The objective of ILAN is to assess the safety, feasibility and bronchodilator efficacy of in-line bronchodilator nebulizer delivery with VMN via HFNC system in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients treated with bronchodilators and compare this method to standard-nebulization using a jet nebulizer with a facial mask. The investigators hypothesized that aerosol nebulization using HFNC/VMN represents safer and more convenient approach in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients in comparison to conventional therapy while providing similar bronchodilator efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ide-cel with lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance to that of LEN maintenance alone in adult participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have achieved a suboptimal response post autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

This is an open label study to determine the association of the data obtained with LuGENE®, a transcriptomic-based LDT, with standard evaluation of patients diagnosed with SLE, including clinical involvement, SLEDAI score, Physician Global Assessment (PGA) and standard laboratory measures, including ANA, anti-DNA, anti-RNP and complement components C3 and C4, as well as Patient Reported Outcomes capturing pain, fatigue and Health-Related Quality of Life. The test will be administered on one occasion to patients with a clinical diagnosis of lupus or incomplete lupus and clinical and laboratory features evaluated contemporaneously. This trial includes a pilot study of approximately 10 subjects from 2-3 sites to assess whether the delivery times of LuGENE® laboratory results do not exceed more than 7 business days. Read Less

The purpose of this initiative is to improve care and outcomes for infants with HLHS by expanding the NPC-QIC national registry to gather clinical care process, outcome, and developmental data on infants with HLHS between diagnosis and 12 months of age, by improving the use of standards into everyday practice across pediatric cardiology centers, and by engaging parents as partners in the process.

This is a prospective exploratory biodistribution study in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this research study is to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPI-46) accumulates in normal and fibrotic lung tissues of patients with interstitial lung disease. The study will include patients with interstitial lung disease who have or will initiate a new ILD medication OR will undergo tissue biopsy or surgery of the lung. The study will include 30 patients, the upper limit for PET imaging studies conducted under the Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) purview. Participants will be injected with up to 7 mCi of 68-GaFAPi and will undergo one PET/CT scan and one High Resolution CT of the lungs. The study is sponsored by Ahmanson Translational Theranostic Division at UCLA. Read Less

Rationale: Hyper-inflammatory responses seen in acute COVID-19 are also a feature of long covid, a condition of long-term consequences that are persisting or appearing after initial infection and recovery from acute COVID-19. Long-standing, often disabling symptoms are common in long covid and can be highly varied. Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, muscle and chest pain, migraines, shortness of breath, anosmia, muscle weakness, and cognitive dysfunction. 35% of post-COVID patients were found to have decreased kidney function at 6 months post-discharge. In this study, we will evaluate the effect of dietary interventions in long covid patients. The dietary interventions are aimed at lowering blood glucose levels, and raising blood BHB levels. The dietary plan will recommend a low-carbohydrate diet including the avoidance of foods containing sugars and starch, while simultaneously increasing the consumption of healthy fats and sources of protein. The dietary interventions are supported by the consumption of a medical food that delivers exogenous BHB in order to raise blood BHB levels without the necessity of adhering to a strict ketogenic diet which would be difficult to implement and typically requires strict medical supervision. Intervention: Dietary intervention with Ketocitra versus control arm (no intervention) in a 1:1 ratio Objectives: The hypothesis of this study is that low-carbohydrate dietary interventions leading to lowering of blood glucose and raising of blood BHB in addition to standard therapy will lead to faster recovery and amelioration of symptoms in long covid compared to those treated with standard therapy alone. Study population: Subjects with a history of COVID-19 at least 2 months ago and with at least 2 neurological and/or symptoms that are typical for long covid that either started at COVID-19 infection and are ongoing at time of study entry Study methodology: Prospective and interventional randomized controlled pilot study Study arms: Dietary intervention (including medical food) arm versus control arm Study endpoints: The primary endpoint is the feasibility, safety and tolerability of dietary intervention.

The aim of the study is to test the effectiveness of the Patient Decision Aid for Opioid Use Disorder (PtDA-MAT) by conducting a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial in CA H\&SS (stratified by rural vs. non-rural areas) for adults with OUD. Patient outcomes will be tracked by (1) personal assessments (baseline, 3 months, and 6 months): drug use, overdose, healthcare utilization, and (2) clinical and administrative records (over approximately 24 months): drug treatment status and retention, physical and mental health diagnoses, arrest, incarceration, controlled substance use, and mortality. Multilevel models will be applied to test the intervention effects, controlling for possible temporal trends. Read Less

Phase 1: The objective of the Phase 1 part of the clinical trial is to verify safety and tolerability (dose-limiting toxicity \[DLT\], maximum tolerated dose \[MTD\]) of a single 3.7 Giga-Becquerel (GBq) dose with the potential for one dose level de-escalation to 2.775 GBq if necessary, to determine the recommended \[177Lu\]Ludotadipep dose for use in the Phase 2a part of the trial. Phase 2a: The objective of the Phase 2a part of the trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy for repeated administration of the recommended \[177Lu\]Ludotadipep dose. The Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on the study results from the Phase 1 trial in South Korea upon consultation with the FDA. Read Less

The goal of the Phase 3a part of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal dose that will be used in the Phase 3b part of this clinical trial. The goal of the Phase 3b part is to assess the efficacy of SNP-ACTH (1-39) Gel relative to rituximab in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) at month 24. Read Less

Esophageal cancer is a deadly disease that is becoming increasingly common in the United States. Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a pre-cancerous state that can develop into esophageal cancer, but is highly treatable. Progression of BE to esophageal cancer is still common due to missed diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus recurrence following treatment. Wide-Area Trans-Epithelial Sampling (WATS-3D) is a new technology that uses brush sampling to examine larger areas of the esophagus as compared to conventional biopsies. Preliminary studies show improved detection of cancerous changes in Barrett's esophagus surveillance. The investigators hope to see if the addition of WATS-3D increases the rate of detection of recurrent BE following treatment, which is of the utmost importance since it would allow for earlier re-treatment of disease and ultimately allow for prevention of progression to esophageal cancer.
