The Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) has been established by philanthropic funding to conduct multi-institutional research (clinical trials and observational studies) on pediatric hydrocephalus. In addition to philanthropic funding, the HCRN has also received an NIH NINDS Challenge Grant to support the network infrastructure which allows for the conduct of this and other network studies. The HCRN consists of multiple Clinical Centers and the Data Coordinating Center (DCC). The HCRN Core Data Project will obtain data about all neurosurgical hydrocephalus events from the network Clinical Centers, and create a database to be used by HCRN investigators. The ongoing maintenance of the Core Data Project serves two main purposes: 1) it will help investigators understand the variability, progression, and current treatment practices for hydrocephalus in children, with an ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention and providing recommendations on patient care and, 2) it will provide pilot and descriptive data necessary for hypothesis generation and study design (i.e. preliminary power analyses, recruitment projections) for studies under development by the HCRN. This multi-institutional database will be maintained throughout the lifetime of the HCRN, and may be useful for tracking trends in pediatric hydrocephalus over time. The Core Data Project will be an invaluable resource to the HCRN and will help stimulate new research protocols, identify potential need for future expansion of the network to incorporate additional patient populations, and provide a descriptive understanding of children with hydrocephalus cared for within the network.

This study will evaluate the use of non- TBI (total body irradiation) conditioning for B-ALL patients with low risk of relapse as defined by absence of NGS-MRD (next generation sequencing minimal residual disease) before receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Patients diagnosed with B-ALL who are candidates for HCT will be screened by NGS-MRD on a test of bone marrow done before the HCT. Subjects who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD negative will be eligible to receive a non-TBI conditioning regimen as part of the treatment cohort of the study. Subjects who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD positive will be treated as per treating center standard and will be followed in an observational cohort (HCT center standard of care).

This study is researching an experimental drug called ubamatamab, also referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on patients who have advanced ovarian cancer. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is on its own and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs (bevacizumab, cemiplimab, fianlimab and a standard chemotherapy drug, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD]), referred to as "combination drugs'. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug and its experimental combinations - How much study drug and fianlimab 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) and its combinations

Rationale: LTI-03 is an experimental medication breathed into the lungs using an inhaler. It is being studied for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a progressive, fatal lung disease caused by the death of lung cells involved in oxygen uptake and by progressive fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. As the disease progresses, patients experience loss of lung function and increased breathing problems. LTI-03 is hypothesized to treat IPF by protecting and restoring the function of the oxygen uptake cells and by controlling lung fibrosis which may result in improving lung scarring. The purpose of this research is to evaluate LTI-03 including: its safety, whether it causes side effects, whether it improves lung scarring, and whether it improves IPF symptoms. LTI-03 will be compared to placebo in patients diagnosed with IPF within the last 5 years. Patients on a stable dose of nintedanib, pirfenidone, or nerandomilast (if available by prescription) may participate. Trial Design: This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study that includes a 28-day Screening Period, a 24-week Treatment Period, and 4-week Follow-up Period. Study Assessments: Up to 9 visits to the study clinic will be required. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated with the following assessments: physical examination; collection of vital sign data (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation [SpO2] via pulse oximetry); heart data collected by 12-lead electrocardiogram; and collection of blood samples for safety laboratory tests. In addition, participants will be asked about any adverse events (side effects) they have experienced between clinic visits, if they have changed any medications, and if they are able to properly use their study drug inhaler. Participants will undergo a lung function test (spirometry) at every visit, which will be used to evaluate both safety and efficacy. Another test measuring the diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) will be required at Screening only. Blood samples will also be collected at each visit to measure disease biomarkers. At select visits patients will be asked to complete the Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis questionnaire to evaluate their IPF symptoms. Participants will also undergo a specialized lung scan (HRCT) at Baseline and at the End of Treatment to measure changes in lung fibrosis. Interventions: LTI-03 and placebo are provided in powder-filled capsules that participants will self- administer using an inhaler. Placebo capsules look like LTI-03 capsules but have no active ingredients. Approximately 120 participants will be randomly assigned in a blinded manner to one of study drug treatment groups.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a kidney condition. It happens when the body's immune system creates groups of proteins (called immune complexes) that build-up in the kidneys causing swelling (inflammation). Over time, this inflammation may lead to kidney damage and cause the kidneys to no longer work properly. The main aim of this study is to check how well mezagitamab changes protein levels in the urine (proteinuria) compared to placebo in adults with primary IgAN. A placebo looks like medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients in it. Other aims are to check how safe mezagitamab is and how well participants with primary IgAN can tolerate it compared to placebo, and to find out if and how well mezagitamab continues to maintain kidney function over the long term compared to placebo. Participants will be placed in 1 of the 2 treatment groups; the main group and the open-label group. In the main group, participants will be placed in 1 of the 2 treatment groups by chance (either mezagitamab or placebo) at a 2:1 ratio. This means that out of 3 participants, 2 will receive mezagitamab and 1 will receive placebo. The participants will receive either mezagitamab or placebo for almost half a year in two 1-year cycles. They will be observed for another half year in each 1-year cycle and will have check-ups about every month during this time. In the open-label group, a small number of participants who have lower levels of protein in their urine or have kidneys that do not filter the blood well, will receive mezagitamab treatment. This will include participants who have previously received mezagitamab in another study, TAK-079-1006. Every participant will receive mezagitamab in the same way as those in the main group receiving mezagitamab. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
