In current practice, options for venous and lymphatic malformations remain limited. Recently an oral medication, sirolimus, has been found to benefit patients when taken once or twice a day for several months. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with this medication, some of which can be severe including, neutropenia, oral ulcerations, and lab abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed sirolimus will be effective for the treatment of venous and lymphatic malformations. Additionally, the study will evaluate patient satisfaction and identify adverse effects. Participants will be on the medication for 6 months with an option to continue after this time period.
This study is for children and adults that have been diagnosed with a disease that is associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection.The investigational treatment in this study is called tabelecleucel (also known as ATA129), this treatment is given in the vein. Participants will receive tabelecleucel on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 of every 35-day (5-week) period, the number of cycles depends on the response to treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of tabelecleucel and to assess the effects of tabelecleucel on EBV disease. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 years for an estimated 17-20 study visits.
Acute coronary syndrome is a life-threatening condition, which most commonly occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque ruptures or erodes, leading to thrombus formation within a coronary artery. A thrombus within a coronary artery can result in unstable angina, MI, or sudden death. Even after recovery from an acute episode of ACS, patients continue to be at heightened risk. The risk of recurrent CV events is high despite advances in medical therapy and standard therapeutic
regimens that have produced important improvements in the prognosis of patients with MI.
CSL112 is a novel formulation of apoA-I, the major functional component of high-density lipoprotein. It is purified from human plasma, formulated to deliver exogenous apoA-I. Apolipoprotein A-I is formulated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and stabilized with sucrose and cholate as excipients. CSL112 is being developed for use in patients with ACS (diagnosed with either STEMI or NSTEMI) to reduce the risk of CV death, MI, and stroke upon delivery of CSL112. Evidence from the Apo-I Event Reducing in Ischemic Syndromes-I (AEGIS-I) study has demonstrated that administration of apoA-I increases cholesterol efflux in MI patients.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSL112 on reducing the risk of major adverse CV events (MACE) in subjects with ACS (diagnosed with STEMI or NSTEMI), who are receiving evidence-based medical therapy.
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to 1 of 2 treatment groups (CSL1126 g or placebo). Randomization at baseline will be stratified by subjects' index MI type (STEMI vs NSTEMI), management of the index MI (PCI vs medically managed), and region (North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, or Asia Pacific). The study will consist of a Screening Period, an Active
Treatment Period, and a Follow-up Period. Investigational product will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks. The primary efficacy outcome will be the composite of CV death, MI, or stroke from time of randomization through 90 days. Adverse event monitoring will continue through Visit 8 (Day 90), and all serious adverse events will be collected
through the end of the study, regardless of relationship to investigational product. Subjects will be followed for occurrence of MACE for 365 days from randomization.
This study will help to determine if using an investigational neuromodulation headset device will help treat non-motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The effectiveness of neuromodulation will help oral dopamine replacement therapies to improve (1) activities of daily living related to motor function, (2) motor symptoms and (3) quality of life for patients with PD. The headset will be worn for a total of 40 minutes per day (two 20 minute intervals). The study will take place over a year and will require a study partner to participate. This is a randomized controlled trial that randomizes participants into an intervention group or a control group (placebo). Participants will not know which treatment they are receiving. Questions about quality of life such as; depression, anxiety, PD symptoms, will also be asked.
