Previous research has shown that individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for not returning to previous levels of sport participation or sustaining a secondary injury. While deficits in physical function and recovery are often present in these patients, it has also been suggested that psychological factors may serve as a primary reason for failure to return to previous function. To reduce this, we must first identify changes that occur post-ACLR to develop future interventions for treatment and we may identify sleep as a modifiable factor we can target to improve outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of a research investigational product, CT-0525, and to see if CT-0525 is safe for participants with advanced cancer. This study is the first time that CT-0525 will be given to humans. CT-0525 is a special kind of product that is made of blood cells taken from your own body. Once collected, these blood cells will be altered and infused back into your body.
The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the study drug, ONC-392, together with a standard of care drug PLUVICTO® (Lutetium Lu 177 Vipivotide Tetraxetan), are safe and well tolerated, and whether two drugs are effective in treating prostate cancer, in comparison with the standard of care PLUVICTO® alone.
