Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes muscles to contract and/or spasm. This may be painful and can affect the person's ability to complete daily tasks. Dystonia may affect one or multiple parts of the body. Botulinum toxins (BoNT) are the only approved drug in the United States to treat dystonia, and this is only for dystonia of the neck or the eye. There are currently no approved oral treatments for dystonia. Most current treatments only provide relief of symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of the research drug (VIM0423), to find the best dose for treating dystonia, and to see how safe VIM0423 is for patients with dystonia.
This research study is studying VIM0423 as a possible treatment for dystonia. It is being developed to be a combination dose of: VMA-1001 given with VMA-1002.
• VMA-1001 and VMA-1002 will be taken in separate oral doses at the same time.
• VMA-1001 is an extended release (ER) modified version of trihexyphenidyl (THP).
• VMA-1002 is a formulation of bethanechol (BTC).
THP and BTC are medicines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); however, the Sponsor is investigating a different formulation of THP referred to as VMA-1001 and a different formulation of BTC referred to as VMA-1002. The purpose is to attempt to minimize some side effects of THP and is therefore considered an investigational drug in this study. An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA.
You may be in this study for up to 32 weeks from the time you consent until the last study visit.
You will be seen at the study site 6 times (Screening, Day 1, Day 30, Day 60, Day 95, and Day 125) and will complete 4 telephone calls (Day 6, Day 13, Day 20 and Day 105). You may be asked to come for extra visits at any time during the study if the study doctor decides that extra tests are needed for your safety.
Side effects associated with the study drug are dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, dizziness, mild nausea and feeling nervous.
You do not need to take part in this study to receive treatment for your isolated dystonia. The study doctor will explain other options that are available to you. Your other choices may include treatment with other medicines for isolated dystonia, another investigational treatment, treatment that makes you feel more comfortable but will not have an effect on your isolated dystonia, or no treatment.
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.
This is an open-label pilot study firstly assessing safety and feasibility of a form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular neuromodulation, or tAN, in women with postpartum depression (PPD). Secondly, we will be assessing the impact of at-home tAN on mood, empathy, and physiological markers of sympathetic activity in women with PPD. Participants will learn how to self-administer ear stimulation treatments in the lab before starting the at-home study. Over the course of one week, participants will self-administer ear stimulation treatments three times a day. Each treatment will last up to 60 minutes (1 hour) and there will be a break of at least 30 minutes in between treatments. The study team will ask participants to complete a group of questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study, as well as undergo heart rate variability (HRV) assessments and provide salivary samples. There will also be a smaller number of questionnaires completed electronically at the midpoint of the study. The questionnaires will ask questions about mental health symptoms that subjects may or may not be experiencing, including questions about mood, anxiety, and feelings towards their newborn.
This research study will evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of APG777 in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who have already completed treatment in a previous APG777 study. The study is multicenter and double-blind, and participants will continue with the same dose and injection schedule as in their prior study. The study includes three periods: a screening visit, an extended treatment period of about 92 weeks, and a post-treatment follow-up of up to 52 weeks. Patients who met certain improvement criteria in the previous study will continue their maintenance regimen, while others will enter an open-label Escape Arm with a different dosing schedule. The study aims to determine whether long-term use of APG777 is safe and effective for patients who may benefit from continued treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to confirm the safety of the study drug (Prismocitrate 18) and the study device for patients with acute kidney injury receiving a type of dialysis treatment known as Continuous Renal replacement Therapy (CRRT). When a patient receives CRRT, a blood thinner (also known as an "anticoagulant") is frequently given. In the United States (U.S.), an anticoagulant called, Heparin, is commonly used for CRRT. Some patients have a high risk of bleeding and cannot be given heparin, because it can cause harm to them. For these patients, an anticoagulant, called citrate, can be used. The study drug being tested contains citrate. The study drug works as an anticoagulant and may also help cleanse your blood during the CRRT treatment.
This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an investigational drug called zilovertamab vedotin. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the study, participants will be randomized to two different groups (like flipping a coin). The first group will receive zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone]. The second group will receive the standard care regimen: polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. The drugs will be given through an IV, and prednisone may be given to participants by mouth. The primary purpose of the study is to learn if zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP is safe and effective for treating DLBCL. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to 5.5 years. The first six months will be participation in treatment, and the following five years will be follow-up.
This is a descriptive study designed to determine the proportion of women who are sexually active after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, with particular focus on those aged 65 and older. Because sacrocolpopexy carries certain risks—especially in older women—but also preserves vaginal length and may improve sexual function, understanding post-surgical sexual activity can help clinicians counsel patients when choosing between reconstructive surgeries, which preserve vaginal length, and obliterative surgeries, which do not. The study also aims to better understand patient values in surgical decision-making related to sexual activity. Women who had sacrocolpopexy at MUSC since January 1, 2015 will be contacted to complete two questionnaires: one assessing sexual activity and satisfaction with surgery, and one assessing sexual function using an adapted PISQ-IR questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics to examine the proportion of sexually active women in groups under 65 versus 65 and older, as well as to compare their sexual function outcomes.
This observational, multi-country cohort study examines the long-term safety of Filsuvez in real-world clinical practice. Researchers will collect both primary data and use existing patient registry data to gather information on Filsuvez exposure, skin malignancies, medical history, and other clinical characteristics. The study will include patients with confirmed diagnoses of DEB and JEB, regardless of whether they use Filsuvez, as long as they meet the approved indication. Patients previously exposed to Filsuvez through clinical trials, early access programs, or compassionate use programs may also participate. The study does not require any protocol-mandated visits or procedures, and the frequency of patient visits will follow local standard practice and individual patient needs.
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.
