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.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), open label Phase 1/1b study in patients
with advanced metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard treatment.
Phase 1 will identify potential optimal biologically relevant doses
(OBRD) and the MTD of MBRC-101 at 1 or more dosing regimens.
Phase 1b will evaluate the safety and preliminary clinical activity of
MBRC-101 at potential OBRDs. Phase 1 and Phase 1b will both
characterize single and multiple-dose PK profiles and evaluate incidence
and persistence of anti-MBRC-101 Ab formation.
The purpose of this research study is to see how effective the use of copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is in imaging prostate cancer tumors for staging of men with newly diagnosed intermediate or high risk prostate cancer who are planned to have radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. Three hundred twenty-three (323) patients are planned for enrollment in this Phase 3 study, at approximately 60 sites in the U.S. and Europe. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is an investigational imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, that may make tumors from prostate cancer show up better during a nuclear medicine imaging scan. The imaging scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive drug and a special camera to create pictures of your tumor(s). Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T Injection is investigational in the United States which means that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved it.
The purpose of this study is to test IMP1734 in humans for the first time and to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and anti-tumor activity of IMP1734 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in 3 parts. Part 1 (dose escalation): Dose-escalation phase where the MTD (or MAD) will be
determined and safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of IMP1734. Part 2 (dose optimization): Further evaluation of the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of selected dose levels of IMP1734. Part 3 (dose expansion): Efficacy, safety, and PK of IMP1734 with the dose(s) selected based on accumulated data will be assessed in either patients who have not received prior therapy with a PARPi containing treatment.
This study will enroll two groups of participants. The first group are those who participated in the RADIANCE CAP study, so have already undergone the renal denervation procedure. Those participants can enroll in this post approval study which will entail yearly follow up visits or telephone calls, blood pressure monitoring and questionnaires. The second group of participants are those scheduled to undergo a procedure called renal denervation for the treatment of high blood pressure that has not responded adequately to medications and lifestyle changes. Renal denervation is a procedure which uses a catheter (thin hollow tube) placed in the renal arteries (blood vessels that go to the kidneys) to deliver ultrasound energy. This energy will heat up a small area of tissue around the renal arteries to disable nerves that are surrounding the blood vessels as a way to help reduce blood pressure. Study visits include screening, procedure, discharge, months 1, 3, 6 and 12 then yearly for up to 5 years. Study procedures for this group includes blood work and urine studies, blood pressure monitoring, questionnaires, a follow up ultrasound of your kidneys and the blood vessels around the kidneys. Study related risks include loss of confidentiality, blood draw risks and unknown risks.
This study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the experimental treatment named AB-1002. The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and feasibility of delivery of adeno-associated virus (AAV) through the coronary arteries into the heart in participants with heart failure and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. An experimental treatment is another option for care for your disease that is still being tested and is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Participation in this study is expected to last one year and include up to 18 visits. Study related procedures include the following heart related testing: study drug infusion, electrocardiograms (ECG), a test to show the heart's electrical activity, echocardiogram (Echo), a test that uses ultrasound to capture moving images of the heart, cardiopulmonary stress test, sample collection including blood, urine, tissue, nasal mucus, saliva, semen, and stool, questionnaires, physical exams, and at least an overnight stay in the hospital. You will also need to take medications to suppress your immune system.
There are risks associated with this study. Risks associated with gene therapy include an immune response that may cause inflammation in the liver, heart or other organs. It may damage your red blood cells, cause a low platelet count or cause the formation of small blood clots. There are also risks 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 may be no benefit to you but knowledge gained from this study may benefit others with heart failure and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy in the future.
This study involves an investigational drug called ALXN2220 for the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Investigational means it is not yet approved for commercial use or sale by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ALXN2220 is intended to promote the elimination of ATTR deposits leading to symptom improvement.
All participants will be randomized, meaning assigned by chance, to receive ALXN2220 or placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no active medication. In this study, participants will have a 2 out of 3 chance, like drawing straws, of receiving the study drug and 1 out of 3 chance of receiving placebo. Neither the participants nor the study team or study doctor will know if they are assigned to receive the study drug or placebo. The study drug or placebo will be administered intravenously (IV), meaning into a vein in the arm, every four weeks.
Participation in this study will include a maximum of 56 visits over a maximum of 48 months. Study procedures include collection of vital signs, study drug infusion, physical exams, 12-lead electrocardiography, blood and urine collection, echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart), questionnaires, and some optional testing.
We will follow 146 new parents of children <5 years of age at 18 participating US
adult CF centers to assess the primary outcome of ppFEV1 up to 5 years after
becoming a parent. A prospective approach will capture the immediate and longterm impact of the use of the highly effective CFTR modulator ETI by ~90% of US
adults with CF. By combining objective health measures and participant surveys,
we can comprehensively assess the psychosocial impacts of parenthood and
explore the interplay between the parenting role and physical and mental health.
We anticipate identifying modifiable factors that may ameliorate negative health
impacts of parenthood.
