READY 1: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active and Placebo-Controlled Study on the Use of CUSA-081 For Dysfunctional Central Venous Access Devices (CVAD’s)
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03594175?term=READY+1&draw=2&rank=1
Sponsor: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A
Principal Investigator: Gustavo Elias, MD
Sub Investigator: Sam Hijaz, MD
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that CUSA-081 compared to placebo (normal saline) is better at restoring function to dysfunctional central venous access devices (CVADs) that have been blocked, compare CUSA-081 to alteplase (the current standard of care for occluded CVAD's), to study how often the CVADs gets blocked within 30 days and safety of the study drug.
Cancer Trials
Mtg-022 Translational Medicine: Discovery and Evaluation of Biomarkers/Pharmacogenomics for the Diagnosis and Personalized Management of Patients. Under the Mtg-022 Master Protocol Are the Following Sop Studies: Mt1410-A, mt9920, mt1822-a and Mt1822-B.
Sponsor: The MT Group
Principal Investigator: Jeffery Pelton, MD
MT9920 SOP: This study is designed to evaluate biomarkers in samples of patients with cancer. In many cases, the investigation is to identify novel markers to create new anti-cancer therapies and companion diagnostics. The biomarkers could be present in plasma, serum, or the tumor tissue itself. In addition, some tumors will be used in a culture environment to determine the efficacy of novel anti-cancer drugs and some tissues will be mined to isolate, purify, and culture tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, to evaluate immune reactivity in patients.
MT 1822-B LDCT: This study is designed to evaluate biomarker/molecular characteristics in plasma and buffy coat collected from patients scheduled to undergo a low dose CT scan (LDCT) procedure.
Principal Investigator: J. Timothy Sherwood, MD

Integrated Care Repository for Cancer Research (iCaRe2)
Sponsor: University of Nebraska Medical Center
Principal Investigator for Breast Registry: Darlene K. Blanchard, MD
Principal Investigator for Thoracic Registry: J. Timothy Sherwood, MD
Purpose of this registry: The data registry, Integrated Care Repository for Cancer Research (iCaRe2), will provide core support services for multi-disciplinary research for cancer. It is the hope that future research using information from this registry will lead to improved diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer.

Infectious Disease Trials
Observational Cohort Study of Cabenuva Utilization, Outcomes and Patient Experience in the United States (Beyond)
Sponsor: ViiV Healthcare
Principal Investigator: Norman Bernstein, MD
The BEYOND study is a prospective, observational, multisite cohort study of adult participants initiating treatment with Cabenuva (cabotegravir long-acting plus rilpivirine long-acting) in the US. The purpose of the BEYOND study is to better understand reasons why participants and clinicians have chosen to initiate Cabenuva, participants' reasons for switching to Cabenuva, their experience and satisfaction with Cabenuva, their medical history, and their quality of life.
Physician Initiated Studies
Meldb_ Development of a Prospective Database for Surgically Resectable Melanoma Patients With Gene Expression Profile Testing.
Principal Investigator: Jeffrey Pelton, MD
This study will develop a prospective digital database regarding information on all patients with Stage I-III cutaneous melanoma (henceforth referred to as “Melanoma Database”). The database will include clinical details, pathology details, and Gene Expression Profile (GEP) results. The information in the database would be collected prospectively and would be used in future retrospective studies in correlating GEP results, and other clinical and pathologic details, with patient overall survival, recurrence rates and recurrence-free survival. Retrospective review of the database could also be used to examine what types of treatments patients received and patient outcomes after those treatments, especially correlated to GEP results.
