This study is to evaluate an investigational study drug, itepekimab, for the treatment of bronchiectasis. The main purpose for this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of itepekimab in bronchiectasis in addition to the current background treatment you are receiving which may include bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, mucolytics, and/or maintenance antibiotics. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo if you participate in this research. This study will include about 300 participants with bronchiectasis across approximately 20 countries worldwide.
This study is enrolling subjects with high blood pressure who just received a pacemaker (an implantable device placed in the upper chest that monitors the heart rate and can send an electrical signal if needed to pace the heart to maintain a normal heart rate) or are about to undergo a pacemaker implant. This is a randomized study meaning subjects will be assigned by chance to have a new program downloaded to the pacemaker to help control blood pressure or to not receive the program. Subjects will have a 50:50 chance to receive the program. The new program is called AVIM therapy and it is investigational meaning it has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) Participation in this study will last about 36 months and include about 10 visits. Study related procedures include blood pressure monitoring including wearing a 24 hour blood pressure monitor, blood work, questionnaires, echocardiogram - an ultrasound test of the heart, pacemaker interrogation (meaning your pacemaker is checked to obtain the information stored on it) and randomization. Study related risks include risks related to the software download such as the risk that the software will not help control blood pressure, risks related to study related procedures and the risk of the loss of confidentiality.
This study is testing a new radiotracer dye called I-124 evuzamitide in patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. Cardiac amyloidosis occurs when proteins misfold and deposit as amyloid fibrils in the heart. The build up of these fibrils (proteins) cause the heart to enlarge due to wall thickening so the heart has to work harder. Over time, this can lead to heart failure. I-124 evuzamitide is given during a Positron Emissions Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan to help diagnose cardiac amyloidosis. It is not a treatment for amyloidosis. I-124 evuzamitide is considered investigational meaning it is not approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA). It will be given one time through an intravenous line, meaning in the vein before the PET/CT scan.
This study will last about 60 days and include 4 visits. The final study visit will take place at day 30 but medical records will be reviewed up to day 60. In addition to receiving I-124 evuzamitide, participants will also receive potassium iodide, an approved medication, by mouth to take for 3 days to protect the thyroid gland from the radiotracer I-124 evuzamitide, electrocardiogram (ECG), bloodwork and questionnaires.
Part A of this study will compare the effects of Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension to placebo. The purpose of this study is to find out if Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension can treat NTM lung disease by getting rid of the bacteria from the lungs and to make sure that Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension is safe for use. The participant will continue with current treatment for NTM lung disease in this study. To test if the bacteria are gone from the lungs, sputum will be tested on a regular basis (every month) to see if the culture changes from positive to negative. Participants will be randomly assigned by chance (like drawing numbers from a hat) to either Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension or placebo.
After the participant completes the study treatment in Part A, they will be eligible to receive Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension in Part B.
Approximately 234 participants will take part in the study at approximately 120 sites globally.
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.
IgAN is a progressive condition that causes chronic kidney disease. Over time, some patients develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplant.
The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational medication is safe and effective in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.
If you are eligible for the study and decide to participate, you will come to MUSC for study visits for about 3 years. These visits will involve blood and urine samples, questions about your health, EKGs, and physical exams. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a weight-based IV infusion of ravulizumab or placebo for 106 weeks. Depending on your response to initial treatment, there is a possibility of additional treatment. An exploratory, open-label cohort of approximately 20 participants with eGFR 20-29 mL/min/1.73m2 may also be enrolled to expand the evidence of ravulizumab in participants with advanced kidney impairment at high risk for ESKD progression.
There is no guarantee that being in this study will help you. There is no cost to participate and compensation is available for the study visits.
Ritlecitinib (PF 06651600) is an investigational drug (referred to as "study drug" from here on) and is being developed as possible study treatment for participants with non segmental vitiligo (both active and stable vitiligo). The study drug will be compared with a placebo to find out if the study drug is better than the placebo for the study treatment of vitiligo. After a screening period of up to 30 days, approximately 1000 eligible participants (Part Ia) will be randomized in a 3:1:1 ratio to ritlecitinib 100 mg QD (600 participants), ritlecitinib 50mg QD (200 participants), and placebo (200 participants) in the 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period. At Week 52, based how patients respond to the study drug will enter the 52 week extension period.
M1095-HS-304 is a Phase 3, open-label, single-arm design that assesses the safety and tolerability of sonelokimab in adolescent patients with HS. The study population will comprise adolescent participants (aged ≥12 to ≤17 years) with moderate to severe HS.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with platinum-resistant, high-grade ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who have received at least 1 and no more than 3 prior systemic lines of anticancer therapy. The investigational drug used in this study is Raludotatug Deruxtecan (R-DXd). Investigational means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of R-DXd for further clinical development. In Phase 3, participants will be randomized between R-DXd and investigator's choice of chemotherapy. Randomization is like flipping a coin, essentially meaning that each option has an equal likelihood of being selected. The drug is given to participants through infusion. Participants can continue to receive the study drug until it no longer gives them benefit. Researchers will continue to follow up with patients long-term.
This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of an inhibitor treatment called bomedemstat. Bomedemstat is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment. The main purpose of the study is to how bomedemstat compares to BAT (best available therapy) as an effective treatment for ET. The study will enroll approximately 300 patients who will be randomly assigned 1:1 (like flipping a coin) to either bomedemstat or BAT. The study includes a screening phase, initial treatment phase, extended treatment phase, and posttreatment phase. The initial treatment portion of the study begins on study Day 1 and continues until the participant completes treatment at Week 52. The primary endpoint analysis will be performed on data from the first 52 weeks of treatment. Patients who have not discontinued study treatment at Week 52 will be eligible to continue receiving study treatment in the Extended Treatment Phase for up to Week 156. Patients in the BAT arm who have received a minimum of 52 weeks of treatment and discontinued study treatment due to intolerance/resistance/refractoriness/inadequate response (defined by the investigator as per the local product labels of BAT regimens) may be eligible to switch to the bomedemstat arm during the Extended Treatment Phase at the investigator's discretion (as per protocol defined eligibility to receive bomedemstat). Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
