Survivors of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) experience a range of mild to severe sequelae that impact upon their quality of life. The majority of studies to date have focused on the impact of IMD on childhood and very little is known about the impact of the disease on adolescents and young people. The aim of this study is to assess the physical, neurocognitive, economic and societal impact of IMD on adolescents and young adult Australian survivors. Hypothesis: 1. Adolescents and young adult survivors who are 2 to 10 years post IMD have significantly poorer outcomes including intellectual functioning and quality of life when compared to healthy controls. 2. IMD imposes a significant financial burden upon individuals, families and society. 3. Serogroup B disease is associated with an increased risk of sequelae when compared to non-B serogroup IMD. Study design: This a multi-centre, case-control mixed-methods study. Survivors of IMD (retrospective and prospective cases) and non-IMD healthy controls will be invited to participate in the study. Retrospective IMD cases admitted in the previous 10 years will be identified through each of the participating hospitals (paediatric and adult hospitals). During the course of the study prospective recruitment of IMD cases will also occur at participating hospitals. Meningococcal foundations/groups will also be approached and asked to advertise and conduct a mail out to their members to inform them about the study. Healthy controls will be prospectively recruited by "snowballing technique" whereby enrolled IMD cases will be asked to distribute a study information sheet to their healthy friends/acquaintances who are approximately the same age. Control participants may also be identified from databases at each participating site or through community advertising. Enrolled cases will undergo a neurocognitive, psychological and physical examination 2 - 10 years post IMD admission. A subset of IMD cases will be invited to participate in a semi-structured interview. Controls will also undergo neurocognitive, psychological and physical examination.

This is a non-interventional/observational cohort of unresectable Stage III NSCLC patients treated with durvalumab. The study will be carried out as a retrospective review of established medical records of unresectable Stage III NSCLC patients treated with durvalumab.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of an oral solution of CDX-6114 when administered as a single dose in healthy volunteers

This is an Investigator initiated retrospective and prospective single cohort study. The study will utilize an international registry and develop a specimen biobank to provide an improved understanding of the natural history of hyposplasminogenemia, to elucidate the heterogeneity of phenotypic expression, identify markers to predict disease course, and inform improved therapeutic modalities

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) in participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), glioblastoma (GBM), biliary tract cancers (BTC), or pancreatic cancer.

This dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax in combination with AMG 176 in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and participants with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)/diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study will include a dose escalation phase to identify the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RPTD) of venetoclax plus AMG 176 as well as a dose expansion phase to confirm safety, explore efficacy, and confirm the suitability of the preliminary RPTD.

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PF 04965842 in adolescent participants 12 to \<18 years of age with moderate to severe AD.

The primary objective of this study is to determine if left atrial appendage closure with the WATCHMAN FLX Device is a reasonable alternative to oral anticoagulation following percutaneous catheter ablation for high risk patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

This is a registry study in children with achondroplasia, age 0-10 years, to be conducted at multiple clinical centers in several countries. Information collected will include in anthropometric characteristics, related symptoms, tests, \& treatments Children's information will be collected in the registry for a maximum of 5 years.

This phase II trial studies how well irinotecan hydrochloride, temozolomide, and dinutuximab work with or without eflornithine in treating patients with neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or that isn't responding to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide, 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 dinutuximab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Eflornithine blocks the production of chemicals called polyamines that are important in the growth of cancer cells. Giving eflornithine with irinotecan hydrochloride, temozolomide, and dinutuximab, may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
