Base-Edited Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cell Gene Therapy for Treatment of CXCR4-WHIM

Background: Warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections and myelokathexis syndrome (WHIMs) is a rare disorder that affects the immune system. People with WHIMs can have severe infections all over their body. WHIMs is caused by a mutation in the CXCR4 gene. Treatment with drugs can help control the infections but does not cure the disorder. Researchers want to try a treatment where they collect stem cells from a person with WHIMS, use base-editing to replace the bad gene with a healthy version, and return the new cells to the person. This could cure WHIMs. Objective: To test a treatment using base-edited stem cells in people with WHIMs. Eligibility: People aged 3 years and older with WHIMs. Design: The study has 4 stages. Stage 1: Screening. Participants will be screened at 1 or more visits. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. A sample of tissue and fluid (biopsy) will be taken from the bone marrow in the hip. Stage 2: Apheresis. Blood will be taken from the body through a needle; the blood will pass through a machine that separates out the stem cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle. The collected stem cells will undergo gene editing. Stage 3: Treatment. Participants will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks. They will receive 3 drugs to prepare their body for the procedure. Then the edited stem cells will be returned to their bloodstream. They will stay in the hospital until they recover. Stage 4: Follow-up. Participants will have 8 follow-up visits over 5 years. Long-term visits will continue for 15 years.

A Safety Trial to Evaluate an Orally Ingested Yeast Modified to Express a Tetra-specific Anti-toxin for Clostridioides Difficile

This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive-design, single-site study, involving dose exploration cohorts. During Part A, up to 4 cohorts, each consisting of approximately 14 healthy adult study participants, will be randomly allocated to receive either FZ002 or placebo. Part A is designed to begin with Cohort 1 evaluating the highest proposed dose of study product. This is intended to represent the "ceiling" (highest level) of the ranges of doses to be evaluated in the study. In the event of a safety or tolerability concern in Cohort 1, a dose de-escalation will be evaluated in Cohorts 2-4 until a safe and well-tolerated dose is identified. If no safety or tolerability concerns are identified at the completion of a cohort, the study will proceed to Part B with the approval of the independent Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC). This adaptive design allows for the progression of the study from Part A to Part B without necessarily progressing through all 4 cohorts in Part A if there is a lack of safety or tolerability concerns. During Part B, an initial 'sentinel' Cohort 5 "some-risk" adult study participants will be randomly allocated to receive a single daily dose of FZ002 or placebo for 28 consecutive days. This is intended to represent the "floor" (lowest level) of doses to be evaluated in the study. A Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) will review the available safety data from the first 7 days of Cohort 5. If there is a lack of safety or tolerability concerns over the first 7-days of dosing for Cohort 5, then Cohort 6 will be opened for enrollment. Cohort 6 "some-risk" adult study participants will evaluate the "floor" and "ceiling" dose of FZ002 versus placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and clinical tolerability of oral doses of FZ002 or placebo when taken for up to 28 days.

BPL-1357 Against H1N1 Influenza Virus Challenge

Background: Influenza (flu) infections are a serious global health threat. Each year, between 3 and 5 million people get the flu, and up to 500,000 die from it. Current vaccines protect against seasonal flus, but broader vaccines are needed to protect against potential flu pandemics. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 55 years. Design: The study will last 5 to 8 months and has 2 phases, A and B. The study vaccine will be given either as a shot in the arm or as a nasal spray. Participants will receive 1 of 3 combinations: (1) study vaccine in the nose and placebo in the arm; (2) placebo in the nose and study vaccine in the arm; or (3) placebo in the nose and placebo in the arm. A placebo is just like the real vaccine but contains no active ingredients. Phase A: Participants will have 5 clinic visits over 56 days. They will receive a shot and a nasal spray at 2 of the visits, 28 days apart. At each visit, they will have a physical exam, with tests of their blood, urine, and nasal secretions. They will check their temperature at home and record any symptoms for 7 days after each vaccine. Phase B: Participants will stay in the hospital for at least 9 days. They will be infected with a flu virus. They will provide blood, urine, and nasal fluid samples. They will have tests of their heart function. They will remain in the hospital until they test negative for the flu 2 days in a row. They will have 2 follow-up visits, 4 and 8 weeks after leaving the hospital. ...

