The goal is to evaluate how well etrasimod helps reduce symptoms by week 12 of treatment. This involves determining whether patients experience enough improvement to be considered in remission. The focus is on how the medication performs in everyday, real-world conditions.
The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the ASG device in the treatment of de novo Type A aortic dissections.
The purpose of this study is evaluate safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug in adults diagnosed with chronic urticaria (hives). The investigational drug is known as BLU-808 and will be taken daily orally. Participation in the study is expected to be approximately 18 weeks.
This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.
This study is for adult patients with large brain metastases. The purpose of this study is to compare two different radiation therapy dose treatments: staged stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT). Both treatment options are currently used as standard of care. Participation in this study will include standard of care visits along with questionnaires completed for research purposes.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment that can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the effectiveness of this treatment varies among patients, and physicians currently have no way to predict who will benefit the most. This study will investigate whether the types of bacteria in a person's gut can help predict their response to DBS. By analyzing patient samples, we aim to identify biomarkers that could help doctors better select candidates for this procedure, ultimately leading to more successful treatment outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's disease.
This study is a non-interventional, multicenter investigation of patient outcomes, combining a retrospective medical chart review with prospective patient questionnaires. It focuses on patients receiving ritlecitinib, baricitinib, or standard of care (SOC) treatment for alopecia areata (AA). Prospective data will be collected over 12 months following the start of treatment. The study aims to enroll 300 adults (aged 18 and older) and 100 adolescents/minors (aged 12-17) from 20-25 sites across the USA. Among the adult participants, 100 will receive ritlecitinib, 100 baricitinib, and 100 SOC. The adolescent/minor group will include 50 receiving ritlecitinib and 50 SOC.
This will be a study in the home care setting to further validate the concept of Simeox 200 in a cohort of patients with bronchiectasis and overproduction of mucous as an alternative to other methods of ACT(airway clearance techniques). Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease where airways become permanently damaged, widened, and lose their ability to clear mucus, leading to a buildup of bacteria, recurrent infections, and symptoms like a daily cough, thick, discolored phlegm, shortness of breath, and fatigue. The device is a 510(k) FDA cleared device that works using by air and vibration to help clear mucous from the lungs. There are 4 visits and an at home usage period. The study will be running approximately a year or until the cohort is filled. The data from this study will be used to power a future randomized controlled pivotal clinical study comparing Simeox 200 against other ACTs such as High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO).
This study is for male subjects that have been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer (that has spread to other parts of the body) and progressed following standard hormonal/radiation therapy and surgery. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 48months or longer. There will be a total of 10 subjects locally enrolled.
In this study, we are testing whether a higher dose of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can be safely used in people with depression. Participants will come to the Brain Stimulation Lab and receive mild electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on their scalp.
The study begins with a safety run-in, where the first few participants will receive stimulation at gradually increasing levels (2, 4, and 6 milliamps) while being closely monitored. If no serious side effects are found, later participants will receive repeated 6 milliamp sessions for 5 days total. We will check skin comfort, mood, and overall tolerability after each session.
