Staged Complete Revascularization for Coronary Artery Disease vs Medical Management Alone in Patients With AS Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Aortic Stenosis · Coronary Artery Disease · Coronary Stenosis

Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) often have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) which may adversely affect prognosis. There is uncertainty about the benefits and the optimal timing of revascularization for such patients. There is currently clinical equipoise regarding the management of concomitant CAD in patients undergoing TAVR. Some centers perform routine revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (either before or after TAVR), while others follow an alternative strategy of medical management. The potential benefits and optimal timing of PCI in these patients are unknown. As TAVR expands to lower risk patients, and potentially becomes the preferred therapy for the majority of patients with severe aortic stenosis, the optimal management of concomitant coronary artery disease will be of increasing importance. The COMPLETE TAVR study will determine whether, on a background of guideline-directed medical therapy, a strategy of complete revascularization involving staged PCI using drug eluting stents to treat all suitable coronary artery lesions is superior to a strategy of medical therapy alone in reducing the composite outcome of Cardiovascular Death, new Myocardial Infarction, Ischemia-driven Revascularization or Hospitalization for Unstable Angina or Heart Failure. The study will be a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial with blinded adjudication of outcomes. Patients will be screened and consented for elective transfemoral TAVR and randomized within 96 hours of successful balloon expandable TAVR. Complete Revascularization: Staged PCI using third generation drug eluting stents to treat all suitable coronary artery lesions in vessels that are at least 2.5 mm in diameter and that are amenable to treatment with PCI and have a ≥70% visual angiographic diameter stenosis. Staged PCI can occur any time from 1 to 45 days post successful transfemoral TAVR. Vs. Medical Therapy Alone: No further revascularization of coronary artery lesions. All patients, regardless of randomized treatment allocation, will receive guideline-directed medical therapy consisting of risk factor modification and use of evidence-based therapies. The COMPLETE TAVR study will help address the current lack of evidence in this area. It will likely impact both the global delivery of health care and the management and clinical outcomes of all patients undergoing TAVR with concomitant CAD.

Testing Shorter Duration Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy in Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

Prostate Adenocarcinoma · Stage III Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 · Stage IVA Prostate Cancer AJCC v8

This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

Testing Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Vorasidenib to Temozolomide, After Radiation for Advanced Brain Cancer

Astrocytoma, IDH-Mutant, Grade 3

This phase III trial compares the effect of vorasidenib to placebo in combination with usual treatment, temozolomide, in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Vorasidenib citrate blocks the proteins made by the mutated IDH1 and IDH2 genes, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It is a type of enzyme inhibitor and a type of targeted therapy. Adding vorasidenib to the usual treatment, temozolomide, may be more effective than temozolomide alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation therapy.

Nicotine Regulation for Dual Users of E-cigarettes and Cigarettes

Tobacco Use Disorder

Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the US. Use of multiple tobacco products is becoming increasingly prevalent, with dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes representing the most common combination. Though e-cigarettes are not without risk, completely switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes likely reduces risk for tobacco-related harm. However, many established dual users maintain long-term smoking and the majority who use e-cigarettes non-daily are at an even greater risk for prolonged smoking than exclusive cigarette smokers. The Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products (FDA CTP) has announced plans to implement a nicotine-limiting product standard, capping the nicotine in cigarettes at a minimally or non-addictive level. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate that adults who exclusively smoke cigarettes respond to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes with reductions in smoking, demand, and dependence. However, nicotine reduction RCTs to date have excluded people who regularly use e-cigarettes and therefore it remains unclear how a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes would affect smoking among dual users. Given the potential substitutability of e-cigarettes for cigarettes, reducing the nicotine in cigarettes could promote a transition to exclusive e-cigarette use among dual users unable to completely quit nicotine, but only if sufficiently appealing e-cigarettes remain available. E-cigarettes containing 5% nicotine-salt solution are currently most popular in the US, but policy makers have proposed restricting e-cigarettes to ≤ 2% nicotine to curb youth e-cigarette use, and several states have already set limits to reduce nicotine in e-cigarettes. Prior laboratory studies indicate that higher vs lower nicotine e-cigarettes serve as better substitutes for cigarettes among adult dual users. As such, a restriction on e-cigarette nicotine concentration could undermine the potential for e-cigarettes to substitute for cigarettes and diminish the benefits of a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes among dual users. This study is a 12-week double-blind 2 cigarette level (Normal Nicotine vs Very Low Nicotine) x 2 e-cigarette level (High Nicotine vs Low Nicotine) between-subjects factorial trial to investigate how a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes affects adult dual users and whether these effects are impacted by constraints on e-cigarette nicotine concentration. Outcome measures include cigarettes per day, cigarette dependence, and toxicant exposure. The research is highly relevant to FDA CTP domains of Addiction and Behavior because it will test whether reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes reduces smoking and dependence, and whether these effects are moderated by the availability of high vs low nicotine e-cigarettes.

A US Study That Observes How Parkinson's Disease Changes Over Time in Patients Who Still Have Movement Symptoms Despite Taking Parkinson's Medications

