Using a laboratory test (VeriStrat), patients with relapsed squamous cell lung cancer are assigned to two strata, VSG (VeriStrat Good) and VSP (VeriStrat Poor). They are then randomized between an EGFR-TK inhibitor (erlotinib) and chemotherapy (Docetaxel). It is hypothesized tha…

Chronic post-coma consciousness impairment is a severe handicap. Preliminary studies suggest that deep brain stimulation of the thalamic-tegmental reticular system could improve consciousness disorders, and facilitate the emergence of conscious behavior. The aim of this protocol …

This open-label, multicenter study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in healthy children aged more than 15 months up to less than 18 years.

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying letrozole to see how well it works in treating women with bre…

Altered fractionated radiotherapy and concomitant radio-chemotherapy have been shown to be two possibilities for improving efficacy of radiotherapy in locally advanced head and neck carcinomas. In this multicentric study, we tested the hypothesis that accelerated radiotherapy cou…

The purpose of this research study is to (1) provide access to fenfluramine for patients with intractable epilepsy associated with Dravet syndrome, and (2) evaluate the safety of fenfluramine.

The purpose of this clinical protocol is to treat individuals with Tecovirimat after exposure to orthopox viruses.

This phase 2 single-arm study will evaluate whether a shortened course of mildly hypofractionated radiation therapy given with standard concurrent chemotherapy (mitomycin C and capecitabine) can provide acceptable tumor control in patients with high-risk non-metastatic anal squam…

This project optimizes high-resolution tACS to improve memory in healthy older adults, advancing drug-free approaches for ADRD. We test stimulation schedules and develop an adaptive, brain-guided tACS system to strengthen memory-supporting networks.

Malaria remains a major cause of illness among school-aged children in sub-Saharan Africa, many of whom carry asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections that may contribute to anemia, inflammation, school absenteeism, and impaired cognitive performance. Intermittent preventive…

The purpose of Study ALXN2220-ATTRCM-302 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of ALXN2220 in adult participants with ATTR-CM treated with ALXN2220 in addition to SoC who have completed Study ALXN2220-ATTRCM-301.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in lower limb muscle loss, bone loss, and high fat mass that impede the recovery of physical function, increase bone fracture risk, and worsen health and quality of life. These deficits result from reduced activity after SCI and may be worsened by…

The TAME-AD trial will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa clinical trial to evaluate the metabolic target engagement of terazosin for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neratinib, an FDA-approved oral pan-HER2/3/4 inhibitor, improves disease control for participants with metastatic endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2-negative breast cancer. Neratinib is already approved for the treatment of HER2-postive br…

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of CAR T cells immunotherapy in patients who have sarcoma that is relapsed or late staged. Another goal of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the therapy that combines CAR T cells and …

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) via catheter ablation has been successfully employed for years to treat symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Moreover, PVI has not been used as a prophylactic intervention even in groups known to be high-risk for the future development of AF. Preli…

BAP1, or BRCA1-associated protein 1, is a gene involved in DNA repair via homologous recombination and is considered a tumor suppressor gene. It is lost or inactivated in a large number of tumors, and the presence of germline BAP1 mutations is associated with a syndrome of tumor …

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet risk is systematically underestimated and preventive interventions are often initiated too late. Women are disproportionately affected by obesity, diabetes, and smoking, but they also derive greater cardioprotecti…

The purpose of study is to investigate whether adding palliative care to usual chronic kidney disease (CKD) care improves symptoms and quality of life for people with CKD. The primary objectives are to 1) determine efficacy of Kidney Palliative Care (KPC) integrated with CKD care…

This phase II trial tests the effect of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) in combination with fludarabine and melphalan as conditioning regimen in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has not responded to previous treatm…
