The COVID-19 VaccinE Response in Rheumatology patients (COVER) study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine supplemental dose (booster) in patients with autoimmune conditions and to evaluate the impact of different immunomodulatory therapies on vaccine response. The investigators propose to recruit up to 1000- patients with autoimmune conditions who have a completed 2-dose regime of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (>28 days prior) and who are planning to receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., booster). Participants in this study will be men and women 18 years and older with confirmed rheumatic disease, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who express a decision to receive the mRNA vaccination booster within 30 days post enrollment. A primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that holding certain medications for a brief period of time around the time of COVID-19 vaccination might improve the response to the vaccine while not unduly having safety concerns with respect to the effects of their disease. During the study, participants using the immunomodulatory therapies described outlined in protocol will be randomized to temporarily hold (for 2 weeks) versus continue after they receive the COVID-19 vaccine supplemental dose. Patients who temporarily stop one of their medications for their autoimmune inflammatory disease may be at increased risk of flares of their autoimmune condition. If these occur, they are expected to occur within 2 - 4 weeks of treatment interruption. Detailed protocol outlines the hold schedules for the therapies to be randomized in this study. Read Less

The objectives of this clinical trial are to assess, for up to 5 years, the safety, tolerability and pharmacological activity of a single ascending doses of VTX-801, a gene therapy, administered intravenously (IV) to adult patients with Wilson's Disease prior to and following background WD therapy withdrawal.

This study is intended to be a single-site, prospective, randomized, controlled study that intends to enroll a total of 230 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Parkland Hospital. Patients will be randomized to receive either neostigmine or sugammadex for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. A standardized anesthetic protocol that is usual and customary for the type of operation the patient is having will be provided to the anesthesia teams of enrolled subjects. The remainder of the anesthetic care of the subject will not deviate from the standard of care. To account for protocol deviations and patient dropout, up to 250 randomization envelopes will be made and enrollment will continue until there are 230 completed enrollments. Read Less

This is an open-label, non-comparator, global, multi-center, long-term safety study for evaluating safety and tolerability of linerixibat in participants with cholestatic pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who participated in a prior clinical trial with linerixibat (BAT117123 [NCT01899703], 201000 GLIMMER [NCT02966834] (group 1) or 212620 GLISTEN [NCT00210418]) (group 2). All participants will receive open-label linerixibat for the duration of the study. The study duration is expected to last until the study's end or until linerixibat can be lawfully made available to participants. However, the total duration of study participation will vary by participant depending upon the time of entry relative to study end in their respective country. Read Less

The aim of this study is to obtain data on the feasibility of the Senseye Diagnostic Tool (DT) to assess the presence and severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The study will also collect data on Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) to aid in assessing the presence and severity of these disorders both for the purpose of discerning them from PTSD and determining the feasibility of diagnosing them independently.

The ACCEL® Absorbable Hemostat Powder Clinical IDE Trial is designed as a prospective, multi-center, randomized, non-inferiority, controlled pivotal clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ACCEL® Absorbable Hemostat Powder as compared to gelatin sponge, for achieving hemostasis in subjects undergoing cardiovascular, liver, or soft tissue surgery, when control of oozing to moderate bleeding by standard surgical techniques is ineffective and/or impractical.

In obese children, excess fat on the thorax exerts an unfavorable burden on the respiratory system, particularly during exercise; however, it is unclear if this burden reduces exercise tolerance, provokes dyspnea on exertion, or contributes to respiratory symptoms that could be misdiagnosed as asthma, placing obese children at risk of unnecessary treatment and potentially a reluctance to exercise explaining reports of low physical activity and fitness levels, which are counterproductive to weight loss. The investigators will examine the respiratory effects of obesity in prepubescent boys and girls, including those with respiratory symptoms misdiagnosed as asthma, before and after 1) a program of weight loss and regular exercise and 2) continued weight gain as compared with prepubescent normal weight boys and girls before and after 1 year. These results will have broad and immediate clinical impact on the care of obese children, especially those with respiratory symptoms misdiagnosed as asthma, and the results could alter interventional approaches for preventing and treating childhood obesity.

This study will evaluate if the sponge capsule device can accurately detect the presence of Barrett's Esophagus and prevalent dysplasia/adenocarcinoma detection, in a screening population, with and without chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Read Less

Multi center, retrospective chart review of patients admitted to MHS hospitals from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022. Patients will be identified through the electronic medical record, and data from those that meet the study inclusion and exclusion criteria will be analyzed. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data will be interpreted per Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards to determine local patterns of resistance. Multivariable logistic regression will be performed to determine predictors of mortality for S. maltophilia isolates. Read Less

This first-time-in-human (FTIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of escalating doses of GSK6097608 given as monotherapy and in combination with dostarlimab in participants with advanced solid tumors. In addition, dostarlimab will be given as monotherapy (Arm D); and in combination with belrestotug (Arm E); and with GSK6097608 + belrestotug (Arm F) in Japanese and Chinese participants. The study may assess the PK/PD cohorts for Arm E and/or Arm F in participants outside of China and Japan. Additionally, dostarlimab will be given in combination with cobolimab in Japanese participants. Drug name mentioned as belrestotug, GSK4428859A and EOS884448 are interchangeable for the same compound. In the rest of the document, the drug will be referred to as belrestotug. Read Less

The PCOT study is a multi-site randomized trial of patients 70 years or older with high BP. The main goal of the study Preventing Cognitive Decline by Reducing BP Target Trial (PCOT) is to conduct a large pragmatic clinical trial (PCT) to test the hypothesis that patients who receive care with a combination of clinical decision support (CDS) and team-based care delivered in primary care practices will have better blood pressure control and a lower incidence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia than patients receiving usual medical care. Patients will be recruited from UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Health & Hospital System. Read Less