The Esophageal String Test as a Diagnostic Screening Tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Among Africans With Dysphagia in Mali and the United States

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease that causes inflammation in the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that moves food from the mouth to the stomach. Diagnosing EoE currently requires a specialized tool called an endoscope. The esophageal string test (EST) is another test; the EST collects fluid from the upper digestive tract. An EST is simpler and cheaper than an endoscopy. Researchers want to know if an EST can diagnose EoE. Objective: To test if the EST can diagnose EoE in people who have trouble swallowing. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 to 65 years with trouble swallowing. They must have been born in the African continent or their parents were born in Africa. Design: Participants will be screened. They will give blood, stool, urine, and skin swab samples. They will complete surveys about their medical history, diet, symptoms, and home environment. They will bring a sample of their drinking water for testing. Participants will have an EST. They will swallow a pill capsule that contains a nylon string. One end of the string will be taped to their cheek. The string will unravel down the esophagus and into the stomach. It will be pulled out after 1 hour. Fluids that soaked into the string will be tested. At a different visit, participants will have an endoscopic exam. An endoscope is a flexible tube that is inserted down the mouth; it can be used to take tissue samples from the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Participants will have a final visit in person, online, or by phone. They will take a survey and talk about their test results.

Modeling Host-Pathogen Interaction Using Lymphoid Organoids

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) are bacteria that can make people sick. Sometimes, an S. aureus infection can develop inside the spine; these infections can lead to paralysis and death. Researchers do not know how S. aureus interacts with a person s cells to cause infections in the spine. Objective: To learn how S. aureus interacts with cells in the body using tissues from tonsils discarded after standard surgery to remove them. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older who are scheduled to have their tonsils removed. Design: Researchers will select participants for the study based on review of their existing medical records, including results of blood tests; any imaging scans, including x-rays; and reports about tissue specimens. Participants will answer questionnaires about their health and past infections. They can do this online or on paper. Participants will collect a nasal swab 1 week before their surgery. They will be given a tool that looks like a long cotton swab. They will twirl it around inside their nose. The swab will pick up cells and fluids that will be used for research. After their surgery, the participant s surgeon will save samples of tonsil tissue. The surgeon will send these tissue samples and the nasal swab to researchers at the NIH. These tissues and the swab will be used in studies to help researchers understand how S. aureus interacts with cells in the body. They hope these studies will help them find better ways to treat S. aureus infections.

Dupilumab as Add-On Therapy for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome With Partial Clinical Response to Eosinophil-Depleting Biologic Agents

Background: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a blood disorder that causes high levels of white blood cells called eosinophils. HES can damage the lungs and airways, intestines, skin, and other organs. The current primary treatment for HES can cause serious side effects. Secondary treatments do not work in all people. Objective: To test an approved drug (dupilumab), combined with other drugs, in people with HES. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older who take drugs (mepolizumab, reslizumab, or benralizumab) to treat HES. Design: Participants will have up to 6 clinic visits and 7 remote visits in up to 48 weeks. Participants will be screened. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will take surveys about how HES affects their daily life. Some participants may have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of tissue and fluid from inside a bone will be removed with a large needle. Participants will have other tests specific to their symptoms. For example, those with symptoms affecting their lungs will have breathing tests. Others may have tests that target symptoms in their sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, or skin. Dupilumab is injected under the skin once every 1 or 2 weeks. Dose and timing will vary among participants. They will be taught how to inject themselves at home between clinic visits. They will take dupilumab plus their current medications for 24 weeks. If the drug is helping them, they will continue taking it for another 24 weeks. Participants will have a final visit 12 weeks after their last dose.

Recruitment and Apheresis Collection of Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Mononuclear Cells and Granulocytes

The research goal of this study is to obtain CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from peripheral blood and/or bone marrow, and Mononuclear Cells (lymphocytes and monocytes), and granulocytes (grans) from peripheral blood that will be used in the laboratory and/or in the clinic to develop new cell therapies for patients with inherited or acquired disorders of immunity or blood cells. Development of novel cellular therapies requires access to HSC, Mononuclear Cells and/or granulocytes as the essential starting materials for the pre-clinical laboratory development of gene therapies and other engineered cell products. HSC or blood cells from healthy adult volunteers serve both as necessary experimental controls and also as surrogates for patient cells for clinical scale-up development. HSC or blood cells from patients serve both as the necessary experimental substrate for novel gene therapy and cellular engineering development for specific disorders and as pre-clinical scale up of cellular therapies. Collection of cells from adult patients collected in the NIH Department of Transfusion Medicine (DTM) under conditions conforming to accepted blood banking clinical practice may also be used directly in or cryopreserved for future use in other NIH protocols that have all required regulatory approvals allowing such use. In summary, the research goal of this protocol is the collection of HSC or blood cells that may be used for both laboratory research and/or for clinical treatment in other approved protocols.

