This study is open to adults with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 3819026 that people with advanced cancer can tolerate when taken alone and together with ezabenlimab. BI 3819026 and ezabenlimab are study medicines that may fight cancer. Participants first receive one treatment of BI 3819026 alone, followed by treatment with a combination of BI 3819026 and ezabenlimab. Different doses of BI3819026 are given to small groups of participants, starting with the lowest dose. Treatment with the next higher dose of BI 3819026 starts only if the previous dose was tolerated. Each participant remains on the same dose of BI 3819026 throughout the study. Participants are in the study for up to 2 years as long as they can tolerate the treatment and their condition does not get worse. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. The doctors look at the occurrence of certain health problems. They also regularly take blood samples, image participants' tumours, and take note of any unwanted effects.

Many people develop intolerance to light after a head injury, leading to ambient light levels causing discomfort. We do not fully understand why this occurs and how it should be treated. A growing number of clinicians have reported improvement in TBI related symptoms reported by patients that undergo daily fixation training with a dim light target. While fixation training using various colored light targets is reported, blue light targets specifically appear to be used in this patient population more often than other light target colors. However, the effectiveness of this approach has yet to be assessed in a well-controlled clinical study. In this work, we will recruit individuals who had a recent brain injury and developed increased light sensitivity. Participants will be divided into two groups: one that first uses daily 20 minute sessions for 12 weeks with the at-home fixation device set to display a blue light target; and another that will undergo similar sessions for 12 weeks using a red light target. Every 6 weeks, masked examiners will measure how well participants can read letters on an eye chart, record pupil responses to light, measure the side vision, measure eye alignment and focusing ability when viewing a near target, and collect information about participants' symptoms. In a cross-over study design, the participants will then switch to sessions involving the other colored fixation light target for another 12 weeks, with data being again collected every 6 weeks. Potential differences in pupil responses to light between the treatment groups will be assessed as an objective outcome measure and compared to subjective symptom survey information. Thus, this work will test the hypothesis that daily fixation training using a blue light target can alleviate light intolerance in participants after head injury more than fixation training with a red light target, and this improvement is associated with altered pupil responses to light. As a significant minority of eye care clinicians currently utilize this approach in this population of patients, this study has the potential to influence clinical practice patterns whether the fixation training is shown to be effective or not.

The research study is being conducted to better understand the effects of ketosis on brain functioning and the acute effects of alcohol. Participants will be asked to undergo ~4 weeks of ketogenic diet intervention. The study involves three lab visits: Lab 1 before starting the diet, Lab 2 after about 2 weeks after starting the diet, and Lab 3 after being on the diet for 4 weeks. All of the labs will include an alcohol tolerance test, and blood draws. Lab 1 and Lab 3 will also include an Magnetic resonance imaging scan. Due to scheduling, study procedures at 2 and 4 weeks may occur +/- 3 days. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain will measure levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) (a coenzyme that is important for energy metabolism), lactate (a metabolite produced during energy metabolism), and neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Alcohol tolerance will be tested using a dose of alcohol (approximately 4-5 alcohol beverages) to will elevate breath alcohol levels to approximately 0.08% to measure the acute effects of alcohol. Blood samples will be collected to measure varying metabolites. Type: Interventional Start Date: May 2026 |

Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIS) is an emerging novel tool for non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation that holds the potential for focal and steerable neuromodulation, and the possibility to stimulate focally at depth. TIS involves combining two high frequency waveforms to create a waveform with a "beat" frequency that is physiological relevant for neuromodulation. Successful applications to deep brain targets as well as steerability of the stimulation focus have been demonstrated in mice. Numerous recent investigations in humans have shown great clinical potential for this technology, however several questions about the basic mechanism of TIS action remain. The investigators will apply TIS to the motor cortex of humans and use established transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques to assess cortical excitability in relation to the phase of the TIS waveform. Using TMS, the investigators will i) validate that effects of TIS are due to the "beat" frequency and not the high frequency carrier signal, ii) evaluate the effect of the TIS carrier frequency, and iii) evaluate that whether changes in corticospinal excitability outlast the period of stimulation. Knowledge gained from this experiment will provide a basis for the future use of TIS for clinical applications, including informing parameter optimization. Type: Interventional Start Date: Feb 2026 |

