Youth participation in healthcare is becoming more prevalent, and outcomes are improved when youth have a voice in decisions. Little is known about how much adolescents participate in decision-making about vaccinations including "optional" vaccines or those not required for school attendance. This is a survey to evaluate the extent to which adolescents were involved in the decision to be vaccinated for 4 common vaccines: FLU (influenza), COVID (SARS-CoV-2 virus), MEN (meningococcemia), and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).
Optic neuritis (ON) is a rare inflammatory disorder of the optic nerve that results in vision loss. It is characterized by rapid and variable vision loss, pain in, around and behind the eye, and changes in color vision. Subjects in this study will be followed for 12 months total and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either an IV infusion medication or a placebo infusion. Low Contrast Visual Acuity will be tracked at 3 months. After 3 months, participants will continue the study
through Month 12 in the safety follow-up part of the study intended to provide longer
term safety information.
This is a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled study, meaning participants may receive either the study medication, Ibuzatrelvir, or a placebo. The goal is to see whether the study medication helps participants recover faster and lowers the risk of hospitalization or severe illness. Participant safety is closely monitored.
You can change your mind and stop taking part in the study at any time and for any reason. You will not lose any benefits or care you would normally receive.

This study is for adult patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) who have high levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), a specific type of white blood cell. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a non-anthracycline-based treatment regimen to determine if this approach is effective in patients with high TIL levels. Participation will include standard of care visits along with questionnaires and blood draws completed for research purposes. Participation in this study is anticipated to last approximately 6 months with follow up over 5 years.
This study is for adult female patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) enhances the immune response against cancer cells. Participants will undergo standard procedures such as blood collection for laboratory testing, physical exams, and imaging. In addition to standard of care treatment, TILs will be collected from the tumor, grown in a lab, and infused back into the body. Participants will also take three drugs (oral cyclophosphamide, bevacizumab, and pembrolizumab) following the TIL infusion. Participation in this study is expected to last approximately one year.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a
physician-modified endograft (tubular medical device used to reinforce weakened or damaged blood vessels) for repairing serious diseases of the aorta (largest artery in the human body, responsible for blood from the heart to the rest of the body). This device is considered investigational, and this research study received an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of organ dysfunction, usually occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It can lead to serious health problems for both the pregnant person and the baby. Although some risk factors for preeclampsia are known, effective strategies to prevent the condition remain limited.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether vaginal progesterone can help prevent preeclampsia in pregnant individuals. Progesterone is a hormone that is naturally produced during pregnancy and is already used for certain pregnancy-related conditions.
Participants who choose to join the study will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either vaginal progesterone or no medication. Participants will use the study medication as directed during pregnancy and will continue to receive their routine prenatal care.
Researchers will collect information from prenatal visits, medical records, and delivery outcomes to determine whether progesterone reduces the risk of developing preeclampsia and improves pregnancy outcomes. The information gained from this study may help identify a safe and effective way to prevent preeclampsia and improve the health of pregnant individuals and their babies in future pregnancies.
Individuals with obesity and a history of heart failure (condition where heart does not effectively pump) with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (measure of the heart's pumping ability) will be eligible for participation. Study participants will have a 50:50 chance to be randomly assigned to either the treatment (NNC0487-0111) or control (placebo) group. NNC0487-011 and placebo will be delivered in an injectable pen device for a subcutaneous, once weekly injection. Placebo means there is no active study treatment) Study participation will last approximately three years and begin with a screening period to ensure correct patient selection. After the screening period, research clinic visits will occur every 4 weeks initially and then every 12 weeks. Some visits may be completed virtually through telehealth or by phone. Study procedures include but are not limited to: blood draws, questionnaires, self injection of study medication, medical history review, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (test that records the heart's electrical activity) The study's primary objective is to demonstrate that study drug vs. once weekly placebo, with standard of care, reduces the risk of a composite heart failure outcome consisting of cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit in patients with heart failure with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the drug AZD0292, including how safe it is, how long it stays in the blood, and if it may help in reducing the number of exacerbations in people with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their lungs. These patients have more frequent lung exacerbations and reduced quality of life. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacteria that can make the symptoms of bronchiectasis worse. The study drug (AZD0292) works by attaching to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, thereby reducing its effects on the lungs and improving symptoms.
This study aims not only to test AZD0292 but is also being done to better understand bronchiectasis disease and its associated health problems.
Study drug (AZD0292) or placebo, will be given to participants as an intravenous (IV) infusion. The study is double-blinded.
About 435 participants with bronchiectasis 12 years of age and older, weighing at least 35kg will take part in this study. This study will be conducted globally in approximately 25 countries.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug. There is high demand for effective interventions for cannabis use disorder, yet few specific treatments for have been developed. This study will evaluate the efficacy of varenicline for reducing marijuana use in people who use marijuana frequently.
