This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial to determine the mechanisms of vascular healing. The study will evaluate subjects with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who require an endovascular intervention of the femoro-popliteal (SFA) artery to restore blood flow to the leg. Read Less

This partially randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of inotuzumab ozogamicin and how well it works when given with frontline chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may work better in treating young adults with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Read Less

This Phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant plus everolimus compared with the physician's choice of endocrine therapy plus everolimus in participants with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have had previous treatment with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6is) and endocrine therapy, either in the locally advanced/metastatic or the adjuvant setting.

Primary Objective: To assess the effectiveness, in terms of overall response rate (ORR) of isatuximab patients with RRMM in routine clinical practice, within 12 months To assess other effectiveness parameters such as progression free survival (PFS), PFS rate (PFSR), duration of response (DoR), time to response, time and intent to first subsequent therapy, rate of very good partial response or better, rate of complete response (CR) or better of isatuximab patients with RRMM in routine clinical practice To assess the profile of patients (demographic, disease characteristics, comorbidities and prior MM treatment history) who are treated with isatuximab in routine clinical practice To describe safety of isatuximab in routine clinical practice (based on adverse event \[AE\] reporting) To assess quality of life (QoL) using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30 item core questionnaire (QLQ C30) and the accompanying 20 item myeloma questionnaire module (QLQ MY20) Secondary Objective: Not applicable Read Less

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi during induction chemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy in treating high-risk adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi, a type of protein synthesis inhibitor, is a drug that is made up of the enzyme asparaginase, which comes from the bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi, and is used with other drugs in people who cannot take asparaginase that comes from the bacterium E. coli. Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi breaks down the amino acid asparagine and may stop the growth of cancer cells that need asparagine to grow. It may also kill cancer cells. Induction therapy, consisting of cytarabine, dexamethasone, vincristine, daunorubicin, methotrexate, and rituximab, is the first choice of treatment. Consolidation therapy, consisting of cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, vincristine, mercaptopurine, methotrexate and rituximab, is given after initial therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Methotrexate is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It is also a type of antifolate. Methotrexate stops cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Cytarabine and mercaptopurine stop cells from making DNA and may kill cancer cells. They are a type of antimetabolite. Daunorubicin blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. It is a type of anthracycline antibiotic and a type of topoisomerase inhibitor. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi with induction chemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating high-risk adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with a conventional chemotherapy backbone in pediatric and young adult participants with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia harboring histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A1 (\[KMT2A1\], nucleophosmin 1 gene (NPM1), or nucleoporin alterations in Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and to further evaluate safety at the RP2D(s) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric and young adult participants with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia harboring KMT2A1, NPM1, or nucleoporin alterations and safety at the RP2D(s) of JNJ-75276617 as monotherapy in a select low burden of disease cohort in Part 2 (Dose Expansion).

This clinical study will test a new type of cochlear implant known as CI632D. This experimental cochlear implant has been designed to slowly release a drug called dexamethasone. Dexamethasone works to ease inflammation and reduce tissue injury, which is common after any type of surgery. The goal is to learn if the dexamethasone in the CI632D implant lessens these reactions inside the ear following surgery and if this makes the implant work as well, or even better, in improving hearing than what would be expected with a standard cochlear implant. The study will be conducted in adults with sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve (the nerve that carries sound signals from the ear to the brain). The study participants will receive the CI632D experimental implant and will complete tests to see how well they are hearing and how well the implant is working. Read Less

A study designed tocompare progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with t(11;14)-positive MM treated with venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone versus pomalidomide in combination with dexamethasone. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sonrotoclax as monotherapy and in various combinations in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) and chromosomal translocation t(11;14). The study investigates sonrotoclax alone and in combination with dexamethasone and other agents, including carfilzomib, daratumumab, and pomalidomide. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to improve upon the TINI study treatment. The study will test the ability of a type of immunotherapy called blinatumomab to clear persistent leukemia. Blinatumomab targets CD19 which is located on the leukemia cells outer membrane. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate works in combination with two different chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Imatinib mesylate has been shown to improve outcomes in children and adolescents with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL when given with strong chemotherapy, but the combination has many side effects. This trial is testing whether a different chemotherapy regimen may work as well as the stronger one but have fewer side effects when given with imatinib. The trial is also testing how well the combination of chemotherapy and imatinib works in another group of patients with a type of ALL that is similar to Ph+ ALL. This type of ALL is called "ABL-class fusion positive ALL", and because it is similar to Ph+ ALL, is thought it will respond well to the combination of agents used to treat Ph+ ALL. Read Less