Pediatric traumatic injury is the leading cause of death and morbidity among US adolescents and are associated with mental health and health risk outcomes, including posttraumatic stress and depression, deficits in physical recovery, social functioning and quality of life, which if unaddressed, may contribute to increased use of health care services. In 2015 our team launched the Trauma Resilience and Recovery Program (TRRP) at Medical University of South Carolina, a scalable and sustainable, technology-enhanced, multidisciplinary stepped model of care – one of the few in the US - that provides early intervention and direct services to improve access to evidence-based mental health care after traumatic injury for children, adults and families. We have found this model of care to be feasible and acceptable to adolescent patients (ages 12-17) at each level of service. TRRP includes 3 major steps: (1) in-hospital education, brief risk reduction session, and tracking patients' emotional recovery via an automated text-messaging system, (2) a 30-day screen via telephone to identify patients who are good candidates for psychological treatment, and (3) providing referral to best-practice telehealth-based or in-person assessment and treatment. We have partnered with three accredited Level I and II pediatric trauma centers, Prisma-Health Upstate, Children's of Alabama, and Boston Children's Hospital, and propose a multi-site hybrid 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial with 300 adolescent (ages 12-17) traumatic injury patients to assess the extent to which TRRP promotes improvement in quality of life and emotional recovery and gather preliminary data on the potential for TRRP to be implemented in other Level I trauma centers. This study will provide valuable data on the efficacy, preliminary effectiveness and potential for implementation of an innovative, cost-effective, sustainable technology-enhanced intervention designed to address the unique needs of adolescent injury patients and mitigate short- and long-term impact of injury on mental health, quality of life, and overall well-being.
The purpose of the study is to see if daily use of nicotine patches will slow or reverse memory loss in participants with Mild cognitive impairment, an early stage of mental decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. Nicotine may mimic natural chemicals in the brain that play a crucial role in memory function, and previous studies have shown that nicotine may improve attention, learning, and memory. In this study, participants will receive either nicotine (up to 21mg/day, the standard dosage of a nicotine patch) or placebo for 2 years to see if these improvements in brain function can be observed over a longer period.
This study is examining the use, safety and performance of an investigational, meaning not approved for commercial use or sale by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) device called Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR). The TMVR is a device used to treat mitral valve disease in patients with heart failure (weakened heart muscle). The device is placed by a non surgical approach using a delivery catheter (hollow tube) placed in your blood vessel at the top of your leg and directed up to your heart. This five year study will include a screening process to determine you meet eligibility criteria. If you qualify you will then be seen for a baseline visit, undergo the procedure to place the device, day after procedure, at hospital discharge, 1,3,6, 12 months, then yearly for up to 5 years. Study related testing includes physical exams, medication review, 6 minute hall walk test, questionnaires, blood work, CT scans, electrocardiogram or ECG (recording of your heart's electrical activity) and echocardiogram (ultrasound test of your heart).
This study is enrolling participants with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of the study is to see how safe the study drug Ginisortamab is and how the body processes the drug when given alone or in combination with selected standard of care (SOC) regimens. Participants will receive Ginisortamab via intravenous (IV; injected into a vein) infusion (drip) every 2 weeks, on Days 1 and Day 15 of each treatment cycle. If they continue to additional cycles, the infusions will continue to take place every 2 weeks according to the same schedule. Participants will be in this trial for a planned period of at least 2 cycles of study treatment (around 8 weeks) but should the Study Doctor decide that he/she is benefiting from treatment, he/she can remain in the study for additional cycles of treatment until he/she decide to withdraw from the study, he/she experiences any unacceptable side effects due to the treatment or if the disease worsens.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational drug product, IBI-10090 (DEXYCU), in children to treat eye inflammation (redness) caused by cataract surgery. DEXYCU was approved by the FDA in February 2018 for use in adults, however; has not yet been approved for use in children. The active ingredient in DEXYCU is dexamethasone. Instead of being an eye drop containing dexamethasone, DEXYCU remains in the eye as a tiny droplet and slowly releases dexamethasone over a period of approximately two to three weeks. After that time the droplet is absorbed by the body. Subjects 0 to 3 years of age who are undergoing cataract surgery will be eligible for this study. The study starts at screening visit which is 3-29 days before surgery. Any study-related procedures will be performed only after obtaining informed consent. Child will be in the study for about 90 days after signing informed consent. Enrollment in this study requires a total of 8 visits. If child is eligible he/she will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to either study group DEXYCU or control group, prednisolone acetate. Child will have study visits 1 day following cataract surgery, and then at approximately 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. All visits are standard of care visits for all cataract surgery patients except 2 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery visits.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Sea-CD70. This study will find out if the drug is safe and tolerable, and find out the maximum tolerated dose (highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects) or recommended dose for the next phase of clinical study. The subject will be given the study drug in 28 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, ECG (electrocardiogram), or a bone marrow exam. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 3 years.
