively, in a crossover study where active vapers (electronic cigarette users) and smokers will undergo three separate acute exposure-episodes of electronic cigarette +/- nicotine and tobacco-cig. The MRI exams and blood draws will be performed pre- and post-exposure. The results will be compared against baseline values derived from a group of non-smokers/non-vapers,... Read More

Study of Belantamab Mafodotin as Pre- and Post-autologous Stem Cell Transplant and Maintenance for Multiple Myeloma
Recruiting
This is a single-institution, single-arm, phase 2 study in which belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916), an antibody-drug conjugate targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), will be administered to patients with multiple myeloma prior to and following high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), in conjunction with standard lenalidomide maintenance. We hypothesize that administration of belantamab mafodotin as part of autologous stem cell transplant consolidation and mainten... Read More
