Principal Investigator:
Maria Diaz Ordonez, MDThe main purpose of this study is to determine a dose of AZD9574 that is safe and tolerable (does not cause side effects that could prevent people from taking the drug) when given alone or in combination with temozolomide. The study will also evaluate how much of the study drug is in your blood at various times. In addition, the action of the study drug will be evaluated by measuring specific chemicals in the blood. All parts of this study are experimental which means AZD9574 is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is the first time AZD9574 has been tested in... -
Principal Investigator:
Karen L. Bell, MDWe are seeking men & women, ages 55 to 80, who have preclinical Alzheimer's disease for a 216-week treatment, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-treatment arm study to determine whether the BAN2401 study drug will reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The study participant will receive MRI, and PET scans and will receive intravenous study drug or placebo every 2 weeks. -

Principal Investigator:
Thomas H. Brannagan III, MDThis study is a Phase 2b, Multi-center, Randomized, Quadruple-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Batoclimab Treatment in Adult Participants with Active Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy CIDP): patients who are being treated with batoclimab defined as intravenous immunoglobulin IVIg, subcutaneous immunoglobulin SCIg) or plasma exchange (PLEX) treatment and the drug is not FDA approved. The mechanism of action of batoclimab is to inhibit FcRn-mediated recycling of IgG antibodies thereby decreasing IgG including autoreactive IgG levels in the circulation. In Period 1, all... -
Principal Investigator:
Fabio M. Iwamoto, MDThe purpose of this study is to compare the usual radiation therapy and usual chemotherapy, temozolomide, to using the usual radiation therapy and usual chemotherapy plus the chemotherapy drug lomustine (Gleostine). Lomustine (Gleostine) is already approved by the FDA for use in brain tumors but it is usually used alone and is not the first-line choice for methylated MGMT tumors. Adding a second chemotherapy drug, lomustine (Gleostine), to usual chemotherapy and radiation therapy could extend your life or shrink or stabilize your cancer. But, it could also cause side effects, which the study... -

Principal Investigator:
Lawrence Sterling Honig, MD, PhDThis study is of a drug called CT1812, that is being evaluated as a possible treatment for Dementia with Lewy Bodies. In this study, which is carried out at multiple sites in the country, participants receive either CT1812 at one of two doses or placebo. The duration of the study is up to about 35 weeks. Participants receive blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid testing, pen and paper tests, and an MRI scan as part of the study procedures. -
Principal Investigator:
Maria Diaz Ordonez, MDThe purpose of this study is to measure how safe eflornithine is in combination with temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) following radiation therapy. Safety and tolerability will be determined on the basis of physical exams, laboratory tests, and questions about any problems you might experience during the study. This study will also measure levels of eflornithine in patients following dosing, and it will evaluate how effective eflornithine is as a treatment of GBM when combined with temozolomide. Eflornithine is an experimental drug, which means that... -

Principal Investigator:
Fabio M. Iwamoto, MDThis study is being done to answer the following question: Can we shrink or stabilize your brain cancer by adding immune therapy drugs to the usual radiation therapy? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your recurrent glioblastoma. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for recurrent glioblastoma.
