Base Editing Hematopoietic Stem Cell and T Cell Gene Therapy for CD40L-HyperIgM Syndrome: Single Patient Study
Background X-linked hyper-IgM (HIGM) syndrome is caused by a mutation in the CD40 ligand (CD40L) gene. People with this disease have white blood cells that do not work properly. These people are at risk of severe infections and autoimmune diseases. Researchers want to know if these base-edited stem cells and …
Combination Therapy (Mirdametinib and Sirolimus) for RAS Mutated Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of blood cancer that affects a person s immunity. MM returns after treatment (relapse) in almost all people; MM may also not respond to initial treatment (refractory). Many people with relapsed refractory MM (RRMM) also have changes in their KRAS and NRAS genes. …
A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of ALG-000184 Compared With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in Untreated HBeAg-Positive and HBeAg- Negative Adult Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B (B-SUPREME)
This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of 48 weeks of oral once daily monotherapy with ALG-000184 versus tenofovir disproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic HBV infection.
Autologous T Cells Transduced With Retroviral Vectors Expressing TCRs for Participant-specific Neoantigens in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Background Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes. Researchers want to test a method of treating blood cancers by altering a person s T …
PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) in Alcohol Use Disorder
Background People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) also often have bouts of depression called major depressive episodes (MDEs). People having MDEs have been found to have low levels of a protein called PDE4B in the brain. Researchers want to find out if people with AUD also have low levels of …
CONTIGO - A Narrative Intervention to Enhance Genetic Counseling and Testing
This is a mixed-methods Hybrid Type 1 research design (efficacy study) in which we aim to conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial and an Implementation Focused Process Evaluation of a culturally-targeted video and referral screening tool. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally targeted …
Evaluation Of Semaglutide in Adults With Cocaine Use Disorder With and Without HIV
The purpose of this research study is to find out if semaglutide is safe and well tolerated in adults with cocaine use disorder who do and do not have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Participants will complete a screening process and if you are able to participate, you will be assigned …
Non-invasive Central Venous Pressure Estimation in Pediatric Patients
Central Venous Pressure (CVP) is a standard parameter for hemodynamic monitoring and is currently measured through the insertion of a catheter. The pediatric population is especially vulnerable to risks associated to this invasive procedure, including infection, thrombosis, and pneumothorax. The proposed pilot study will evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of …
PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) in Volunteers With Alzheimer Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Background About 5 million adults in the United States have age-related brain disorders. These include Alzheimer disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and other dementias. The number of people with these disorders will likely increase as the population ages and life span increases. Inflammation is thought to play a role …
A Phase I Trial Anti-CC Chemokine Receptor 4 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CCR4 CAR T Cells) for CCR4 Expressing T-cell Malignancies Including Peripheral T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (CTCL)
Background Chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is a protein that is found on the surface of certain T-cell lymphoma cells and is common in mature T-cell cancers. White blood cells can be changed with molecules called anti-CCR4 to express a chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), which is a molecule that directs a …
