This study is enrolling subjects with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM). nHCM is typically a genetic condition in which the main pumping chamber of the heart (called the left ventricle) becomes abnormally thickened and stiff, which makes it harder for the ventricle to fill and pump out enough blood. This study involves the investigational medication Aficamten, which means it is not approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) Aficamten is designed to reduced excessive heart pumping function. This is a randomized study which means all subjects are assigned to receive either Aficamten or placebo. Subjects have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group, but will not know which group they are assigned. Placebo looks like the medication but does not have any active ingredients in it. Study procedures include exercise testing, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), blood work, questionnaires and genetic testing. Study risks include risks associated with the study medication including decreased heart pumping, nausea, headache and dizziness. There are also study procedure related risks, and the risk of loss of confidentiality. There may be no benefit but the information learned may benefit others in the future. Study participation will last between 10.5 and 19 months and include up to 13 visits to the study site. Visits will generally last 2-3 hours.

This research study is a prospective registry trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel decellularized human femoral artery allograft (Nexeon AVX) in the creation of vascular access for hemodialysis in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Data from clinic visits will be collected for up to 2 years after treatment begins.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients are at high risk for respiratory viral infection (RVI). This study aims to establish a comprehensive RVI diagnostic and disease progression predictive model in children undergoing HCT and SOT. Findings will result in the first ever evidence-based pediatric guidelines.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to analyze return to pre-injury activity level on subjects with lateral ankle instability undergoing a modified Broström reconstruction procedure for repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL). The subjects undergoing ATFL reconstructive procedure using the Artelon FLEXBAND® system as an augmentation device will be compared to subjects undergoing a standard modified Broström procedure alone. Artelon FLEXBAND is a commercially available, polycaprolactone (PCL) polyurethane urea (PUUR) multipolymer synthetic knitted mesh that is used for soft tissue reinforcement procedures. The device is biocompatible and degradable and has been used as an augmentation device in over 50,000 Orthopedic tendon and ligament reconstructive procedures. Artelon FLEXBAND has received its FDA 510(k) clearance. Enrollment is expected to take approximately 1 year. All subjects will be followed for 2 years post-operatively for a total study duration of approximately 3 years. Study follow-up visits will occur at 2-, 6-, 12-, 18- and 26-weeks, and 1- and 2-years after surgery. Possible, anticipated procedure-related risks associated with using the FLEXBAND device include, but are not limited to, infections, both deep and superficial, allergies or other reaction to device materials, dislocation, subluxation or inadequate scope of movement as a result of failure to achieve optimum positioning of the implant, bone fractures as a result of one-sided overload or weakened bone structure, temporary or permanent nerve damage as a result of pressure or hematoma, wound hematoma, and delayed wound healing. Benefits include improvement in function, including return to pre-injury activity levels.

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 2a
proof of concept study of VS-01 in adult patients with ACLF grades 1
and 2 and ascites. Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled. Sample
size was calculated to meet the study objectives assuming a 10% dropout rate.

This phase I trial will determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with high-dose systemic methotrexate and rituximab, with or without nivolumab, as induction treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma. In addition, whether the combination of drugs can extend the control of CNS lymphoma by being used as maintenance (prolonged treatment) after control is achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen (induction) will be judged. If decided to take part in the study, participants will complete pre-study testing, and if allowed to participate in study different people will get different doses of the study drug lenalidomide during induction chemotherapy. If the drug does not cause serious side effects, the next group of people in the study will get a higher dose, and the doses will continue to increase for every new group until people have serious side effects that require the dose to be lower. Lenalidomide will be taken by mouth on days 5 to 14 of each induction cycle. Once the dose of lenalidomide is found, the next group of people in the study will receive nivolumab in combination with the other drugs (methotrexate, rituximab, and lenalidomide). The first drug administered in each cycle is rituximab, which is given as an intravenous infusion typically in the infusion center. The day after rituximab, participants will be admitted to the hospital for the infusion of methotrexate. Enrolled participants that present benefit after induction will receive lenalidomide and nivolumab as prolonged therapy (maintenance) for an additional 12 months (12 cycles and each cycle is 28 days) or until the disease gets worse or the side effects become too severe. After treatment is completed the study doctor will continue to follow up on participants condition for 2 years to observe side effects. After 2 years the doctor will continue to follow up either in clinic or by phone for up to 5 years after registration. The most common side effects known are kidney damage, infusion reaction, blood clots, birth defects, immune toxicity, fever and infections, and there may be some risks that the study doctor is not aware of yet. Once the combination is proven safe, this study will allow for future studies to determine whether the combination of these four drugs can improve the response to treatment and help increase the understanding of their use in primary CNS lymphoma treatment. It is unclear whether these drugs will help participants live longer than the usual approach alone.

This is a multi-center study that we have been invited to join that will evaluate the LVAD pump function in relation to adverse events. We are the 8th largest implanting center for LVADs in the United States and feel it is important to be a part of this.

This is a global, Phase 3b/4, randomized, open-label, efficacy assessor-blinded, multi-center study that will evaluate upadacitinib compared to dupilumab in adult subjects with moderate to severe AD and inadequate response to dupilumab after at least 6 months of current use. The study consists of a 35-day Screening Period; an 8-week randomized, open-label, efficacy assessor blinded treatment period for all participants (Period 1); a 24-week open-label, efficacy assessor-blinded extension period for all participants who finish Period 1 (Period 2) (total duration of Period 1 and Period 2 is 32 weeks); and a 30-day Follow-up visit.

This phase III study is for participants with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is negative for a type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). If decided to participate in this study, participants will be receive either ficlatuzumab in combination with cetuximab, or placebo in combination with cetuximab. There are 3 Arms participants will be randomly assigned to: Arm 1 will receive ficlatuzumab (10mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion) and cetuximab (by IV infusion), Arm 2 will be given ficlatuzumab (20mg/kg by IV infusion) and cetuximab, and Arm 3 will receive placebo and cetuximab. The effectiveness of the 2 different ficlatuzumab groups (Arm 1 and Arm 2) will be compared at the first on-study scan, and the more successful Arm will began enroll more participants. This study is estimated to last approximately 5 years. Study drugs will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or until the Sponsor terminates the study (whichever comes first). The main risk associate with the trial are swelling of your lower legs or arms, fatigue, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bone pain, decreased appetite, anemia, high level of liver enzymes in your blood, dizziness, infusion reactions, cardiopulmonary arrest, pulmonary (lung) toxicity, skin reactions, inflammation of the mouth, low blood counts, liver problems, infection, headache, allergic reactions, and there may be unknown risks. This treatment can not guarantee the cancer will get better, since it may stay the same or get worse. What is discovered from this study may help other people in the future. The alternative to this study is not participating in this study and receiving HNSCC in patients who have previously received immunotherapy including chemotherapy with other treatment drugs or another clinical trial.

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, 2-arm study. This study will be conducted in approximately 20 centers globally, in subjects with IPF. Participation will last for about 18 weeks and include about 12 study clinic visits with the Study Doctor and/or study staff. This study will take place over approximately a year. The study will investigate a single dose level of GRI-0621 of 4.5mg compared with placebo, following once daily oral administration for 12 weeks. Approximately 36 subjects with IPF will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio for GRI-0621 4.5mg or Placebo. The study consists of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period and a Safety Follow-Up Period. The Screening Period will be conducted within 4 weeks prior to randomization, and is comprised of at least two separate in-clinic visits to assess eligibility.
Concurrently, a BAL Sub-Study will be conducted, for up to 12 eligible subjects (across various centers). The objective of the Sub-Study is to examine the role of NKT cells in fibrotic lung disease.
