This study will compare the effectiveness of osimertinib alone with the combination of osimertinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in people with metastatic lung cancer that has a change (mutation) in the gene EGFR. Osimertinib alone is the usual treatment for metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Researchers think adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could possibly add to the anticancer effects of the usual treatment and help stop cancer from growing or spreading.

The main purpose of this study is to: - Learn about the safety of ubamatamab and to find out what dose of ubamatamab can be given alone or with cemiplimab to patients with ovarian cancer or cancer of the uterus - The study will also look at the levels of ubamatamab and/or cemiplimab in the body and measure how well the body can remove the study drug(s). This is called pharmacokinetics - The study will also look at any signs that ubamatamab alone or with cemiplimab can treat recurrent advanced ovarian cancer or cancer of the uterus - To find out how safe and tolerable pretreatment is in combination with ubamatamab and to see how well it works to prevent or minimize Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)

The objective of the rFVIIa for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Administered at Earliest Time (FASTEST) Trial is to establish the first treatment for acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within a time window and subgroup of patients that is most likely to benefit. The central hypothesis is that rFVIIa, administered within 120 minutes from stroke onset with an identified subgroup of patients most likely to benefit, will improve outcomes at 90 days as measured by the Modified Rankin Score (mRS) and decrease ongoing bleeding as compared to standard therapy. FASTEST Part 2 is an extension of the FASTEST Trial where the subgroups include those treated within 2 hours with a positive spot sign on a baseline CT angiogram or patients treated within 90 minutes of stroke onset, with or without a positive spot sign.

open study

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, GS-5319, its dosing, safety and tolerability when given as a single medication and as a combined medication in adults with solid tumors, where the participants show a specific gene alteration in the tumor. The gene helps produce methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) enzyme. MTAP enzyme helps in normal growth of cells. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of GS-5319 as monotherapy and combination therapy in participants with MTAP-deleted advanced solid tumors and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDE).

This study is researching an experimental drug called dupilumab (called "study drug"). The study is focused on children with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE; an inflammatory disease of the esophagus) which impacts feeding and nourishment. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is when given for 24 weeks to children with active EoE. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug - How much study drug is in the blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

open study

This is a multi-center, randomized, open label study that will assess the efficacy and safety of ACTEMRA(R) or one of its FDA-approved biosimilars Tocilizumab (TCZ) maintenance versus withdrawal in Giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients who are in remission after at least 12 months of high dose TCZ treatment. Eligible participants will also have discontinued glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone (or equivalent)) entirely at least three months before randomization. High dose TCZ treatment includes 6-8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) monthly or 162 mg subcutaneously (SC) weekly, which are two forms of administration that are commonly used in clinical practice and are equally efficacious in controlling GCA This research study has three parts: 1. The screening phase (up to 42 days) consists of collecting information about your health and your GCA, a physical exam, and blood tests to see If you qualify to enroll in the study 2. The study treatment phase (withdrawal/step down dosing phase study months 0 - 18) consists of you either completely stopping or decreasing your current dose of tocilizumab while collecting information about your health and your GCA as well as blood samples every two months at clinic visits 3. The safety follow-up phase (months 19-30) consists of collecting information about your health and your GCA as well as blood samples every three months The primary objective is to determine the rate of disease relapse at 18 months in participants with GCA who receive low-dose TCZ compared to those who discontinue TCZ
