Study design: Randomised, controlled, multi-centre, open-label, phase III trial (with a single intervention registration phase). Primary Objectives The primary objectives of this study are to determine: The impact on Depth of Response (DoR: less than VGPR versus VGPR or better) when salvage ASCT conditioning is augmented by the addition of a proteasome inhibitor The influence of a consolidation and maintenance strategy on the Durability of Response (DuR:PFS) Secondary objectives The secondary objectives of this study are to determine: Overall survival Time to disease progression The overall response rate following ixazomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone (ITD) re-induction Time to next treatment Progression-free survival 2 (PFS2) Duration of response Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negative rate post re-induction, post-ASCT and conversion after ITD consolidation Engraftment kinetics Toxicity and safety Quality of life (QoL) Participant population (refer to protocol section 9 for a full list of eligibility criteria). Relapsed MM (with measurable disease by IMWG criteria) previously treated with ASCT First progressive disease (PD) at least 12 months since first ASCT, requiring therapy. ECOG Performance Status 0-2 Aged at least 18 years Adequate full blood count and renal, hepatobiliary, pulmonary and cardiac function Written informed consent Interventions: All participants will be registered at trial entry and will receive re-induction therapy with 4-6, 28-day cycles of ixazomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone (ITD), in order to reach maximum response. Participants who achieve at least stable disease (SD) will be randomised on a 1:1 basis to receive either conventional ASCT (ASCTCon), using melphalan, or augmented ASCT (ASCTAug), using melphalan with ixazomib. All participants achieving or maintaining a minimal response (MR) or better following trial ASCT will undergo a second randomisation to consolidation and maintenance or no further treatment. Participants randomised to consolidation and maintenance will receive treatment as follows: consolidation with 2 cycles of ITD and maintenance with ixazomib until disease progression. Number of participants: 406 participants will be registered into the trial to allow 284 participants to be randomised at the first randomisation (R1) and 248 participants to be randomised at the second randomisation (R2).

The work proposed herein aims to provide the first prospective, randomized comparative efficacy data between Melphalan and BEAM treatment regimen in the Multiple Myeloma (MM) patient population. The risk of such a study is deemed reasonable and ethical since: a) previous works have closely examined the safety and toxicity of the BEAM regimen and the doses to be delivered in this protocol are well below the toxicity levels; b) phase III trials of BEAM have provided reasonable data regarding the efficacy in lymphomas c) Early, retrospective data suggests that BEAM may be efficacious in MM however due to the lack of prospective controlled randomized clinical trial, there is adequate equipoise regarding its efficacy and moreover its comparative efficacy in relation to Melphalan and; D) there are known limitations in the standard-of-care for MM, Melphalan, namely, relatively low rates of complete response at the time of Autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and poor progression free survival.

The investigators have previously confirmed a clinical hunch that women with asthma have difficulties in becoming pregnant. The investigators found increased time to pregnancy (TTP) in women with asthma compared to non-asthmatic women (55 vs 33 months, p<0.001), furthermore, women with asthma had less successful pregnancies following fertility treatment (39.6 vs 60.4%, p=0.002). Treatment with omalizumab stabilizes the eosinophilic disease, through the systemic and most likely the anti-inflammatory pathways, which indicate a promising possibility to increase pregnancy rate. In a small real-life study in 2017, 5 patients with eosinophilic asthma who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF), were treated with omalizumab prior to embryo transplantation; three out of the five women became pregnant. Lastly, the two remaining patients had several treatments with omalizumab, but did not become pregnant. This real-life study calls for further investigation. By targeting systemic inflammation with omalizumab treatment the aim is to increase asthma control before and during pregnancy. A treatment strategy aiming at improving overall inflammatory control may increase fertility, but also reduce well known maternal and perinatal adverse pregnancy outcomes such as pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, low-birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA), preterm delivery. Study design: A randomized control trial with omalizumab and placebo, stratified for blood eosinophil count, is therefore needed. A randomized, double blinded, parallel group, study to evaluate the difference between omalizumab (O) and placebo (P) on pregnancy rate in patients with atopic asthma.Treatment schedule: After collection of material (blood samples, sputum, secretion of the vagina, secretion of the rectum, microbiota) 6th day (±1 day) of the menstrual cycle, the patients will be randomized in either the omalizumab group or the placebo group. No collection of material will be done at the time of enrollment, as this will be on different time of the female cycles. The treatment is initiated with one injection with weight and serum-immunglobulin E balanced omalizumab or one injection placebo. After omalizumab treatment at ovulation it will again be collected material (blood samples, sputum, secretion of the vagina, secretion of the rectum, secretion of the uterus, microbiota). If no pregnancy has occurred after first IVF cycle, this will be repeated for 3 consecutive IVF cycles in total or until pregnancy has occurred. Outcome: The primary out-come is efficacy of omalizumab, compared to placebo, in increasing pregnancy rate in females with asthma. Secondary out-comes are changes in the inflammation in lungs/systemic/uterus, change in microbiota in the uterus and lungs, pregnancy loss, asthma control and biomarkers in the blood/lungs/uterus.

This is a study to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of upadacitinib in pediatric participants with polyarticular course juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This study consists of three parts: Part 1 is multiple-cohort study that consists of two sequential multiple dose groups. Participants benefiting from the study drug with no ongoing adverse events of special interest or serious adverse events will have option to enroll in Part 2. Part 2 is open-label, long term extension study to evaluate safety and tolerability. Part 3 is an additional safety cohort to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CS1-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy after chemotherapy in treating patients who have CS1 positive multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immune cells can be engineered to kill multiple myeloma cells by inserting a piece of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into the immune cells using a lentiviral vector such as CS1, that allows them to recognize multiple myeloma cells. These engineered immune cells, CS1-CAR T cells, may kill multiple myeloma cells.

This is a single center, open-label ,phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted CD19/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor engineered T cell immunotherapy (CART) in the treatment of CD19/CD22 positive Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

This two year study will evaluate the effects of giving belimumab (Benlysta) to patients with Early Lupus. Early lupus is a diagnosis of lupus within 2 years. Subjects will be randomized to receive belimumab or placebo during the first year. During the second year, subjects who were randomized to belimumab will be rerandomized to continue to receive belimumab or to receive placebo. The study will look at clinical effects as well as effects on the immune system.
