The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drugs, encorafenib, and cetuximab, taken in combination with pembrolizumab would improve compared to the outcome of pembrolizumab alone in study patients. Encorafenib and cetuximab target cancerous BRAF proteins and potentially slow down the growth of cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may help your immune…
The BNT122-01 research study is testing an investigational medication (RO7198457) for patients who have had surgery for Stage II and Stage III colorectal cancer. The study will look at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for patients who have had surgery for Stage II (high risk) and Stage III colorectal cancer. It will study…
This research study is sponsored by ImmunogenX and The National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD). The objective of this study is to determine if the investigational product (latiglutenase) will help decrease symptoms in subjects with celiac disease while maintaining a gluten-free diet while undergoing periodic gluten exposure. In addition, this…
This study evaluates whether the addition of immune therapy to usual FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair stage III colon cancer can improve your outcome compared to FOLFOX alone. The immune therapy drug, atezolizumab, may allow your body's immune system to more effectively kill cancer cells in your body. One of the…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of the cancer immunotherapy combination treatments (CIT) combinations versus standard treatment on you and your colorectal cancer to find out which is better.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Does duloxetine (either 30 mg or 60 mg) prevent numbness, tingling, and/or pain caused by your colorectal cancer treatment with oxaliplatin? We are doing this study because we want to find out if duloxetine can prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (OIPN).
Our lab is conducting a series of research studies that investigate how specific brain regions are related to functioning in work, school, and in other social situations. As a study participant, you will be asked to complete clinical and neuropsychological assessments, an eye-tracking task, and a non-invasive MRI scan. Study participants earn between $15-50…
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug altaluren can help lung function and can reduce the symptoms associated with cystic fibrosis (CF), and decrease the number of hospitalizations and the use of antibiotics for CF-related lung infections. The study will also investigate whether the drug can help improve overall patient quality of…
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brain wave patterns are improved after administration of CVN058 compared to placebo in subjects with schizophrenia. The study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure naturally occurring brain waves as you listen to recorded sounds.
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of VX-440 used in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor in patients with cystic fibrosis. VX-440 given in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor is an investigational drug; investigational means the drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is still…
The purpose of the ELEVATE CF study is to evaluate an oral investigational medication called VX-440 tosee if it is safe, effective, and well-tolerated when taken alone or with two other oral medications(VX-661 tezacaftor and ivacaftor) in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). This triple combination(TC) is being tested to see if it improves chloride transport (…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different doses and durations of TV-46000 given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection as compared to placebo for use as a potential maintenance in adults with schizophrenia.
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of schizophrenia, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, clinical chart review, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
The main purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of study drug CTX-4430 when compared to a placebo (sugar pill) taken once-daily for 48 Weeks in adult patients with CysticFibrosis (CF).
This study is for patients who have been prescribed tobramycin inhalation powder (TOBI Podhaler) or another inhaled medication used to treat cystic fibrosis patients whose lungs contain bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this research study is to assess how well TOBI Podhaler works on treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lungs of…
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of study drug VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor in patients aged 12 years and older with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). In this Study there are two treatment groups. If the patient meets all the rules for being in the Study, they willbe in one of the two treatment groups. The patient will…
Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, LLC., the Sponsor of this study, is developing a drug called DCC-2618 to treat Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) that are growing because of changes in specific genes. Genes are the instructions that tell a part of your body called a cell what to do. Cancer changes the genes so that the instructions are no longer correct. DCC…
The purpose of this study is to assess how effective the study drug Pulmaquin is in the management of chronic lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in subjects with non cystic fibrosis (nonCF) bronchiectasis by evaluating the time to first pulmonary exacerbation. A pulmonary exacerbation is defined as the new appearance or worsening in 4 or more of…
