Recruiting
The goal of this clinical study is to test how edecesertib (formerly known as GS-5718) can be useful in treating Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) in participants with CLE. Information on what is happening in the body relating to CLE, how the body processes, is affected by and responds to the study drug, and any study drug side effects will also be collected in this study.

Percutaneous Intervention Versus Observational Trial of Arterial Ductus in Low Weight Infants
Recruiting
Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term birth. If the opening is tiny, the condition can be self-limiting. If not, medications/surgery are options for treatment. There are two ways... Read More

Impact of Immunosuppression Adjustment on COVID-19 Vaccination Response in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Recruiting
Immunocompromised individuals, such as solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk of COVID-19 associated complications and mortality. Retrospective studies so far have shown that a majority of SOT recipients did not develop appreciable anti-spike antibody response after a first, second, or even third dose of mRNA vaccine. Treatment with antimetabolites was associated with poor vaccine response. The goal of this study is 1) examine whether transient immunosuppression reduction impro... Read More

International Consortium for Multimodality Phenotyping in Adults With Non-compaction
Recruiting
Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a heterogeneous, poorly understood disorder characterized by a prominent inner layer of loose myocardial tissue, and associated with heart failure, stroke, severe rhythm irregularities and death. For a growing population diagnosed with NCCM there is a need for better risk stratification to appropriately allocate (or safely withhold) these impactful preventive measures. The goal of this international consortium is to improve care of patients with non-compac... Read More
