This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RMC-9805 as monotherapy and in combination with RMC-6236 in adults with KRAS G12D-mutant solid tumors. Read Less

The goal of this clinical study is to look at how lenacapavir (LEN) passes through the body and to assess the safety of LEN and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) for prevention of HIV in the cisgender women in the US. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LEN in United States (US) cisgender women; 2) to evaluate the safety of LEN and F/TDF for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in US cisgender women; and 3) to evaluate the general acceptability of LEN injections and oral F/TDF in US cisgender women.

Methylphenidate (MPH) is a stimulant, FDA-approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is unknown, however, if stimulants would be of benefit for memory and thinking problems due to epilepsy. In this study, participants will be assigned randomly (i.e., by flip of a coin), to a group that takes MPH and a group that takes a placebo (sugar pill). Participants will not know the group to which they have been assigned. Tests of attention and memory will be completed before taking the study pills and at Week 8. All participants will then have the option of taking MPH for the next two months, and attention and memory will be tested again at Week 16. The study will determine whether methylphenidate is helpful for the treatment of attention and memory problems in adults with epilepsy, and whether the medication is safe and beneficial when taken over an extended time period.

The study will test a new approach to the design and implementation of socket and liner technology in individuals who lost a lower limb secondary to diabetes mellitus type II (herein referred to as dysvascular amputees). The technology-based intervention will be combined with an exercise program designed to improve the health status of dysvascular amputees. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an upfront invasive strategy of TEVAR plus medical therapy reduces the occurrence of a composite endpoint of all-cause death or major aortic complications compared to an upfront conservative strategy of medical therapy with surveillance for deterioration in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.

The overall objective of this double blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare specific outcomes of three medications (Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol) which are routinely used to lower blood pressure used during general anesthesia for orthognathic (jaw) surgery. The outcome measures for the study will be surgical field visibility, estimated blood loss, hemodynamic parameters, operation time, and adverse events. The specific objectives of this study are to compare: 1. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on the quality of the surgical field. (Primary Outcome) 2. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on estimated blood loss. 3. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on hemodynamic parameters including systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate. 4. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on operation time. 5. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on adverse events. The investigators will evaluate healthy adult male and female patients who require jaw surgery at Boston Medical Center. The anticipated 90 participants will be randomized into three groups: ) A Labetalol group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of labetalol, 2) A Nicardipine group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of nicardipine, and 3) A Dexmedetomidine group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of dexmedetomidine. The time it will take for each individual participant ranges from 1-3 months. This time includes the pre-operative visit, the surgical procedure, a 1-week post-operation visit, and then followed for 30 days post-operatively after which the patient's participation in the study will conclude.
