The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (how well the study drug works) of NBTRX3 administered via intratumoral injections (injected directly into tumor) and used together with radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab, and how it compares with radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab.…
We are inviting patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to help us better understand how treatment options affect inflammation in soft tissues. With a combination of blood work, a full-body FDG PET-CT scan, questionnaires, and a soft tissue biopsy (from an area around the belly button), we hope to see how RA interacts with these multiple areas of…
We are currently enrolling individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to participate in this research study. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational medication, brexpiprazole, for PTSD. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either brexpiprazole, sertraline (also known as…
There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial based on a blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed…
Approximately half of the individuals with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) present with major depressive disorder (MDD). Compared to PTSD alone, patients with comorbid PTSD-MDD demonstrate greater distress and poorer treatment outcome. The goal of this pilot study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of an…
Emerging research has demonstrated a relationship between visual attention patterns and anxiety disorders, including PTSD. This study is designed to examine these visual attention patterns using eye-tracking A simple device that monitors eye-movements. The study included two sessions conducted approximately 1 week apart, each no longer than 1 hour. In both…
The study involves research about MGA271 in combination with Keytruda. MGA271 targets cancer cells that make a lot of a protein called B7-H3. Another way to say it is that the cells "overexpress" the protein. Very few normal cells express B7-H3. MGA271 is though to work by recognizing cancer cells that overexpress B7-H3 and directing the body…
The study aims to compare the effect two different RA treatments on cardiovascular health in patients who are considering a treatment change. The study is recruiting patients who are only taking methotrexate and are switching treatment due to a lack of improvement. The trial will randomize participants to take a TNF inhibitor (Enbrel or Humira) in addition…
We are doing a research study to learn more about why people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are prone to heart disease. We are recruiting patients diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis without a personal history of heart disease. This study involves one initial full visit as described below, and a brief follow up visit that will take place approximately 2 or…
The purpose of this study is to study ADU-S100 and pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). This study aims to evaluate how safe and effective this drug combination is at treating your cancer. These drugs are thought to work by interacting with your immune system to in order to more effectively…
