This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study aims to evaluate the efficacy of anifrolumab subcutaneous (SC) injection compared to a placebo in reducing overall disease activity in participants with moderate to severe idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), specifically polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM), while they receive standard care treatment.

This research study aims to evaluate how effective and safe the 100 mg daily dose of ritlecitinib is for participants. By including the already approved 50 mg daily dose as a reference point, the study seeks to draw direct comparisons between these two dosages. This comparison will help determine if increasing the dosage offers additional benefits or poses any new risks. Participants in this study will be closely monitored to assess both their response to treatment and any potential side effects that may arise. The findings from this investigation are expected to provide valuable insights into optimizing ritlecitinib dosing regimens for better therapeutic outcomes.

The goal of this research study is to explore and evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 8-week, nurse-led Palliative Care program (SUPPORT-T) delivered over the internet to help educate and support individuals with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PFF) and their caregivers. In this study, we will enroll 80 PFF patients and 80 careparnters (total N=160 participants) who will then either receive the online SUPPORT-T program or enhanced usual care (educational handouts). At the end of the study, 15 PFF patients and caregivers who received SUPPORT-T and 5 community partners will take part in one-on-one interviews with the researchers to provide their feedback on the program; so as to improve it for a larger study. This study is being conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina in South Carolina and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

This study will have a 1:1:1 randomization post the implantation of the WATCHMAN DLX Pro Device comparing three different medications used after the WATCHMAN FLX Pro Device is placed. The goal of this study is to see how safe and effective the medications are after the device is placed. The three different arms include the following: Aspirin only for 12-month study duration, reduce dose non-vitamin K antagonist (VKA) oral anticoagulant (NOAC), either commercially available apixaban (preferred) or rivaroxaban for first 3-months, followed by aspirin, or Aspirin +clopidogrel) for first 6 months followed by aspirin only.

Using surveys researchers will assess caregiver choice, caregiver quality of life (CQOL), caregiver sleep, caregiver stress, and caregiver burden (CB). Some participants answering surveys (approximately 20), will be chosen by researchers to participate in an interview to gain a deeper understanding of the perspectives of individuals who assume caregiving responsibilities without a personal sense of choice.

Solrikitug is an investigational drug, a drug that is still in development and testing, that can potentially benefit individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by the pathway that causes type 2 inflammation. Solrikitug is given as an injection in the arm. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of study medication (Solrikitug 375mg), three doses (day 1, week 4 and week 8) or placebo (inactive drug). The study is double blinded so neither the treatment team nor the participant will know what drug treatment they received. Enrollment in the study is up to 32 weeks, 4 weeks for screening and 28 weeks for treatment and follow up. Assessments conducted at the study visits include, but are not limited to, medical history and medication review, physical exams, blood tests, EKGs to look at the heart, breathing tests and questionnaires.

Cutaneous lupus is a common manifestation of childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (cSLE), affecting up to 85% of patients. Skin involvement can cause irritation, scarring, hair loss, changes in skin color and appearance, which may negatively impact quality of life and mental health. This study aims to assess the impact of cutaneous lupus on quality of life and mental health in diverse pediatric populations, with the goal of identifying disparities and improving individualized care. We will use validated surveys to assess disease burden on quality of life.

This study is for subjects who has been diagnosed with radioactive iodine refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 96 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given in the form of Tablet to subjects. The procedures include urine protein test, CT, MRI. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, High blood pressure. There is evidence that dabrafenib, trametinib and cabozantinib are effective in stabilizing and shrinking the type of cancer, we do not know which of these approaches are better at prolonging time until tumor growth. However, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC). This study is to evaluate the tumor ablative effect of the study drug (UGN-104). Subject are expected to reman in the study for a minimum of 15months or longer.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate patient outcomes following treatment with the SPRINT® Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System for chronic posterior sacroiliac joint complex (PSIJC) pain. The PNS system is a temporary nerve stimulator, which provides non-surgical treatment that reduces pain by sending electrical pulses to the nerves that carry signals to/from your spinal cord. SPRINT PNS system is currently FDA approved to treat pain after surgery, pain after trauma, and pain that is difficult to treat. The study will consist of 3 total visits for each participant, over the course of roughly 6 months.
