Phase 2 Study of MGCD265 in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Activating Genetic Alterations in MET
MGCD265 is an orally administered receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets MET and other receptors. This study is a Phase 2 trial of MGCD265 in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has activating genetic changes of the MET gene (mutation or amplification [increase number of gene copies]). Testing for tumor gene changes can be performed in tumor tissue or blood samples. Patients must have previously received treatment with chemotherapy. The number of patients to be enrolled will depend on how many enrolled patients experience tumor size reduction. MGCD265 will be administered orally, twice daily. The study is designed to evaluate whether the number of patients experiencing tumor size reduction is substantially higher than would be expected with other available treatments

During the study, you will visit the study center once per year. Some or all of the study-start activities will be repeated. The study will continue for the rest of your life. After your death, your brain will examined under a microscope. Study activities may include: -Doing cognitive testing and answering questions about your mood, sleep, and habits, which may be in the form of interview-style conversations, paper-and-pencil questionnaires, computer tests, and/or other activities. -Having a medical exam. -Having a sample of blood taken from your arm vein, using a needle. -Having a sample of spinal fluid taken from your lower back (spine), using a needle. This is also known as a lumbar puncture or spinal tap. -Having a brain scan (described below). -Donating your brain to science after your death. Treatment or experiment details: -The brain scan is an MRI. For this, you will lie inside the scanning machine for about an hour while it takes a 3D image of your brain. -Brain donation involves having an autopsy after death. -There is no treatment or experiment being tested in this study. Additional details: -As a participant in this study, you will receive yearly feedback about your cognitive testing and your overall health. You will also have access to a social worker, quality of life programs, and education events. You will also have the opportunity to learn about other related research studies. **** Eligibility: ** ** You could be eligible for this study if: You either: -Have mild cognitive impairment; or -Have young-onset Alzheimer’s (starting before the age of 65); or -Have frontotemporal dementia; or -Have Lewy body dementia; or -Are 65 or older, healthy, and have normal cognition. You have a ‘study partner’—a family member, friend, or caregiver—who would be willing to come with you on study visits and to answer questions about you. You may not be eligible for this study if: -You have a significant medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition, including cancer, stroke, diabetes, major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. **** ** **

Prophylaxis With Direct-acting Antivirals for Kidney Transplantation From HCV-Infected Donors to Uninfected Recipients
In the past, HCV-positive (HCV+) kidneys were not given to HCV-negative recipients. But over the last few years, medications have been created that cure HCV in nearly 100% of patients. HCV+ transplants to HCV-negative recipients have become increasingly common now that HCV can be cured. There are two approaches to giving HCV medication to recipients of these transplants. The first is a prophylaxis approach. With prophylaxis, HCV medication is started before transplant and continued for a shorter course after transplant. The second is a transmit-and-treat approach. With transmit-and-treat, HCV medication is started after transplant and continued for the full, recommended course. Both approaches have successfully cured HCV in HCV-negative recipients of HCV+ organs. This research will use a study drug called sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL). It contains two drugs for treating HCV in one pill. We will compare giving SOF/VEL for 2 weeks starting pre-transplant (prophylaxis) to giving SOF/VEL for 12 weeks starting no later than 14 days post-transplant (transmit-and-treat). SOF/VEL belongs to a group of medications called direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). These drugs prevent HCV from multiplying and spreading in the human body. SOF/VEL are already approved and used for 12 weeks to treat HCV infection. The use of SOF/VEL for 2 weeks in preventing HCV infection has not been studied. The FDA is allowing SOF/VEL to be used in this study.

Family Functioning in Obesity Treatment for Mexican Americans
Mexican American women are disproportionately affected by obesity and obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. Obesity and diabetes are highly concordant in Mexican American families. Given the younger age of onset of diabetes in women with familial history, targeting mothers and their adult daughters for obesity treatment is warranted. From a family systems perspective, family-level approaches to obesity treatment can improve the adoption and maintenance of weight management behaviors. Including family members in treatment may also serve as a culturally salient intervention strategy as Mexican Americans endorse high level of familism. In contrast to traditional individual-level approaches to obesity treatment, a family-level approach grounded in familism would promote shared goals, collaborative problem solving, and communal coping when treating family members alongside each other. An important construct to consider when working with intergenerational Mexican American families is differences in acculturation, which may translate into differences in attitudes and behaviors. A wider gap in acculturation between parent and child has previously been associated with lower family functioning (e.g., poor communication, high conflict, low cohesion). However, interventions that promote bicultural competence by changing interactional patterns have been effective at improving family functioning. Hence, this study will conduct a randomized control trial testing the efficacy of a behavioral weight management intervention with brief and structured counseling on family functioning. Mexican American mothers and adult daughters (n=118 dyads) will be randomly assigned to receive standard behavioral treatment (SBT) or standard behavioral treatment plus relationship skills training (SBTR). Dyads participating in SBT or SBTR will attend 24 weekly sessions focused on nutrition and physical activity education along with behavior modification techniques. Dyads participating in SBTR will also receive experiential-based relationship skills training that draws from both general family systems concepts and behavioral family/couples therapy approaches to support familism, biculturalism, and communication competencies. The 12-month trial will consist of an intervention phase (1-6 months) and a maintenance phase (7-12 months). Assessments will be conducted at baseline and at the end of the intervention and maintenance phases. The primary outcome is weight loss. Secondary outcomes include treatment adherence (session attendance and self-monitoring records), physiological indicators of diabetes risk (hemoglobin A1c, waist circumference, and body fat percentage), health behaviors (eating and physical activity), psychological well-being (depression and perceived stress), and family functioning (subjective self-report and objective behavioral coding). Dyads in the SBTR group are expected to achieve greater improvements in primary and secondary outcomes than the STB group. Additionally, mediation by family functioning of intervention effects on primary and secondary outcomes will be examined.
