Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety (what side effects the study treatment may have) and effectiveness (how well the study treatment works to relieve symptoms) of BOTOX when injected into the bladder of adult females for the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis/ Bladder Pain Syndrome. Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and debilitating urological condition characterized by symptoms of bladder pain or discomfort and accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent toilet visits, often also during bedtime. BOTOX might be able to temporarily reduce bladder pain/discomfort and improve your accompanying urinary symptoms. There will be a total of 9 study visits over a period of approximately 28 weeks which includes up to 28 days (4 weeks of screening), a treatment visit, and 24 weeks of follow-up if you receive only one treatment. If you choose to receive a second treatment (which will be BOTOX), you could have a total of up to 13 visits and be in the study for an additional 12 weeks for a total of up to 44 weeks (depending on when you request retreatment) which includes the 28 days (4 weeks of screening). If you are already
receiving treatment for IC-BPS, after you have signed the informed consent, you may have to washout of your medication prior to screening and throughout your study participation. If you have a urinary tract infection [UTI] that requires treatment, an additional 14-day extension is allowed to receive Treatment 2 for total study
participation of up to 46 weeks. You may need to attend additional unscheduled visits for safety or other reasons.

Keywords

Summary

This study is seeking participants with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), due to a genetic abnormality known as a PKP2 variant. ARVD/C is an inherited disease where the muscle tissue in the right ventricle, one of the lower pumping chambers of the heart, dies and is replaced with scar tissue. This causes a weakened heart muscle and disrupts the heart's electrical system which can lead to heart failure and/or fatal heart rhythms. This study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication, meaning it is not yet approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study medication is a gene therapy called LX-2020, and is designed to add new PKP2 genes to replace the faulty ones so your cells can make the correct PKP2 genes. The study medication is given via an intravenous (IV) line meaning in a vein. Participation in this study involve up to 25 visits including a hospitalization over the course of 1 year with an additional 4 years of follow up afterwards. Study related procedures include a variety of heart testing like electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, a test that records a tracing of the heart's electrical activity, Echocardiogram, (echo) a test that uses ultrasound to capture moving images of the heart, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a test that shows an image of the heart and surrounding structures, sample collection including blood, urine, tissue, nasal mucus, saliva and stool, liver ultrasound, questionnaires, physical exams, and at least a two night stay in the hospital. Medications to suppress (meaning weaken) the immune system, before receiving the LX2020 are also required. Risks associated with gene therapy include an immune response that may cause inflammation in the liver, heart or other organs. It may damage red blood cells, cause a low platelet count or cause the formation of small blood clots. There are also risk related to the study procedures including bleeding associated with the heart biopsy, risks related to drawing blood, risks of radiation, and loss of confidentiality. There is potential benefit and in the future, others with ACM may benefit from the knowledge gained from this study.

Summary

This study involves research, and participation is voluntary. The purpose of the study is to see if a single dose and multiple doses of the study drug, AV 380, are safe and tolerated in cancer participants. This study will also help to look at how AV 380 behaves inside the human body (called pharmacokinetics), how the body responds to AV 380 (called pharmacodynamics), and how the immune system responds to AV 380 (called immunogenicity) when administered along with the standard anticancer treatment that a participant would usually receive if they were not in this study. First, the participant will have some tests to decide if it is safe for to join the study. These tests include blood and urine sampling, electrocardiogram, vital sign measurement, physical examination, cachexia assessment,which checks changes in proteins that affect appetite and computed tomography (CT) scan. If the study doctor thinks a participant is eligible to join, they will be assigned to one of 5 cohorts (a group of people with shared characteristics) (corresponding to 5 dose levels of AV 380) in which then they will receive AV 380 together with the Standard of Care treatment chemotherapy. Participants will need to visit the study site approximately every 1 week for the first 8 weeks and then every 2 weeks. In addition to the above-mentioned tests, then they will be also asked to have exercise tests and complete questionnaires during the study. Participants will also have post study treatment follow up visits 3 times after completion or discontinuation of AV 380. The total duration of the study is up to 7 months (including follow-up visits). Some reasonably foreseeable risks or discomforts with this study include chills, headache, and elevations in an enzyme called creatine phosphokinase which is found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. There is no direct benefit with participating in this study, but the information we get from this study will us improve treatment for people in the future.

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

The study uses a monitoring system to measure pressures inside the heart and lungs in a non-invasive way. This monitoring system consists of a handheld electronic device, similar to a smartphone, which will be placed on the chest and a smartwatch to wear on the wrist. Ultimately, the monitoring system will be intended to be used by doctors as a tool to support them when assessing patients with symptoms that may be due to a condition of their heart and/or lungs.

The purpose of this study is to collect data from eight sensors built in the study device (the smartphone and the watch). The data collected from the device, as well as the data collected during your Right Heart Catheterization, will be uploaded in a database. Once all subjects have been enrolled in the study, these data are then used to build the software which will be used in the final monitoring system. The device used in this study is not approved for commercial use and can only be used in clinical investigations.

Summary

Patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) (>5.5cm) are recommended to have surgery, but there is no therapy for small AAA (3-5cm). The purpose of this study is to collect ultrasound images and blood from patients with normal abdominal aorta as well as from patients with small AAA. Study participants include patients scheduled for an aortc ultrasound aorta and may fall into one of these categories. By analyzing the aortic wall ultrasound images and the blood levels of particular proteins, we hope to identify a target for drug therapy to stop AAA growth. Voluntary participation in this study does not change the original intent of the ultrasound and does not change patient treatment. The pictures gathered here are in addition to the standard ultrasound and cause no additional risk. Participation would include the standard aorta ultrasound, specific extra pictures (less than 5 minutes to collect), and collection of a blood sample. If a participant's aorta is within normal limits, no additional ultrasound visits or study visits will be indicated. If the participant has a small AAA, standard of care would be to return once per year for repeat ultrasound. Ongoing participation in the study will be to have the extra ultrasound images captured and repeat blood sampling, for a total of 3 years.
