The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a new device called the KOKO device. This device will be used on women who have postpartum hemorrhage after they deliver their baby.
The Propel study is for adults up to 75 years of age with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) and looks at the efficacy of IMVT-1402 which is a once weekly subcutaneous investigational drug. The study contains a screening period, two blinded treatment periods, and a follow-up period. Treatment period one is 12 weeks, and participants will be randomized to 600 mg IMVT-1402, 300 mg IMVT-1402, or placebo during this time. Treatment period two is 14 weeks, and all participants will receive either 600 mg IMVT-1402 or 300 mg IMVT-1402 during this time. Total participation in the study will be about 35 weeks. Various medications used as standard of care for gMG will be allowed in this study, so participation does not necessarily require stopping current gMG treatment.
Preterm and term infants with brain injury frequently have difficulty learning to feed by mouth. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may be paired with the motor activity of feeding to boost brain circuits involved with feeding. This study will test a taVNS-paired bottle system in a blinded, randomized, controlled trial in infants who have reached term age and failed to learn to feed. Our preliminary data indicates that most infants improve their volume of oral feeds with the BabySTrong system, and 50-70% achieve full oral feeds and avoid placement of a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) or home nasogastric tube. The BabySTrong feeding system may improve oral feeding volumes and help infants and their families avoid a long hospital stay while trying to learn to feed.
We are conducting this study to determine whether using a TENS (nerve stimulation) unit is effective at reducing pain in women having an IUD inserted.
Children with amblyopia (lazy eye) are often treated with patch therapy. Patch therapy often results in leftover amblyopia and has many challenges associated with its use. This study will determine how traditional patch therapy results compare to those achieved with the Luminopia digital therapeutic system.
This study is a database evaluating data in patients with chronic pancreatitis that are seen and evaluated in a surgery clinic and ultimately under surgery for chronic pancreatitis with total pancreatectomy with islet cell transplant. Patients will receive the standard of care for this operation. This is not a clinical trial, and no changes will be made to their care. Data will be collected to review outcomes only. They may be asked to fill out study related questionnaires or surveys.
This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study aims to evaluate the efficacy of anifrolumab subcutaneous (SC) injection compared to a placebo in reducing overall disease activity in participants with moderate to severe idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), specifically polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM), while they receive standard care treatment.
This research study aims to evaluate how effective and safe the 100 mg daily dose of ritlecitinib is for participants. By including the already approved 50 mg daily dose as a reference point, the study seeks to draw direct comparisons between these two dosages. This comparison will help determine if increasing the dosage offers additional benefits or poses any new risks. Participants in this study will be closely monitored to assess both their response to treatment and any potential side effects that may arise. The findings from this investigation are expected to provide valuable insights into optimizing ritlecitinib dosing regimens for better therapeutic outcomes.

The goal of this research study is to explore and evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 8-week, nurse-led Palliative Care program (SUPPORT-T) delivered over the internet to help educate and support individuals with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PFF) and their caregivers. In this study, we will enroll 80 PFF patients and 80 careparnters (total N=160 participants) who will then either receive the online SUPPORT-T program or enhanced usual care (educational handouts). At the end of the study, 15 PFF patients and caregivers who received SUPPORT-T and 5 community partners will take part in one-on-one interviews with the researchers to provide their feedback on the program; so as to improve it for a larger study. This study is being conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina in South Carolina and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