A Trial of Stratified Patient-Centered Treatment Regimens for Active TB (SPECTRA-TB)

The A5414 study will evaluate whether treatment for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can be tailored according to a participant's risk of an unfavorable outcome. Participants will be assigned to lower-risk or higher-risk groups using baseline characteristics and then randomized within each group to receive either standard TB treatment or an investigational rifapentine- and moxifloxacin-containing regimen. The study will evaluate whether shorter treatment durations may be used in lower-risk participants and whether the investigational regimen may improve outcomes in higher-risk participants. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated.

A Study of Daily Rifapentine Combined With Isoniazid (1HP) for Tuberculosis Prevention in Children Less Than 13 Years of Age With and Without HIV

This study aims to find the proposed dose of Rifapentine (RPT) taken once daily with Isoniazid (INH) for 28 days to prevent tuberculosis (TB). The study will take place at multiple locations and children under 13 years old will be divided into two groups: one group will include children without HIV, and the other group will include children with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment. Up to 144 children will participate, and participants in each group will be followed for 24 weeks.

Trial of Novel Regimens for the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

A5409/RAD-TB is an adaptive Phase 2 randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-ranging, platform protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multidrug regimens for the treatment of adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A5409 hypothesizes that novel regimens for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will result in superior early efficacy, as determined by longitudinal mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid culture time to positivity (TTP) measurements over the first 6 weeks of treatment, and will have acceptable safety and tolerability over 8 weeks of treatment relative to standard of care \[(SOC) isoniazid/rifampicin/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (HRZE)\]. The study will run for 52 weeks, inclusive of 26 weeks of TB treatment comprised of 8 weeks of study treatment (experimental or SOC, based on treatment arm assignment) followed by 18 weeks of SOC continuation phase treatment with 45 participants in each experimental treatment arm and at least 90 participants in the SOC arm.

A Clinical Trial of Combination HIV-Specific Broadly Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies Combined With ART Initiation During Acute HIV Infection to Induce HIV Remission

A5388 is a phase II, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will enroll 48 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve adults with acute HIV infection (AHI) in order to determine whether: * Administration of combination HIV-specific broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) therapy in addition to ART during acute HIV infection (AHI) will be safe. * Participants who receive combination bNAb therapy in addition to ART during AHI will be more likely to demonstrate a delay in time to HIV-1 RNA ≥1,000 copies/mL for 4 consecutive weeks compared to participants who receive placebo plus ART. * Participants who receive combination bNAb therapy in addition to ART during AHI will demonstrate lower viral reservoirs and enhanced HIV-specific immunity compared to participants who receive placebo plus ART.

Randomized Stepped Wedge Study of Emapalumab in APECED Enteritis

Background: Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), also known as Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1), is a disease that causes the immune system to attack parts of a person's body. In some people, APECED attacks the small intestine; this causes an illness called enteritis. Objective: To test a drug (emapalumab) in people with enteritis caused by APECED. Eligibility: People aged 2 to 75 years with APECED and enteritis. They must also be enrolled in protocol 11-I-0187. Design: Participants will have 10-13 study visits in an 18-month period. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. These tests will be repeated at every study visit. They will have a test of their heart function. This will be at screening and prior to drug administration. Other tests are optional: Participants may have imaging exams and a test of lung function. They may have an endoscopy, which is an exam of their digestive tract. Participants may provide samples of urine, stool, nail clippings, saliva, vaginal fluid, or skin. Photos may be taken of their skin or scalp. These tests may be repeated at some visits. Emapalumab is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. All participants will receive 7 doses: 2 on their first study visit; then 1 each at 30-day intervals. Some participants will have an observation period before they begin taking the drug; in those situations, they will either be seen in person or via video visit every 2 months before starting emapalumab to see how their symptoms change over time. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after their last dose. Then they will have 2 telehealth visits at 30-day intervals. They will have a final clinic visit 1 year after their first dose. ...
