Summary

This study is for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, which can sometimes block the blood flow out of the heart and results in the heart muscle working harder to pump blood to the body. Participants who have completed participation in a previous HCM study investigating the study drug, called aficamten (CK-3773274), will be eligible to participate in this study.

The study is done to collect long-term safety and tolerability data, including assessments of cardiac structure and function during chronic dosing with aficamten. Aficamten is a tablet taken by mouth. This is an open label study (the participants and study team will know the dose of aficamten taken at any given time). If your screening results show you are eligible to continue in the study, you will visit the research site for the "first dosing day" (Day 1), followed by visits at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 12, then every 12 weeks thereafter. Study related procedures include blood work, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), electrocardiogram (recording of heart's electrical activity), physical exams, and questionnaires. Risks associated with this study include shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness.

Summary

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.

A Phase 2 Study of Alisertib in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Keywords

Summary

In this study, researchers are testing a drug called Alisertib in people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread extensively. These patients have already undergone the first round of treatment, but unfortunately, their cancer has started growing again. The drug alisertib works by targeting certain molecules involved in cell division, which are often overactive in cancer cells.

Patients will take alisertib as pills twice a day for a week, followed by a break. To manage side effects, they'll also receive another medication to support their blood cell production. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor how much alisertib is in the patients' blood and how they're responding to treatment.

The study will continue until patients either see their cancer progress, experience intolerable side effects, or decide to leave the study. Even if the cancer spreads to the brain during the study, patients might still be able to continue treatment if it's deemed helpful by their doctor. This research hopes to find out if alisertib can offer a new option for people whose lung cancer has come back after initial treatment.

RELIANCE: A phase 1, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, trial evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of Imatinib for the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAMP-2 Trial)

Summary

The purpose of this medical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new medication called imatinib mesylate in the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM is a rare disease in which abnormal cells (called LAM cells) grow out of control. Over time, LAM cells destroy healthy lung tissue and cause respiratory disease or failure.

Many patients with LAM are currently treated with a medication called sirolimus (rapamycin). Sirolimus slows the growth of LAM cells.

Imatinib mesylate (hereafter called imatinib) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of some cancers that share common pathways with LAM cells. Laboratory studies suggest that imatinib could completely block the growth of LAM cells through initiation of targeted cell death.

An important purpose of this research is to determine the safety of imatinib in people with LAM. This study will also evaluate the short-term effectiveness of imatinib. Participants will be randomized to receiving imatinib (study medication) or placebo (no treatment) for the 180 day duration of participation. The study is being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina and at Columbia University in New York (CUMC). Each site will enroll 10 participants.

Situation Awareness incorporating Multidisciplinary Teams Reduce Arrests In the Pediatric ICU in the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative

Allison Whalen

Keywords
Pediatrics
Summary

Each day in the United States, approximately 41 children experience in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A lack of situation awareness was cited as the most common contributing factor to serious safety events within children's hospitals. Situation awareness is the ability to monitor what is happening, integrate information to develop a comprehensive picture, and extrapolate forward to project the future. The primary objective of this study is to implement unit based interventions (SAMURAI PICU bundle) to reduce the incidence of IHCA in pediatric intensive care units using quality improvement methodology.

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of acoramidis (AG-10) and determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant that can cause ATTR-CM. The sponsor (Eidos) is conducting a research study to see if the study medicine will help in slowing the development and/or progression of a rare disease called Symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). AG-10 is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one and is considered experimental. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. AG-10 has been shown to reduce the level of TTR in the blood of animals and healthy volunteers tested to date. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.

If you meet the requirements and agree to participate in this study, you will go through a 2 part screening period and if approved you will begin treatment. You will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to drug or placebo and take two pills once every day for 60 months.
Your participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of clinic visits and follow up visits at home via the telephone. Some tests requires of you will include an echo, ECG, cardioradionuclide scans (scans that use radioactive agents to look at images of the heart like a PET scan), MRIs, blood tests, nerve conduction test, urine samples, and skin biopsies.
