Evaluation of coagulation results reported by the Qplus Quantra System to determine pediatric reference range intervals.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke or systemic embolism (blood clots travelling through the blood stream to plug another vessel). Atrial fibrillation is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. It can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart which can travel through the blood stream to plug another vessel, and like this lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from atrial fibrillation can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs) including apixaban. OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data about how well asundexian works to prevent stroke and systemic embolism and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with atrial fibrillation and at high risk for stroke. To see how well the study treatment asundexian works researchers compare: - how long asundexian works well and - how long apixaban works well after the start of the treatment. Working well means that the treatments can prevent the following from happening: - stroke and/or - systemic embolism. The study will keep collecting data until a certain number of strokes or embolisms happen in the study. To see how safe asundexian is, the researchers will compare how often major bleedings occur after taking the study treatments asundexian and apixaban, respectively. Major bleedings are bleedings that have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, A and B. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take the study treatment asundexian by mouth once a day or apixaban by mouth twice a day for approximately 9 - 33 months. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 - 34 months. There will be visits to the study site every 3 to 6 months and up to 7 phone calls. Those participants who do not want or are unable to have visits to the study site may join the study remotely in selected locations. The location name contains the abbreviation - DCT in such cases. During the study, the study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do pregnancy tests - ask the participants questions about their quality of life - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
This is a Phase 3b, 3-year, open-label, multi-center study in which patients with DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia whose current medication(s) is not well tolerated and/or clinical symptoms are not well controlled will be switched to receive KarXT. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT and assess effectiveness, persistence, and durability of effect of KarXT through the Investigator Assessment Questionnaire (IAQ) and Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) scale in patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The secondary objectives are to further assess the effectiveness using the Clinical Global Impression, Global Improvement (CGI-I), long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT, and evaluation of scores from multiple additional patient scales and assessments throughout the study.
This study is meant to predict the outcome of VAD therapy, by forming a VAD registry for quality assessment, research, and real-time monitoring of patients on VAD therapy. The goal is to optimize the use of VAD therapy for patients, to create an online quality measurement tool for VAD treatment, and to create algorithms to estimate the prognosis for patients getting a VAD.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of JZP341 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and tolerability of acetylsalicylic acid powder for oral inhalation (I-ASA) with non-enteric-coated chewable aspirin (C-ASA) in adult subjects with obstructive or restrictive pulmonary function. In the first treatment period, subjects will be randomized to receive either a single dose (100 mg) of I-ASA powder via a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) OR a single dose (162 mg) of C-ASA tablets. After a washout period, subjects will be crossed over to receive the other treatment in the second treatment period. All subjects will receive both treatments during the study. Each single dose treatment will be followed by up to 24 hours of serial post-dose PK, PD, and safety/tolerability assessments.
Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue. Obesity in childhood is associated with many complications, including high blood pressure, type II diabetes mellitus, abnormal blood lipid values, obstructive sleep apnea, development of fatty liver, anxiety and depression. Addressing pediatric obesity is important not only to avoid these comorbidities in childhood, but also to mitigate long-term negative health outcomes, as overweight and obese youth are likely to remain overweight or obese into adulthood. There are published guidelines, however, there is not a successful standardized approach to the management of this problem. The most studied approach to pediatric obesity is multidisciplinary, high-resource weight management programs that are unable to be conducted in the primary care setting, and the prevalence of pediatric obesity continues to increase. The purpose of this study is to create, implement and evaluate a standardized protocol for the management of pediatric obesity in a low-resource primary care setting, using age-specific educational materials and every 2-week follow-up visits focused on achieving progress toward healthy lifestyle goals. The primary outcome will be the change in subject body mass index (BMI) percentile over 24 weeks of visits to the primary care doctor at a pediatric clinic.
The project will consist of subjects who have suffered Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and who are able to ambulate on treadmill with or without a harness system. This will be a 4-week controlled study consisting of two groups of TBI patients, high-intensity intervention group and low-intensity control group. Both groups will receive physical therapy treatment 3 times per week for 1 hour. The intervention group will undergo 30-minute sessions of high-intensity walking on a treadmill with an overhead harness attached for safety. In addition, they will also get up to 30-minutes of low-intensity physical therapy in order to receive 1 hour of treatment time. The control group will undergo only low-intensity physical therapy activities for 1-hour. Low-intensity physical therapy will include strength exercises, stretches, balance, and low-intensity gait training. All participants in both groups will complete these outcome measures on the first day of the study, after 2 weeks of participation, and again at the end of 4 weeks or on their last day before discharge from Carilion's services. Later on, all participants in both groups will be followed up to complete the same set of outcome measures at the end of 1 month since completion of the protocol. This follow up session will take up to 45 minutes to complete.
This is a Phase 1b open-label, single arm, multicenter, study of ALRN-6924 as a chemoprotection agent in patients with TP53-mutated HER2- breast cancer (stages IIa to IIIb) receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, docetaxel, and cyclophosphamide (TAC). Chemotherapy affects cells that are dividing, whether they are tumor cells or healthy cells (including, bone marrow cells, hair follicle cells, and epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract). ALRN-6924 is designed to stop cell division in healthy cells but not in tumor cells because they have a mutation of the TP53 gene. When this happens, tumor cells will still be destroyed by the chemotherapy but healthy cells that are not dividing may be spared from chemotherapy damage and the patient should have less side effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Blood Flow Restriction therapy improves patient related outcomes in those diagnosed with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome compared to those in the sham comparator control group.
