Summary The environment in which we live, play and travel is primarily built by and for people with sight. Navigating the sighted world with blindness can be exhausting, as it involves disorientation, social isolation, increased risk, frustration and inefficiency. Accessing timely information about the environment is necessary to navigate an efficient path of travel and reduce the effort involved in living with blindness. Numerous assistive technologies have been developed to improve access to information, and quality of life for people with blindness, however persistent technology limitations include affordability, unreliable internet connection, lag and limited battery life. Existing technologies can offer scene description or text-to-voice quite effectively when the user is standing still, but not quickly enough to gain benefit when on the move. Timely information is crucial at road crossings, where poor decisions can result in injury. Information lag or deficit also compounds travel fatigue due to time and energy wasted in searching, uncertainty and frustration. Blind users are often brought in to test new technologies or devices in controlled, clinical conditions, when it is too late to influence design. There is little evidence of testing these technologies in lived environments to understand the functional benefits for the blind population, partly because there is a dearth of available methods and measures to embrace the complexity of functional research. This study will test the safety, efficacy and usability of the ARIA Device in 12 varied research tasks undertaken by blind participants in clinical, social and outdoor lived environments, comparing ARIA performance with each participant's ordinary (non-ARIA) methods of undertaking the same tasks. The study uses an embedded mixed methods design with a qualitative priority, generating rich, precise data about what matters to participants and what they can do in diverse situations.

This study is a phase III, open label, multicentre, three-group, randomised clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether intensive groin ultrasound monitoring (1) is effective and safe to replace invasive groin lymph node dissection (LND) to manage vulvar cancer, (2) decreases the morbidity associated with vulvar cancer surgery, and (3) is cost effective.

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out about the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of DM001 for patients with the advanced solid tumors. DM001 is an experimental drug which is not approved by health authorities for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Participants will have up to 17 visits during the study.There will be up to a 4-week Screening Period followed by a treatment period that will be divided into 3-week cycles/ Participants will have 5 study visits during Cycle 1, 3 visits during Cycles 2 and 3, and 1 visit during subsequent cycles. Participants will have an End of Treatment visit 21 days (+ 7 days) after last dose of study drug and then a follow-up visit 30 days (± 7 days) after the End of Treatment visit.

After a kidney or a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant, some patients may face problems with their new organs. This happens because the body sometimes makes a mistake and tries to get rid of the organ. This problem is called rejection. One type of rejection is known as Acute T cell mediated rejection (TCMR). This can lead to many problems or even stop the transplant from working. Doctors give strong steroids to treat this problem, but there are no rules for how much steroid to give. Too much steroids can cause problems like heart and bone problems, bad infections, and weight gain. That is why we need to find the right dose of steroids for each person to treat this. TACKLE-IT is a study that will try to find the right steroid dose for treating rejection.

The objective of the MagDI Australia Study is to evaluate the feasibility / performance, safety, and initial efficacy of the MagDI System in eligible participants who are indicated for a duodeno-ileal (small bowel) side-to-side anastomosis procedure for partial intestinal diversion (e.g., one example of a small bowel clinical procedure requiring a side-to-side anastomosis).

This study is a single-arm, single-center trial aimed at evaluating the pharmacokinetics, bio-distribution, dosimetry, and safety of 18F-LNC1007 injection in healthy volunteers and light tumor burden cancer patients, as defined by \<5 lesions on a conventional PET/CT done for clinical purposes and molecular imaging tumor volume of \<10ml. All participants must provide a signed consent form before enrolling in the trial. For each participant, the study duration will be about 3 weeks including 2 weeks' screening, 1 week of scanning and safety follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of single doses of RN0361 in Adult healthy subjects and Adult Hypertriglyceridemic Subjects.

This is a Phase 1/2a, first-in-human, prospective, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and effect on body weight of TE-8105 in overweight/obese participants without diabetes. Study TE-8105-101 consists of 2 parts: Part A (single-ascending dose \[SAD\]) and Part B (multiple-ascending dose \[MAD\])

This study is a first-in-human clinical trial testing a new treatment for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. The new treatment called retinal thermofusion uses a special laser device called iSeelr™ during surgery. The benefit of the device is that it repairs retinal tears without needing a gas bubble making it quicker to recover from surgery. The study will help us determine how safe and well the device performs in repairing a retinal detachment in people.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and often painful inflammatory skin disease which includes the forming of lumps, abscesses and scars in areas of the skin such as under the breasts, under armpits, inner thighs, groin and buttocks. This study will compare lutikizumab versus placebo for the treatment of adult and adolescent participants with the signs and symptoms of moderate to severe HS . Lutikizumab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HS. During Period 1 of the study, participants will placed in 1 of 2 groups called treatment arms. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Around 1280 adult and adolescent participants with moderate to severe HS will be enrolled in the study at approximately 275 sites world wide. During Period 2, participants that were part of the lutikizumab treatment arm in Period 1 will be re-randomized to 1 of 2 lutikizumab treatment arms. Participants that were part of the Placebo arm in Period 1 will start Period 2 with an initiation of lutikizumab followed by a re-randomization to 1 of 2 lutikizumab treatment arms. In Period 1, participants will receive subcutaneous injections of lutikizumab or placebo every week for 16 weeks. In Period 2, participants that were randomized to lutikizumab in Period 1 will receive subcutaneous injections of lutikizumab every week or every other week for 36-weeks. Participants that were randomized to the placebo arm in Period 1 will receive subcutaneous injections of lutikizumab every week for 16 weeks, then either every week or every other week for 20 weeks. Period 3 is the Long Term Extentsion (LTE) and through Week 68, participants will continue to receive lutikizumab SC using the same assigned dosing regimen from the end of Period 2 for 16 weeks followed by open-label lutikizumab EOW for 140 weeks. Participants in the US that complete Periods 1 \& 2 will have the option to enroll in a 156-week open-label Sub-Study that will assess the long term safety and efficacy of lutikizumab in a prefilled pen. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires and diaries.
