The purpose of this study is to find out if REC-2282, an investigational new drug, is an effective and safe treatment in patients with progressive NF2 mutated meningiomas who have either NF2 disease-related meningioma or recurrent sporadic meningiomas that have NF2 mutation. Investigational new drug means a drug that has not been approved as a marketed…
The purpose of this study is to see how safe and effective Safusidenib erbumine, the study drug, is in treating brain glioma and to find the recommended dose of the study drug for clinical studies. Safusidenib is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved.
We are studying the causes of and potential treatments for pregnancy & lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO). We know little about the clinical features, causes, and prognosis of PLO. Our goal is to define the clinical characteristics of PLO and better understand similarities/differences among the women. We are looking for women with fractures during/…
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new vaccine, VBI-1901, and to know more about its ability to boost the response of the immune system against Cytomegalovirus. The reason for testing this vaccine in people with a brain tumor is that it might one day be used to boost the ability of the immune system to fight a certain type of brain tumor.…
