This study is called a screening study and the purpose of this study to find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia that has come back after treatment or difficult to treat. Bone marrow, blood, and medical information about cancer and treatment will be collected. The results from this screening study may give other information about leukemia that is…
The purpose of this study is to determine how effective and safe the immune drug Nivolumab is for patients who have newly diagnosed cutaneous melanoma. Nivolumab is an anti-body, a type of human protein, that is being tested to see if it will allow the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. If you are eligible for the study, you will…
The purpose of this study is to compare V940 plus pembro given after surgery to a placebo plus pembro given after surgery and to study how effective the study drug is. A placebo looks like a study drug, but it has no active ingredients. V940 has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pembrolizumab is FDA approved but it has not…
This is a Phase 1 study of a drug called uproleselan. We are testing new experimental drugs such as uproleselan in the hopes of finding a treatment that may be effective against acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that has come back or that has not responded to standard therapy. This study looks at how well…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of Quizartinib that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which has come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Quizartinib will be given by mouth once a day from Day 6 through Day 28. It will be given in combination with…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the drugs called Nivolumab and 5-Azacytidine can be given safely in children and young adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has come back after treatment or has not responded to standard therapy. These drugs are thought to work by turning on genes that limit the growth of cancer cells. The study drugs…
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.…
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.…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of pevonedistat that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that has either come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Pevonedistat works by blocking some of the enzymes that are needed for cell growth.
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…
This is a Phase 1 multicenter study of Decitabine (DEC) and Vorinostat (VOR) followed by the standard chemotherapy drugs (Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG)). The study treatment is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)…
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…
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,…
