Efficacy of Dupilumab Added to Medium Dose Inhaled Corticosteroid/Long-acting Beta-agonist (ICS/LABA) in Comparison to ICS Dose Escalation to High Dose ICS/LABA in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma
Recruiting
This study is researching a drug called dupilumab. The study is focused on patients who have uncontrolled asthma. Asthma is a condition where the airways narrow and swell, making it difficult to breathe. Uncontrolled asthma means that patients are still having frequent symptoms while taking their current asthma medication. The aim of the study is to see which regimen is more effective: taking dupilumab with an inhaled asthma medication or only taking a higher dose of the inhaled asthma medicati... Read More

A Study of Vedolizumab Intravenous (IV) and Adalimumab or Vedolizumab and Ustekinumab in Adults With Crohn's Disease
Recruiting
The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with adalimumab or vedolizumab (VDZ) together with ustekinumab (UST) in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, and the effect of treatment with vedolizumab alone, after the dual targeted treatment. The study is conducted in two parts. In Part A, participants will receive the dual targeted treatment (vedolizumab together with either adalimumab or ustekinumab). In part B, parti... Read More

Hydrocolloid Dressings for Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Wound Healing
Recruiting
This study aims to explore the use of a hydrocolloid dressing (DuoDERM EXTRA THIN) as an alternative to the current standard of care. The dressing would be applied immediately after surgery and removed at a post-operative week 1 appointment. The dressing would eliminate the need for antibiotic ointment application and reduce the burden of post-operative care on the patient.

A Study of Treatment for Medulloblastoma Using Sodium Thiosulfate to Reduce Hearing Loss
Recruiting
This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower chance of the cancer coming back than subjects with average-risk medulloblastoma. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effect... Read More
