RESET-SLE: A Phase 1/2 Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CABA-201 in Subjects With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Read Less

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of cabozantinib, nivolumab, and radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with renal cell cancer that has spread to the brain. The researches will also look at how the study treatment affects the quality of life of participants. They will measure the quality of life by having participants complete questionnaires. Read Less

This is an open-label phase I study of fostamatinib in combination with ruxolitinib for the treatment of chronic GvHD with a suboptimal response to corticosteroids. The primary objective is to identify a minimum safe and biologically effective dose of fostamatinib when combined with standard of care ruxolitinib for the treatment of steroid refractory and steroid dependent cGVHD. The secondary objective is to estimate the efficacy of the combination of ruxolitinib and fostamatinib for the treatment of steroid refractory and steroid dependent cGVHD. The target enrollment is 24-30 subjects. The study will begin with an initial dose escalation cohort employing a modified 3+3 design to investigate up to three doses of fostamatinib. Using safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamic (PD), and pharmacokinetic data (PK), an interim assessment will be performed to determine two candidate doses of the biologically optimal dose to investigate further. A safety expansion cohort will be opened to backfill these two candidate doses up to a total 12 patients per dose, including those in the dose escalation cohort who received the candidate doses. Patients will then be randomized to one of these two candidate doses in the expansion. If there is an imbalance in the two expansion cohorts, the remaining patient slots after 1:1 randomization will be sequentially backfilled to a total of 12 patients per cohort. A final analysis of safety, efficacy, and PK/PD data in patients who received the two candidate doses will be conducted to determine a minimum safety and biologically effective dose, which will be the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). The primary hypothesis is that Fostamatinib combined with ruxolitinib is a safe therapy for and has synergistic activity in cGvHD. The recommended phase II dose will be determined by the study investigators in collaboration with the sponsors. The decision to select the recommended phase II dose will occur only after all patients in the part 1 have completed at least 28 days of therapy. The decision will be based on the valuation of all relevant, available data, and not solely on dose-limiting toxicities. Read Less

The goal of this study is to collect more information from people with plaque psoriasis and to determine if insulin plays a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The main question it aims to answer is if insulin action is preserved or even enhanced in psoriatic lesions despite insulin resistance elsewhere. Participants with plaque psoriasis will have punch biopsies taken of lesional and non-lesional skin after an overnight fast and then during an oral glucose tolerance test. Biopsy specimens will then be assessed for markers of insulin action. Read Less

This is a clinical trial of people who have pain due to knee osteoarthritis at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The study will last for about 20 weeks. 180 qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio (60 participants per group) to one of three treatment groups: duloxetine, celecoxib, or placebo. Participants will have an Xray, knee MRI, brain MRI, blood draws, pain sensitivity testing, and asked to fill out questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to try to predict which participants will respond to the treatment. Read Less

This phase II trial tests how well ibrutinib works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). An allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a treatment in which a person receives blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from a genetically similar, but not identical donor. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets. However, sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called GVHD). Giving ibrutinib after the transplant may stop that from happening. Ibrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking a protein in the blood called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). By blocking BTK, ibrutinib inhibits certain immune cells that play a role in cGVHD. Giving ibrutinib after an allo-HCT may prevent the development of chronic GVHD. Read Less

Behavioral activation is one such empirically supported intervention. Derived from cognitive-behavioral therapy, a well-established treatment for depression, behavioral activation uses psychoeducation and skill-building to increase an individual's engagement in valued and enjoyable activities (e.g., socializing with family and friends, exercising, participating in a hobby) in order to improve depressive symptoms. Research has shown that behavioral activation is an effective intervention for depressed youth. Additionally, it has been shown as a promising intervention that can be conducted in a brief, virtual format and can be effectively implemented by both trained clinicians and trained, non-licensed interventionists. This project will provide Behavioral Activation for youth (12-17) experiencing depression or suicidal ideation who are currently enrolled in the Youth Depression Suicide Network study in Texas.

The purpose of this study is to compare Moses 2.0 pulse modulation technology and the standard high powered Holmium Laser lithotripsy and how it will affect time in the operating room, time using the laser, laser energy, and stone free rates. Currently Moses 2.0 laser technology is FDA approved and currently used in practice since 2021. No study to this date has compared Moses 2.0 without pulse modulation laser technology to Moses 2.0 with pulse modulation laser technology. The study will be including kidney and ureteral stones (a kidney stone located in the tube between the kidney and the bladder) that are 6mm and greater, but less than 20 mm in size undergoing ureteroscopic treatment. High powered lasers are used for "dusting". Dusting is when a laser is used to break a stone down into tiny fragments that are able to pass through the urine. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a digital health program called AYA STEPS, which is designed to help adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors manage symptoms and engage in recommended follow-up care. Read Less
