This study involves a procedure called renal denervation with an investigational device called the TIVUS™ system for the treatment of resistant hypertension (high blood pressure). Investigational means it is not yet approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Renal denervation is a procedure done by introducing a catheter (long tube) into the large blood vessel in your groin (top of leg) and guiding it to your renal arteries, which are the blood vessels that go to your kidneys. The catheter will be placed in the renal arteries and ultrasound energy will be delivered to the renal arteries.
This study is randomized, meaning you will be assigned to one of two groups, by chance, like drawing straws. Two out of three participants will be randomized to renal denervation while one out of three will be randomized to sham. Sham means you will go through all the steps of the procedure but will not receive the treatment. Those participants randomized to sham will have the option to crossover and have the procedure after the 6 month follow up.
This study will involve at least 12 visits over the course of 36 months. Study related procedures include CT scan, ultrasound test of your heart and kidneys, blood work, urine studies, physical exams, questionnaire, and keeping home blood pressure diaries.
Study related risks include risks related to the procedure including pain, bleeding, damage to the blood vessels, risks related to the study related testing such as radiation risks, blood draw risks and loss of confidentiality. There may be benefit to you as well as others in the future with high blood pressure.

This study is asking for volunteers who have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). PE is a blood clot that blocks and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung. PE usually results from a blood clot in the leg that travels to the lung. Patients with PE may have shortness of breath, chest pain and/or an irregular heartbeat. This study will use a device known as the Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System. The Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System is a medical device which is indicated for use in the pulmonary arteries for the non-surgical removal of blood clots from blood vessels. The Vertex System has not yet been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but is approved for use in this study for PE removal. Your study doctor will inform you about the risks that are related to your PE procedure. The risks associated with the study include loss of confidentiality and unknown risks. There will be no benefit to you, but it is hoped the information gained will add to the understanding of treatment options for others in the future. You do not have to participate to have your condition treated. This study will take 30 days to complete.

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of irritability associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study is designed to look at the efficacy and safety of lumateperone (CAPLYTA) for the treatment of irritability associated with ASD among pediatric participants between the ages of 5 to 17 years.

It is a 6-week study, and the study drug will be compared to a placebo. Following this study, there will be an opportunity to participate in an open-label extension study where all participants will be on the active study medicine.

This registry is enrolling subjects who are indicated for renal denervation to treat high blood pressure that has remained high despite treatment. Renal denervation is a procedure where a catheter (a thin, flexible plastic tube with four electrodes near the end) is placed inside the blood vessels that go to the kidneys. Heat is delivered through the electrodes to disable the nerve activity and lower the blood pressure.

Participation in this registry will last about 1-3 years and include 3-6 visits depending on how often your doctor typically conducts follow up visits. Data will be collected including medical history, medications, blood pressure readings, labs, from the procedure and from any complications if applicable. There is a risk of loss of confidentiality and there may be risks that are not known. There may be no direct benefit but the information learned may help others in the future.

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of irritability associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study is designed to look at the usefulness and safety of lumateperone (CAPLYTA) for the treatment of irritability associated with ASD among pediatric participants between the ages of 5 to 17 years. The study will last approximately 26 weeks and the participants will receive the study drug, lumateperone.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of NXC-201 at different doses in participants with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, and to confirm the best dose for further testing. In addition, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of NXC-201 in treating relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis.

AL amyloidosis is a rare systemic disorder caused by an abnormality of plasma cells (a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system) in the bone marrow. Misfolded proteins produced by these cells can build up in and around tissues, nerves and organs, gradually affecting their function. This can cause progressive and widespread organ damage.

NXC-201 is made using a person's own T Cells (immune system cells that protect the body from infections, cancer, and other possible harms). The T cells are collected then genetically modified (changes are made to the DNA or genes) outside of the body in a laboratory. A virus is used to introduce a gene that creates a protein (called a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR) on the surface of T cells. The virus then becomes inactive. The changes are designed to help the NXC-201 cells find and destroy plasma cells that have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). T-cell therapies like NXC-201 are called CAR T-cell therapies. After being reinjected, the CAR-T cells multiply and spread throughout the body.

NXC-201 is an investigational "treatment", which means it has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of AL Amyloidosis or any other disease.

Calling the study drug a "treatment" in this consent form does not indicate that it will be effective in treating your AL Amyloidosis.

Before receiving NXC-201, participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (or lymphodepletion) with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine to briefly weaken (suppress) your immune system. The lymphodepletion will help prepare the body for receiving NXC-201. Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine are FDA-approved for use as lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
