Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells. The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of Etentamig in adult participants with MM. Etentamig is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of MM. This study is broken into 4 substudies and each substudy consists of a dose escalation phase and dose expansion phase. Participants will receive escalating doses of etentamig alone or in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide (DR), carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) or lenalidomide (R). This will be followed by etentamig at the dose levels established during the escalation phases alone or in combination with DR, Kd, R. The participants can also receive daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd), R, or daratumumab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (DKd) as a comparator in the dose expansion phases. Around 440 adult participants with MM will be enrolled at approximately 50 sites worldwide In all substudies, participants will receive escalating doses of etentamig as Intravenous (IV) infusions, alone or in combination with DR, R or Kd, followed by IV infusions of etentamig at the dose levels established during the escalation phases alone or in combination with IV and oral DRd, DKd, or R. The study duration is approximately 130 months. 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 questionnaires.

This study will evaluate the safety and usability of the Delivery Lumen Access Device (DLAD) in accessing the vas deferens in up to 30 healthy males. This is a prospective, non-randomized, open label interventional study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of different dose levels (low, medium, and high) of Chlamydia messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Vaccine candidate in adult participants aged 18 to 29 years. This study will consist of 3 Sentinel Cohorts and a Main Cohort, with the Sentinel Cohorts assessing the safety of the different dose levels in a stepwise manner. All participants will be followed up to 12 months after the last study intervention administration. Thus, the expected duration of the participant's involvement will be 18 months.

Investigators are trying to find better treatments for people with HIV-1. In this clinical study, investigators want to see how well a new treatment called ISL+ULO, taken once a week, works compared to an existing treatment called BIC/FTC/TAF, which is taken every day. Investigators will check how many people still have a high level of the virus in their blood after 24 weeks. The investigators also want to understand if the new treatment, MK-8591B, is safe and how well people can handle it.

The main purpose of this study is to assess if olomorasib in combination with pembrolizumab is more effective than the pembrolizumab and placebo combination in part A in participants with resected KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and to assess if olomorasib in combination with durvalumab is more effective than the durvalumab and placebo combination in part B in participants with unresectable KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. The study may last up to 3 years for each participant.

Myocardial Infarction (MI) with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA), occurring in 6-8% of MIs, refers to patients who experience a heart attack without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) or significant atherosclerosis. One of the challenges inherent to MINOCA lies in its propensity to mimic non-coronary-related pathologies, such as myocarditis or takotsubo. Thus, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (MRI) imaging has been recommended as the central diagnostic tool for confirming MINOCA diagnosis while excluding the others. However, the resource-intensive nature of MRI, combined with its limited availability in hospitals, poses barriers to patient access and limits research activities that could produce significant impact. Therefore, this project's aim is to curate the largest dataset of suspected MINOCA patients with MRI, via a collaboration between Sweden's nationwide registry and South Australia's state-wide registry, to answer the following key questions: (i) What is prognosis of MINOCA, as confirmed by MRI? (ii) What are the characteristics and prognosis of patients who had MRI compared to those who did not? (iii) What clinical parameters are associated with MINOCA on MRI? This project will utilize DataSHIELD, an innovative platform that enables pooled statistical analysis of sensitive data without compromising individual-level privacy. This multicentre, comprehensive study will have a major impact on contemporary practice. It will be able to provide the significance of MINOCA diagnosis (myocardial scar on MRI), alongside identifying clinical factors associated with its occurrence and its correlation with long-term outcomes. This is crucial for informing clinical guidelines, policy decisions around reimbursement for MRI, and developing effective clinical trials to enhance the management of MRI-confirmed MINOCA patients

A parallel, single-blinded, randomised clinical trial conducted remotely across Australia from the Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research (MMIHR, Australian Catholic University) for individuals with type 2 diabetes, by researchers from Australian Catholic University, University of Adelaide, University of Queensland, University of Wollongong, Monash University, Monash Partners, Deakin University, La Trobe University and Melbourne University.

Patients with a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) in high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes who are considering risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) often strongly desire to keep their nipple areola complex but inquire as to whether it is safe to do so. Relative to traditional or skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques, nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) is associated with improved psychosocial and sexual well-being and is significantly better for body image and reducing feelings of disfigurement. Despite this, guidelines have yet to endorse the use of NSM over other RRM techniques, stating that more data and longer follow-up are needed to confirm it as a safe and effective strategy in GPV carriers. As NSM was not routinely adopted in high-risk patient populations undergoing RRM before 2010, there has been little data to inform the long-term oncologic safety of NSM. Well-designed studies have reported low to negligible rates of subsequent breast cancer in BRCA1/2 carriers following NSM, but have been limited by short median follow-up of less than 3 years. The current study is designed to confirm, with longer follow-up, prior findings on the oncologic safety of NSM in unaffected BRCA1/2 carriers. The investigators will also expand data to other high-penetrance GPV carriers, including PALB2, CDH1, PTEN, and TP53, for whom there is little-to-no data on outcomes following RRM.

This study will compare the effects on myopia progression over the course of one year for eyes wearing MiSight 1 Day contact lenses compared to ACUVUE OASYS for PRESBYOPIA contact lenses.

IVF 'add-ons' are extra procedures, techniques, or medicines offered alongside standard IVF treatments, often marketed to improve success rates. Examples include EmbryoGlue, endometrial scratching, and acupuncture. However, most lack clear evidence of effectiveness or safety. Despite this, over 80% of Australian IVF patients use add-ons, sometimes paying thousands of dollars. Patients often rely on clinic websites and online forums for information, but these sources frequently exaggerate benefits while omitting information about costs and risks. There is no independent, evidence-based resource in Australia to guide decision-making, a gap recognized by both patients and government reports. To address this, the investigators developed "Evidence-Based IVF (EBI)," a new website informed by patient decision aid standards, expertise in digital health and risk communication, and co-design sessions with IVF patients and professionals. The investigators now plan to evaluate how well it helps patients understand the evidence base for IVF add-ons.
