T-regulatory Cell Depletion with E7777 Combined with Pembrolizumab in Recurrent or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Recruiting
Epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer: nearly 22,000 women are diagnosed with OC in the US annually and 63% are expected to die from their disease. The 5-year overall survival rate is unacceptably low at 20-30%, with \> 50% of patients experiencing recurrence of their disease. Recurrent, platinum-resistant OC is characterized by a low response to chemotherapy (\<10-15%) and poor prognosis, with overall survival estimated to be \<12 months. Thus, there is an urgent...

A Single Dose, Open-Label, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety and Imaging Characteristics of LS301-IT for Intraoperative Imaging of Lung Cancer
Recruiting
The aim of this Phase 1b study is to investigate the safety and fluorescence signal of a single dose of LS301-IT, a novel fluorescence imaging agent developed by Integro Theranostics (IT), administered by slow intravenous (IV) administration in patients undergoing surgical thoracoscopy and resection of lung cancer. Safety is the primary objective of this study, followed by the evaluation of the fluorescence signal as it relates to dose level and dosing time interval.

Skills Group for Youth At Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis
Recruiting
This study is intended to test the feasibility of an integrated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills group for adolescents and young adults at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis. The current study applies a skills group drawing from evidence-based practices (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)) to those at CHR for psychosis. Up to 30 CHR individuals (starting with a minimum of 3 participants, N accounts... Read More

Cardiac Sarcoidosis Randomized Trial
Recruiting
Prospective randomized controlled trial comparing low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination to standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone) in patients diagnosed with acute active clinically manifest cardiac sarcoidosis and not yet treated. The Investigators hypothesize that low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination will be as effective as standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone), and result in significantly better quality of life and less toxicity than sta...

Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) With N-acetylcysteine
Recruiting
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease which often has debilitating and potentially life-threatening consequences. The cause of SLE is unknown and current therapies lack specificity and carry significant side-effects. We previously discovered the depletion of glutathione in lymphocytes of patients with SLE and associated this metabolic change with the elevation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. This study will titrate to tolerance during an initial 3 mo... Read More
