This study will test the hypothesis that treatment with larsucosterol is superior to treatment with placebo for improving the 90-day survival rate and 90-day transplant-free surival rate in participants with severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH).
This study investigates the factors contributing to cognitive load among emergency medicine physicians at the Medical University of South Carolina's Main Emergency Department during clinical shifts and identifies those with the greatest impact.
Cognitive load will be measured before and after shifts using a validated survey tool, while corresponding heart rate metrics will be recorded and voluntarily shared throughout and immediately following each shift via personal smartwatches. These physiological and survey data will then be analyzed in the context of clinical events occurring during the shift to assess how specific experiences influence overall cognitive load.
The events under consideration were selected based on findings from a prior study in which MUSC emergency medicine physicians ranked the perceived contributors to their cognitive load. The occurrence of these predetermined events will be documented through direct observation of physicians during shifts and, if applicable, obtained via shift-level operational reports.
A 144-week clinical research study to look at how well an investigational obesity medicine works, along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in participants with obesity.
The medicines are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a week.
This study also includes a placebo.
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare, inherited skin condition that makes the skin extremely fragile, causing painful blisters and wounds from even minor friction or injury. There is currently no cure, and because EB is uncommon, doctors still have limited high-quality data to guide the best treatment and long-term care. This study is part of a large North American effort to collect and organize health information from people with EB into a secure database. By tracking how the disease progresses over time, along with symptoms, complications, and treatments, researchers hope to better understand EB and improve care for future patients. Participation involves consenting to share medical record information and optionally completing brief questionnaires during routine clinic visits or by email. No experimental treatments or extra medical procedures are involved. While there is no direct benefit to participants, the knowledge gained may help improve care and support the development of new treatments in the future.
The MOMENTOUS study will test the prospective performance of the Tempus Pulmonary Hypertension ECG model within patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who do not have a diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension. The purpose of the study is to provide information on the clinical utility of this new technology within a multicenter randomized study. The study will target approximately 1000 participants completing the study over a period of 2-3 years. Study participation will consist of 4 visits over a period of 6 months.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors with tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation/loss with or without brain metastasis. This study is testing an investigational drug called AO-252. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase II does (RP2D), and the safety profile of AO-252. The drug is given to participants orally. Participants can expect to be on this study for approximately 24 months, followed by a 12-month follow-up period.
Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes muscles to contract and/or spasm. This may be painful and can affect the person's ability to complete daily tasks. Dystonia may affect one or multiple parts of the body. Botulinum toxins (BoNT) are the only approved drug in the United States to treat dystonia, and this is only for dystonia of the neck or the eye. There are currently no approved oral treatments for dystonia. Most current treatments only provide relief of symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of the research drug (VIM0423), to find the best dose for treating dystonia, and to see how safe VIM0423 is for patients with dystonia.
This research study is studying VIM0423 as a possible treatment for dystonia. It is being developed to be a combination dose of: VMA-1001 given with VMA-1002.
• VMA-1001 and VMA-1002 will be taken in separate oral doses at the same time.
• VMA-1001 is an extended release (ER) modified version of trihexyphenidyl (THP).
• VMA-1002 is a formulation of bethanechol (BTC).
THP and BTC are medicines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); however, the Sponsor is investigating a different formulation of THP referred to as VMA-1001 and a different formulation of BTC referred to as VMA-1002. The purpose is to attempt to minimize some side effects of THP and is therefore considered an investigational drug in this study. An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA.
You may be in this study for up to 32 weeks from the time you consent until the last study visit.
You will be seen at the study site 6 times (Screening, Day 1, Day 30, Day 60, Day 95, and Day 125) and will complete 4 telephone calls (Day 6, Day 13, Day 20 and Day 105). You may be asked to come for extra visits at any time during the study if the study doctor decides that extra tests are needed for your safety.
Side effects associated with the study drug are dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, dizziness, mild nausea and feeling nervous.
You do not need to take part in this study to receive treatment for your isolated dystonia. The study doctor will explain other options that are available to you. Your other choices may include treatment with other medicines for isolated dystonia, another investigational treatment, treatment that makes you feel more comfortable but will not have an effect on your isolated dystonia, or no treatment.
This research study is testing how well a combination of investigational drugs—N-803 and Tislelizumab with Docetaxel—works compared to Docetaxel alone in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The drugs being studied are not yet approved by the FDA. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (like flipping a coin): the experimental group (receiving the drug combination) or the control group (receiving Docetaxel alone). For every 3 people, 2 will be randomized to the experimental group. You are being asked to join because your cancer has progressed after standard treatment and has become resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Clinic visits will last about 3 to 4 hours and include routine tests and procedures. Treatment will continue until your cancer worsens, you experience severe side effects, choose to stop, or your doctor decides it's best to end treatment. After treatment ends, you'll have a follow-up visit and then be contacted every 3 months for up to 36 months to check on your health, either in person or via telemedicine. N-803 may cause side effects such as fever, high blood pressure, fatigue, itching, diarrhea, nausea, injection site reactions.
Study B7981028 is a Phase 3 long-term, double-blind extension study aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of ritlecitinib in participants with severe alopecia areata (AA). This study includes individuals who have completed previous ritlecitinib studies, B7981031 or B7981027, and are eligible to enroll in the B7981028 study. The research seeks to gather more comprehensive data on the treatment's effects over an extended period.
This study is a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled research study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a skin patch treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 1 to 3. The patch delivers a very small amount of peanut protein through the skin and is designed to help the immune system become less sensitive to peanuts over time.
Participation in the study will last approximately 34 weeks. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time.
