The primary objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate rate of post-operative ileus or obstruction in patients with ileostomies receiving low fiber diet vs. regular diet starting post-operative day 1. The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, length of stay, rate of high stoma output or need for antidiarrheals within 90 days, nausea score, level of pain, and overall quality of life amongst the patients studied.

Phase III, multicenter, randomized study with two arms (1:1 ratio) enrolling patients with AML relapsed/refractory after 2, 3, or 4 prior induction regimens: Experimental arm: DFP-10917 14-day continuous intravenous (IV) infusion at a dose of 6 mg/m²/day followed by a 14-day resting period per 28-day cycles. Control arm: Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax Combination Regimens) or Intensive Reinduction (High and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens), depending on the patient's prior induction treatment.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 30 % of American veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Although the current therapy is effective, a percentage of patients will fail to improve and will develop chronic treatment-resistant PTSD. Patients suffering from PTSD experience intense suffering, lack of productivity and a higher risk of suicide. Unfortunately, combat PTSD has a tendency to be resistant to current treatments. The central goal of this project is to develop a new therapeutic strategy involving the placement of intracranial electrodes to treat the symptoms of PTSD. The project is based on recent evidence showing abnormal activity in a specific brain region of PTSD patients, thought to be responsible for the core symptoms of PTSD. Read Less

This study is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic (PTCS) laser incision as an ancillary therapy to traditional approaches such as balloon dilation and large drain placement for Benign Biliary Strictures (BBS). Narrowing or blockage of the bile ducts (biliary stricture) is a difficult to treat medical condition that leads to life-threatening complications. Treatment usually involves multiple procedures or surgeries spanned over months or years, and in many cases, leads to the need for a life-long tube that drains bile fluid outside of the body and into a bag. PTCS laser incision is a promising new treatment for bile duct strictures. The procedure is performed by an Interventional Radiologist who uses a tiny camera (endoscope) and a laser through a small hole in the skin to open up the blocked or narrowed duct. This allows bile to flow freely where it is supposed to go (without a tube) so that it does not backup up and cause life-threatening problems. Based on early experience from patients who have had this procedure done, it appears to be safe and effective, and may lead to needing fewer procedures over time, with the possibility of living without a tube or drain. The main goal of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of PTCS laser incision in a series of patients with benign biliary strictures who would otherwise receive standard treatment with long-term biliary tube drainage.

The UPGRADE registry will capture long-term, real-world outcomes to understand the effect of Differential Target Multiplexed (DTM®) programming in the Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) implanted population on the management of chronic pain, primarily on its use for trunk and/or limb pain. The clinical study is sponsored by Celéri Health and is funded through a financial grant from Medtronic's External Research Program. The registry study will be conducted across approximately 25 centers in the United States with up to 600 participants enrolled. Read Less

The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System. Read Less

This is a non-randomized behavioral trial that aims to investigate whether changes in inflammatory and type I IFN expression coincide with changes in methamphetamine use and viral load over the course of 12 weeks in HIV-positive people assigned male at birth with and without methamphetamine use disorder.

This study will compare the effects of AXA1125, an orally active mixture of amino acids, compared to placebo, on improving fat and inflammation (steatohepatitis) as well as fibrosis in subjects with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). as well as the safety and tolerability of AXA1125. Subjects will take one of two different doses of AXA1125 or a placebo twice daily, and a liver biopsy will be done at the beginning and end of the 48-week study. Read Less

This study will enroll participants with a non-infected, corneal persistent epithelial defect (PED) resulting from an ocular chemical and/or thermal ocular injury which is non-responsive or refractory to current standard of care for at least 14 days. It will assess the efficacy and safety of Nexagon® (lufepirsen) plus standard of care versus NEXAGON-vehicle (placebo) plus standard of care. The recovery of the corneal epithelium will be the primary outcome measure, defined as a cornea that re-epithelializes by Day 28 of treatment and remains re-epithelialized for at least a further 28 days.

This is an open-label, Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IDX-1197 and determine the MTD and RP2D in combination with XELOX or irinotecan in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Read Less

This study investigates whether 1) Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application using Super Floss can arrest and/or reverse initial interproximal caries on primary molars and 2) whether SDF applied with Super Floss is more effective in arresting or remineralizing initial interproximal lesion in comparison to SDF applied without Super Floss or fluoride varnish applied alone.
