The goal of this clinical study is to learn if RSLV-132 improves the symptoms of SS in adults. It will also learn about the safety of RSLV-132. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does RSLV-132 improve the cardinal symptoms of Sjogren's including fatigue, dryness and pain? * Does RSLV-132 improve the tiredness/fatigue caused by Sjogren's? * What are the blood levels of RSLV-132 over time? * What is the immune (antibody) response in the body to RSLV-132? * What is the safety profile of RSLV-132? Researchers will compare RSLV-132 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if RSLV-132 improves the symptoms of pSS. Participants will: Take RSLV-132 or a placebo 13 times over 22 weeks Visit the clinic once every week for the first 2 weeks, then every 2 weeks until the end of treatment and then for a final time 4 weeks later (Day 211) for check-ups, tests and to answer questionnaires about their symptoms Record their symptoms every day on an electronic device Read Less

This project will compare two training models of an evidence-based online dementia care training program for direct care staff in assisted living to a waitlist control: 1) essentiALZ training and 2) essentiALZ training + Project ECHO. It will examine the extent to which each model is implemented and achieves its intended outcomes to improve staff knowledge and attitudes, change care practices, and improve the wellbeing of staff, residents, and residents' family members. Results will inform next steps in dementia care training for the assisted living (AL) and broader long-term care workforce. To examine these outcomes, data will be collected from AL staff and families over the course of 6 months. Staff will complete questionnaires and participate in interviews (as applicable) at baseline, post-training, 3-months, and 6-months. Families will participate in interviews at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months. Read Less

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the effects of NMRA-335140 (formerly BTRX-335140) on symptoms of depression in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The study design consists of a Screening Period (up to 35 days), and a 6-week Treatment Period (during which participants will receive either NMRA-335140 or placebo). At the completion of the 6-week Treatment Period, participants who complete the study, provide informed consent, and meet the eligibility criteria may enter an open-label extension study (NMRA-335140-501).

The safety, tolerability, and antileukemic response of ziftomenib in combination with standard of care treatments for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia will be examined with the following agents: FLAG-IDA, low-dose cytarabine, and gilteritinib. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of pelacarsen (TQJ230) administered subcutaneously once monthly compared to placebo in slowing the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis. Read Less

Multicenter, global, prospective, non-randomized, interventional, post-market trial. All subjects enrolled will receive an Abbott Valved Graft device. Read Less

SLS009 (formerly GFH009) is a potent and highly selective CDK9 inhibitor. In this study the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of single agent SLS009 are assessed in two dose escalation groups (Group 1 in patients with relapsed/refractory AML, Group 2 in patients with relapse/refractory lymphoma/CLL/SLL). The safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of SLS009 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in patient with relapsed/refractory AML who have relapsed on or are refractory to venetoclax-based regimens are being assessed in five cohorts of the expansion Group 3.

This study investigates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of enCompass Humana, a social support intervention for caregivers of patients with cancer and diabetes. The enCompass program aims to improve support for these caregivers through a randomized feasibility study of a pilot-tested coaching and navigation program. Caregiver services and system-level support are essential, but successful interventions for cancer caregivers are rarely standardized or systematically disseminated. Consequently, many programs do not reach the most underserved caregivers. Challenges to implementation include substantial clinical staff involvement, lack of dissemination and implementation information, and failure to tailor interventions to rural contexts. Despite the lack of standardized supportive interventions, national reports and legislative efforts increasingly recognize the need to support caregivers. Caregivers reported unmet needs in all domains of social support, including instrumental help (e.g., in-home help, housekeeping), logistical and coordination support (e.g., food delivery, accompanying patients to appointments), information about illness and progression, emotional support, self-care guidance, and financial assistance (e.g., parking costs, lost wages). Caregivers show high interest in services but cited uncertainty and lack of strategies for accessing resources. Many are unaware of existing services. Interviews with oncology clinicians and healthcare administrators revealed similar findings: resources exist, but there is no system to match them with caregivers' needs. Preliminary data suggest the intervention improves caregiver coping self-efficacy and reduces anxiety and depression in patients. With input from stakeholders, including caregivers, patients, family caregiving experts, and clinical care experts, the study team adapted the CARING application into enCompass to mitigate structural barriers and normalize support-seeking. The long-term goal is to adapt this psychosocial support program to increase self-efficacy, support-seeking, and reduce loneliness among caregivers. It is hypothesized that enCompass will build self-efficacy and coping skills, serving caregivers throughout the patient's illness and complications. Read Less
