Summary

This research study is being conducted to gather information about patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to better understand their knowledge and preferences about self-help resources and learn how to help patients better manage their disease. Participation in this study will involve signing a research consent form, completing questionnaires, and the opportunity to participate in self-help resources. Some participants may be offered the opportunity to participate in a virtual focus group, as well. Participation in the study will last approximately 3 months.

Keywords
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Summary

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 200 mg twice daily (BID) of BBT-877 in patients with IPF, with or without AF approved background therapies (pirfenidone or nintedanib). For both the placebo and BBT-877 groups, patients will be selected so that 40% to 60% of the patients in each group will be treated with pirfenidone or nintedanib in order to investigate if BBT-877 could be used as either monotherapy or add-on therapy to AFs, to further reduce the decline in lung function and/or improve symptoms as compared to those drugs alone. As a result, 60% to 40% of the patients will receive BBT-877 or placebo, alone.

Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) Strategies Domain

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Critical Care
Summary

This study is part of what is called a platform study. This platform study, called the "PRACTICAL" study is designed so that various interventions can be evaluated at the same time against standard therapy. This allows researchers to compare these newer interventions to each other as well as to the established usual practice and helps them explore different ways to potentially improve the management of lung injury. Within the platform study there are various different sub-studies that have their own interventions and procedures. This domain sub-study is the "Mechanical Ventilation Study" and it is a multi-centre, randomized, open-label trial that will evaluate multiple ventilation strategies in comparison to conventional lung-protective ventilation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). This domain will enroll perpetually, as interventions are added, continued, or discontinued. Researchers for this study are looking for different types of ventilation strategies (ways that the ventilators control settings can be adjusted) that may be the most helpful for people in their recovery, while also reducing lung damage caused by the ventilator.

Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study in an international setting (North America, Europe, and Israel) to follow clinical outcomes for patients with complex fistulizing conditions for 24 months after undergoing surgical intervention to treat the index fistula. During participation, standardized data on exposure and outcomes (clinical, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU)) will be collected from electronic data capture forms (EDCs). Following the surgical intervention for the fistulizing condition (index date), outcomes will be assessed at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-surgery (post-index).

A Phase 4, Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm Study of a Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure-Targeted Approach with Early and Rapid Treprostinil Therapy to Reverse Right Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: ARTISAN (Afterload Reduction To Improve Right Ventricular Structure And FuNction)

Keywords
Critical Care, Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

This is a phase 4, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed
to evaluate the effect of early and rapid treprostinil therapy on mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) reduction to improve Right ventricular (RV) function and reverse RV remodeling in patients with PAH. This study will use the CardioMEMS™ HF System (CardioMEMS) to measure and monitor mPAP, but may allow mPAP monitoring via RHC (right heart catheterization), if CardioMEMS is NOT available at a subject's Baseline Visit (Day 1) or if the CardioMEMS™ PA Sensor implantation is unsuccessful.

Participation is expected to be up to 37 months and will include about 10 office visits to the study doctor. This will be divided up into a 30-day Screening Period, a 12-month Treatment Period, and a 24-month Extended Treatment Period.

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Critical Care
Summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ExoFlo for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). The purpose of this study is to research and evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) administration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicles, ExoFlo, as treatment for Moderate-to-Severe ARDS. Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (bmMSC)-Derived Extracellular Vesicles is an investigational drug created from human bone marrow being studied for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ARDS. This is a research study that will involve monitoring oxygen and inflammation levels after taking the investigational product and assessing the safety of the investigational product. The experimental treatment is a biologic product called Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (bmMSC)-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Allograft Product ExoFlo, which is purified from the bone marrow of a healthy well-screened individual. Participants will receive either 15mL of the investigational product with 85 mL of normal saline or 100 mL of normal saline only (placebo). The expected duration of participation in the study is a maximum of 61 days, which includes 1-day screening prior to treatment and 60 days following the first treatment.

Keywords
Coronavirus
Summary

The protocol aims to improve standard of care, by ensuring an agile research infrastructure, with an ability to rapidly assess interventions during epidemic transmission of one or more respiratory pathogens adversely affecting public health.

Trials within this protocol can be adaptive, will be randomized, and will have superiority as the primary objective. Comparisons in the trials may be between an unlicensed agent to a blinded placebo plus standard of care (SOC), between an approved off-label agent to a blinded placebo plus SOC, among several active interventions (blinded or non-blinded; i.e., a comparative effectiveness study), or among different treatment strategies.

Summary

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical
study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 vs placebo in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). a screening period of up to 28 days, 100 participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 dose levels of TTI-101 (25 participants per dose level) or matching placebo (25 participants). Enrollment will be stratified by current use of nintedanib. The assigned study drug will be self-administered orally in tablet form twice daily (BID) with a glass of water after a meal. Once randomized, each participant will maintain their current standard of care supportive medications, including cough treatment, medications for symptom relief or quality of life improvements, oxygen therapy where indicated, respiratory physiotherapy, and treatment of comorbidities. Following randomization, all participants will enter the 12-week, double-blind treatment period.

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to see how effectively and how safely two different doses of bexotegrast (160 and 320 mg) can be taken every day for 52 weeks (about 12 months) by subjects with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) who are taking or not taking background therapy (other drugs for IPF include nintedanib or pirfenidone). The study is designed to test the study drug in subjects who are taking or not taking background therapy and will include about 80 subjects who are not taking background therapy at study entry. Subjects who are not taking background therapy at study entry will be allowed to start it at any time during the study. The study will consist of an up to 28-day Screening Period, a 52-week Treatment Period, and a 14-day Safety Follow-up Period. Participants will undergo an end-of-study visit at the end of the Safety Follow-up Period.
