The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effectiveness, outcomes, and safety (before, during, and after study procedures) of the Inter Atrial Shunt Device (IASD) in the treatment of subjects with heart failure symptoms and relatively normal pumping of the heart. This study involves the use of an investigational medical device called the Corvia Atrial Shunt (CAS) System. The CAS is permanently implanted in the heart to reduce the increased pressure in the left side of the heart by creating a small opening between the two upper chambers of the heart. Participants will have a 50% chance of being in either group A having the CAS placed or group B and not receiving the device. Subjects will have 7 research clinic visits, and multiple telephone calls for a total of 5 years of follow-up. The research clinic visits will include medical exams, health questionnaires, ECG and echocardiogram of the heart and 6 minute hall walk tests.
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.
The study is being conducted to learn more about rocatinlimab in people with AD. It will see if rocatinlimab is effective to treat people with AD and whether it causes side effects. It will also help to establish the beneficial impact of the study treatment with rocatinlimab on the related outcomes including skin itching, skin pain, sleep loss, and impaired quality of life in people with AD. The study duration will last a maximum of 68 weeks (about 1 year 3 months), including a screening period of minimum of 8 days and up to 30 days, a 52-week study treatment period, and a safety follow-up (SFU) visit 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug in case you do not continue into the long-term maintenance study.
This study is for patients with bladder cancer. The study is being done to see if by using one type of chemotherapy instilled in the bladder, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, instead of the usual BCG therapy can lower the chance of the patient's bladder cancer from growing or spreading.

This clinical trial is studying a new approach to how we calculate the dose of infliximab for patients with IBD. Participants are randomized to either the iDose Dashboard, which is a computer program that helps determine the infliximab dosage, or to currently accepted standard of care. All participants will receive IV doses similar at the beginning of the study, but will then be randomized to receive either the treatment arm in which they will use the iDose dashboard or the Standard of care arm in which they will receive dosing every 8 weeks, which is in accordance for the usual care of the patient.
This is a randomized study to test a smartphone app that a pharmacist will use to help kidney transplant patients track their medications, blood pressures, and blood sugars if they have diabetes. The goal of this study is to improve care and outcomes in kidney transplant patients and, in particular, help African American patients have better outcomes after transplant.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and their doctor has recommended external beam radiation therapy. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the side effects of a shorter course of radiation called stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). The expected duration of the study is up to 28 months including one to four months prior to radiation therapy for treatment preparation, two weeks during radiation therapy, and 24 months after radiation therapy.
The goal of this study is to develop a biorepository to store pediatric biospecimens from nephrology cohorts for on-going and future research studies. These studies plan to advance the state of science in the hopes to find more information that potentially leads to developing novel diagnostic approaches and identify therapeutic targets to prevent and/or treat pediatric disease involving the kidneys.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the continuous use of negative pressure dressings for up to 14 days has similar benefits and risks to the continuous use for up to 7 days. The 3M study product being used in this study includes the PREVENA Plus Incision Management System with PREVENA Dressings (Peel & Place, Customizable and ARTHRO●FORM). The study product is considered investigational because it has not been approved by the FDA for continuous use for up to 14 days. It is currently approved for use for up to 7 days.
