NCT06435221
Safety assessment of long-term 3 mg cytisinicline three times daily (TID) exposure for 52 weeks is the main purpose of this study, conducted in the United States.
NCT01134614
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving ipilimumab with or without sargramostim (GM-CSF) works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Ipilimumab works by activating the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of treatment. It is not yet known whether giving ipilimumab together with sargramostim is more effective than ipilimumab alone in treating melanoma.
NCT03945162
This is a phase II, open-label, single-arm, multi-center Study conducted in Canada and the United States. Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ("NMIBC") Carcinoma In-Situ ("CIS") (with or without resected papillary disease (Ta, T1)) that are considered Bacillus Calmette-Guerin ("BCG")-Unresponsive or who are intolerant to BCG therapy. BCG-Unresponsive is at least one of the following: At least five of six doses of an initial induction course plus at least two of three doses of maintenance therapy; or, at least five of six doses of an initial induction course plus at least two of six doses of a second induction course. Patients experiencing disease relapse within 12 months after finishing the second course of BCG therapy are considered BCG-Unresponsive. The Study will consist of 90 patients who will undergo one (1) Study Procedure, with up to two (2) additional re-induction Study Procedures based on patient response.
NCT07173309
This project aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) tool to enhance skill acquisition for endoscopic kidney stone surgery. Of the 100,000 patients who undergo an endoscopic kidney stone treatment annually in the United States, 25% will require a repeat stone surgery within 20 months of their index surgery. The repeat stone surgery rate is almost completely driven by postoperative residual stone fragments, which lead to ureteral obstruction, causing pain, urinary tract infection, and kidney injury. One significant factor that contributes to residual stone fragments is limited visualization of the entire collecting system - a skill directly associated with surgeon experience. This leads to novice surgeons having a much higher recurrence rate than experienced ones. As the incidence of kidney stone disease continues to increase (prevalence of 10%, incidence of 1116 per 100,000), improved endoscopic surgical training is required to improve outcomes of stone surgeries and minimize complications by improving stone-free rate. Currently, skill assessment during endoscopic stone surgery is limited. There are no objective metrics for endoscopic surgery to assess skill. The only feedback trainees get is in the form of verbal communication from expert surgeons, usually after the conclusion of surgery. Thus, most feedback is synoptic and limited in facilitating skill acquisition. Operative time and patient safety concerns restrict the amount of active, real-time feedback given during a case for skill acquisition. Endoscopic kidney stone surgery is uniquely challenging given the small depth and field of view of current endoscopes, which complicate the complete visualization of the entire collecting system. Navigation of the collecting system relies on mentally mapping preoperative imaging to the endoscopic surgical field. Success in mapping relies on hand-eye coordination, memory, and spatial reasoning, which are gained through practice. Thus, there is a need for tools that facilitate endoscopic surgical skill acquisition. The overarching hypothesis for this research is that surgical skill acquisition and outcomes for endoscopic kidney stone surgery can be improved by analyzing eye gaze data and using expert gaze to guide surgical trainees intraoperatively. Eye gaze guidance has been shown to lead to better skill acquisition in virtual reality surgical tasks compared with motion guidance alone. The proposed system would provide real-time education for trainees during endoscopic stone surgery, such as through head-mounted displays (i.e., the Microsoft HoloLens 2). The investigators have previously demonstrated eye gaze sharing in phantoms. By implementing this system in the operating room (OR), the investigators would be able to instill durable skill acquisition in trainees. The investigators will also implement the NASA-task load index for the trainees to gauge the usability of the system.

NCT05710640
The study is a multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tcVNS on pain and inflammation associated with JIA. tcVNS is administered with a device that gives off mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve. Part of the vagus nerve and its branches are located in the head and neck. For this study, the impulses will be administered using a small electrode at the cymba concha for participants receiving treatment with active tcVNS and at the neck for participants receiving sham stimulation. The electrode helps to conduct the stimulation through the skin. This stimulation triggers a chemical response through the nerves and has been found to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in several diseases. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of tcVNS on JIA ACR 50 in participants with active JIA. The components of the active and sham tcVNS devices, utilizing the Roscoe Medical TENS 7000, have been FDA 510(k)-cleared and have been determined by the IRB to be a nonsignificant risk device.
NCT07228390
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Ritlecitinib) for the possible treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS is a disease causing long lasting painful red skin lumps. This study is seeking participants who: * have moderate or severe HS * have previously received antibiotics for HS that did not help, or could not tolerate antibiotics Participants will be randomly (like a flip of coin) assigned to receive either the study medicine or a placebo (a pill that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The study medicine or placebo will be taken by mouth once daily at home. For the first part of the study, participants will receive a loading (starting) dose. For the next part of the study, participants will receive a maintenance (ongoing) dose. Participants will take part in the study for about 24 weeks (about 6 months). There will be about 10 study clinic visits: a screening visit, Day 1, and then every 1, 2, or 4 weeks until week 16. At each visit, participants will report on their health and have tests such as physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. Participants will record when they take the study medicine and their HS symptoms every day in an eDiary on a mobile phone. The experiences of participants receiving the study medicine will be compared to those receiving placebo to help see if the study medicine is safe and effective.
NCT05753748
The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.

The study will specifically look at the need to revise the hip replacement after 5 years. This will be compared to how much this happens in patients who have hip replacement with similar cementless acetabular shells.
NCT05299606
This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study on transbronchial microwave ablation using the NEUWAVE FLEX Microwave Ablation System and Accessories on oligometastatic tumors in the peripheral lung, guided by the Auris MONARCH Platform for visualization and access while using cone beam CT (computed tomography) to confirm probe tip placement and final ablation zone. The primary endpoint is Technique Efficacy, assessed 30-days post-ablation via CT imaging.
NCT01147965
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that a cancer vaccine has on you and your cancer. The cancer vaccine is called Ad5 \[E1-, E2b-\]-CEA(6D)or ETBX-011 and is made by Etubics. This vaccine is based on a virus called an adenovirus but it has been changed to express the protein CEA that is found on some cancer cells. Therefore, the vaccine can tell the immune system to attack cancer cells which make CEA. The investigators are trying to determine whether giving this virus is safe and whether this causes a strong immune system attack on the cancer. ETBX-011 is an investigational drug.
NCT06934239
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare patient-centered outcomes when screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams are interpreted with versus without a leading FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) decision-support tool in real-world U.S. settings and to assess patients' and radiologists' perspectives on AI in medicine. The main question it aims to answer is: Does an FDA-cleared AI decision-support tool for digital tomosynthesis (DBT) improve screening outcomes in real world US clinical settings? This trial will include all interpreting radiologists and all adult patients undergoing screening mammography at any of the participating breast imaging facilities across 6 regional health systems (University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University of Washington-Seattle, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Boston Medical Center, and University of Miami) during the trial period. All screening mammograms at these facilities will be randomized to either intervention (radiologist assisted by an AI decision support tool) versus usual care (radiologist alone) to see if interpreting these mammograms with the AI tool's assistance improves patient screening outcomes. We are targeting 400,000 screening exams across the participating health systems in this trial.
