Glaucoma is the leading cause of permanent blindness in the world, often due to the intraocular pressure in your eye (IOP) becoming too high. Cataracts are the cloudy lenses inside your eye that are common after age 40 and often require surgery to replace the cloudy lens with an intraocular implant (IOL). This study will evaluate the safety and IOP-lowering effectiveness of the DF12 Canaloplasty and Trabeculotomy Surgical System. This device combines two glaucoma surgical procedures (Canaloplasty and Trabeculotomy) in patients that are having their cataracts removed. The endpoint for this study is the reduction in IOP without the use of topical (often eye drops) or oral glaucoma medications at 12 months.
This study aims to learn how adolescents and young adults who received a liver transplant as children think about their transplant and prepare to manage their healthcare as they get older. Participants will complete questionnaires and may take part in an interview about their experiences, feelings, and healthcare responsibilities. The study will explore how young people view their transplant, how it fits into their sense of self, and how these factors relate to their readiness for adult healthcare. Information from this study will help researchers better understand the needs of young liver transplant recipients and guide the development of future support programs.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa for participants with known or suspected MASH with fibrosis consistent with stage F2 or F3.
This study is for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive cisplatin. The purpose of this study is to compare treating head and neck cancer with radiation plus cetuximab versus radiation plus chemotherapy (carboplain and paclitaxel). Carboplatin, paclitaxel, and cetuximab are approved by the FDA to treat head and neck cancer.
If you agree to take part, we expect that your participation in this study may last up to 3 years. This includes visits to the clinic after you finish all study treatments. These follow-up visits will take place about every 2 months during the 1st year and about every 4 months thereafter.
Risks may include nausea, vomiting, headache, feeling tired, loss of appetite, and hair loss. Participants may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
People with certain types of lung conditions that cause scarring—such as those linked to autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, or unknown causes—will take part in this study. They'll be followed closely for two years, with regular check-ins and sample collections. During these visits, the doctor will gather health information and take blood samples to help understand how these conditions progress. After the two-year period, participants can choose to stay in touch for future updates or follow-ups by phone or mail. The goal is to learn more about these lung diseases and improve how they're diagnosed and treated over time.
This study is investigating how efimosfermin, compared to a placebo, might improve liver fibrosis in patients with biopsy-proven stage F2- or F3 Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), also known as "fatty liver disease".
This study is for patients diagnosed with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphomas. These include:
Peripheral T‑cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS)
Follicular helper T‑cell lymphoma (TFH lymphoma)
Systemic anaplastic large‑cell lymphoma (sALCL)
The study is testing a drug called Soquelitinib. This drug is investigational, which means it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The purpose of the study is to see how well soquelitinib works compared with standard treatment chosen by a physician. Standard treatment may include:
Belinostat (BELEODAQ®)
Pralatrexate (FOLOTYN®)
The study may last up to 6 years. Study treatment may last up to 2 years (104 weeks). Study visits will happen based on the treatment schedule for the assigned study drug.About 180 people will be screened for the study. About 150 participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment group.Soquelitinib works by blocking an enzyme called ITK. ITK is part of a signaling pathway that helps certain cancer cells grow. Blocking ITK may slow or stop the growth of cancer T cells.
Soquelitinib has not been approved for use in humans and is considered experimental. It is not known if the drug will work for this cancer. The possible side effects are also not fully known. About 70 patients have received soquelitinib in another clinical trial. In those patients, the drug was generally tolerated.In this study, treatment with soquelitinib will be compared with standard treatments used for this type of cancer.Belinostat is approved in the United States for adults with relapsed or refractory PTCL.Pralatrexate is approved in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Korea, for patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL.
Participants will be placed into treatment groups by randomization. Randomization means assignment to a group by chance, similar to flipping a coin. Each participant has an equal chance of receiving any of the study treatments.
This study aims to improve our understanding of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator(CFTR)-related metabolic syndrome(CRMS), a term used for some infants whose newborn screening results suggest they may be at risk for cystic fibrosis but who do not currently meet the criteria for a cystic fibrosis diagnosis. CFTR stands for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and refers to a gene that provides instructions for making a protein that helps control the movement of salt and water in and out of cells. Changes in this gene can increase a person's risk of developing cystic fibrosis or related health concerns.
The study has two goals. First, we will review existing medical records to better understand the health conditions, symptoms, and long-term health of children with CRMS and adults with cystic fibrosis diagnosed later in life who receive care at the Medical University of South Carolina pulmonary clinic. Second, we will survey parents of children with CRMS to better understand how receiving a CRMS designation affects families emotionally and in their daily lives.
The ATHNdataset Registry is the largest blood disorders real-world data set in the United States and is used to answer important clinical and scientific questions about the specific causes, prevention, treatment, and the social and economic impact of blood disorders.
The registry will involve collecting health information from the medical records, bleeding and treatment records of participants, and completion of questionnaires. This information will be part of the ATHNdataset registry which will be used to answer scientific, public health, and policy questions about better ways to treat blood disorders.
This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness and safety of frexalimab, a medication given as an injection under the skin every 4 weeks, with tacrolimus, a commonly used anti-rejection medication taken by mouth. The study will include adults ages 18 to 70 who are receiving their first kidney transplant and have a low to moderate risk of rejecting the transplanted kidney. Participants who qualify may take part in the study for up to 5 years.
