A Phase II study of anitocabtagene-autoleucel (formerly CART-ddBCMA) for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Anitocabtagene-autoleucel is a BCMA-directed CAR-T cell therapy. Read Less

This clinical trial keeps track of and collects follow-up information from patients who are currently enrolled on or have participated in a Children's Oncology Group study. Developing a way to keep track of patients who have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies may allow doctors learn more about the long-term effects of cancer treatment and help them reduce problems related to treatment and improve patient quality of life.

This is an observational precision oncology study designed to collect and analyze data that allows us to characterize the safety and efficacy of several different mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor (MEKi) -based treatment strategies and the feasibility of administering MEKi combination therapies to patients with KRAS G12R mutated advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Study patients will receive Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) - pulsed reduced dose rate (PRDR) within 14 days of registration. All patients will receive single daily fractions using 3D conformal radiotherapy. A dose of 30 Gy in 10 fractions will be delivered using the PRDR technique. Read Less

A prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, non-randomized, multicenter Phase 2 study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with TIL LN-144 (Lifileucel)/LN-145 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors or TIL LN-144 (Lifileucel)/LN-145/LN-145-S1 as a single agent therapy. Read Less

Attentional bias has primarily been investigated as a primary cognitive etiology of social anxiety symptoms. Previous research has found that individuals with high social anxiety showed facilitated attentional engagement to threat stimuli or delayed disengagement of attention from threat. Attentional Bias Modification Training (ABMT) was developed through applying the attentional mechanism in social anxiety. During ABMT, participants are deliberately induced to shift their attention away from threat stimuli and toward neutral stimuli. Despite its proven effectiveness, a recent meta-study found that the effect size of ABMT is significant but too small. As a result, the current study focuses on improving the existing ABMT by incorporating integrative factors into attention training. The current study aims to integrate bottom-up and top-down cognitive processes in ABMT. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions (active or placebo training) and will complete the ABMT for three weeks. The ABMT's efficacy will be assessed by comparing pre- and post-training measures. Read Less

This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab in combination with a multi-kinase inhibitor (cabozantinib or lenvatinib) compared to multi-kinase inhibitor alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib and lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with cabozantinib or lenvatinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with liver cancer. Read Less

This is a single arm phase II study that will enroll a minimum of 47 subjects with a maximum of 51. All patients will have a confirmed diagnosis of chronic phase chronic myeloid Leukemia and must have previously attempted to discontinue Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (TKI). All patients must have restarted the same TKI they were on prior to discontinuation at the time of relapse in order to be eligible for this trial. Read Less

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of KPG-818 in subjects with hematological malignancies. Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled for dose escalation of 4 dose levels. Indication: Hematological malignancies (multiple myeloma \[MM\], mantle cell lymphoma \[MCL\], diffuse large B-cell lymphoma \[DLBCL\], adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma \[ATL\], and indolent non Hodgkin lymphomas such as follicular lymphoma \[FL\] and chronic lymphocytic leukemia \[CLL\]/small lymphocytic lymphoma \[SLL\]).

The goal of lower limb rehabilitation after stroke is recovery of independent walking at home and in the community. Few stroke survivors achieve this goal. Suboptimal outcomes are due to the serious and intransigent nature of movement impairments caused by stroke and the scarcity of feasible and effective therapies that restore movement lost to stroke. Our team has developed a novel exercise intervention called CUped (pronounced cupid, like the Roman god) to address barriers to recovery and improve walking after stroke. CUped is so called because it compels use of the paretic limb during a movement that resembles pedaling. This project will examine safety, acceptability, and tolerance to CUped, characterize its therapeutic effects, and identify dose-response relationships. Results will provide preliminary data for an R01 to support a randomized controlled trial (RCT). CUped is designed to help stroke survivors recover lower limb movement lost to stroke, thereby improving walking. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to gait training. CUped uses a robotic technology that eliminates compensatory movements that interfere with recovery, compels use of the paretic lower limb, and targets 3 key movement impairments caused by stroke: decreased muscle output from the paretic limb, inappropriate paretic muscle timing, and abnormal interlimb coordination. Exercise is done in sitting which enables high repetition practice. Like walking, CUped requires continuous, reciprocal use of both lower limbs; effects are likely to transfer to walking. The risk-reward profile of this proposal is ideal for an R21, which is an NIH funding opportunity intended to encourage exploratory/developmental research by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of project development. CUped is a novel therapy grounded in a physiologic premise and based on prior observations from our laboratory. The investigators have pilot data suggesting that CUped fulfills its design specifications, and this study will be the first to test its therapeutic effects. In this Stage 1 rehabilitation trial, The investigators will support or quickly refute the hypothesis that CUped is safe, acceptable, and capable of eliciting a therapeutic response in stroke survivors. The investigators will also examine tolerance to CUped and dose-response effects. If our hypotheses are supported, the investigators will be poised to run an RCT to isolate the effects of CUped and compare them to standard care. Future work will investigate physiologic mechanisms underlying the effects of CUped. Read Less

The investigators wish to determine the time to disease progression for benign neurofibromas treated with Levulan Kerastick topical photosensitizer and red light photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The investigators also wish to measure tumor size for control and treatment tumors in order to gain insights into tumor growth rates. Read Less
