The purpose of this study is to determine whether plasma exchange as well as immunosuppressive therapy are effective in reducing death and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The trial will also study whether a reduced cumulative dosing regimen of glucocorticoids is as effective as a standard disease regimen. The FDA-OOPD is one of the funding sources for this study.

This international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with ADPKD. Approximately 850 patients will be enrolled.

This is a 2 part study. Part 1 is a dose escalation to determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) dose of MK-0482 administered as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with advanced solid tumors for which there is no available therapy which may convey clinical benefit. Part 2 is expansion cohort to determine safety and tolerability of MK-0482 in combination with pembrolizumab with and without chemotherapy in participants with advanced tumor specific cohorts.

A double-blind, randomised controlled trial in participants with COPD to assess the efficacy of proactive treatment of cardiac risk in people with COPD. We hypothesise that treating known and undiagnosed CVD in COPD participants will improve both cardiac and respiratory outcomes.

The GalaxyDMD study is a global Phase 3, open-label, treatment extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and durability of effect in long-term dosing of edasalonexent in pediatric patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of DMD. Patients who completed CAT-1004-201 or CAT-1004-301 or siblings of these boys from 4-12 years of age (up to 13th birthday) will be enrolled. Edasalonexent is an orally administered small molecule that inhibits NF-kB, which is a key link between loss of dystrophin and disease pathology and plays a fundamental role in the initiation and progression of skeletal and cardiac muscle disease in DMD.

This study will evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and biologic activity of giredestrant in participants with Stage I-III operable estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, untreated breast cancer.

The Hearing for Learning Initiative is a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial. The HfLI will implement and rigorously evaluate an innovative community-based service-enhancement model of ear and hearing health, in partnership with participating communities and health and education services. This initiative will address the following research question: In urban, rural and remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, does employment, training and integration of local Ear and Hearing Clinical and Education Support Officers into health and education services (the Hearing for Learning initiative), compared to current practice, increase the proportion of children who receive an ear assessment, reduce the prevalence of ear and hearing problems and improve education outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, during a four year trial period?

This post-marketing study is designed to compare the safety of baricitinib versus tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors with respect to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) when given to participants with rheumatoid arthritis.

This phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed, standard risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lymphoblastic lymphoma with or without Down syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine, dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, pegaspargase, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and thioguanine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Leucovorin decreases the toxic effects of methotrexate. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy may work better than combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with B-ALL. This trial also assigns patients into different chemotherapy treatment regimens based on risk (the chance of cancer returning after treatment). Treating patients with chemotherapy based on risk may help doctors decide which patients can best benefit from which chemotherapy treatment regimens.

This study is designed to investigate whether the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor Empagliflozin reduces sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity in humans.
