This research study primarily aims to determine if BT8009 alone and when given in combination with pembrolizumab works against urothelial cancer for patients who previously received treatment for their locally advanced or metastatic cancer.
This research study also aims to understand the side effects of BT8009 when given alone and in combination with pembrolizumab.
The study drug BT8009 is investigational (i.e., experimental). An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the Regulatory Authority to treat a certain condition or illness or a certain type of patient.

This study aims to establish the best clinical practice for the management of acute ischemic stroke related to narrowing or blockage of the neck vessels. Currently, the treating physicians use one of two surgical approaches based on their preference. However, we do not know which technique is the best. In this study, you will undergo mechanical thrombectomy using one of the techniques (stenting vs. non-stenting approaches) to determine which technique is better compared to the other.

This study is for female participants who have a history of stage 0-III breast cancer diagnosis. The main purpose of this study is to determine which combination of intervention components is expected to produce the greatest benefit to survivors for the least intervention burden. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 12 months.

This study is for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study is being done to compare overall survival (OS) between patients receiving standard systemic therapy (ST) right away versus delaying systemic therapy and instead starting with irradiation (SAbR) to all metastatic sites and reserving systemic therapy when/if the patient progresses. Also, compare the average AE score between SAbR+ST arm and ST only arm. The study drugs being used as ST are standard of care. Patients will expect to remain in the study for up to 24 months.

You are invited to volunteer in this clinical research study because you have been diagnosed with tricuspid valve regurgitation.

The type of research study you are being asked to join is called an Early Feasibility Study. This means the device and procedure you are receiving (the treatment) have not been previously studied in humans, and that you will be among the first patients in the world to undergo this treatment. The Device you are receiving is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and its safety and effectiveness are unknown.

Participants will undergo right heart catheterizations, computed tomography (CT) scans without iodinated contrast, multiple ultrasounds of the heart, labs, and other assessments. The length of subject participation in the study is 5 years and includes 11 research visits. You will have a screening right heart catheterization (RHC) to check the pressures and function of your heart. The research procedure and placement of the TRIcares Topaz Transfemoral Tricuspid heart Valve (Topaz Tricuspid Valve) will be placed in a hybrid operating room. This procedure is done by entering a vein in your groin known as the femoral vein. The purpose of this device is to eliminate the regurgitation or leaking in the tricuspid valve of the heart to help reduce the symptoms caused by this leaky valve.

The most common risks associated with the research procedure are those related to the right heart catheterization (RHC) and Topaz Tricuspid valve procedure. Major risks include bleeding and damage to the heart or surrounding blood vessels. There are no known benefits of the research device. There may be possible benefits from the research procedure including improvement in quality of life or a decrease in the symptoms caused by tricuspid regurgitation. The information that we obtain from your participation in this study will help us learn more about how safe and effective this approach is in treating the symptoms of individuals similar to yourself.

The goal of this study is to determine if an investigational product (a substance not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration) made from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and taken as a single subcutaneous injection, is safe and well tolerated in individuals with active lupus while also receiving standard of care treatment for their lupus.

The MSCs used in this trial are cells that were obtained from the umbilical cords of healthy donors having an elective Caesarean section and who have been screened to be sure that they are free of any infectious diseases.

Participation in the study will take about 9 visits and 2 telephone calls over a period of 7 months. With participation, compensation is available.

At study visits you will have blood and urine labs collected, physical exam/lupus specific assessments, and be asked to complete a questionnaire. These procedures are much like those completed at your routine standard of care visits with your rheumatologist.

The risks to study participation are that only a few hundred people worldwide have been treated with MSCs. So far, there have been no serious side effects when MSCs have been used. Potential risks could however include an allergic reaction to the cells, development of infection, or MSCs changing into cancer cells.

Prior to any use of the MSC injection, participants will have a thorough review of the study and given an opportunity to consider their options and have all questions/concerns answered. A screening visit will be completed to ensure that participation is appropriate - participant safety is a priority of the study.

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to compare continuous treatment with zanubrutinib to treatment with zanubrutinib that is stopped after the initial six 28-day cycles of chemotherapy and restarted at the first time your disease gets worse following the initial six 28-day cycles of chemotherapy. The subject may remain in the study for up to 10 years.

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.

The purpose of this research study is to assess whether morning bright light therapy using a wearable glasses device called a Re-Timer could potentially improve Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms and decrease intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Morning bright therapy will be administrated through a safe-wearable device called a Re-Timer. The Re-Timer glasses are lightweight and deliver blue-green light at 500nm, mimicking exposure to natural light.

For patients in cancer care, quitting smoking is critical, but a significant portion of patients in cancer care refuse all components of tobacco treatment, even when offered proactively and free of charge. The proposed clinical trial will assess one harm reduction intervention, switching completely from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, among oncology outpatients who smoke and refuse traditional tobacco treatment.
