This study is evaluating the clinical safety and efficacy of Prevail Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) in the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) which is the narrowing of heart arteries (blood vessels) previously treated with stents (mesh like medical device that helps keep arteries open) and in new narrowing of arteries in small vessels. The DCB is a small balloon that has medication on it. The medication is designed to reduce the re-occurrence of narrowing in blood vessels. All participants who have a previous stent will be chosen at random to be treated with either the Prevail DCB or the Agent DCB. You will have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either DCB. The Prevail DCB is considered investigational meaning it has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Agent DCB is FDA approved. If you are being treated due to a new lesion in a small blood vessel, you will be treated with the Prevail DCB. Study related procedures include the following: electrocardiograph (known as an ECG, which is a test that shows your heart's electrical activity), blood draws, physical examinations, a review of chest pain, and medication history. Participation in this study will take about 5 years and include about 9 visits. Risks include risks related to the DCBs including allergic reaction, GI symptoms or changes to blood counts.
Apathy is a common set of symptoms seen in many people following a stroke. Apathy occurs when a person has lost motivation, becomes withdrawn, and stops doing things that used to be important to them. Apathy has a large negative impact on a person's quality of life, and can also have a large impact the people who take care of individuals with apathy. There are currently no FDA-approved treatments to help with apathy, and other services like therapy may be difficult to access for people who have had a stroke. To address this problem, we are conducting a study to find out if a form of treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be safe and helpful for people struggling with apathy after a stroke. Our study will apply a new form of rTMS which can be delivered quickly to a part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Our study will help establish whether this treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective for people with apathy after a stroke, and will help researchers develop new forms of treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RO7790121 compared with placebo in patients with moderately to severely active CD. Data on currently available treatments highlights the need for new medications in addressing the high unmet need in CD. The total maximum duration of study participation for an individual is expected to be approximately 70 weeks without OLE participation. With OLE participation, treatment will continue until RO7790121 is commercially available in that region or until the Sponsor decides to terminate the study, whichever is earlier. Approximately 600 patients will be enrolled in the study.
This study is looking for individuals who have resistant hypertension. This is a non-interventional research study and it does not involve a new drug or treatment. The goal of this study is to find out how many people with resistant hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that is hard to control, also have high levels of a hormone called cortisol. High cortisol levels, a condition called hypercortisolism, may make it more difficult to manage blood pressure. If you join the study, you will attend two to three clinic visits. During the first visit, you will go to the clinic for a short checkup. You will have vitals and your medical history reviewed. You will also have a blood draw and be given a pill called dexamethasone which will help us assess your cortisol levels. At your second visit you will fast and have a your blood collected to review your cortisol levels. If necessary, you will be invited for a third visit where you will get a CT scan. The risks associated with the study include bruising, dizziness, or, in rare cases, infection from blood draws, allergic reactions from taking the dexamethasone pill, and exposure to radiation from the CT scan. The study will be completed over the course of 2-3 visits in one months timeframe.
The purpose of the study is to help to develop a new test that may help with early colorectal cancer detection. This will be done by collecting a blood sample, a stool sample, and other sample types, and comparing the results to hopefully identify a biomarker that can detect cancer more easily than current standards.

This research study aims to better understand how the immune system functions in human diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. We will collect small amounts of tissue that are already being removed during routine surgeries, such as liver transplants or colorectal cancer resections. These tissues would otherwise be discarded. By studying immune cells and molecules within these samples, our team hopes to uncover how inflammation and immune signaling contribute to disease progression. The ultimate goal is to identify new ways to diagnose, monitor, or treat these conditions in the future. Participation does not involve any extra procedures or risk beyond the surgery already being performed.
The goal of this research study is to explore and evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 8-week, nurse-led Palliative Care program (SUPPORT-T) delivered over the internet to help educate and support individuals with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PFF) and their caregivers. In this study, we will enroll 80 PFF patients and 80 careparnters (total N=160 participants) who will then either receive the online SUPPORT-T program or enhanced usual care (educational handouts). At the end of the study, 15 PFF patients and caregivers who received SUPPORT-T and 5 community partners will take part in one-on-one interviews with the researchers to provide their feedback on the program; so as to improve it for a larger study. This study is being conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina in South Carolina and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
