This is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II study evaluating the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational RNA-based multivalent vaccine candidate BNT166a for active immunization against monkeypox (mpox). This study started with substudy A (SSA) and substudy B (SSB) for which recruitment has been completed. A Substudy C (SSC) was planned, but the sponsor decided not to conduct it. This study will therefore continue with substudy D (SSD). In SSA and SSB, dosing started with an initial sentinel group, followed by the expansion cohort. This study was initially planned to investigate two vaccine candidates (the quadrivalent BNT166a and the trivalent BNT166c). The sponsor decided to not activate the groups with BNT166c.

Objectives: The investigators will test whether combination of chemoimmunotherapy or dual agent immunotherapy alone improves efficacy for patients with MPM. Primary Objectives: The primary objective is to test whether the combination of platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves recurrence-free survival for patients with resectable MPM compared to historical, published data for surgery with chemotherapy. Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response. Exploratory Objective(s): The exploratory objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response for patients with epithelioid and non-epithelioid histologies. The scientific exploratory objectives include: 1. Develop an NGS plasma assay of common mutations identified from our previous grant cycle to prospectively measure minimal residual disease (MRD) after resection as a potential, novel biomarker test in mesothelioma. 2. Determine the predictive role of BH3 profiling in patients undergoing neoadjuvant ICI followed by surgery: With patient samples collected from our neoadjuvant ICI trial, the investigators will test whether BH3 profiling from pre-treatment tumor biopsies and PBMC predicts clinical, radiological, and pathological responses to ICIs. The investigators will identify TAMs from the TiME in MPM tumor samples before and after treatment to compare differences in polarization induced by ICI in clinical and pathologically responding versus non-responding patients.

This is a phase 1, first-in-human (FIH) trial for two vaccines, DV700P-RNA and DV701B1.1-RNA. This means it is the first time these study products are being tested in people. The purpose of this study is to see if the study products are safe, if people are able to take them without becoming too uncomfortable, and how a person's immune system responds to them (a person's immune system protects them from infections and disease). Forty-five volunteers without HIV and in overall good health, aged 18 to 55 years, will be enrolled and be in this study for about 16 months (about 12 visits), Study procedures will include blood draws, injections, and the collection of white blood cells and cells from their lymph nodes.

This is a partially randomized, open-label phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a priming regimen of 426c.Mod.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum followed by boosts with HxB2.WT.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum. The primary hypothesis is that the boosting with HxB2.WT.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum will further mature broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb)-precursor B-cell lineages elicited by 426c.Mod.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum. 426c.Mod.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum has been tested in HVTN 301 previously, whereas the HxB2.WT.Core-C4b will be first-in-human (FIH).

HVTN 144 is a phase 1 clinical trial to being conducted to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an HIV envelope trimer, N332-GT5 gp140, adjuvanted with saponin/MPLA nanoparticles (SMNP) in adult participants without HIV. The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of N332-GT5 gp140 adjuvanted with SMNP in adult volunteers without HIV and in overall good health, including identifying a safe and tolerable dose, route, and schedule of administration of the novel adjuvant SMNP. The study also aims to evaluate the induction of BG18-class immunoglobulin G (IgG) B-cell responses in memory B cells by the study regimens and compare the responses between the different groups. HVTN 144 will be conducted in 2 parts with 84 volunteers without HIV and in overall good health, aged 18 to 55 years. The study duration is 22 months which includes 8 months for enrollment, planned safety holds, follow-up, and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) health contact 1 year after last vaccination.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials in North Carolina pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do clinical trials in North Carolina work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials in North Carolina 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in North Carolina is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in North Carolina several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study in North Carolina ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest clinical trials in North Carolina ?

Most recently, we added MDMA for Liver Disease, DV700P-RNA + DV701B1.1-RNA for HIV and LY4100511 Absorption Study to the Power online platform.