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common eye condition caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the back part of the eye (called the retina). Over time, this damage can lead to vision problems and even blindness if not treated. This study will assess surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec) as a potential one-time gene therapy administered in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and prevention of vision-threatening events (VTEs) in participants with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). This study will consist of 3 portions: a Phase 2b portion, a Phase 3 portion, and a bilateral treatment portion. Approximately 576 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. In the Phase 2b and Phase 3 portions, participants will be randomized to different groups to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids or sham and artificial tears in their study eye. If assigned to sham, participants will be given an opportunity to cross over and receive treatment with sura-vec. In the bilateral treatment portion, participants will be enrolled to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids in both eyes. In all 3 portions, follow-up in the study will continue through 5 years following administration of sura-vec in each eye. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires. Type: Interventional Start Date: May 2026 |

The study's ratio1 expand
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-individual crossover trial designed to assess the impact of regular use of a consumer-grade FODMAP-targeting digestive enzyme blend (FODZYME®) on gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with self-reported bloating.1 The study's rationale is based on the fact that fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) are often poorly absorbed and can trigger symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain. While a Low FODMAP Diet (LFD) is clinically validated for symptom relief, it is restrictive. The enzyme blend is intended to offer a more flexible, enzyme-based solution by targeting and breaking down FODMAPs, such as fructan, GOS, and lactose, before they ferment in the colon. The primary objective is to evaluate the product's impact on bloating symptoms, measured by the mean PROMIS scale Gastrointestinal Gas and Bloating score. Secondary and exploratory objectives include assessing the impact on overall gastrointestinal symptom severity (IBS-SSS), abdominal pain (PROMIS Belly Pain score), food-related quality of life (FR-QoL-29), and anxiety (GAD-7 scores). The study also aims to evaluate these effects across various Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) subgroups (IBS-C, IBS-D, IBS-M). The trial is a consumer-driven, decentralized research study utilizing validated patient-reported outcome measures that can be completed in a home setting. Type: Interventional Start Date: May 2026 |

This study investigates the anatomical and physiological basis of spatial scene recognition memory in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and temporal lobe lesions. Standard neuropsychological tests are insensitive to important memory deficits experienced by patients, particularly in spatial/scene memory, recollective experience, and familiarity processing. Using a validated virtual tour paradigm, the study examines how familiarity-based recognition and recall of spatial scenes relate to specific brain structures. In Aim I, a large cohort of patients with varied temporal lobe lesions at Emory University undergoes the virtual tour task with voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping to localize necessary brain regions. In Aim II, scalp event-related potentials and eye tracking in healthy participants at UC Davis characterize the temporal dynamics and lateralization of scene recognition. In Aim III, intracranial EEG recordings (including local field potentials and single-unit activity) in epilepsy surgery patients at UC Davis determine the precise network dynamics underlying spatial scene familiarity and recall. The long-term goal is to improve the prediction and prevention of cognitive morbidity from epilepsy surgery by providing a more complete model of spatial recognition memory circuits.

The goal of this clinical trail is to learn if the hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), is stimulated by slowly digestible carbohydrates (SDCs) in healthy adults. In the current study, researchers will observe the amount of SDC that results in clinically meaningful levels of GLP-1, shown by an increase in feelings of fullness and a decrease in hunger, and how long an elevated level of GLP-1 lasts after starch consumption. Researchers aim to address two questions: What amount of SDC maximizes GLP-1-mediated satiety, and does the impact to satiety continue in a second meal? The overall goal is to maximize ileal-digesting SDC's potential use as a food-based agent for weight loss. Researchers will compare 20, 40, and 60 g of raw corn starch compared to a maltodextrin control on total plasma GLP-1 concentrations, insulin, and blood glucose at baseline and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes post-consumption of SDC. Researchers will also measure satiety at baseline, 60, 120, 180 minutes and after a second meal. There will be a total of 4 study visits with a least a 7-day break between visits.
