NCT05561647
The study is about learning and documenting how well participants and physicians understand how to use GATTEX and about potential risks by using a survey (called Knowledge Assessment Survey). This survey, which is conducted every two years, is part of the Gattex Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). REMS is a safety program required by the US health authority (FDA) for certain medicines that have serious risks. REMS intends to help reduce these risks while still allowing treatment. The goal is to make sure these medicines are used in the safest way possible. The main aim of this survey is to find out how well participants and physicians understand the checkups and tests (so called monitoring) participants should have while taking GATTEX, and the possible risks or of using GATTEX to treat Short Bowel Syndrome. The knowledge assessment survey will be done via internet, telephone, or paper and both physicians and participants will be able to choose the method that is preferred. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study.
NCT05861323
Nearly 25% of Americans die in intensive care units (ICUs). Most deaths in ICUs are expected and involve the removal of ventilator support, or palliative withdrawal of mechanical ventilation (WMV). Prior work by the Principal Investigator (PI) found that patient suffering can be common; with 30-59% of patients going through this process experiencing distress. Thus, experts and national organizations have called for evidence to inform guidelines for WMV. This research study will 1) develop and refine a Comfort Measures Only Time out (CMOT) intervention consisting of a structured time out with check-list protocol for the ICU team (nurse, physician, respiratory therapist) to improve the process of WMV. and 2) Pilot test the CMOT intervention in 4 ICUs (2 medical/2 surgical) among 40 WMV patients.
