Clinical Trials

Despite rapidly advancing developments in targeted therapeutics and genetic sequencing, persistent limits in the accuracy and throughput of clinical phenotyping has led to a widening gap between the potential and the actual benefits realized by precision medicine.

Recent advances in machine learning and image processing techniques have shown that machine learning models can identify features unrecognized by human experts and more precisely/accurately assess common measurements made in clinical practice.

This phase II clinical trial studies the addition of selinexor to lenalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma following transplant. Selinexor is an oral medication approved for use in patients with multiple myeloma following failure of other regimens, and lenalidomide is an oral medication approved for use in patients with multiple myeloma following transplant. This study is testing if the combination of selinexor and lenalidomide is more effective than lenalidomide alone in this setting.

Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-saving treatments.

Recent studies have shown that transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) can sometimes cause a type of heart failure where the pumping function of the heart is normal, also known as Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) or diastolic heart failure. In this single center diagnostic study, we will evaluate for ATTR in patients with HFpEF in order to to determine how frequently this occurs and how we can predict which heart failure patients may have TTR amyloidosis. Our goal is to identify amyloidosis in heart failure patients earlier so that they can start treatment.

In this study, the investigators will recruit a cohort of elderly Black and Hispanic patients with heart failure to define the number of patients who have cardiac amyloidosis by utilizing highly sensitive heart imaging and blood tests. The investigators will also explore differences in genetics and sex as they relate to heart failure disease progression in cardiac amyloidosis.

18F-Flutemetamol (Vizamyl) is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated and FDA-approved for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other causes of cognitive decline. This study is designed to evaluate a novel use for 18F-Flutemetamol in cardiac amyloidosis.

This is a prospective pilot clinical study of subjects with cardiac amyloidosis and control subjects without amyloidosis where we plan to evaluate changes in myocardial blood flow, systolic and diastolic function before and after sonotherapy.

This is a prospective, non-interventional, Long-term, multinational cohort safety study of patients with Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN). The overarching goal of this study is to further characterize the long-term safety of TEGSEDI (inotersen) in patients with hATTR-PN under real-world conditions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended dosing with eplontersen in participants with ATTR-CM.

The purpose of this study is to:

* Describe epidemiological and clinical characteristics, natural history and real-world clinical management of ATTR amyloidosis patients
* Characterize the safety and effectiveness of patisiran and vutrisiran as part of routine clinical practice in the real-world clinical setting
* Describe disease emergence/progression in pre-symptomatic carriers of a known disease-causing transthyretin (TTR) variant
