This is a prospective, observational research study for patients with IBD under the care of a gastroenterologist provider. The objective of the Corrona Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Registry is to create a national cohort of patients with IBD.The diseases under study include Crohn's Disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Indeterminate Colitis (IC). Data collected will be used to better characterize the natural history of the disease and to extensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications approved for the treatment of IBD .Approximately 10,000 patients and 150 clinical sites in North America will be recruited to participate with no defined upper limit for either target. The Corrona IBD Registry is a long-term observational study; therefore, the duration of the registry has no pre-determined stop date.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to compare two usual treatment approaches to head and neck cancer: high-dose cisplatin given every 3 weeks with radiation to low-dose cisplatin given weekly with radiation. The usual approach for patients who are not in this study is treatment with radiation therapy combined with the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. Cisplatin is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat your head and neck cancer. Cisplatin can be given at different doses and at different times during radiation, but the most common way to give cisplatin is either as a high-dose every 3 weeks or a low-dose weekly during radiation. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 7 weeks and then followed annually until disease progression.
The purpose of this study is to identify domains in which stroke suvivors may have struggled since experiencing a stroke. These include things like emotional, family and work function. This study entails an interview and questionnaires that ask about functioning in these areas.
The longer-term goal of this work is to identify areas these areas so that we can develop a psychotherapy that could be helpful for individuals recovering from and living with the aftermath of stroke.
The purpose of this research is to compare the risks and benefits of two different procedures used to help patients with mitral valve regurgitation (also known as MR). MR is a condition where the valve does not close fully when it is supposed to, and some blood can then leak back into the left atrium instead of circulating to the rest of the body. The treatment options this study will compare are: (1) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (abbreviated as TEER; which is a catheter procedure for repairing the mitral valve that doesn't require surgery to open up the heart) and (2) mitral valve repair surgery, which is an open-heart surgical procedure. There are no new or "experimental" procedures being tested in this study: both treatment options are well-established treatments and are regularly performed in patients who have MR.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 adaptive study involves an initial investigational blood test to determine if you have a specific variation related to kidney disease. The investigational blood test is to see if you have changes in your DNA of a gene called APOL1. People who have this gene variation may be at risk of losing their kidney function faster than others. If you have the variants (changes in DNA) you may be eligible to continue participation in the study. If you do not have the variants, you will not be eligible, and the study doctor will discuss your other options with you. If you decide to participate, there will be no cost to you and you will be compensated. This study will start by comparing two doses of VX-147 against placebo in subjects with APOL1-mediated kidney disease for 12 weeks. Subjects in Phase 2 will continue to Phase 3 once a dose for Phase 3 is selected. Then the Phase 3 dose of VX-147 will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. If you meet the requirements and choose to take part in the study, you will be randomly assigned to a treatment group. You will not know which study treatment group you are assigned to and it is possible that you will receive placebo instead of VX-147. The study includes a screening, treatment, and follow-up period. The study will end after the last patient enrolled has completed 2 years in the study. This means some patients enrolling earlier could be in the study for up to 4 years.
This research study aims to learn more about children and adolescents who have a shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection. E. coli is a type of bacteria found in the intestines. Although most types of E. coli are harmless, some produce toxins that can make children sick. This study will assess what type of treatment is best for this infection.
This registry is an observational study designed to evaluate the effect of Oxbryta in individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in a real-world setting.
Participants who are currently taking or have been prescribed and initiating standard of care treatment with Oxbryta are eligible to participate. This registry will collect data that is recorded in participants' medical records and other off site sources. Study data will be collected a regular intervals and entered in case reports (CRFs) by electronic capture system (EDC) by the study staff. Participants will be on the study for 5 years after their first dose of Oxbryta treatment or until they choose to withdraw from the study. Participants who stop Oxbryta treatment prior to the 5 years will continue to be monitored at regular intervals unless they request to withdraw from study. Participants quality of life (QoL) questionnaires will be collected throughout the 5 years of the study.
Participants safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study data collection period by the study doctor and reported to the Sponsor.
Both withdrawal symptoms and external stressors can contribute to relapse in people that are trying to quit using marijuana. These negative feelings may be more severe in people that also have Major Depressive Disorder, making it especially hard for them to quit. The purpose of this study is to examine differences in withdrawal symptoms and stress response in people with Cannabis Use Disorder that do or do not also have major depression. Study participation will involve 3 on-site laboratory visits over 6 days. Participants will be asked to not use marijuana for 3 of those days. Participants will complete mobile phone surveys multiple times each day, wear a watch to assess sleep quality, and provide blood samples for testing at each laboratory visit. At the final laboratory visit, participants will complete a stress task.
This study is testing cannabidiol (CBD) as a possible medication to treat alcohol use disorder. Youth (ages 16-22) will receive one dose of CBD (600mg) or placebo (i.e., sugar water) before two different MRI sessions (separated by 2 weeks) to see how CBD affects the brain. The full study will last approximately one month.
Participants must provide informed consent and youth under 18 must have parental consent to participate.
Compensation is available to those who qualify.
The purpose of this study is to see if taking depemokimab is safe and effective in treating Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) in adults (≥18 years) with uncontrolled HES receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy. The study will last approximately 52 weeks and is a placebo-controlled, double blind, multicentre study.
