The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of an implant for severe emphysema in up to 30 participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it safe? Does it work? Participants who meet eligibility criteria will have up to two procedures 30 days apart, in which up to 3 implants will be placed in each lung during the procedure(s). Participants will be asked to return for follow-up visits at 30 days, and 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure(s).

Safety and Efficacy of BION-1301 in Adults with IgA Nephropathy

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel immunotherapy candidate, tobemstomig, in combination with nab-paclitaxel, for patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic (Stage IV) programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

The goal is to expand a parent-mediated intervention for feeding challenges in children with autism with an Australian cohort, building on recent research and current successful models already being used. A parent-mediated intervention would primarily occur in the home environment, working with the parent to establish goals and implement the intervention based on their child's specific needs.

In a recent international substudy of START (Study of Initiation of ART in Early HIV Infection), we found that people with HIV (PHIV) who initiate ART with CD4+ T cells \> 800 cells/µL achieve a substantially smaller HIV reservoir on ART, as measured by the frequency of CD4+ T cells containing HIV DNA, compared to individuals who commence ART with CD4 counts between 500-599 and 600-799 cells/µL. We have termed these individuals 'HI-ARTs' (very High CD4 prior to ART). Smaller reservoirs have also been noted in PHIV who achieve a CD4 count greater than 1000 cells/µL within 48 months of initiation of ART who are referred to as 'Hypers'. This study will establish a prospective cohort of HI-ARTs and Hypers at Alfred Health and our clinical partners. It will characterise the HIV reservoir and HIV-specific immune responses in these individuals and compare these to age-matched HIV positive controls from the Alfred HIV clinic, who have CD4+ T cells between 500-800 cells/uL, or who do not reconstitute their CD4+ T cells to greater than 1000 cells/uL within 48 months. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at baseline, and pending initial analyses, again at month 12 and 24.

Aim The aim of the proposed RCT is to determine effectiveness of a strategy, where MAP (mean arterial blood pressure) targets during vasopressor therapy for shock in ICU are individualized based on patients' own pre-illness MAP that would be derived as an average of up to five most recent pre-illness blood pressure readings. Hypothesis We hypothesize that targeting a patient's pre-illness MAP during management of shock can minimize the degree of MAP-deficit (a measure of relative hypotension), which may help reduce the risk of 14-day mortality and major adverse kidney events by day 14 in ICU. Endpoints The primary endpoint will be the all-cause mortality rate at day 14. Secondary endpoints will be the time to death through day 14 and day 90, major adverse kidney events (MAKE-14), renal replacement therapy (RRT) free days until day 28, and 90-day all-cause mortality. Significance To date no major RCT has tested this strategy among ICU patients with shock. This pivotal trial will provide evidence to fulfil a crucial knowledge gap regarding a common and a fundamental intervention in critical care.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In people with RVO, a blood vessel that carries blood away from the retina (vein) becomes blocked. The retina is the very back part of the eye. The blocked vein causes fluid and blood to leak into the retina and thereby causes a swelling of the macula (the center of the retina responsible for fine vision). This swelling is called macular edema. When a vein in the retina is blocked, the levels of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) rises. VEGF helps the growth of new blood vessels. This can lead to macular edema and may cause the vision to become blurry. The study treatment intravitreal (IVT) aflibercept is given as an injection into the eye. It works by blocking VEGF and this can help repair vision problems related to RVO. IVT aflibercept is already available and is prescribed by doctors as the standard of care treatment for macula edema secondary to RVO. Standard of care is a treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate for a disease. Standard of care is given every 4 weeks in people with macula edema secondary to RVO. While repeated injections of aflibercept may prevent worsening of vision, it may place a burden on the patient. However, a higher amount (8 mg) compared to the standard of care (2 mg) of IVT aflibercept is being tested in studies. This higher amount could be given less often. The amount of IVT aflibercept given is measured in milligrams, also known as mg. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well a higher amount of the study treatment aflibercept works in people with macular edema secondary to RVO. To answer this, researchers will measure changes in vision called best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the study participants between study start and after 36 weeks of treatment. Changes will then be compared between those participants who received the higher amount of IVT aflibercept and those that received standard of care. To learn how safe the study treatment is in the participants, the researchers will count the number of participants from study start and up to 64 weeks later that have: * adverse events * serious adverse events "Adverse events" are any medical problems that the participants have during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. An adverse event is considered "serious" when it leads to death, puts the participants' lives at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems or is otherwise medically important. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either receive the higher amount of aflibercept or standard of care as an intravitreal injection for up to 60 weeks. The study will consist of a test (screening) phase, a treatment phase and an end of study phase. Each participant will be in the study for up to 64 weeks. One visit to the study site is planned during the screening phase, followed by visits approximately every 4 weeks (16 in total) during treatment and one visit at the end of the study. During the study, the study doctors and their team will: * check patients' eye health using various eye examination techniques * measure patients' eye vision (BCVA) * take blood and urine samples * do physical examinations * check vital signs * examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) * do pregnancy tests in women of childbearing age In addition, participants will be asked to fill a questionnaire on vision-related quality of life.

This was a Phase 2 study in adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SAR442970 compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the amount of time before disease progression can be prolonged in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (MCRPC) who receive lorigerlimab in addition to the standard of care (SOC) of docetaxel and prednisone. About 150 participants with mCRPC will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive lorigerlimab with docetaxel and prednisone (experimental arm) or docetaxel and prednisone alone (standard-of-care arm). Lorigerlimab+docetaxel or docetaxel will be administered intravenously (IV) in clinic on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Prednisone will be administered orally twice daily. Lorigerlimab will be administered for up to 35 cycles. Docetaxel and prednisone will be administered up to 10 cycles until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. Participants will undergo regular testing for signs of disease progression using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their health and well-being. Routine examinations and blood tests will be performed and evaluated by the study doctor. Participants who have disease progression standard-of-care arm have the option of continuing on the study to receive lorigerlimab monotherapy.
