Our overall objective is to obtain an initial assessment of the potential value of using [18F]3F4AP for imaging demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis: - Aim 1) Assess the safety of [18F]3F4AP in healthy volunteers and subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). Hypothesis 1: Administration of [18F]3F4AP will result in no changes in vitals or other adverse events. - Aim 2) Assess the pharmacokinetics of a bolus infusion of [18F]3F4AP in humans including healthy volunteers and MS patients. Hypothesis 2: the pharmacokinetics of [18F]3F4AP at the whole brain level will be similar in controls and MS subjects. The kinetics in demyelinated lesions will be slower than in healthy control areas. - Aim 3) Assess the reproducibility of [18F]3F4AP in humans. Hypothesis 3: the test/retest variability of [18F]3F4AP within the same subject will be lower than 10%. - Aim 4) Correlate MR brain images with [18F]3F4AP PET brain images. Hypothesis 4A: all the lesions seen on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET images. Hypothesis 4B: some of the lesions on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET but not all. - Aim 5) Correlate [18F]3F4AP PET signal with neuropsychological testing in people with MS. Hypothesis 5: increased PET signal (VT or SUV) will correlate with impaired Single Digit Modality Test (SDMT) scores. - Aim 6) Correlate [18F]3F4AP PET signal with EDSS score in people with MS. Hypothesis 6: increased PET signal (VT or SUV) will correlate with higher EDSS scores.

This is a Phase 1/2 open-label, multi-center, multi-national study with an initial dose escalation part to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of MCLA-158 single agent in patients with mCRC. The dose escalation part has been completed and the RP2D will be further evaluated in an expansion part of the study. Cohorts of selected solid tumor indications for which there is evidence of EGFR dependency and potential sensitivity to EGFR inhibition will be evaluated including head and neck cancer and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The study will further assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, immunogenicity, and anti-tumor activity of MCLA-158 in monotherapy or in combination with other therapies.

The objective of this prospective, multicenter controlled study is to assess the feasibility of a patient-tailored implantation by creating a cloud-based pre-procedural multimodality CRT-roadmap by integration of 3D images from 3D activation sequence from ECG, and coronary venous anatomy from cardiac computed tomography. This CRT-roadmap will be used to guide LV lead placement to a coronary vein in an electrically late-activated region. Study Hypothesis: At least 75% of patients undergoing a CRT implantation guided by non-invasive electrical and venous anatomy assessment (XSPLINE technology) will show a reduction of left ventricular end-systolic volume of 15% or more at 6-month evaluation.

Previous evidence has indicated that resection for recurrent glioblastoma might benefit the prognosis of these patients in terms of overall survival. However, the demonstrated safety profile of this approach is contradictory in the literature and the specific benefits in distinct clinical and molecular patient subgroups remains ill-defined. The aim of this study, therefore, is to compare the effects of resection and best oncological treatment for recurrent glioblastoma as a whole and in clinically important subgroups. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study. Recurrent glioblastoma patients will undergo tumor resection or best oncological treatment at a 1:1 ratio as decided by the tumor board. Primary endpoints are: 1) proportion of patients with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) deterioration at 6 weeks after surgery and 2) overall survival. Secondary endpoints are: 1) progression-free survival (PFS), 2) NIHSS deterioration at 3 months and 6 months after surgery, 3) health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, and 4) frequency and severity of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in each arm. Estimated total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is 4 years, follow-up is 1 year. The study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee (METC Zuid-West Holland/Erasmus Medical Center; MEC-2020-0812). The results will be published in peer-reviewed academic journals and disseminated to patient organisations and media.

Patients undergoing radiation for the treatment of malignancies may suffer from side effects to the skin in the form of radiation dermatitis. This can lead to local wound formation with poor healing. Treatment options for the resulting wound can range from watchful waiting to more aggressive debridement and secondary grafting. Epidermal grafting is a technique in which autologous epidermis is used to cover wounds that are larger than the donor site. Previous studies have demonstrated that this is an effective treatment for different wounds and ulcers but its utility has not yet been evaluated for the treatment of radiation induced injuries. The CelluTome Epidermal Grafting System is a semi automated device that allows easy formation of epidermal Blister. Our study will evaluate the efficacy of epidermal grafts collected using the CelluTome device in the treatment of radiation dermatitis.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and recommended dose of TRI-611 when administered to adults with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial will also evaluate the antitumor activity of TRI-611 in adults with ALK-positive NSCLC. The study will be conducted in two parts. The first part will examine different doses of TRI-611. The second part will look at how well TRI-611 works on ALK-positive NSCLC when administered to three groups of participants that differ based on what type of prior therapy they have received. In this study participants will: - Take TRI-611 on a continued basis, provided it is well-tolerated, for as long as their disease is not progressing - Visit the clinic approximately seven times in the first 3 months and then just once at the start of each 28-day cycle thereafter - Keep a diary of each time they take the study medication

The goal of this study is to see whether kisspeptin, a naturally occurring hormone, can stimulate the release of other reproductive hormones in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). The investigators are also examining whether kisspeptin can help women release eggs from their ovaries. Kisspeptin will be administered subcutaneously (SC) for two weeks in a pulsatile fashion. Ultrasound monitoring of ovarian follicular growth and frequent blood sampling (every 10 minutes for up to two hours) will be performed to assess the physiologic response to kisspeptin over time.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination of varenicline and enhanced accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (aTMS) works to help adults quit using nicotine products. Researchers will compare varenicline + active aTMS with a single dose of D-Clycloserine to varenicline + sham (inactive) aTMS with a placebo pill to see the effect of enhanced aTMS on reaching abstinence. The main question it aims to answer is: Does receiving active enhanced aTMS + varenicline lead to higher abstinence rates and lower nicotine craving? Participants will be asked to: - Complete 2 brain MRI scans - Take varenicline every day for 12 weeks - Quit using nicotine products at the end of the second week of varenicline - Complete one day of up to 20 TMS treatments - Take a single dose of D-Cycloserine medication on the day of TMS treatment - Complete 12 brief, weekly follow-up visits - Complete a brief daily survey each day that they take the study drug

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide. The purpose of this study is to assess change in disease activity when telisotuzumab adizutecan is given alone compared to standard of care (SOC) given alone. Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of CRC. This study will be divided into two groups called treatment arms. In arm 1 participants will receive telisotuzumab adizutecan alone. In arm 2 participants will receive SOC alone. Approximately 140 adult participants with CRC will be enrolled in the study in 45 sites worldwide. In arm 1, participants will receive intravenous (IV) doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan alone. In arm 2 Participants will receive SOC alone. The study will run for a duration of approximately 51 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
