Summary

Youth participation in healthcare is becoming more prevalent, and outcomes are improved when youth have a voice in decisions. Little is known about how much adolescents participate in decision-making about vaccinations including "optional" vaccines or those not required for school attendance. This is a survey to evaluate the extent to which adolescents were involved in the decision to be vaccinated for 4 common vaccines: FLU (influenza), COVID (SARS-CoV-2 virus), MEN (meningococcemia), and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).

Progesterone Supplementation for the Prevention of Preeclampsia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Date Added
June 16th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00145923
Researcher
Brittany Austin

List of Studies

Keywords
Obstetrics and Gynecology
Summary

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of organ dysfunction, usually occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It can lead to serious health problems for both the pregnant person and the baby. Although some risk factors for preeclampsia are known, effective strategies to prevent the condition remain limited.

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether vaginal progesterone can help prevent preeclampsia in pregnant individuals. Progesterone is a hormone that is naturally produced during pregnancy and is already used for certain pregnancy-related conditions.

Participants who choose to join the study will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either vaginal progesterone or no medication. Participants will use the study medication as directed during pregnancy and will continue to receive their routine prenatal care.

Researchers will collect information from prenatal visits, medical records, and delivery outcomes to determine whether progesterone reduces the risk of developing preeclampsia and improves pregnancy outcomes. The information gained from this study may help identify a safe and effective way to prevent preeclampsia and improve the health of pregnant individuals and their babies in future pregnancies.

Researcher
Sheldon Litwin

List of Studies


Keywords
Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with heart failure and a preserved fraction meaning the heart is too stiff to fill properly to meet the body's needs. This study is researching an investigational device (study device) called the Alleviant ALV1 System. Investigational means it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) This study will test the safety and effectiveness of the Alleviant ALV1 System. The Alleviant ALV1 System is intended to create a shunt (an opening) in the heart to allow for proper blood flow through the heart which may improve your symptoms. No device is left in your heart it is just used to create the shunt. This is a randomized study which means subjects are assigned by chance to either have the study device create this shunt or not have the study device create the shunt. Randomization is 50/50 meaning there is a 50% chance to have the study device create a shunt and a 50% chance the study device will not be used. Using the study device to create the shunt is performed during a right heart catheterization (RHC) so all subjects will undergo the RHC but only 50% will have the shunt. Neither the subjects nor the study doctor will know which group subjects are randomized to but other study staff will know in the event this information is needed. All subjects will stay overnight in the hospital after the procedure. Other study related procedures include echocardiograms - ultrasound test of the heart, electrocardiograms (ECG) - a tracing of the heart's electrical activity, blood work, questionnaires, 6 minute hall walk test, and assessments of heart failure status. Risks include risks related to the study device including blood vessel damage from placing the device in the vein to get to the heart, risks from the right heart catheterization such as bleeding or bruising, abnormal heart beats, and risks related to study related procedures. There may be risks that are not known at this time. Participation in this study is expected to last about 60 months and include approximately 15 in person visits and 3 telephone calls.

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate a new therapy formulation for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of Alpha-1 drugs (Alpha-1 15% and Liquid Alpha1-PI) in participants with AATD. Participants will be placed into one of two groups. Each group will receive both drugs, but different doses of each, at different points in the treatment period (8 Weekly IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI 60 mg/kg followed by 8 Weekly SC (subcutaneous) infusions Alpha1-PI 90 mg/kg OR 8 Weekly IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI 120 mg/kg followed by 8 Weekly SC (subcutaneous) infusions Alpha1-PI 180 mg/kg).

This is an "open label" study, meaning participants and the study staff know which dose of study drug participants receive. The study will last up to 161 days (23 weeks). Many visits are able to be conducted through home health care, lessening the need to come into the clinic.

Alpha-1 15% is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The other drug in this study is Liquid Alpha1-PI (licensed as Prolastin®-C Liquid) and is an FDA approved treatment for adults with emphysema due to AATD. However, it is only approved for the recommended dose of 60 mg/kg. This study includes both the FDA approved 60mg/kg of Liquid Alpha1-PI and an experimental dose of 120 mg/kg that is not FDA approved. Alpha-1 15% is given as an injection under the skin and Liquid Alpha1-PI is given as an infusion into the veins.

Summary

Individuals with obesity and a history of heart failure (condition where heart does not effectively pump) with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (measure of the heart's pumping ability) will be eligible for participation. Study participants will have a 50:50 chance to be randomly assigned to either the treatment (NNC0487-0111) or control (placebo) group. NNC0487-011 and placebo will be delivered in an injectable pen device for a subcutaneous, once weekly injection. Placebo means there is no active study treatment) Study participation will last approximately three years and begin with a screening period to ensure correct patient selection. After the screening period, research clinic visits will occur every 4 weeks initially and then every 12 weeks. Some visits may be completed virtually through telehealth or by phone. Study procedures include but are not limited to: blood draws, questionnaires, self injection of study medication, medical history review, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (test that records the heart's electrical activity) The study's primary objective is to demonstrate that study drug vs. once weekly placebo, with standard of care, reduces the risk of a composite heart failure outcome consisting of cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit in patients with heart failure with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity.
