Summary

This research study aims to evaluate how effective and safe the 100 mg daily dose of ritlecitinib is for participants. By including the already approved 50 mg daily dose as a reference point, the study seeks to draw direct comparisons between these two dosages. This comparison will help determine if increasing the dosage offers additional benefits or poses any new risks. Participants in this study will be closely monitored to assess both their response to treatment and any potential side effects that may arise. The findings from this investigation are expected to provide valuable insights into optimizing ritlecitinib dosing regimens for better therapeutic outcomes.

Saline Enhanced Radiofrequency (SERF) Needle Ablation for Refractory VT

Researcher
Jeffrey Winterfield

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

This study is testing a new treatment for people with a dangerous heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). VT can cause the heart to beat too fast, leading to fainting, heart failure, or even sudden death. Some people continue to have VT even after taking medicines and undergoing standard ablation procedures. For these patients, current treatment options are very limited.

The investigational treatment uses the Thermedical Ablation System with the Durablate™ catheter. This device delivers both heat and saline (salt water) deep into the heart muscle to target the areas causing abnormal rhythms. The goal is to safely and effectively reduce or eliminate VT episodes in patients who have not responded to other therapies.

About 130 patients will be enrolled at up to 25 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Participants will have the procedure and then be followed for six months with regular checkups to see if the treatment reduces their VT episodes and improves their quality of life. This study will help determine if the new system should be approved for wider clinical use.

Summary

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

A Phase 2, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Visugromab versus Placebo, in Combination with Pembrolizumab, Pemetrexed, and Carboplatin, in First-Line Treatment of Participants with Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (GDFATHER-NSCLC-01)

Summary

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

Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinical Characterization and Outcomes Database

Researcher
Lara Wine Lee

List of Studies


Keywords
Pediatrics, Skin
Summary

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.

A Randomized Phase III Study to Evaluate Benefits of Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Patients with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma That Achieved a First Complete Remission (CR1) Following Induction Therapy (PTCL-STAT)

Summary

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).
