Safety of Tofacitinib, an Oral Janus Kinase Inhibitor, in Primary Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjogren's SyndromeBackground: An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system attacks a person s own body. Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease. It often involves multiple systems and organs of the body. Researchers are trying to find new, more effective and safe treatments for SS. Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerance of tofacitinib in people with SS. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-75 with SS. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They will undergo: Medical and dental history Physical exam Medicine review Electrocardiogram to test the heart s electrical activity (Participants will lay on a table. Sticky pads will be placed on their body.) Eye exam and test for dry eyes Oral, head, and neck exams Plaque collection (Dental plaques and tongue and mucosal scrapings will be collected using a small tongue depressor.) Salivary gland ultrasound Blood and urine tests Minor salivary gland biopsy (The lower lip will be numbed. Several tiny salivary glands will be removed through a small incision.) Saliva collection Disease assessment. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Participants will take capsules of the study drug or a placebo by mouth for 168 days. Participants will have tests to measure blood pressure and the speed of blood flow through the organs. They will also have a test that examines the function and reaction of the blood vessels. For these tests, they will wear blood pressure cuffs and other sensors. Participants will complete questionnaires about their health. Participants will have 9 study visits over 28 weeks. They may be contacted by phone between study visits.

Hepatopulmonary SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and possible benefit of letrozole compared to placebo in patients with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome.
Effects of Exercise and GLP-1 Agonism on Muscle Microvascular Perfusion and Insulin Action in Adults...
Metabolic SyndromeThe primary objective of this study is to examine whether exercise training alone, liraglutide treatment alone or exercise training plus liraglutide treatment increases cardiac and skeletal muscle microvascular blood volume, improves vascular function of the conduit vessels, and enhances insulin's metabolic action in humans with Metabolic Syndrome. Subjects will be randomized to one of the 4 groups: control, exercise training, liraglutide treatment, and exercise + liraglutide. They will be studied at the baseline and then after 24 weeks of intervention.
Treatment of POEMS Syndrome With Daratumumab
POEMS SyndromeThis trial investigates the use of Daratumumab (DARA), an antibody directed at the human cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) molecule, for the treatment of patients with Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, m Protein Component, Skin Changes (POEMS) syndrome. This trial will enroll ten subjects, who will complete 12 four-week cycles of DARA, in combination with the immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) lenalidomide. Objectives of this study include improvement in neuropathy and performance status, as well as improvement in laboratory values and survival.

CLAG-M or FLAG-Ida Chemotherapy and Reduced-Intensity Conditioning Donor Stem Cell Transplant for...
Recurrent Acute Myeloid LeukemiaRecurrent Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia7 moreThis phase I trial studies the best dose of total body irradiation when given with cladribine, cytarabine, filgrastim, and mitoxantrone (CLAG-M) or idarubicin, fludarabine, cytarabine and filgrastim (FLAG-Ida) chemotherapy reduced-intensity conditioning regimen before stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Giving chemotherapy and total body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells called graft versus host disease. Giving cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
A Study of APG-115 Alone or Combined With Azacitidine in Patients With AML, CMML, or MDS
AMLAcute Myeloid Leukemia5 moreThis is a two Part study in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that will initially evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-115 as a single agent in Part 1, followed by a combination of APG-115 + 5-azacitidine (5-AZA) in Part 2.
Vitamin D and Pregnancy Outcome in PCOS Patients
Polycystic Ovary Syndromein Vitro FertilizationThis multicenter double-blinded placebo-controlled randomised trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation prior to IVF on the live birth rate in women with PCOS. Women with PCOS scheduled for IVF will be enrolled. Eligible participants will be randomised 1:1 to receive oral capsules of 4000IU vitamin D per day or placebo for around 12 weeks until the day of triggering.
Dose Escalation/ Expansion Study of CA-4948 as Monotherapy in Patients With AML or MDS
Acute Myelogenous LeukemiaMyelodysplastic SyndromeThis is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2a dose escalation and expansion study of orally administered emavusertib (CA-4948) monotherapy in adult patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Patients enrolling in the Phase 1 portion of the study must meet one of the following criteria prior to consenting to the study: R/R AML with FLT3 mutations who have been previously treated with a FLT3 inhibitor R/R AML with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1 R/R hrMDS with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1 Number of pretreatments: 1 or 2 The Phase 2a Dose Expansion will be in 3 Cohorts of patients: R/R AML with FLT3 mutations who have been previously treated with a FLT3 inhibitor; R/R AML with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1; and R/R hrMDS (IPSS-R score > 3.5) with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1. All patients above have had ≤ 2 lines of prior systemic anticancer treatment. In previous versions of this protocol there was a Phase 1b portion of the study, in which patients with AML or hrMDS received CA-4948 in combination with venetoclax. This part of the study is no longer open for enrollment.
Ivosidenib and Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of IDH1 Mutant Relapsed or Refractory...
Recurrent Acute Myeloid LeukemiaRecurrent Myelodysplastic Syndrome3 moreThis phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ivosidenib when given together with combination chemotherapy for the treatment of 1DH1 mutant acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the IDH1 mutation and some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ivosidenib with combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to chemotherapy alone.
