May 20th, 2022 - This study is designed to identify the target Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) population(s) that over express c-Met (c-Met+) best suited for telisotuzumab vedotin therapy in the second line or third line setting (Stage 1) and then to expand the group(s) to further evaluate efficacy in the selected population(s) (Stage 2).

May 20th, 2022 - Study Design: This is the first study in healthy adults of the N6LS monoclonal antibody (MAb). It is a dose-escalation study to examine safety, tolerability, dose, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of N6LS administered intravenously (IV) and subcutaneously (SC) to healthy adults. For SC administration, N6LS will be administered alone or coadministered with the permeation enhancer rHuPH20 enzyme. Primar...

May 20th, 2022 - Background Children and young adults diagnosed with a high-grade or high-risk cancer (e.g., diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, relapsed-refractory leukemia, refractory metastatic sarcomas) face a poor prognosis given limited curative options. Recent research has indicated that this population of patients and their parents experience elevated stress and poorer health-rela...

May 20th, 2022 - The NIH provides a unique opportunity for research scientists to participate in the bench-to-bedside process, which is essential for the full implementation of translational medicine programs. The study of rare monogenetic and undiagnosed diseases is a complex bedside-to-bench-to-bedside endeavor. Recent studies show that rare genetic variants are more likely than common variants to have delete...

May 20th, 2022 - BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer is the most common and second deadliest gynecological cancer in women in the United States, with over 63,000 new cases and 11,000 deaths expected to occur in 2018. Unlike most cancers, endometrial cancer incidence and mortality are increasing, due to increases in risk factors such as obesity and population aging. Racial disparities in endometrial cancer incidence ...

May 20th, 2022 - This is a study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus secukinumab in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (PSO).

May 20th, 2022 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in pediatric participants aged greater than or equal to 6 through less than 18 years with chronic plaque psoriasis.

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 25% of childhood cancer. Survival rates have improved, but outcomes for some subgroups, including infants and young adults remain poor, and survival for patients who relapse is < 50%, despite allogeneic stem cell transplant following second remission. CD19 immune escape has been observed by several groups following CD19-C...

May 20th, 2022 - Description: This is a longitudinal study of the natural history of the collagen-related disorder osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), that includes enrolling new patients under the age of 12 years, along with an extended data collection from adult patients on whom previous childhood data was collected at the NIH. Objectives: Primary Objectives: 1) Identify and monitor longitudinal functional outcomes...

May 20th, 2022 - At present, there are no clear guidelines as to when antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection should be stopped in the setting of elevated liver enzymes. In large part, this is due to a limited understanding of the natural history of antiretroviral-related hepatotoxicity. Although several antiretrovirals have been reported to cause fatal acute hepatitis, more ofte...

May 20th, 2022 - Background Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Although highly responsive to chemotherapy initially, SCLC relapses quickly and becomes refractory to treatment within a few months. Extrapulmonary small cell cancers are extremely rare and management of systemic disease with chemotherapy is patterned after the approach used in SCLC. The inability to destroy...

May 20th, 2022 - BMN 190 is a recombinant form of human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), the enzyme deficient in patients with CLN2 diseases (also known as classical late-infantile CLN2, cLINCL, or Jansky-Bielschowsky disease), a form of Batten Disease. As an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), BMN 190 is designed to help restore TPP1 enzyme activity. BMN 190 is designed to reduce the progressive, pathologic accum...

May 20th, 2022 - The study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of JNJ-64619178, and to select a dose(s) and regimen(s) that may be used in future clinical development.
