Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand how practicing a new skill builds a stable memory and how this memory is maintained over time as one gets older. A better understanding how memories are controlled in healthy aging may help to develop better treatments for memory problems.
The study's main question is how the different brain regions communicate with each other when one is retrieving memories of a well-practiced skill. Specifically, when and where the brain waves that are related to skill memory are produced. The brief changes in the brain will be recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a medical technology that looks at blood flow in the brain. To assess electrical changes in the brain, the brain waves, electroencephalography (EEG) will be used. Combining EEG and fMRI will allow the precise detection of the exact location where the brain is active at any moment in time.
This study is conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The study will take about one to two weeks and involves two visits to MUSC including an interview and combined brain recording and brain scan during task practice (EEG-fMRI) and up to 7 days of online skill practice at home. Volunteers in this research study must be free of any brain disease or brain injuries and have to be in good health status. Approximately 40 volunteers will take part in this study.

Summary

Subjects ages 18–75 with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) will be screened up to 42 days prior to enrollment into the clinical study. Note: If subjects are currently on a standard of care therapy, they will remain on their current standard of care therapy during the course of the clinical study at the discretion of the Investigator.
Subjects who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria after completing the Screening Visit will be enrolled in the clinical study.
Subjects will be randomized on Day 1 into the current cohort in a 2:1 ratio to receive two separate administrations of intravenous CNP-106 or Placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP) on Day 1 and Day 8. Investigational Product (IP) will be administered by IV infusion over approximately 3-4 hours using a graduated rate of infusion. Subjects will undergo medical observation in the clinic for acute AEs for 4 hours following infusion on Day 1 and Day 8.

Summary

This clinical research study is enrolling adults with diabetes, prediabetes or metabolic syndrome. The purpose of the study is to learn more about preventing cardiovascular disease. A heart CT scan will be done at screening and then 2 years later. Qualified participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants in the usual care group, will continue to receive care from usual health care provider. In the personalized care group, participants will receive additional health care from a remote cardiologist led team which will individualize treatment based on Cleerly CAD staging results of the heart CT scan. Study is expected to last 3 1/2 years on average but could be 2 - 5 years. Participation is free.

Summary

Stroke survivors routinely report disabling emotional health challenges and inability to find emotional wellness support. This project will increase emotional support within a stroke rehabilitation occupational therapy (OT) and/or speech therapy (ST) rehabilitation program. OT and/or ST provided via telerehabilitation will be enhanced with a type of emotional wellness therapy that teaches stroke survivors various strategies to better address anxiety, worry and dread.

Summary

This is a Phase III, multicenter, multinational, operationally seamless 2-stage study. The study will be conducted in 2 stages: Stage 1 and Stage 2. Participants will take part in either Stage 1 or Stage 2.Each stage has a randomized, 24-week double-blind, placebo controlled study period (Week 0 to Week 23), to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a SC treatment regimen of anifrolumab (120 mg, once weekly dosing) in adult participants with chronic and/or subacute CLE. The primary endpoint will be assessed at Week 24. The doubleblind, placebo-controlled study period of 24 weeks will be followed by an open-label, uncontrolled treatment period in which all participants will receive SC treatment with anifrolumab (120 mg, once weekly) from Week 24 to Week 51. After the open label treatment period, participants will enter a 12-week Safety Follow-up Period. The study will be performed in approximately 460 adult participants aged 18 to 70 years (inclusive). Stage 1 of the study is planned to be performed in approximately 100 participants (n ~ 50 per treatment arm). Stage 2 of the study is planned to be performed in approximately 360 participants (n ~ 180 per treatment arm).

Outcomes for VersaWrap® in Achilles Tendon Repair

Researcher
Christopher Gross

List of Studies


Keywords
Arthritis, Bone, Joint, Pain, Surgery
Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel, bioresorbable hydrogel sheet and wetting solution, VersaWrap®, in surgeries of the foot and ankle. This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled case series with patients identified by the Investigator in his practice. Patients who are scheduled to have procedures of the Achilles tendon will be reviewed to determine if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. If eligible, patients may be enrolled in the study, and the operative surgeon will use VersaWrap® during the procedure. Patients are considered enrolled when VersaWrap® is placed intraoperatively. VersaWrap® has received its FDA 510(k) clearance. Enrollment is expected to take approximately 1-2 years. All subjects will be followed for 1 year post-operatively for a total study duration of approximately 3 years. Study follow-up visits will occur at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Patients enrolled in this study are receiving a standard of care surgical procedure (with or
without VersaWrap) and therefore there is no increased risk of the surgical procedure when participating in the study. The study collects patient data, and therefore there is a risk data privacy loss. Patients will also receive remuneration for their participation.
