The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolmab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus placebo, is safe and effective for delaying or preventing recurrence of cancer in participants who have experienced partial or entire removal of a kidney.

The Reduction of oxygen after cardiac arrest (EXACT) is a multi-centre, randomised, controlled trial (RCT) to determine whether reducing oxygen administration to target an oxygen saturation of 90-94%, compared to 98-100%, as soon as possible following successful resuscitation from OHCA improves outcome at hospital discharge.

Adequate antifungal therapy is a critical determinant of survival in patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with suspected or proven fungal infections. Critical illness can alter the way human body handles antifungal agents, i.e. how the drugs are distributed in the body and removed from the body. Consequently, these changes can increase the risk of inappropriate antifungal exposure that may lead to adverse consequence on patients' outcome. Developing an evidence-based antifungal dosing guideline is of global significance and should be considered a priority to improving clinical outcomes for patients receiving antifungal agents The aim of the SAFE-ICU Study is to develop optimised antibiotic dosing guidelines for ICU patients with life-threatening infections that account for patient characteristics. This will be achieved through completion of the following aims: i) Describe detailed demographic, clinical and plasma antibiotic concentration-time data in a large ICU patient cohort; ii) Perform a robust statistical analysis of the data collected in Aim 1 to develop an enhanced preliminary prediction algorithm for antifungal dosing. This is a multi-national study and will enrol ICU patients who are prescribed an antifungal agent (fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, isavuconazole, caspofungin, anidulafungin, micafungin or amphotericin B). A minimum of 12 patients per drug will be enrolled across at least 15 countries and up to 80 ICUs. Eligible patients are those admitted to the ICU, who are prescribed an antifungal agent (fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, isavuconazole, caspofungin, anidulafungin, micafungin or amphotericin B). Blood samples will be taken to measure drug concentration. Sampling will occur on two occasions, first during study days 1-3 and then a second time between days 4-7, each over an 8-24 hour period. Blood samples will be taken from a vascular access device already inserted for ICU patient care. Abdominal samples from abdominal indwelling drains already inserted peri operatively will also be collected on these two occasions in the subgroup of patients with intra-abdominal infection. Data on infection, various blood tests and patient specific data will be collected using a structured case report form (CRF). Patients will also be followed up 30 days after enrolment into the study to evaluate 30-day mortality. Collected samples will be frozen and stored locally and then shipped in large batches for processing at Burns Trauma and Critical Care Research Centre, The University of Queensland, Australia. Data analysis for development of antifungal dosing algorithms will also be undertaken at The University of Queensland, Australia.

Treatment extension study for ALS/MND patients who participated in phase 1 study CMD-2016-001, completed assessments following six 28-day cycles of treatment, and whom the Investigator considers would benefit from continued CuATSM treatment.

The purpose of this study is to test whether giving tranexamic acid to patients receiving treatment for blood cancers reduces the risk of bleeding or death, and the need for platelet transfusions. Patients will be randomised to receive tranexamic acid (given intravenously through a drip, or orally) or a placebo.

This is a Phase 1/2 open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, steady-state pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, bomedemstat (IMG-7289/MK-3543), administered orally once daily in participants with myelofibrosis. The primary hypothesis is that bomedemstat is a safe and tolerable orally available agent when administered to participants with myelofibrosis including primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythaemia vera-myelofibrosis (PPVMF), and post-essential thrombocythaemia-myelofibrosis (PET-MF) (collectively referred to as 'MF'); inhibition of LSD1 by bomedemstat will reduce spleen size in those with splenomegaly, improve haematopoiesis and reduce constitutional symptoms associated with these disorders.

This Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of obinutuzumab in combination with idasanutlin and venetoclax in participants with R/R FL and obinutuzumab or rituximab in combination with idasanutlin and venetoclax in participants with R/R DLBCL. The study will include an initial dose-escalation phase followed by an expansion phase. The dose-escalation phase is designed to determine the recommended phase II doses (RP2Ds) and regimen for idasanutlin and venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab for FL participants and in combination with rituximab for DLBCL participants.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of early activity and mobilisation during prolonged IMV on the composite outcome "days alive and out of hospital to day 180". The effect of the intervention on mortality, physical, cognitive and psychological function at 180 days, as well as cost-effectiveness of the intervention, will also be evaluated. The study will also explore process of care measures and baseline physiology and ICU mobility outcomes. The hypothesis is that, in ICU patients expected to require prolonged IMV, early activity and mobilisation increases the number of days alive and at home to day 180 when compared with standard care.

In many types of human tumors, PD-L1 is highly expressed. Such high expression has often been associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients. SHR-1316 is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to human PD-L1.

Keynote 695 is Phase 2 study of intratumoral tavokinogene telseplasmid (tavo; pIL-12) Electroporation (EP) plus IV Pembrolizumab. Eligible patients will be those with pathological diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic melanoma who are progressing or have progressed on either pembrolizumab or nivolumab.
