This is an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical research trial (referred to also as a trial or a research trial) sponsored by AtriCure, Inc (the Sponsor) to learn whether the use of the AtriClip® LAA Exclusion System to close off your left atrial appendage (LAA) during your heart surgery will reduce the risk of stroke. The AtriClip has not been well studied or approved by the FDA for stroke prevention; therefore, this procedure is considered investigational.
Currently rTMS for treating depression is delivered without knowing whether the TMS pulses are synchronized with the patient's brain rhythms. We will study healthy and depressed adults with TMS inside of the MRI scanner or outside of the MRI scanner using optics, and test whether it matters precisely timing the TMS pulses with EEG.
This research study is being conducted to gather information about patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to better understand their knowledge and preferences about self-help resources and learn how to help patients better manage their disease. Participation in this study will involve signing a research consent form, completing questionnaires, and the opportunity to participate in self-help resources. Some participants may be offered the opportunity to participate in a virtual focus group, as well. Participation in the study will last approximately 3 months.
This study is being done to understand whether a different type of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring that permits longer monitoring is able to capture more seizures than regular EEG monitoring, and whether this new type of monitoring will improve clinical care. This type of EEG monitoring (REMI) is currently cleared by the United States Government Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) for use in hospitals but not yet cleared to be used at home.
Eligible subjects who have EEG monitoring scheduled with either a 3-day EEG monitoring performed at home or with a 3-day EEG monitoring schedule at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Subjects are in the study for approximately 4 weeks and will need to come to the study center for one or two visits. They will be asked to wear 4 of Epitel's REMI Sensors on their head, in addition to the regular EEG electrodes, for two 2-week REMI EEG monitoring periods. A 2nd visit (clinic visit) at MUSC may be needed if the recording is at MUSC, in order to start the second REMI EEG monitoring session.
At the end of the study, three independent epileptologists will review the REMI EEG recordings and compile a report of any findings. They will then provide this report to the subject's neurologist who will assess the value of the additional EEG information, and save the report within the MUSC medical record.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses (SAD) of VX-52 in patients with Cystic Fibrosis and the CFTR genotype who have not been responsive to CFTR modulator therapy. This is a first in human study.
Anxiety related to movement has been found related to pain, disability and activity avoidance in persistent low back pain. Therefore, it significantly impact on the person's performance of daily activities. The current method of measuring anxiety related to movement in low back pain has been by using questions. However, the questions do not address anxiety related to specific movement and activities. Therefore, it is important to determine whether we can obtain the physiological change in anxiety (heart rate, skin response, and respiratory rate) by using some novel protocol where the participants will be imagining pictures of daily activities tasks. We will simultaneously measure their physiological anxiety-related responses which are temporary in nature and they usually perceive during their daily activities. Furthermore, we will provide initial idea on does the full questionnaires or items in the questionnaires are measuring anxiety related to movement or not, which can be considered in future large studies.
This is a randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction and maintenance JNJ-78934804 therapy in participants with moderately to severely active CD who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to ≥1 approved ADT (advanced therapy inadequate responder [ADT-IR]). This
dose-ranging study includes participants 18 to 65 years of age (inclusive, at the time of consent) with moderately or severely active CD (defined by a CDAI score ≥220 and ≤450) and either a mean daily abdominal pain (AP) score ≥2 (based on the unweighted CDAI component of AP) or a mean daily stool frequency (SF) count ≥4 (based on the unweighted CDAI component of the number of liquid or very soft stools), of at least 3 months duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis previously confirmed in the past by radiology, histology and/or endoscopy. Participants must also have endoscopic evidence of active ileal
and/or colonic CD on the screening video ileocolonoscopy. Overall, the study will evaluate 48 weeks of therapy with JNJ-78934804
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with cancer in their arm, leg, or trunk (the part of the body that involves the chest, abdomen, and pelvis). The purpose of this research study is to preserve healthy tissue around the cancer on the arm(s) and/or leg(s) using Hypofractionated Radiotherapy, while treating the cancer and preventing it from spreading to other areas of the body. Participation in the study will take about 15 visits over a period of 15 months.
This is a prospective, multicenter observational study to investigate clinical markers of nutritional status, physical frailty, and sarcopenia in adults with CF spanning a range of lung impairment and to identify barriers and risk factors to optimize nutrition and physical functioning in this patient population. Repeat measurements of body composition and physical function by various methods will be taken during the study and compared to clinical outcomes, as well as with each other. Smaller sub-set studies will be performed to assess bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and/or ultrasound as measures of body composition. Two cohorts matched by age, sex, race, and CFTR genotype severity will be enrolled: (1) those with FEV1 <60% and (2) those with FEV1 ≥60%.
This Phase 3 study is designed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab in participants 6 months to <18 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD. Participants who have completed Study KGBI through Week 16 without requiring the use of systemic rescue medication will be eligible to enroll into Study KGBJ. All participants will receive active lebrikizumab treatment during Study KGBJ. The planned duration of treatment for each participant is approximately 52 weeks. All participants will enter a post-treatment safety follow-up period approximately 12 weeks after the last dose of lebrikizumab. This study will include both on-site (in clinic) and remote visits (telephone calls).
