Did you know that people living with HIV are 50-100% more likely to develop heart disease (including heart attack and stroke) than people without HIV? And did you know that women with HIV are 3 times more likely to have a heart attack than women without HIV? Heart disease in HIV-infected people is a big deal. We are doing a study to test if a daily dose of…

The FLAURA Study is a new clinical research study underway in NSCLC and we are looking for people who would like to join. This study will examine an investigational drug, called AZD9291, and compare it tostandard, approved drugs that are already used to treat lung cancer. These drugs are called gefitinib and erlotinib. When we talk about investigational, it…
We are testing two antibodies directed against HIV virus. The human body uses antibodies as one way to help fight infection.The antibodies are called VRC01LS and VRC07-523LS and they are given by IV infusion. Each participant will receive one dose by infusion. The main purpose of this study is to see if these two antibodies are safe and how a participants…
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of avoiding the hippocampus during whole brain radiation to the usual whole-brain radiation. The hippocampus is part of the brain that is important for memory. Avoiding the hippocampus during whole-brain radiation could decrease the chance of side effects on memory and thinking. It also is…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new technique called Wide Area Transepithelial Sample 3-Dimensional Esophageal Biopsy (WATS) with computer assisted method of analysis of brush biopsy. This study will assess whether performing standard biopsies in addition to the WATS brush biopsies identifies more patients with dysplasia than does performing…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with chemotherapy or placebo with chemotherapy in patients with resectable NSCLC to find out which is better. In this study, you will receive treatment before undergoing surgery to remove the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of intravenous (IV) pantoprazole in patients 1 to 16 years old who are candidates for acid suppression therapy.
The purpose is to study the safety and the effect of AB122, AB154, and AB928 in participants with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will study the treatment response of AB122 alone as well as in combination with AB154 and AB928. There are three possible groups a participant can be randomly assigned to. Group 1 will include AB122 alone, Group…
C2 Therapeutics is currently enrolling patients to participate in the Coldplay 3 clinical trial. Coldplay 3 is evaluating the effectiveness of the Coldplay CryoBalloon Focal Ablation System in patients with Barrett's esophagus who have not yet received treatment.
