The objectives of the study are to examine the performance and safety characteristics of the Millipede System when used for revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to Large Vessel Occlusions (LVOs) and to record associated clinical outcomes. Read Less

The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of perioperative treatment with Durvalumab in combination with Oleclumab, Monalizumab or AZD0171 and platinum doublet chemotherapy (CTX); or Volrustomig in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy or datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with durvalumab and single agent platinum chemotherapy in participants with resectable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

The study participant is being asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study, because the participant is a young child with sickle cell disease or the caregiver of a child with sickle cell disease. This study is being done to test a school readiness program for children with sickle cell disease (ages 4-6 years old). Primary Objective Assess feasibility and acceptability of an adapted school readiness intervention among preschool children (ages 4-6) diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Secondary Objectives Objective 1: Measure preliminary efficacy of the adapted school readiness intervention compared to routine care among preschool children ages (4-6) diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Objective 2: Examine implementation factors (i.e., barriers and facilitators) during post-intervention. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

This study is being conducted to learn more about the patient/family experience when opting to enroll in Phase I clinical trials and their quality of life (QOL) while receiving experimental therapy. Palliative care (PC) has the potential to be beneficial for these families and further studies are needed to determine the most effective way for integration of PC into the care of patients enrolled on experimental clinical trials. Primary Objective To qualitatively assess the patient and family experience, their hopes and worries and associated distress while deciding to enroll on a Phase I clinical trial. Read Less

This study examines the impact of social and genetic factors on outcomes in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Compared to both older adult and childhood cancer patients, AYAs with cancer experience different diagnoses and specific biological, clinical, psychological and social factors that affect their risks for post-treatment morbidity and premature death. Collecting samples of blood samples and health and treatment information from cancer survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma may help doctors identify conditions that increase the likelihood of AYAs getting sick and dying after treatment of cancer and better understand how to address the needs of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy (RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brain or body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brain and spine. Giving treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of radiation in some patients and adjust the therapy to a more efficient one for other patients with localized NGGCT.

The study will explore the effects of early intensive antiretroviral therapy (ART) with or without a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) on achieving HIV remission (HIV RNA below the limit of detection of the assay) among infants living with HIV. Read Less

Finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Empagliflozin lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the excretion of glucose from the blood into the urine. In this study, the researchers want to learn how well the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' kidney function compared to either treatment alone. For this, the level of protein in the urine will be measured. The investigators also want to know how safe the combination is compared to either treatment alone. Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin, or finerenone together with a placebo, or empagliflozin together with a placebo, once a day as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their other current medicine for CKD and T2D. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, participants will visit the study site 7 times. The study team will: collect blood and urine samples check the participants' vital signs do a physical examination including height and weight check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor the participants' blood pressure ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they may be having An adverse event is any problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the events might be related to the study treatments. Read Less

In this prospective, phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, parallel-arm study, approximately 880 subjects with moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED) will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either TL-925 or vehicle as topical ophthalmic eye drops administered bilaterally BID. The study will comprise two phases: a two-week screening phase/run-in and a six-week double-masked treatment phase. Read Less

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and dosing of study drugs, cobicistat-boosted Atazanavir (ATV/co), cobicistat-boosted darunavir (DRV/co) and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF), in children (age ≥ 4 weeks to < 18 years) with HIV. Read Less

This study will test an anti-HIV drug (ARV) for newborn babies. The study will include a minimum of 36 and up to 108 mothers living with HIV and their newborn babies from Brazil, South Africa, Thailand, and the United States. Infants will be in the study for approximately 16 weeks (four months) after they are born. Mothers will not receive study drug and will exit the study after the Entry visit. Read Less
