Sep 10th, 2021 - This study is an open-label, multi-center, non-randomized phase I/II study of the combination treatment copanlisib + venetoclax in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Phase I clinical trials test the safety of investigational drugs, and also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drugs to use for further studies. Phase II clinical tr...

Sep 10th, 2021 - Alzheimer's disease is devastating in terms of personal wellbeing as well as for society. Any effort to prevent and/or treat this disease is always sought after. Recently, an exciting new possibility was opened by modulating a cellular component called RXR-PPARG. A successful experimental treatment for Alzheimer's was found by activating RXR. But we previously showed that a component of soya, i...

Sep 10th, 2021 - The objective of this protocol is to evaluate the quality of life and functional disability in the long term (2 years after craniectomy) in subject's victims of malignant Sylvien stroke who received a decompressive craniotomy in the acute phase. Patients who have given their consent to be evaluated at least two years after their stroke and their operation in a single visit by clinical examinati...

Sep 10th, 2021 - This is an open-label (identity of assigned study drug will be known) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dose of daratumumab when administered in combination with various treatment regimens for different settings of multiple myeloma.

Sep 10th, 2021 - Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder characterized by production of monoclonal proteins (M proteins), which are comprised of pathologic immunoglobulins (Ig) or fragments of such, which have subsequently lost their normal function. Talquetamab is a humanized IgG4PAA bispecific antibody designed to target G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5-member D (GPRC5D) and the CD3 mo...

Sep 10th, 2021 - The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of enhanced preoperative education using a Pediatric Interactive Relational Agent (PIRA), designed for children ages 4 through10 years and their families, compared to the standard preoperative education currently provided. The study will also look at any differences in anxiety between the two educational groups.

Sep 10th, 2021 - B-cell lymphoid malignancies include CLL and NHL and are defined by clonal populations of B-lymphocytes expressing identical surface antigens. CD22 is a surface protein specifically expressed on B-lymphocytes and is expressed in B-lymphocytic malignancies.
