This study is being done to determine if REGN2810 (anti-PD-1) in combination with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) plus initial platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, or REGN2810 in combination with ipilimumab will prolong how long you live without your disease progressing compared to the standard of care pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) monotherapy treatment. Neither…
We are conducting a survey to gather feedback about lung cancer patients experience with treatment and the challenges you faced. Your insights can help shape better care for future patients and explore how technology can be of help! The survey takes 30-40 minutes, and eligible participants who complete it will receive a gift card. Interested in…
We are doing this study because we want to find out if MRI brain scans alone is better or worse than MRI brain scans plus preventative brain radiation for patients with small lung cancer. The usual approach for patients with small cell lung cancer is prophylactic cranial irradiation. If you decide to take part in this study, you will either receive PCI for…
Are you undergoing a stem cell transplant? You may be at high risk for infections after the transplant. This study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for those who have undergone a stem cell transplant. Recovery after a stem cell transplant can already be challenging without the added worry of life-threatening viral…
This is a research study to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. Particularly, we are looking at the importance of inflammation in the process. If you participate, you will receive an experimental medication for your depression named ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid (ethyl EPA), an omega 3 fatty acid. You will…
The goal of this study is to examine how effective and well-tolerated a possible new treatment for individuals who injure themselves frequently will be. All research procedures can be done from home no in-person visits are required. We are studying a minimal-risk form of electrical brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS.…
The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine to prevent liver venoocclusive disease (VOD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who are at high risk or very high risk for liver VOD following HSCT. Liver VOD can be a complication of bone marrow and/or stem cell transplant,which may be life threatening. The condition is a…
We will evaluate the D-cycloserine (DCS) and lurasidone with MRI measurement of brain responses to DCS. DCS is a drug that works on the same brain receptor as ketamine. DCS is not approved by the FDA for bipolar depression. Study participants will receive a dose of lurasidone or placebo in one MRI and a dose of DCS in another, followed by an optional follow…
The purpose of this study is to see whether or not the medicine, Abatacept, when given after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is effective in treating GVHD in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). We are also planning to gather additional information about the safety of treating sickle cell disease with a hematopoietic stem…
The main purpose of the study is to find out about whether the study drug is safe in humans and aneffective treatment in pediatric patients with acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD mayoccur after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in which someone receives bone marrow tissue orcells from a donor (called an allogeneic transplant). The new,…
We are trying to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. If you participate, you will have two different brain scans (MRI and PET scan). You will also have antidepressant treatment for free. We will then be able to see whether information on the brain scans connects with how people do on the medications. The…
This purpose of this study is to determine whether the tumor cells of lung cancer patients contain changes to the DNA sequence of two proteins found on the cells surface- ALK and EGFR. If the tumor contains changes to the DNA of one of these proteins, the patient may be invited to participate on a trial that will look at drugs which may target tumors that…
In this trial, we will evaluate whether partially-HLA matched allogeneic multivirus-specific VSTs, will be safe and produce anti-viral effects in immunodeficient recipients infected with one of more of the targeted viruses that are persistent despite conventional anti-viral therapy. This will be in patients who have received a hematopoietic stem cell…
We are trying to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. Particularly, we are looking at the importance of dopamine signaling in the process. If you participate, you will have two different brain scans (MRI and PET scan). You will also have treatment for your depression with an FDA approved medication,…
The primary objectives of this study are to measure the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow transplant (BMT) using specific chemotherapy in children with less severe SCD and to understand the long term effects of bone marrow transplant in children with SCD, by evaluating ovarian reserve, sickle cell related brain problems, sickle cell related kidney…
This study is a double-blind and placebo-controlled study to assess its efficacy of the new drug Lumateperone for patients with Major Depressive Episodes associated with Bipolar I and Bipolar II disorder. Lumateperone is thought to exert its antidepressant effect through interaction with sereotogenic, dopaminergic, and glutamergic neurotransmitter targets.…
