The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effective use of Stryker's PEEK Customized Implants in patients receiving craniofacial (head and facial) surgery. Other objectives include using a CT scan to assist surgeons with providing a solution to complex and simple reconstruction challenges and reducing them to a single or two-stage procedure, thereby minimizing the overall surgery time and limiting the number of surgeries. Patient questionnaires and health information will be used during the study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the implants. We will be enrolling ages 4 - 75 years old.
This is a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, nonrandomized observational study to obtain research quality data across key outcome measures in people with Cystic Fibrosis who are ineligible and/or not taking a approved CFTR modulator and who are not receiving an investigational therapy.
Participants will be seen at study sites for research visits to include spirometry, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and blood collections on Day 0, Day 90 (3 months), Day 180 (6 months), and Day 360 (12 months). Participants will complete home spirometry as well during this period.
This is a research study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Niyad (nafamostat mesylate) as a blood thinner used during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). CRRT is a standard treatment much like dialysis that is used to temporarily take the place of kidney function when one's kidneys are injured. Like your kidneys, CRRT helps to clean your blood and remove waste products.
Niyad is experimental which means that it is being tested and is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There is no guarantee that you will receive direct benefit as a result of your participation in this study. Possible benefits of Niyad include preventing your blood from clotting the dialysis filter so that the CRRT machine works more effectively and it also may reduce your need for a transfusion. The study results may help people in the future.
Participation voluntary and is expected to last up to 28 days. The length of time you may be exposed to Niyad is up to 7 days and safety assessments may last up to 28 days.
There will be no additional cost to you for procedures required in this research study. All routine clinical care that you would have undergone without participation in the study, including testing and procedures, will be billed to you/your insurance company. All study-related tests and procedures will be paid for by the Sponsor.
Some insurance plans will not pay for these services for people taking part in research studies. You will be responsible for any charges that your insurance does not cover including co-payments and deductibles.
While cigarette smoking is detrimental to health and a known risk factor for cancer, e-cigarettes are thought to be less harmful but not entirely risk-free, and less is known about e-cigarette use and changes to health. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate changes in health that may occur when people stop using e-cigarettes. Participants who use e-cigarettes (and who never smoked, smoked in the past, or currently smoke) will be recruited to participate in a laboratory session followed by a week of abstaining from any nicotine use. Throughout the study, participants will provide biological samples for analysis of DNA damage, immune functioning, inflammation, and respiratory functioning at the MUSC Charleston campus. Results will provide insight into the health benefits of quitting vaping.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of AP01 versus placebo on top of standard of care in subjects with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF) over 52 weeks. Subjects will participate in the study for up to 58 weeks, inclusive of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, a 52-week Treatment Period, and a 2-week Follow-up Period that includes a Follow-up telephone call (TC) 2 weeks post final dose. Up to 300 eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1:2 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment arms: AP01 100 mg twice daily (BID), AP01 50 mg BID, or placebo BID (8 mL; two 4 mL blow-fill-seal [BFS] ampoules BID).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma that has progressed (become worse) after at least 2 prior treatments.
The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug MK2870-015. This is a phase 3 study; MK2870-015 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, MUGA scans and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, weight loss, high blood sugar, and sore throat. 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.
This study is a registry for patients who have sickle cell disease (SCD), including pregnant women. A registry is a database of patient health and demographic information that is used to understand how a disease affects different people based on, for example, their other medical conditions, their age, or their treatment regimen.
This study is being done to collect information about how SCD affects you and to try to understand what characteristics of your disease may predict whether you have complications from your disease in the future.
This is a is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and clinical activity of SNDX-5613 in combination with intensive chemotherapy in participants with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemias harboring alterations in KMT2A, NPM1, or NUP98 genes. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of SNDX-5613 (Revumenib) to be used in both a combination with intensive chemotherapy and alone. SNDX-5613 (Revumenib) is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment. The study will enroll approximately 76 patients in 3 phases with each receiving cycles of chemotherapy followed by SNDX-5613 in the Induction and Consolidation phases followed by SNDX-5613 alone in the Maintenance Monotherapy phase if eligible. The study includes screening, treatment, safety follow-up, and survival follow-up periods over the course of 18 months. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit in participating in this study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and the Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rate in participants who receive a 14-day course of VE303 or matching placebo.
Other objective is to measure health-related quality of life and daily CDI symptoms in participants treated with VE303 versus placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of acoramidis (AG-10) and determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant that can cause ATTR-CM. The sponsor (Eidos) is conducting a research study to see if the study medicine will help in slowing the development and/or progression of a rare disease called Symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). AG-10 is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one and is considered experimental. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. AG-10 has been shown to reduce the level of TTR in the blood of animals and healthy volunteers tested to date. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.
If you meet the requirements and agree to participate in this study, you will go through a 2 part screening period and if approved you will begin treatment. You will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to drug or placebo and take two pills once every day for 60 months.
Your participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of clinic visits and follow up visits at home via the telephone. Some tests requires of you will include an echo, ECG, cardioradionuclide scans (scans that use radioactive agents to look at images of the heart like a PET scan), MRIs, blood tests, nerve conduction test, urine samples, and skin biopsies.
