| Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Senior Vice President for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Senior Associate Dean for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, always knew she wanted to be a physician. "Health equity was built into everything I did, even if I didn’t know it or recognize it at the time," Wilkins said. "I have always learned and believed that people are the same — everyone deserves to be healthy, and everyone should have the best opportunities to take care of themselves and their families."

Vanderbilt was the lead site for an NIH-funded, phase 2, multicenter influenza vaccine study in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients that may lead to a change in the current flu vaccine recommendations in this vulnerable population. Natasha Halasa, MD, MPH and colleagues recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that two doses of high-dose trivalent flu vaccine resulted in higher amounts of influenza-specific antibodies than two doses of standard dose quadrivalent vaccine. https://news.vumc.org/2023/03/02/high-dose-flu-vaccine-beneficial-for-pediatric-stem-cell-transplant-patients/ |
A Study of ASP3082 in Adults With Previously Treated Solid Tumors
Phase I
Phase I
Genes contain genetic code which tell the body which proteins to make. Many types of cancer
are caused by changes, or mutations, in a gene called KRAS. Researchers are looking for ways
to stop the actions of abnormal proteins made from the mutated KRAS gene. The so-called G12D
mutation in the KRAS gene is common in people with some solid tumors.
ASP3082 is a potential new treatment for certain solid tumors in people who have the G12D
mutation in their KRAS gene. Before ASP3082 is available as a treatment, the researchers need
to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. This information will help find
a suitable dose and to check for potential medical problems from the treatment.
People in this study will be adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid
tumors with the G12D mutation in their KRAS gene (G12D mutation). Locally advanced means the
cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by
surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. They will have
been previously treated with standard therapies or refused to receive those treatments. In
the European Union (EU) and South Korea, people who have refused to receive treatment with
standard therapies cannot take part.
The main aims of the study are: to check the safety of ASP3082 by itself and together with
cetuximab (a common cancer medicine), how well it is tolerated, and to find a suitable dose
of ASP3082 by itself and together with cetuximab.
This is an open-label study. This means that people in this study and clinic staff will know
that they will receive ASP3082.
This study will be in 2 parts. In Part 1, different small groups of people will receive lower
to higher doses of ASP3082, by itself, or together with cetuximab. Only people with
colorectal cancer will receive ASP3082 together with cetuximab. Any medical problems will be
recorded at each dose. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP3082 by itself or together
with cetuximab to use in Part 2 of the study. The first group will receive the lowest dose of
ASP3082. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide if the next
group can receive a higher dose of ASP3082. The panel will do this for each group until all
groups have received ASP3082 (by itself or together with cetuximab) or until suitable doses
have been selected for Part 2.
In Part 2, other different small groups of people will receive ASP3082 by itself or together
with cetuximab, with the most suitable doses worked out from Part 1. This will help find a
more accurate dose of ASP3082 to use in future studies.
ASP3082, and cetuximab (if used), will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion.
Each treatment cycle is 21 days long. They will continue treatment until: they have medical
problems from the treatment they can't tolerate; their cancer gets worse; they start other
cancer treatment; they ask to stop treatment; they do not come back for treatment.
People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment, with extra visits during
the first 2 cycles of treatment. During these visits, the study doctors will check for any
medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab. At some visits, other
checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition
(MUGA) scan, blood and urine tests and vital signs. Vital signs include temperature, pulse,
breathing rate, and blood pressure. (Blood oxygen levels will also be checked for people
treated with ASP3082 together with cetuximab.) Tumor samples will be taken during certain
visits during treatment and when treatment has finished.
People will visit the clinic within 7 days after stopping treatment. The study doctors will
check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab. Other
checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition
(MUGA) scan, urine and blood tests and vital signs. After this, people will continue to visit
the clinic every 9 weeks. This is to check the condition of their cancer. They will do this
until 45 weeks after treatment stopped, or if their cancer is worse, they start other cancer
treatment, they ask to stop treatment, or they do not come back for treatment.
Also, people may visit the clinic at 30 days and 90 days after stopping treatment. At the
30-day visit, the study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or
together with cetuximab. People will have their vital signs checked and have some bloo

A Study of Zilovertamab Vedotin (MK-2140) in Combination With Standard of Care in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (rrDLBCL) (MK-2140-003)
Lymphoma
Lymphoma
The purpose of this Phase 2/3, randomized, multisite, open-label, dose confirmation, and
expansion study is to evaluate the safety, and efficacy of zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) in
combination with standard of care options for the treatment of rrDLBCL. This study will be
divided into 2 parts: Dose Confirmation (Part 1) and Efficacy Expansion (Part 2) and will
enroll participants who are at least 18 years of age with rrDLBCL. The hypotheses are: ZV in
combination with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) is superior to R-GemOx
with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Lugano response criteria by blinded
independent review committee (BICR); and that ZV in combination with bendamustine rituximab
(BR) is superior to BR with respect to PFS per Lugano response criteria by BICR.
