Summary

This is a Phase 2 platform research study that is assessing three different investigational medications (versus placebo) for hospitalized adults who have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). As a platform study, each of the three treatment groups will receive a different investigational drug (or placebo) depending on the severity of their ARDS. Participants will also receive standard treatment as determined by the treating physician.

Keywords

Summary

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.

Telerehabilitation in the home after stroke: A randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial

Date Added

Researcher

List of Studies

Keywords
Stroke, Stroke Recovery
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to demonstrate that telerehabilitation targeting arm movement, when added to usual care, can improve arm function and reduce global disability after stroke, compared to usual care alone.

Telerehabilitation uses technology like video calls to provide therapy and medical support from a distance. This means patients can get care from their therapists without going to a clinic or hospital, making it easier for people, especially those with mobility issues or who live far away, to receive treatment

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to the usual treatment plus dose escalated radiation. This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include CT or MRI scans, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Risks include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, muscle aches, and weight loss. You 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.

BabySTrong (Stimulating the Tragus for Neural Growth): A Randomized Controlled Trial of taVNS-Paired Bottle Feeding to Improve Oral Feeding

Researcher

Keywords
Infant, Nerve
Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

A PHASE 3, EXTERNAL AND SYNTHETIC PLACEBO‑CONTROLLED RANDOMIZED STUDY WITH DOSE-UP FOR NON-RESPONDERS TO INVESTIGATE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF RITLECITINIB 50 MG AND 100 MG ONCE DAILY IN ADULT AND ADOLESCENT PARTICIPANTS 12 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER WITH ALOPECIA AREATA

Summary

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.
