Summary

This is an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical research trial (referred to also as a trial or a research trial) sponsored by AtriCure, Inc (the Sponsor) to learn whether the use of the AtriClip® LAA Exclusion System to close off your left atrial appendage (LAA) during your heart surgery will reduce the risk of stroke. The AtriClip has not been well studied or approved by the FDA for stroke prevention; therefore, this procedure is considered investigational.

Keywords
Pain
Summary

Patients with chronic pancreatitis often suffer from severe abdominal pain that reduce their quality of life. The major purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of an infusion of the patient's own stem cells to relieve chronic pain. The stem cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow and grown in the clean lab to be used for treatment. After infusion into the vein, the participant will be followed for 12 months to evaluate their pain and other outcomes.

Effects of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure on Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function in Patients Undergoing Heart Transplant or Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

Summary

Patients with end stage heart failure (HF) exhibit abnormalities in their skeletal muscle, thought to be as a result of reduced blood flow to the muscle as their HF worsens. We will identify the relative nature of these changes by obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies in HF patients as well as healthy control subjects without HF. These biopsies will be from the right upper thigh as well as from the right calf muscle. We will compare these biopsies to identify if the changes we are seeing are in fact more severe in the calf compared to the thigh muscle.

Characterization of barriers and facilitators of guideline concordant extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after major cancer surgery

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00127734
Researcher
Thomas Curran

List of Studies


Keywords
Bowel, Cancer/Gastrointestinal, Surgery
Summary

While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications available to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reasons why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. We aim to characterize barriers and facilitators to extended blood clot prophylaxis guideline adherence as perceived by stakeholders via interviews with a diverse group of patients and surgeons at hospitals within the MUSC Health system that routinely perform cancer surgery. These findings will inform educational interventions to improve the use of guideline concordant care and mitigate observed disparities in cancer care.

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with with a certain type of breast cancer, characterized as HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2)-negative and hormonal receptor (HR)-positive, and with a specific characteristic (molecular subtype) called HeER2-Enriched. The investigational drugs used in this study are Ribociclib and Palbociclib. The main purpose of this study is to learn determine if participants with the specific HER2-Enriched subtype will have delayed progression of the disease when treated with ribociclib compared to palbociclib. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 5 years.
