Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a newer treatment aimed at reducing knee pain caused by osteoarthritis by targeting and reducing inflammation. In people with knee osteoarthritis, inflammation in the joint leads to the growth of tiny new blood vessels, called neovessels. These vessels are not normally present in a healthy joint and contribute to ongoing inflammation and pain.

GAE works by selectively injecting tiny particles into specific arteries that supply blood to these abnormal vessels. This process is called embolization, and it temporarily blocks the flow of blood through the neovessels.

Doctors use a special imaging technique called angiography to guide the procedure. This allows them to see the inflamed area and locate the neovessels, which are larger than normal due to the ongoing inflammation—usually about 1–2 millimeters in diameter.

By blocking these abnormal vessels, GAE helps to reduce the number of inflammatory cells and signaling chemicals (called cytokines) that enter the joint through the bloodstream. This decreases the overall inflammation in the area.

Additionally, the growth of pain-sensing nerves, which often occurs alongside these new vessels, may also be reduced. These nerves—called unmyelinated sensory nerves—can worsen pain when they are activated by inflammation. By decreasing both inflammation and nerve growth, GAE may significantly reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthris

This study is evaluating the use of a new technique in ablation of ventricular tachycardia. During a heart procedure called an ablation, doctors must map the heart to find the small areas causing the abnormal rhythm. The study compares two different mapping methods: the standard high-density voltage mapping and a newer method called ILAM, which may help doctors find the problem areas more quickly and precisely. If you join the study, you will be randomly placed—like flipping a coin—into one of the two mapping groups during your procedure. Both methods are already FDA-approved and used for treating VT. You will also have several follow-up visits over 12 months so the study team can check your heart rhythm, device activity (if you have one), and overall health. The goal is to learn whether the newer ILAM method works better or just as well as the standard approach for treating VT.

This study is testing a new medicine called Visugromab (CTL-002) to see if it helps people with a type of lung cancer called metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Everyone in the study will get standard cancer treatment, but some will also get Visugromab while others get a placebo (a look-alike with no active drug), and who gets what is decided randomly—like flipping a coin. The goal is to find out if Visugromab makes the treatment more effective and safe. The study will last up to two years, with Treatment in cycles lasting 3 weeks, about once a month. Researchers will closely monitor participants to see how well the treatment works and how their bodies respond. Serious risks of treatment may include heart problems, low oxygen levels, infections, organ failure, and inflammation in various parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, intestines, pancreas, and thyroid.

The investigational varicella vaccine (hereafter referred to as VNS vaccine) is a new
candidate varicella vaccine derived from the Oka strain. The main rationale for the
development of VNS vaccine is to provide an additional alternative varicella vaccine as an advantage from a public health perspective to prevent varicella disease

The MOMENTOUS study will test the prospective performance of the Tempus Pulmonary Hypertension ECG model within patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who do not have a diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension. The purpose of the study is to provide information on the clinical utility of this new technology within a multicenter randomized study. The study will target approximately 1000 participants completing the study over a period of 2-3 years. Study participation will consist of 4 visits over a period of 6 months.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare, inherited skin condition that makes the skin extremely fragile, causing painful blisters and wounds from even minor friction or injury. There is currently no cure, and because EB is uncommon, doctors still have limited high-quality data to guide the best treatment and long-term care. This study is part of a large North American effort to collect and organize health information from people with EB into a secure database. By tracking how the disease progresses over time, along with symptoms, complications, and treatments, researchers hope to better understand EB and improve care for future patients. Participation involves consenting to share medical record information and optionally completing brief questionnaires during routine clinic visits or by email. No experimental treatments or extra medical procedures are involved. While there is no direct benefit to participants, the knowledge gained may help improve care and support the development of new treatments in the future.

The study aims to evaluate if an experimental drug called SAR441566 can improve signs and symptoms of moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). SAR441566 is a new drug that inhibits Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) signaling. This study will also help the Sponsor to understand which dose of SAR441566 is most effective and safe in participants with moderate to severe CD. To do this, 3 different doses of SAR441566 will be tested along with a placebo. The study will last about 1 year, will include about 260 adult participants across over 26 countries.

The study aims to evaluate if an experimental drug called SAR441566 can improve signs and symptoms of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). SAR441566 is a new drug that inhibits Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) signaling. This study will also help the Sponsor to understand which dose of SAR441566 is most effective and safe in participants with moderate to severe UC. To do this, 3 different doses of SAR441566 will be tested along with a placebo. The study will last about 1 year, will include about 260 adult participants across over 26 countries.

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy and the patients' own (autologous) stem cells to observation only in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who achieved a complete response after initial chemotherapy. Participants will be separated into two groups, or randomized (like flipping a coin). The first group of participants will receive high dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Stem cells removed prior to treatment are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. The second group will be observed by the study doctor and study team with check-ins every six months for 12 years after joining the trial. The group of participants who receive a stem cell transplant will also be checked by their doctor and study team for every 6 months for 12 years after joining the study. The main risks of the study treatment include reduced blood cell counts, nausea and vomiting, and damage to other organs (due to high dose chemotherapy).

This study is testing whether adding a new drug, casdatifan, to cabozantinib works better than cabozantinib alone in adults with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) that has gotten worse after previous immunotherapy. It will compare the two treatments in patients around the world to see which is more effective. A total of 8 patients will be enrolled locally over the course of 26 months, and participants may be in the study for up to five years. Before joining, patients will complete a screening process with tests and assessments to determine eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: casdatifan plus cabozantinib or placebo plus cabozantinib. There is a 2 in 3 chance of being in the casdatifan group and a 1 in 3 chance of being in the placebo group. Both drugs are taken by mouth in pill form each day. During the study, patients will have assessments such as blood tests, imaging scans, heart monitoring, physical exams, biopsies, questionnaires, and a drug diary. Participants will visit the study site two times each 28-day cycle for the first two cycles, then once per cycle thereafter. The most important risks include low blood counts, low oxygen levels, fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, skin reactions, high blood pressure, weight loss, voice changes, and bleeding.
