Researcher
Venkateshwar Gottipaty

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

This research is being done to assess whether it is safe and effective to stop oral anticoagulation medications (a blood-thinning medication) during prolonged periods of normal heart rhythm in participants with infrequent episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF).

You may qualify for this study if you have a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) and are currently taking an oral anticoagulant (a blood-thinning medication). You will be randomized to one of two groups: Control Group or Study Intervention Group.

If you are randomized to the Control group, you will be asked to stay on your previously prescribed oral anticoagulant. If you are randomized to the Study Intervention group, you will be asked to take the oral anticoagulant for 30 days only if a prolonged episode of AF is detected on an AF-sensing Apple smartwatch you will be provided.

Researcher
Kathryn Gex

List of Studies

Keywords
Aging, Mental Health, Substance Use, Women's Health
Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate sex and gender differences across adulthood (18+) in reasons for using cannabis and the perceived severity of consequences associated with cannabis use. We are also interested in understanding how these reasons for cannabis use and perceived severity of consequences are related to other mental and physical health factors. Interested individuals will first complete a brief screening survey. Based on the results of this screening survey, eligible participants will immediately be invited to complete the survey remotely online via a secure web-link. Participants can expect to complete the survey in 30-45 minutes and will be reimbursed $30 via electronic gift card (e.g., Amazon).

Summary

This study is being done to learn more about apremilast (AMG 407) in mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in participants (children and adolescents) aged 6 to 17 years. It will see whether it causes any side effects. About 50 people are expected to take part in this study. The duration of the study is approximately 285 days. This includes 3 phases: 35 days of screening phase, 225 days (32 weeks) of treatment phase, and 60 days of observational follow-up phase after the last dose of study drug – this means drug is still being tested to see if it is safe and works.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Arm Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of a Single Treatment of BOTOX®, Followed by an Optional Open-Label Treatment with BOTOX®, in Female Subjects with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS)

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Bladder
Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety (what side effects the study treatment may have) and effectiveness (how well the study treatment works to relieve symptoms) of BOTOX when injected into the bladder of adult females for the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis/ Bladder Pain Syndrome. Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and debilitating urological condition characterized by symptoms of bladder pain or discomfort and accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent toilet visits, often also during bedtime. BOTOX might be able to temporarily reduce bladder pain/discomfort and improve your accompanying urinary symptoms. There will be a total of 9 study visits over a period of approximately 28 weeks which includes up to 28 days (4 weeks of screening), a treatment visit, and 24 weeks of follow-up if you receive only one treatment. If you choose to receive a second treatment (which will be BOTOX), you could have a total of up to 13 visits and be in the study for an additional 12 weeks for a total of up to 44 weeks (depending on when you request retreatment) which includes the 28 days (4 weeks of screening). If you are already
receiving treatment for IC-BPS, after you have signed the informed consent, you may have to washout of your medication prior to screening and throughout your study participation. If you have a urinary tract infection [UTI] that requires treatment, an additional 14-day extension is allowed to receive Treatment 2 for total study
participation of up to 46 weeks. You may need to attend additional unscheduled visits for safety or other reasons.

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of AV-380 in Combination with Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Metastatic Cancer Patients with Cachexia and Elevated GDF-15 Levels

Keywords
Cancer, Drug Studies
Summary

This study involves research, and participation is voluntary. The purpose of the study is to see if a single dose and multiple doses of the study drug, AV 380, are safe and tolerated in cancer participants. This study will also help to look at how AV 380 behaves inside the human body (called pharmacokinetics), how the body responds to AV 380 (called pharmacodynamics), and how the immune system responds to AV 380 (called immunogenicity) when administered along with the standard anticancer treatment that a participant would usually receive if they were not in this study. First, the participant will have some tests to decide if it is safe for to join the study. These tests include blood and urine sampling, electrocardiogram, vital sign measurement, physical examination, cachexia assessment,which checks changes in proteins that affect appetite and computed tomography (CT) scan. If the study doctor thinks a participant is eligible to join, they will be assigned to one of 5 cohorts (a group of people with shared characteristics) (corresponding to 5 dose levels of AV 380) in which then they will receive AV 380 together with the Standard of Care treatment chemotherapy. Participants will need to visit the study site approximately every 1 week for the first 8 weeks and then every 2 weeks. In addition to the above-mentioned tests, then they will be also asked to have exercise tests and complete questionnaires during the study. Participants will also have post study treatment follow up visits 3 times after completion or discontinuation of AV 380. The total duration of the study is up to 7 months (including follow-up visits). Some reasonably foreseeable risks or discomforts with this study include chills, headache, and elevations in an enzyme called creatine phosphokinase which is found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. There is no direct benefit with participating in this study, but the information we get from this study will us improve treatment for people in the future.

Summary

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study that will randomize participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis to study drug BMS-986278 60mg, 120mg, or Placebo, administered orally, twice a day. Participants are allowed to continue background therapy, such as antifibrotic and immunosuppressant therapies. This study will consist of two parts (Cohort 1 and 2). Cohort 1 will enroll approximately 60 participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BMS-986278 in which participants will be randomized to receive 60 mg, 120mg, or placebo and this will last approximately 52 weeks. Cohort 2 is a registrational, double-blinded study which will investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986278 compared with placebo. Based on data from Cohort 1, the study will design 2 or 3 treatment arms for Cohort 2.
