Summary

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.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ravulizumab in Adult Participants with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN)

Date Added
February 12th, 2025
PRO Number
Pro00137540
Researcher
Anand Achanti

List of Studies


Keywords
Kidney
Summary

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.

Auxora for the Treatment of AKI and Modulation of Injurious "Crosstalk" with the Lung: A Randomized Control Trial (KOURAGE)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00143675
Researcher
Blaithin McMahon

List of Studies


Keywords
Kidney
Summary

This study is designed to help doctors understand how to safely - and at what dose – to give the study drug to patients suffering from acute kidney injury with accompanying acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF). The study is testing Auxora (study drug) against placebo (a substance that has no medical effect).

Your chance of receiving a dose is 50% (for every 1 who receives placebo, 1 receives a dose of Auxora). This selection process is called randomization (like a ‘flip of a coin') and neither you nor your study doctor will know to which group you have been assigned. Every patient in the study will receive his/her dose of Auxora or placebo once a day, for 5 days in a row.

Keywords
Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to see how safe and effective an inhaled medication called seralutinib is for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The primary objective of this study was to assess improvement in cardiopulmonary hemodynamics as measured by change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline to Week 24. The secondary objective of this study was to assess improvement in exercise capacity as measured by change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline to Week 24.

Keywords
Diabetes
Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if formoterol fumarate is effective in treating patients with diabetic kidney disease. Study participants will be randomly assigned to either receive formoterol fumarate (in addition to their current standard of care treatment) or standard of care treatment only. Study participants will have a 50% chance of receiving formoterol fumarate and a 50% chance of not receiving formoterol fumarate. Both groups will continue their standard of care treatment during the study.

Pivotal Method-Comparison Study for the Cardiac Performance System (CPS) to Measure Hemodynamic Parameters

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00145464
Researcher
Rahul Argula

List of Studies


Keywords
Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

Patients suspected of having compromised heart function often require invasive right heart catheterization for diagnosis and management. This study is testing the Cardiac Performance System (CPS), a non-invasive device that uses sensors and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes to measure heart function. The purpose of this study is to determine if the CPS provides pulmonary pressure assessment similar to that obtained through right heart catherization.

List of Studies


Keywords
Critical Care
Summary

The study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7544. The study is focused on adult patients (18 to 85 years old) hospitalized due to a serious infection (called "sepsis" in this form) and receiving standard-of-care medications for low blood pressure (called "vasopressors" in this form) due to sepsis. The aim of the study is to see if REGN7544 is safe, tolerable and effective when compared to placebo, by observing the effects on blood pressure and the total amount of vasopressor dose received. The general procedures include collection of information from medical records, some additional testing, such as electrocardiogram, collection of blood, and having blood pressure and heart rate measured .There will also be a screening visit, two telephone visits, and one additional in-person visit. It is expected that taking part in this research will last about 13 weeks (3 months).

Keywords
Bronchiectasis
Summary

Subjects prescribed with the LibAirty system will be instructed to perform daily therapy sessions per standard device use recommendations. During the study period, subjects will be followed according to standard of care procedures and timelines for Bronchiectasis management. Clinical outcomes and healthcare resource utilization during the study period will be collected and compared to the 12-month period prior to study enrollment. Adherence to therapy will be evaluated by device recorded logs. Health related quality of life and subject satisfaction with the system will be evaluated by designated questionnaires, collected during clinic visits. Subjects will be followed for 12 months after starting therapy. Each subject will be required to complete a screening and enrollment visit, and any scheduled follow up visits according to standard of care timelines through 12 months (with data expected to be collected at 6 and 12 (±1m) months at minimum). Up to one hundred (100) subjects older than 21 years of age, with bronchiectasis who meet the entry criteria will be enrolled to the study, in up to ten (10) sites.

Summary

This study is the first time the drug PF-07868489 will be tested in humans. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body reacts to it. In the first part, healthy adults will receive a single dose to check for any side effects and how the drug moves through the body. In the second part, patients with a specific lung condition called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will receive multiple doses to see if the drug helps their condition and to further check its safety and effects.
