A Novel Approach to Upper Extremity Amputation to Augment Volitional Control and Restore Proprioception
The hypothesis of this research protocol is that the investigators will be able to redesign the manner in which upper limb amputations are performed so as to enable volitional control of next generation prosthetic devices and restore sensation and proprioception to the amputated limb. The investigators will test this hypothesis …
Daratumumab for Relapsed/Refractory Primary Effusion Lymphoma, Plasmablastic Lymphoma, and Multicentric Castleman Disease
Background Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), and Multicentric Castleman Disease (MCD) are aggressive forms of cancer that affects cells in the immune system and lymph nodes. How they develop is not well understood, and these diseases do not respond well to standard treatments for other types of lymphomas. …
Experimental Infection of Hookworm-naïve Adults With Dermally-applied Infectious Necator Americanus Hookworm Larvae
An experimental hookworm infection model is being developed to provide early proof-of-concept that a hookworm vaccine targeting the blood-feeding pathway of adult hookworms is feasible and efficacious. The proposed model consists of vaccinating healthy, hookworm-naïve adults with a candidate hookworm vaccine, followed by challenging them with the investigational product, Necator …
Neuroimaging and Neuropsychological Outcomes in Urea Cycle Disorders
In proximal urea cycle disorders (UCD), particularly ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), hyperammonemia (HA) causes increased brain glutamine (Gln) which perturbation is thought to be at the core of the neurological injury. In contrast, in distal UCD such as citrullinemia (argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency; (ASSD) and argininosuccinic aciduria (argininosuccinate lyase deficiency); (ASLD) …
A Phase 1/2 Study of Intravenous Gene Transfer With an AAV9 Vector Expressing Human Beta-galactosidase in Type I and Type II GM1 Gangliosidosis
Background GM1 gangliosidosis is a disorder that destroys nerve cells. It is fatal. There is no treatment. People with GM1 are deficient in a certain enzyme. A gene therapy may help the body make this enzyme. This could improve GM1 symptoms. Objective To test if a gene therapy helps Type …
Carboplatin or Olaparib for BRcA Deficient Prostate Cancer
This is an unblinded, randomized clinical study comparing the efficacy of DNA damaging chemotherapy using carboplatin, to standard of care therapy for patients who have metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. This trial will use olaparib or carboplatin as initial therapy with crossover to the alternate or second-line drug after first …
Safety and Effectiveness of the Yaari Extractor for Management of Shoulder Dystocia
Prospective, multi-center, single arm with historical control, to verify the safety and effectiveness of the Yaari Extractor used by board certified or board eligible U.S. OB/GYN physicians in the management of shoulder dystocia.
Binimetinib for People With Relapsed/Refractory BRAF Wild Type Hairy Cell Leukemia and Variant
Background Most people with hairy cell leukemia have a BRAF gene mutation. They can be treated with BRAF inhibitors, drugs that target this mutation. For people who do not have this mutation, BRAF inhibitors are not a treatment option. We found that in hairy cell leukemia, when BRAF is not …
Mood Alterations in the Patients With Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated With BCG
The purpose of this study is to evaluate mood changes in patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer who are receiving intravesical Bacillus Calmete-Guerin (BCG). Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer receiving intravesical treatments are eligible to participate in this study. Participation involves providing research blood and urine samples prior to …
Phase IB/II of CPX-351 for Relapse Prevention in AML
This is a phase IB/II study with a 3+3 dose de-escalation study design. Patients will continue maintenance treatment with CPX-351 for 6 cycles on D1 and D3, as long as patient remains in CR. The dose de-escalation will be one dose given on D1 only, every 28 days pending toxicity. …
