This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2/3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of elenestinib (BLU-263) + symptom directed therapy (SDT) with placebo + SDT in participants with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by SDT. Parts 1 and 2 will enroll participants with ISM. Participants enrolled in Part 2 will roll over onto Part 3 to receive treatment with elenestinib in an open-label fashion following completion of the earlier Part. Part K will enroll participants with ISM who have previously received an approved selective KIT inhibitor. The study also includes pharmacokinetic (PK) groups that will enroll participants with ISM.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and everolimus in treating pediatric and young adult patients with gliomas that have come back (recurrent). Trametinib acts by targeting a protein in cells called MEK and disrupting tumor growth. Everolimus is a drug that may block another pathway in tumor cells that can help tumors grow. Giving trametinib and everolimus may work better to treat low and high grade gliomas compared to trametinib or everolimus alone.

The purpose of this study is to compare two approaches for monitoring pancreatic cysts as well as to identify associated biomarkers. The study doctors want to compare more frequent monitoring versus less frequent monitoring as well as identify biomarkers which may improve risk detection of transformation to pancreatic cancer. The study doctors want to learn which monitoring method and which biomarkers lead to better outcomes for patients.

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 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 daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.

The Pompe Registry is a global, multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program for patients with Pompe disease, designed to track the disease's natural history and outcomes in patients, both treated and not. Data from the Registry are also used to fulfill various global regulatory commitments, to support product development/reimbursement, and for other research and non-research related purposes. The objectives of the Registry are: - To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention. - To assist the Pompe medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care. - To characterize the Pompe disease population. - To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.

This clinical trial is examining the action and effects of several new drugs in the treatment of cystic fibrosis in children. In addition, several genetic factors are examined. The hope is that the ability to determine prior to treatment those individuals who will or will not respond to existing therapies will avoid needless risk of side effects and the high cost of a potentially ineffective treatment regimen. Understanding the way these drugs work in the body and the best way to study them is critical to expanding the use of these drugs to all patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the VIDEO-PEDS intervention works to improve Goals of Care communication between clinicians and parents of children with cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the intervention improve Goals of Care documentation? Does it improve patient outcomes (including less invasive preferences for resuscitation and interventions, less hospital utilization, and more palliative care and hospice use)? Does it improve parent outcomes (including health satisfaction and feeling heard and understood per survey scores)?

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a treatable medical illness with three medications FDA approved for treatment. However, persons with OUD report significant sleep disturbance, even when treated with medications for opioid use disorder, leading to high rates of relapse. In this project, we will investigate a special set of photosensitive neurons in the retina as an underlying mechanism for circadian rhythm and sleep disturbance from opioid use and medications for OUD that could lead to novel intervention and improve treatment outcomes.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare, aggressive and life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation. Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is the most common form of this disease and is typically associated with several other clinical conditions (eg, malignancy associated HLH (mHLH), infection, or autoimmune disease). ELA026 is a fully human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) signal regulatory protein (SIRP)-directed monoclonal antibody designed to deplete the myeloid and T cells driving the inflammation. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ELA026 in participants with sHLH.

Over 1,900 mutations in the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein are implicated in causing Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Potential therapies that directly target defective CFTR are being evaluated in important clinical trials, but most target the most common CFTR mutation F508del. Many patients with rare CF mutations are not able to participate in those studies. The RARE study is specifically designed for people with CF caused by rare mutations. Eligible rare mutations are listed below: • CF patients who are heterozygous for pre-mature stop codons as noted below: i. one allele must be a F508del ii. the other allele must be a pre-mature stop codon mutation • CF Patients with other genotypes that require Study PI permission: i. CF patients with two mutations that are not eligible for Trikafta ii. CF patients homozygous or heterozygous (other allele must be F508del) for rare mutations of special interest (e.g., 711+3A->G, 2789+5G->A, 3272-26A->G, 3849+10kbC->T). Other rare mutations will be considered on a case by case basis This is a multi-site, specimen collection study. Investigators will collect blood, intestinal cells and nasal cells from each participant. Cells from these specimens will be used to test future CFTR modulators to see if they might work for people with study eligible rare mutations. Having cells to test in the lab is an important first step in identifying potential new therapies for people with these mutations.
