This clinical feasibility study is to evaluate the performance of the Omega-Cuff in the treatment of acid reflux for up to 15 patients with a 1-year follow-up period. The Omega-shaped nitinol device is placed on top of the esophageal sphincter muscle just above the stomach in a laparoscopic surgical procedure without altering anatomy. In animal studies, the device safely increased the pressure on the sphincter, meaning it increased resistance to acid reflux, but did not interfere with normal food swallowing, meaning food went down to the stomach normally and smoothly. The device is intended to augment the function of the weak sphincter in minimizing acid reflux but allows easy swallowing of food in GERD patients. The clinical feasibility study is to see how well this device functions in patients and to assess its safety profile. This is a permanent implant that will last the lifetime of the patient. The device will not interfere with patients who may need diagnostic MRI scans. The device can be safely removed if needed. Read Less

This clinical trial tests different programs to help patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remember to take their medications during maintenance therapy at home. One problem with ALL maintenance treatment is remembering to take medicines at home like patients are supposed to. In maintenance, a medicine called 6-mercaptopurine or "6MP" is taken by mouth every day at home. In this study, 6MP prescriptions are filled into a special medication bottle called MEMS® which is fitted with a special cap called TrackCap™ that electronically records when the medication bottle is opened. Researchers are trying a new program to help patients be better at taking their 6MP like they're supposed to. This new program may help patients to remember to take their 6MP medication. Read Less

This prospective, multicenter, cluster-randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the accuracy of an investigational artificial intelligence (AI) Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) designed to compute ejection fraction (EF) severity categories based on the American Society of Echocardiography's (ASE) 4-category scale. The software analyzes continuous ECG waveform data acquired by the FDA-cleared Peerbridge COR® ECG Wearable Monitor, an ambulatory patch device designed for use during daily activities. The AI software assists clinicians in cardiac evaluations by estimating EF severity, which reflects how well the heart pumps blood. In this study, EF severity determination will be made using 5-minute ECG recordings collected during a 15-minute resting period with participants seated upright. The results will be compared to EF severity obtained from an FDA-cleared, non-contrast transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) predicate device. This comparison aims to validate the accuracy of the AI software. Read Less

This is a multi-site, open-label, Phase II, randomized, trial to compare the efficacy of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer. Read Less

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) interventions could feasibly strengthen residual corticospinal tract (CST) connections and promote poststroke hand motor recovery. To maximize the effects of such interventions, they must be delivered during brain activity patterns during which TMS best activates the residual CST and enhances its neural transmission. This approach is termed brain state-dependent TMS. The investigators have recently developed a machine learning framework that identifies personalized brain activity patterns reflecting strong CST activation in neurotypical adults. In this study, the investigators will apply this framework to the poststroke brain for the first time. They will also evaluate relationships between this framework's ability to detect strong and weak CST activation states and measures of CST pathway integrity. Participants will visit the laboratory for two days of testing that are separated by at least one night of sleep. On Day 1, participants will provide their informed consent. The MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool and the Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test will be used to evaluate consent capacity and confirm the presence of expressive aphasia as needed. Afterwards, participants will complete eligibility screening and clinical assessment of upper extremity motor impairment, motor function, and disability using the Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment, the Wolf Motor Function Test, and the Modified Rankin Scale. Participants will then be screened for the presence of residual CST connections from the lesioned hemisphere to the affected first dorsal interosseous muscle. Recording electrodes will be attached to this muscle in order to record TMS-evoked twitches in these muscles. During this procedure, single-pulse TMS will be applied to each point of a 1 cm resolution grid covering primary and secondary motor areas of the lesioned hemisphere at maximum stimulator output. If TMS reliably elicits a muscle twitch in the affected first dorsal interosseous, that participant will be considered to have residual CST connections and will be eligible for the full study. If no muscle twitch is observed, the participant will not be eligible for the full study. Afterwards, recording electrodes will be removed and the participant will leave the laboratory. On Day 2, participants will return to the laboratory. The investigators will confirm continued eligibility and place recording electrodes on the scalp using a swim-type cap. The investigators will also place recording electrodes on the affected first dorsal interosseous as well as the affected abductor pollicis brevis and extensor digitorum communis muscles. After identifying the scalp location at which TMS best elicits muscle twitches in the affected first dorsal interosseous muscle, the investigators will determine the lowest possible TMS intensity that such evokes muscle twitches at least half of the time. Then, the investigators will deliver 6 blocks of 100 single TMS pulses while participants rest quietly with their eyes open. Stimulation will be delivered at an intensity that is 20% greater than the lowest possible TMS intensity that evokes muscle twitches at least half the time. Afterwards, all electrodes will be removed, participation will be complete, and participants will leave the laboratory. The investigators will recruit a total of 20 chronic stroke survivors for this study. Read Less

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurogenetic disorder caused by a loss or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) on chromosome 5q13, which leads to reduced SMN protein levels and a selective dysfunction of motor neurons. SMA is an autosomal recessive, early childhood disease with an incidence of 1:10,000 live births. SMA is the leading cause of infant mortality due to genetic diseases. The purpose of this registry is to assess the long term outcomes of patients with SMA in the context of advances in treatment options and also to characterize and assess long-term safety and effectiveness of OAV-101.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if CGB-500 works to treat atopic dermatitis in participants ages 12 and older. The goal is also to learn about the safety of CGB-500. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does CGB-500 improve atopic dermatitis by decreasing the area affected and the severity of the lesions? What medical problems do participants have when taking CGB500? Researchers will compare CGB-500 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if CGB-500 works to treat atopic dermatitis. Participants will: Take CGB-500 or a placebo every day for 8 weeks. Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for the first month and at the end of 8 weeks. Keep a diary of when they use the product and complete a form about their symptoms including itching. Read Less

Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Protocol (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts will receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System will be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who are not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and are also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, will be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects will be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years. Read Less
