The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for pegloticase with methotrexate (MTX) to increase the response rate seen with pegloticase alone, and to characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the concomitant use of pegloticase with MTX, by comparing pegloticase co-administered with MTX to pegloticase co-administered with placebo for MTX in adults with uncontrolled gout.

Placement of a ureteral stent is a common urological intervention. For decades there was no valid measures available to assess quality of life issues in patients with ureteral stents, which has hampered the understanding of such symptoms and their true impact. In order to improve the outcomes associated with the placement of a stent, a validated tool is needed to measure its impact and the amount of undesirable effects it produces on patients requiring the placement of a stent. In 2003, the team of the Bristol Urological Institute developed a validated questionnaire called the: URETERAL STENT SYMPTOM QUESTIONNAIRE (USSQ). The questionnaire contains 38 items included in 6 sections. Despite the obvious need of a validated questionnaire, the latter remains unused by the community of peer urologists. Many of urologists consider it too long to be used in clinical practice and even for research purposes. This issue motivated the Canadian Endourology Group (CEG) to work collaboratively on the development of the CANADIAN ENDOUROLOGY GROUP STENT SYMPTOM SCORE (CEGSSS) in order to provide clinicians with a more useful and validated tool. To fulfill this objective, the CEG proceeds in three phases. Phase 1. A systematic, deliberative, and participatory approach mostly through face to face meetings, including patients, clinicians, and researchers in the field of Endourology to identify a minimum needs-based set of domains and items that are, clinically relevant to be included in the CEGSSS in order to ensure optimal uptake in the clinical setting. Phase 2. A pilot study to assess feasibility/acceptability and further refine the proposed set of items selected in phase 1 of the study. Phase 3. A multicentric prospective study to evaluate the validity, reliability and sensitivity to change of the CEGSSS. This research project is conducted by the Canadian Endourology Group (CEG), a panel of experts in the field of endourology in Canada. The CEG is a national member-based organization dedicated to enabling the profession to provide the highest possible standards of endourological care and to advance the science of endourology by collaboratively: 1. Fostering excellence in endourological practice through advocacy, education, research and practice support tools, 2. Leading evidence-based clinical practice through the development of practice standards and guidelines in endourology, 3. Providing continuous professional development for Canadian endourologists along the career-path continuum, 4. Providing leadership in public education for endourological conditions. Read Less

This is a 2-part study evaluating the effects of IV administration of NR on healthy adult populations. Study 1 involved all four arms with 37 people. The second study only included the active NR and NAD+ arms to further evaluate tolerability and comfort of the IV. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to 1) determine how hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) activation occurs with sleep restriction 2) evaluate how hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG axis) deactivation occurs with sleep restriction. The investigator will also examine the cognitive function associated with sleep restriction, including food intake and food cravings. Read Less

The objective of this study was to investigate the bioequivalence of Mylan's nadolol/bendroflumethiazide 80 mg/5 mg tablets to King's Corzide® 80 mg/5 mg tablets following a single, oral 80 mg/5 mg (1 x 80 mg/5 mg) dose administered under fasting conditions. Read Less

The objective of this study was to investigate the bioequivalence of Mylan's fexofenadine 180 mg tablets to Aventis' Allegra® 180 mg tablets following a single, oral 180 mg (1 x 180 mg) dose administered under fed conditions. Read Less

In this study, we will test the feasibility of N-of-1 trials for deprescribing beta-blockers in patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction. To achieve this objective we will conduct 16 4-period N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) and subsequently interview participants to better understand feasibility and pragmatism. The N-of-1 trials will be iteratively refined in real-time based on this feedback. Read Less

The goal of the study is to determine the acute and short-term supplementation effect of a commercially available theacrine-containing supplement (NAD3) on numbers of various circulating stem cell populations in older adults. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Pregnyl® when given in combination with standard immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric and adult patients with high-risk (Arm 1) or refractory/dependent (Arm 2) aGVHD. Read Less

The main aim of this study is to check if repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of lanadelumab can prevent angioedema attacks in teenagers and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-INH. Another aim is to check if they tolerate the repeated SC injections. Participants will receive a SC injection of lanadelumab every two weeks for 26 weeks. The first two doses of lanadelumab will be given at the study clinic. Once a participant (and/or parent/caregiver) has been appropriately trained, lanadelumab can be self-injected. Visits to the study clinic are planned for the first, third and fourth week and then every 4 weeks. Read Less
