This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter study with an open-label dose escalation followed by a randomized placebo controlled and double-blind phase of SLN124 in adult patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV) to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK), and Pharmacodynamic (PD) response of SLN124.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the primary spine practitioner (PSP) model of care will lead to improvements in patient outcomes, as compared to usual care, based on change in patient-reported PROMIS Pain Interference and Physical Function from baseline to 3 months in patients aged 18 years and older with a primary complaint of low back pain (LBP).

The purpose of this multi-centered, NIH-sponsored study is to to develop an optimal protocol for using noninvasive 129Xe gas exchange MRI to detect changing disease activity in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended phase 2 dose of eflornithine in combination with temozolomide in patients whose glioblastoma is newly diagnosed, and to evaluate safety and tolerability of this combination at that dose. Read Less

ODYSSEY RCC is a prospective, observational Phase IV study is to understand the cancer management and health-related quality of life in patients with mRCC in routine real-world clinical practice in the United States, including both community and academic treatment settings. Read Less

This research trial studies biomarkers in tumor tissue samples from patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid to reduce perioperative blood loss, reduction in postoperative drain output and allogenic transfusion requirements. The proposed study will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind (subject, surgeons, investigators, research coordinators) placebo-controlled study. Patients following high energy trauma who have sustained thoracic or lumbar spine fractures, dislocations or ligamentous injury with resultant instability requiring posterior spinal fusion will be enrolled for this study. Furthermore, patients undergoing elective complex deformity surgery will also be enrolled. Both populations of patients will be randomized into two groups. Group I will receive standard of care operative fixation with topical tranexamic acid intervention (test); Group II will receive standard of care operative fixation with normal saline (placebo) intervention. This study will have a 2-year follow-up and will consist of three periods: screening/enrollment phase up to 21 days from the day of injury to the day of randomization and operative intervention, an inpatient data collection period for 4 days postoperative, and then a follow-up period for 2-years postoperative (visits occurring at 2 week, 16 week, 1 year, and 2 year) time points.

This protocol is designed to study Orthofix regulatory approved and commercially available spine devices to generate Real World Evidence (RWE) of device safety and performance in the treatment of patients with spine injuries and/or disorders following the local medical standard of care. The clinical data generated from this study will support compliance to global regulatory requirements including but not limited to the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) for the applicable devices.

This clinical trial keeps track of and collects follow-up information from patients who are currently enrolled on or have participated in a Children's Oncology Group study. Developing a way to keep track of patients who have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies may allow doctors learn more about the long-term effects of cancer treatment and help them reduce problems related to treatment and improve patient quality of life.

The ascending aorta conducts blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The ascending aorta can become enlarged, and the risk of tearing and rupturing becomes higher with larger aorta. When the ascending aorta tears or ruptures, the risk dying is high even if surgery is done as soon as possible. Traditionally, when the ascending aorta gets above 5.5 cm, surgery is recommended to replace the aorta. However, this threshold is based relatively weak evidence, and sometimes patients with smaller aorta can tear or rupture. On the other hand, surgery carries its own risk as well. Since there are risk of waiting or doing surgery, there is currently no great support for either approach for patients with a smaller aorta. In the TITAN SvS trial, patients with an ascending aorta between 5.0 to 5.5 cm is assigned by chance to the early surgery group, in which they will undergo replacement of aorta, or the surveillance group, in which they will be closely monitored. The chance of dying or suffer tearing or rupture of aorta between the two groups will be compared. The result of the trial will guide future practice for patients with enlarged ascending aorta. This is a prospective, multi-centre randomized control trial that compares the all-cause mortality, aneurysm-related aortic events, rate of stroke, and quality of life for those patients undergoing early elective ascending aortic surgery to those patients undergoing surveillance. Patients referred for an ascending aortic aneurysm that meets the inclusion criteria will be randomized to the early elective surgery group or the surveillance group. Recruitment will end when the desired sample size is reached, and the patients will be followed for a minimum 2-year period. The primary objective of the trial is to compare the composite outcome of the all-cause mortality and incidence of acute aortic events between surveillance and elective ascending aortic surgery for patients with degenerative or bicuspid valve-related ascending aortic aneurysm after 2 years of follow up. The hypothesis is that the early surgery group will have a significantly lower all-cause mortality and incidence of acute aortic events at 2 years of follow up compare to the surveillance group. The result of this trial will provide evidence based guidance in the appropriate management of ascending aortic aneurysm based on the size criteria, and establish a large database for future investigations.