Parkinson's Disease

This is an observational study in which data are collected and studied from Parkinson's disease patients who have movement symptoms despite taking standard Parkinson's medications. In observational studies, observations are made without any changes to the participant's healthcare or treatment plan. No investigational product will be administered in this study, as participants will be treated with the standard of care that medical experts currently consider most appropriate. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a condition that affects the brain and causes problems with movement and other body functions. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease can worsen over time. People with Parkinson's disease may experience shaking (tremor), slow movements, stiff muscles, trouble walking, and problems with balance. They can also have other symptoms, such as difficulty thinking clearly, changes in mood, or difficulty sleeping. Parkinson's disease mostly affects older adults, but it can happen to younger people too. There is no cure, but treatments can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. While doctors and researchers know that Parkinson's disease affects people in different ways and can worsen over time, there are still many things they don't fully understand-especially for people who experience movement symptoms despite taking their usual Parkinson's medicines. Earlier studies did not follow these patients long enough or collect all the important information needed. This study is being done to fill those gaps. The main purpose of this study is to better understand how Parkinson's disease changes over time in patients who experience movement symptoms while taking standard oral Parkinson's medications, what challenges patients and their care partners face, and how their treatments are working in real life. To do this, researchers will collect data on: * Sociodemographics (e.g. age, gender, race/ethnicity, insurance provider). * Medical history and vital signs (e.g. comorbidities, family history of Parkinson's, height, weight, blood pressure). * Medications and treatments (e.g. Parkinson's and non-Parkinson's medications and other treatments, rehabilitation therapy sessions, use of mobility assistance devices). * Movement symptoms (e.g. tremor, slow movement, balance). * Non-movement symptoms (e.g. cognition, mood, sleep, activities of daily living). * Molecular data (e.g. genetics, α-synuclein). * Burden of care (e.g. economic cost). Data will come from questionnaires or rating scales conducted by the doctor with the patient during study visits, diaries and logs completed by the patient, medical records, health insurance claims records, blood samples and skin biopsies, a digital device that records movement/non-movement symptoms, and questionnaires completed by the care partner. Data will be collected from December 2025 to December 2032. Each participant may be followed for up to 5 years.

APOLLO: A Randomized Phase II Double-Blind Study of Olaparib Versus Placebo Following Curative Intent Therapy in Patients With Resected Pancreatic Cancer and a Pathogenic BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 Mutation

Pancreatic Acinar Cell Carcinoma · Pancreatic Adenosquamous Carcinoma · Pancreatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This phase II trial investigates how well the addition of olaparib following completion of surgery and chemotherapy works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed (resected) and has a pathogenic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy.

A Study Comparing the Combination of Pembrolizumab and Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy Versus Standard of Care in the Treatment of Advanced Urothelial Cancer

Locally Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma · Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma · Unresectable Urothelial Carcinoma

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan-hziy to standard of care in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called govitecan-hziy. Sacituzumab attaches to TROP2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers govitecan-hziy to kill them. The usual treatment approach is treatment with chemotherapy such as cisplatin, carboplatin, gemcitabine, docetaxel or paclitaxel. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Giving pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan-hziy may be more effective than usual care of carboplatin or cisplatin with gemcitabine, docetaxel or paclitaxel in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases

Brain Metastases

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while trying to decrease the amount of radiation that is delivered to the area of the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a brain structure that is important for memory. Memantine is a drug that is given to help relieve symptoms that can be caused by WBRT, including problems with memory and other mental symptoms. Health Canada, the regulatory body that oversees the use of drugs in Canada, has not approved the sale or use of memantine in combination with WBRT to treat this kind of cancer, although they have allowed its use in this study.

Dinutuximab With Chemotherapy, Surgery and Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Children With Newly Diagnosed High Risk Neuroblastoma

Ganglioneuroblastoma, Nodular · Neuroblastoma

This phase III trial tests how well the addition of dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy works for treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found on the surface of neuroblastoma cells, but is not present on many healthy or normal cells in the body. When dinutuximab binds to the neuroblastoma cells, it helps signal the immune system to kill the tumor cells. This helps the cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells, this is a type of immunotherapy. When chemotherapy and immunotherapy are given together, during the same treatment cycle, it is called chemoimmunotherapy. This clinical trial randomly assigns patients to receive either standard chemotherapy and surgery or chemoimmunotherapy (chemotherapy plus dinutuximab) and surgery during Induction therapy. Chemotherapy drugs administered during Induction include, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. These drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. Upon completion of 5 cycles of Induction therapy, a disease evaluation is completed to determine how well the treatment worked. If the tumor responds to therapy, patients receive a tandem transplantation with stem cell rescue. If the tumor has little improvement or worsens, patients receive chemoimmunotherapy on Extended Induction. During Extended Induction, dinutuximab is given with irinotecan, temozolomide. Patients with a good response to therapy move on to Consolidation therapy, when very high doses of chemotherapy are given at two separate points to kill any remaining cancer cells. Following, transplant, radiation therapy is given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of Induction. The final stage of therapy is Post-Consolidation. During Post-Consolidation, dinutuximab is given with isotretinoin, with the goal of maintaining the response achieved with the previous therapy. Adding dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy may be better at treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Post-Induction Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and B-LLy

B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia · B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma · Central Nervous System Leukemia

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy and immunotherapy (chemo-immunotherapy) for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, which is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets on the surface of cells. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody that is linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells by binding to the CD22 protein on the surface of the cancer cell and delivering calicheamicin inside the cells to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase or calaspargase pegol work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Blinatumomab is a specialized type of monoclonal antibody known as a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE). It works by simultaneously binding to CD19 on cancer cells and CD3 on normal immune cells, bringing them together to destroy leukemia cells. Blinatumomab is a standard part of chemo-immunotherapy treatment for B-ALL. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin or blinatumomab. The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemo-immunotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first phase of therapy: Induction. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, to classify patients into post-induction treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients with HR B-ALL will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (consolidation, blinatumomab block 1, interim maintenance 1, blinatumomab block 2, delayed intensification, interim maintenance 2, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. The patients that receive inotuzumab will not receive part of consolidation or part of delayed intensification. Other aims of this study include evaluating 1) side effects of treatment using patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life, 2) the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens, 3) the relationship between levels of inotuzumab ozogamicin in the blood and side effects, 4) the impact of chemo-immunotherapy on the immune system and risk of infection, and 5) the impact of social determinants of health on outcomes. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.
