This study is for subjects that have metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC). Metastatic means your cancer has spread outside the area where it started and has spread to distant parts or organs of the body. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet Food and Drug Administration, FDA, approved drug) study drug called sacituzumab govitecan. Sacituzumab govitecan is given intravenously, through IV. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment with sacituzumab govitecan alone and in combination with other treatments namely cisplatin, avelumab and pembrolizumab improves tumor shrinkage. They are antibodies made in a laboratory that blocks signals that the cancer sends to quiet your immune system. By blocking that signal your immune system can see the cancer as foreign and fight it. The subject may remain in the study for 18 months. They may receive additional treatment beyond 18 months if they are tolerating and showing benefit form the treatment.
The PK Papyrus Covered Coronary Stent System is a Humanitarian Use device (HUD) approved for the use of acute perforation in native coronary vessels or coronary bypass grafts in vessels 2.4-5.0mm in diameter. In an emergency situation, PK Papyrus may be used emergently outside its' approved indications if a patient has a life threatening condition that needs immediate treatment and no generally acceptable alternative treatment for the condition exists.
Learning new words is challenging for all toddlers, and it may be particularly challenging for toddlers who are late talkers. In this study, we ask whether late talkers use the same cues to figure out the meanings of new words as do their typically developing peers. Toddlers ages 2.0-2.5 will watch videos of people doing new actions and hear made-up words. An eye-tracking device will capture their face and their gaze patterns, and we will use this data to determine how they are making sense of the new words they are hearing. Results will provide insights into how toddlers learn new words and whether this process relates to toddlers' current language abilities.
This study is for men with prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. This study is being done to see if PET/CT scans help provide more tailored treatment recommendations and outcomes for men who have prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP) and will adding focal, metastasis directed radiation treatment (e.g.., stereotactic radiation) and/or additional systemic therapy (e.g., apalutamide) to standard of care treatment help to delay progression of prostate cancer in men who have already had an RP and now have recurrence?
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.
This study will enroll participants who are hospitalized with decompensated heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump blood efficiently and as a result fluid can build up. This study is testing an investigational, not yet approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) device called the Repreive DMS. The Repreive DMS is an instrument designed to automatically administer medications called diuretics to optimize fluid removal and improve your symptoms of heart failure. This study has a randomized arm in which participants will be randomly assigned to treatment with the Repreive DMS system or standard of care treatment referred to as Optimal Diuretic Therapy. You have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either arm. There is also a registry arm for participants who do not wish to participate in the randomized part of the study. The registry involves collecting data from your standard treatment. The randomized study will last about 13 weeks and involved up to 9 visits. The Repreive DMS involves infusing medication through an IV (intravenous or in the vein) and collecting urine via a foley catheter, which is placed in your bladder. Some of the other procedures involved in this study include physical exams, blood work, urine studies, hearing test, and medication administration.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of namilumab in subjects with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis (CPS). This study will include adult subjects who have been diagnosed with CPS for more than 6 months who are not well controlled by OCS and/or immunosuppressive therapy (IST). 100 total subjects are planned for this study. There will be a Double-blind treatment period of this study lasting approximately 26 weeks as well as an optional Open-Label Extension (OLE) Treatment Period which will extend the length of the study to approximately 64 weeks.
Improving alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment among Veterans is a national public health problem. The rate of AUD among Veterans is twice that of civilians, with up to 50% of Veterans having AUD. Family-based AUD programs are rarely undertaken in busy treatment clinics, and Veterans with problem drinking behavior or AUD are commonly excluded from couple therapies. As a result, there is a need to develop effective family AUD treatments that are both brief and highly accessible to Veterans.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new treatment add-on called Brief Family-Involved Treatment (B-FIT), which will be delivered via telehealth among Veterans engaged in alcohol-based treatment/therapy.
This study is an 12-week, Stage-II, open randomized controlled trial examining B-FIT in combination with treatment as usual, TAU (i.e., B-FIT + CBT treatment) as compared to TAU alone (i.e., CBT treatment). Veterans and their treatment companion (family member, partner, friend) will complete weekly assessments during the treatment phase in addition to 3 & 6 month follow-up assessments, all via telehealth.
This study is for participants who have tricuspid regurgitation, a condition in which your heart's tricuspid valve does not close tightly which causes blood to flow backwards in the incorrect direction. This condition increases the workload on the heart and if left untreated, it can increase the risk of worsening heart failure. In this study, a device called the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System will be used to treat the tricuspid regurgitation. The PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System is an investigational device meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study participants will be randomized, meaning randomly assigned like drawing straws, in a 2:1 fashion to either receive the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System (treatment group) or optimal medical therapy (OMT) (control group). OMT means your medications will be adjusted as needed to provide the most benefit possible. Participants randomized to the OMT group may be eligible to receive the device after completing 2 years of follow up. Participants not eligible for randomization may be eligible for the registry portion of the study if approved by the sponsor. The registry arm participants will not be randomized but will undergo the procedure to place the device.
Participation in this study will last about 5 years and involve up to 15 visits for those in the treatment or registry group and 11 visit for those in the control group. Study related procedures include a right heart catheterization (test to measure the pressures in the heart), echocardiograms (ultrasound test of heart), electrocardiogram or ECG (test of the heart's electrical system) blood work, questionnaires, hall walk test, and physical exam.
Approximately 50% of people who have had a stroke report feelings of tiredness and/or a lack of energy that is not reduced with rest and sleep. This phenomenon is known as post-stroke fatigue. Post-stroke fatigue negatively affects an individual's quality of life and participation in rehabilitation, social, and physical activities. There are currently no known effective treatment options for people with post-stroke fatigue. This study will investigate the use of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat post-stroke fatigue. This method has proven useful in other conditions such as depression and we will measure the effects of TMS on reducing fatigue in individuals more than six months post-stroke.
