HIV persists despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is associated with chronic inflammation. This inflammation is thought to prevent an effective immune response against the virus and is mediated at least in part by gut epithelial permeability and microbial translocation. HIV accumulates preferentially within Th17 cells with time on ART; these memory CD4+ T cells are highly susceptible to HIV infection and are concentrated within the gut. Vitamin D promotes gut epithelial integrity in animal models and exerts anti-inflammatory effects on the human immune system including down-modulation of Th17 cell frequency. This study will evaluate whether high dose vitamin D is able to reduce immune activation and Th17 cell frequency, to improve gut barrier integrity and the gut microbiome and reduce HIV persistence in participants on long-term suppressive ART.

The aim of this project is to determine whether latent HIV is enriched in cells expressing certain proteins (receptors) on their surface and whether it is possible to eliminate these cells through the use of drugs that specifically target these proteins. Lymph nodes are known to contain very high numbers of HIV infected cells.

This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with platinum doublet neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery \[neoadjuvant phase\], followed by pembrolizumab alone after surgery \[adjuvant phase\] in participants with resectable stage II, IIIA, and resectable IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypotheses of this study are that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) in combination with NAC, followed by surgery and adjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) will improve: 1) event free survival (EFS) by biopsy assessed by local pathologist or by investigator-assessed imaging using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); and 2) overall survival (OS).

This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of lucerastat oral monotherapy in adult subjects with Fabry disease.

This study has been designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sequential treatment with BELKYRA® (for the treatment of convexity and fullness associated with submental fat) and VOLUMA™ (to restore volume along the mandibular border) to enhance the overall contour of the jawline.

The intent and design of this Phase 3 study is to assess BMN 111 as a therapeutic option for the treatment of children with Achondroplasia

This is an umbrella study evaluating the efficacy and safety of multiple treatment combinations in participants with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced breast cancer. The study will be performed in two stages. During Stage 1, four cohorts will be enrolled in parallel in this study: Cohort 1 will consist of Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive participants who have received no prior systemic therapy for metastatic or inoperable locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (first-line \[1L\] PD-L1+ cohort). Cohort 2 will consist of participants who had disease progression during or following 1L treatment with chemotherapy for metastatic or inoperable locally-advanced TNBC and have not received cancer immunotherapy (CIT) (second-line \[2L\] CIT-naive cohort). Cohort 3 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HR+, HER2-negative disease with PIK3CA mutation who may or may not have had disease progression during or following previous lines of treatment for metastatic disease (HR+cohort). Cohort 4 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ /HER2-low disease with PIK3CA mutation who had disease progression on standard-of-care therapies (HER2+ /HER2-low cohort). In each cohort, eligible participants will initially be assigned to one of several treatment arms (Stage 1). In addition, participants in the 2L CIT-naïve cohort who experience disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity during Stage 1 may be eligible to continue treatment with a different treatment combination (Stage 2), provided Stage 2 is open for enrollment.

B7451015 is a Phase 3 study to evaluate Abrocitinib with or without Topical Medications in patients aged 12 years and older who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and have completed a qualifying parent study. The efficacy and safety of two dosage strengths of Abrocitinib, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily, will be evaluated over variable lengths of study participation. The study consists of a 92 week initial treatment period followed by a variable length secondary treatment period during which subjects will receive treatment with open-label abrocitinib until availability of commercial product in their country, or until the sponsor terminates the study in that country. The B7451015 study also includes a sub-study evaluating whether abrocitinib has any potential effects on adolescent bone with regard to abnormal bone findings in knee MRI. The sub-study will be conducted in selected countries at selected sites. Eligible subjects are those who were 12 to \<18 years of age at the screening visit of the qualifying parent study and who are currently participating in the main B7451015 study. The sub-study will include serial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) annually and continue until all enrolled subjects are 18 years of age and have been imaged at least once or have discontinued/withdrawn.

This study aims to find out the incidence of a reduced light adapted electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave amplitude in children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

The trial is an open-label, non-controlled, multicenter, pilot clinical trial of inhaled molgramostim (recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor; rhGM-CSF) in subjects with persistent pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. Participants will be treated for 24-weeks with inhaled molgramostim and followed up for 12-weeks after end of treatment. The primary aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of inhaled molgramostim on NTM sputum culture conversion to negative.
