Study of Capmatinib in Chinese Adult Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring...
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)The purpose of the study is to learn whether the study treatment (capmatinib), which already shows efficacy and safety in non-Chinese patients, could help Chinese patients with controlling their lung cancer in a safe way. Participants will have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung lancer (NSCLC), with a specific alteration in a part of their DNA (called mutation) of the MET gene, within a specific part of this gene called exon 14. Participants who have advanced (or metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer with specific mutations in the MET gene but without mutations in the EGFR or ALK genes, who are aged 18 years or older will be enrolled in this study. The study drug, capmatinib (also known as INC280), is an oral drug that is called a 'targeted' medicine, which means it targets particular processes that may not be working properly in cancer cells (called dysregulation). The dysregulation of the MET signaling in cancer cells of patients with NSCLC is believed to make the cancer worse. Capmatinib has been shown to selectively block the effects of the MET gene and therefore may help in keeping the disease under control, stopping cancer cells from growing.

Inhaled Tobramycin in BPD
Bronchopulmonary DysplasiaThis study is an open-label, phase 1, sequential dose escalation trial seeking to establish preliminary tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data for up to 4 different doses of inhaled tobramycin administered to very preterm infants with BPD who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and have a pathogenic Gram-negative organism detected by tracheal aspirate culture.
LB-100, Carboplatin, Etoposide, and Atezolizumab for the Treatment of Untreated Extensive-Stage...
Extensive Stage Lung Small Cell CarcinomaThis phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of LB-100 when given together with carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab for the treatment of untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs such as carboplatin and etoposide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. LB-100 has been shown to make anticancer drugs (chemotherapy) work better at killing cancer. LB-100 blocks a protein on the surface of cells called PP2A. Blocking this protein makes the tumor cells that express PP2A divide. This allows standard chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab work better at killing the tumor cells since these drugs work best at destroying cells that are dividing. Giving LB-100 in combination with standard chemotherapy drugs may work better to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer compared to standard chemotherapy drugs alone.
Saracatinib in the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)Scarring of the lung, termed pulmonary fibrosis (PF), is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal disorder. While two anti-fibrotic drugs have been approved for treating PF of unknown cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF), neither drug is curative, and nearly 40% of patients stop taking the prescribed drug within a year because of side effects. The study includes the use of saracatinib, an investigational drug originally developed to treat certain types of cancers, in the treatment of IPF in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial. The objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and to explore the efficacy of saracatinib in IPF; ii) identify biomarkers of Src kinase activity and fibrogenesis linked to pulmonary fibrosis; and iii) explore the application of these biomarkers to assess the anti-fibrotic effect of saracatinib in IPF patients

Prevention of Airway Obstruction Events
Sleep ApneaMixed Central and ObstructiveThe standard for treatment for people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome involves the use of Continuous, or Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP, APAP) machines, which work by delivering air via tubing and mask to a patient at pressures of up to 20cmH2O. This increased pressure is meant to stabilize the airway to reduce obstruction events. APAP machines are generally more effective and more comfortable for patients than CPAP machines because these devices automatically adjust pressure to treat an apnea. However, this treatment is reactive and often ineffective since the necessary pressure is applied seconds after breathing has already stopped; The results of a previous study performed showed strong indications for predicting an apnea before it occurs using measurements collected by existing sensors of the CPAP and APAP machines. If apnea events can be predicted before they occur, the air pressure required to treat them could be supplied ahead of time, preventing the apnea from occurring. The hypothesis to be tested is whether obstructive sleep apnea events can be prevented, by predicting their onset ahead of time and adjusting the airway pressure accordingly.
Safety Study of Inhaled Carbon Monoxide to Treat Sepsis-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome...
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeSepsisThis study is a multi-center, randomized, partially double-blind, and placebo-controlled Phase Ib clinical trial of inhaled CO (iCO) for the treatment of sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and accuracy of a Coburn-Forster-Kane (CFK) equation-based personalized iCO dosing algorithm to achieve a target carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level of 6-8% in patients with sepsis-induced ARDS. We will also examine the biologic readouts of low dose iCO therapy in patients with sepsis-induced ARDS.
