Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study is being done to compare overall survival (OS) between patients receiving standard systemic therapy (ST) right away versus delaying systemic therapy and instead starting with irradiation (SAbR) to all metastatic sites and reserving systemic therapy when/if the patient progresses. Also, compare the average AE score between SAbR+ST arm and ST only arm. The study drugs being used as ST are standard of care. Patients will expect to remain in the study for up to 24 months.

TRiCares Topaz Transfemoral TRICUspid Heart Valve REplacement System Early Feasibility Study (TRICURE EFS)

Keywords

Summary

You are invited to volunteer in this clinical research study because you have been diagnosed with tricuspid valve regurgitation.

The type of research study you are being asked to join is called an Early Feasibility Study. This means the device and procedure you are receiving (the treatment) have not been previously studied in humans, and that you will be among the first patients in the world to undergo this treatment. The Device you are receiving is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and its safety and effectiveness are unknown.

Participants will undergo right heart catheterizations, computed tomography (CT) scans without iodinated contrast, multiple ultrasounds of the heart, labs, and other assessments. The length of subject participation in the study is 5 years and includes 11 research visits. You will have a screening right heart catheterization (RHC) to check the pressures and function of your heart. The research procedure and placement of the TRIcares Topaz Transfemoral Tricuspid heart Valve (Topaz Tricuspid Valve) will be placed in a hybrid operating room. This procedure is done by entering a vein in your groin known as the femoral vein. The purpose of this device is to eliminate the regurgitation or leaking in the tricuspid valve of the heart to help reduce the symptoms caused by this leaky valve.

The most common risks associated with the research procedure are those related to the right heart catheterization (RHC) and Topaz Tricuspid valve procedure. Major risks include bleeding and damage to the heart or surrounding blood vessels. There are no known benefits of the research device. There may be possible benefits from the research procedure including improvement in quality of life or a decrease in the symptoms caused by tricuspid regurgitation. The information that we obtain from your participation in this study will help us learn more about how safe and effective this approach is in treating the symptoms of individuals similar to yourself.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Researcher
Gary Headden

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular
Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect blood specimens and determine the levels of natriuretic peptides in the blood in patients that are presenting with a suspicion of new onset or worsening symptoms of heart failure. Blood specimens collected during this study will be used to support expanded development of a blood test that can help physicians diagnose heart failure.

The blood test (Access BNP Assay) being developed will measure natriuretic peptides that are released into the blood when the heart muscle is stretched and working too hard. This information is being used to develop a better blood test(s).

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Amyloid Depleter ALXN2220 in Adult Participants with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

PRO Number
Pro00138400
Researcher
Jan Griffin

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

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.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma following surgery in order to determine if any of these study treatments improve overall survival as compared to standard treatments. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BNT321 in combination with mFOLFIRINOX. BNT321 is not FDA approved. mFOLFIRINOX is FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat various cancers but may not be approved for your type of cancer. Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include blood and urine samples, questionnaires, infusions, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, fever, and joint pain. 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.
