Summary

Patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) (>5.5cm) are recommended to have surgery, but there is no therapy for small AAA (3-5cm). The purpose of this study is to collect ultrasound images and blood from patients with normal abdominal aorta as well as from patients with small AAA. Study participants include patients scheduled for an aortc ultrasound aorta and may fall into one of these categories. By analyzing the aortic wall ultrasound images and the blood levels of particular proteins, we hope to identify a target for drug therapy to stop AAA growth. Voluntary participation in this study does not change the original intent of the ultrasound and does not change patient treatment. The pictures gathered here are in addition to the standard ultrasound and cause no additional risk. Participation would include the standard aorta ultrasound, specific extra pictures (less than 5 minutes to collect), and collection of a blood sample. If a participant's aorta is within normal limits, no additional ultrasound visits or study visits will be indicated. If the participant has a small AAA, standard of care would be to return once per year for repeat ultrasound. Ongoing participation in the study will be to have the extra ultrasound images captured and repeat blood sampling, for a total of 3 years.

Summary

The study is being conducted in order to assess the long-term safety of rocatinlimab in adult and adolescent subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The study population will include subjects who completed an end of treatment duration visit in a parent study and meet eligibility criteria. Subjects will be randomized to receive a dosage of rocatinlimab based on age and their previous dosage from the parent study. The total duration of participation, including the parent study, will be up to 2.5 to 3 years, with a safety follow-up period after the last dose of investigational product at week 104.

A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of Levosimendan in Pulmonary Hypertension Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (PH-HFpEF); LEVEL: LEVosimendan to Improve Exercise Limitation in Patients With PH-HFpEF

Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and how well the medication levosimenden works versus placebo in treating Pulmonary Hypertension and Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction measured by a 6 minute walk. This is a condition where the lower left chamber (left ventricle) of the heart is not able to fill properly with blood during the filling phase and the amount of blood pumped out to the body is below normal. The study will also look at information obtained from the tests performed as part of the study to see if subjects have improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Levosimendan is a drug that has been FDA-approved for intravenous (IV) delivery to your body. This study aims to determine if the tablet form of the drug is as effective as the IV route. Tablets are much more attainable for patients to manage their heart failure from home, rather than going to an infusion clinic for treatments. Participation in this study will last approximately 12 weeks with the option to continue to the stage 2 phase of the study. If the stage 2 phase is selected as well, participation will last approximately 26 months or a little over 2 years. These visits will include such activities as blood tests, questionnaires, physical evaluation by a study doctor, echocardiogram, and 6 minute hall walks.

Participants will be randomized to either the treatment group (and receive the medication) or the control group (receive an inactive medication). Subjects will have a 50:50 chance of receiving the study medication during their participation in the trial. The treatment assignment is determined by randomization, where a computer selects at random which treatment group you will be in (like drawing straws). Neither the subject, nor the blinded personnel will know which group subjects are in. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will decide what group subjects are assigned.

Summary

VA Principal Investigators plan to gather information about veterans at the VAHCS who are interested in participating in rehabilitation research. Subject information collected will be housed in a centralized Rehabilitation Research Repository. VAHCS investigators may access this repository to quickly identify and recruit individuals who wish to be contacted for current and future VA IRB R&D approved rehabilitation research.

Summary

This study is for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). An investigational (not approved by the FDA) drug, Tamibarotene, will be added to the standard of care drugs prescribed. Tamibarotene is a tablet that will be taken daily. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of this medication improves the prognosis of these subjects, as this is the first time it has been added to the treatment plan. The most common side effects observed to date include diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting, along with changes in the lab values. Procedures include lab work and bone marrow collections. Participation duration will depend upon how subjects respond to the treatment.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect information about patients with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy(ARVC) and about the disease. ARVC is a rare condition that affects heart muscle and causes abnormal heart rhythms (this is called "arrhythmia"). Participation in this study will take about 5 years. If your study doctor determines you are eligible and you agree to participate, you will be asked to visit the study doctor's office as part of your regular care for a screening visit and about 1 time each year for the length of the study. The majority of the data collected for this study will be part of your regular care, however study related procedures include arrhythmia monitoring, using wearable devices to measure tracing of the electrical activity of your heart, blood work, including genetic testing, and patient questionnaires

Patients with chronic or episodic recurrent dizziness will track their vestibular symptoms with every episode in the iPhone application, Vertige. They will track their symptoms at the conclusion of every episode for a total of six (6) months. The app has a geolocation software that will pair environmental data (barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.) with symptoms. We will then analyze the data to evaluate for associations.

Summary

They study is for patients that have have been diagnosed with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer (PRROC) which includes fallopian tube cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis (a form of cancer that affects the thin membrane that surrounds your abdominal organs). The investigational drug used in this study is Olvi-Vec. The main purpose of the study is to determine how women diagnosed with PRROC will best respond to receiving Olvi-Vec followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy (platinum-based chemotherapy such as carboplatin or cisplatin are given with a non-platinum based chemotherapy, including gemcitabine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD]) along with bevacizumab, known as the Experimental Arm. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 36 months.
