The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fosmanogepix (administered IV or oral) for the treatment of adult patients with invasive mold infections. The study is looking for patients who have been diagnosed with invasive mold infections. The maximum study duration will be approximately 8 months, including a target study treatment duration of 84 days which can be extended up to 180 days and follow-up period. The patient will be assigned to one of two treatment cohorts: Cohort A (primary therapy): Patients will receive either the study drug or institutional standard of care antifungal treatment. Cohort B (salvage treatment; i.e. treatment given after patients did not respond to previous treatments or did not tolerate them): Patients will receive the study drug The primary aim is to compare the all cause mortality with a fixed threshold at Day 42.

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant carboplatin and mirvetuximab soravtansine in participants with folate receptor alpha (FRα) -expressing advanced-stage serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). Mirvetuximab Soravtansine (MIRV) is an investigational antibody drug conjugate designed to selectively kill cancer cells. The antibody (protein) part of MIRV targets tumors by delivering a cell-killing drug to cancer cells carrying a protein called folate receptor alpha (FRα). This is a single arm study in adult participants with advanced-stage Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique (FIGO) III-IV FRα-expressing serous EOC. Around 140 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 80 sites in the United States. Participants will receive intravenous infusion of MIRV in combination with carboplatin on day 1 of each cycle, every 21 days for up to 6 - 9 Cycles. The total study duration will be approximately 3 years . There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent medical assessments, blood tests, and scans.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with certain advanced solid tumors. Advanced means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be removed with surgery. Solid tumors are cancers mostly in body organs and tissues, not in the blood or other body liquids. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of MK-3120 and if people tolerate it.

Opioid overdose deaths have reached historically high records in the United States and are particularly concentrated among patients after emergency department (ED) discharge. Evidence-based treatment modules to reduce repeat opioid overdose and mortality are lacking in this patient population. A bundled intervention is proposed, including telehealth, peer support specialist, buprenorphine, and linkage for definitive care, that is designed to increase treatment uptake in this patient population post-ED discharge, reduce repeat opioid overdoses, and end overdose deaths.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants. Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion.

The study duration will be up to 56 weeks for participants not entering the long-term safety study (LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]) including a 2 to 4-week screening, a 36-week randomized double-blind period, and a 16-week safety follow-up. The study duration will be up to 40 weeks for participants entering the long-term safety study (LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]) including a 2 to 4-week screening and a 36-week randomized double-blind period.

This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial tests how well AMG 510 (sotorasib) with or without panitumumab works in treating patients with KRAS G12C mutant solid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Sotorasib is in a class of medications called KRAS inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells. Panitumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Giving combination panitumumab and sotorasib may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation.

A greater understanding of plasticity after central vision loss can inform new therapies for treating low vision and has the potential to benefit millions of individuals suffering from low vision. The treatment of low vision is particularly relevant to the mission of the NEI to support research on visual disorders, mechanisms of visual function, and preservation of sight. The comparison of different training and outcome factors is in line with the NIMH RDOC framework and studies in an aging population are consistent with the mission of the NIA.

This phase II trial tests the effect of giving pembrolizumab in combination with radiation therapy after chemotherapy in preventing surgery to remove the bladder in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Standard of care therapy includes chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink or get rid of the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Photon beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses x-rays or gamma rays that come from a special machine called a linear accelerator. The radiation dose is delivered at the surface of the body and goes into the tumor and through the body. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with radiation therapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may help prevent surgical removal of the bladder in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
