Summary

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.

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).

List of Studies


Keywords
Hypertension/ High Blood Pressure
Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.
