The study compares two lengths of medication therapy (a shortened versus a prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy) in order to prevent thrombus (blood cloth) formation after the successfully treatment for coronary heart disease with a drug covered stent (metallic tube). This comparison will be done in patients who, compared to the average patient, are more likely to suffer from complications on antiplatelet therapy (bleeding). Both durations are within the current medical recommendations. The aim of this study is to help improve further standard antiplatelet duration guidelines.

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to report the long term survival and incidence of adverse events in the patients who were implanted with HM3 in the CE Mark Study and continue to be ongoing with the HeartMate 3 LVAS after the CE Mark Study 2 year follow-up. The study will be a single arm, prospective, multi-center, non-blinded and non-randomized study, intended to report on the long term use of the HeartMate 3 LVAS in those patients that completed the 2-year follow-up in the HeartMate 3 CE Mark study.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intravenous doses of SPR741 when administered to healthy adult volunteers.

Individuals receiving dialysis are at risk of heart failure and heart related death. There is an urgent need for treatments that reduce the risk of these problems in patients that require dialysis. Spironolactone is a pill used to prevent heart failure and related deaths in patients that do not require dialysis. It works by blocking a hormone (aldosterone) in your body that causes high blood pressure and can damage the heart. Although spironolactone is very effective in patients that do not require dialysis, we do not know if spironolactone is effective in dialysis patients. Our research will help determine if spironolactone reduces heart failure and heart related deaths in dialysis patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if spironolactone reduces death or hospitalization for heart failure and is well tolerated in patients that require dialysis.

This multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study will assess the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab administered at a dose of 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) every 4 weeks in participants with hemophilia A with or without inhibitors against factor VIII (FVIII). The study consists of 2 parts: a pharmacokinetic (PK) run-in part followed by an expansion part.

Muscle wasting is a significant problem in critically ill patients, with reported losses of a half to three percent per day over the first ten days (for an average 70kg person this equates to 3 to 20kg of muscle loss). Low skeletal muscle mass at admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the loss of lean tissue have been associated with negative clinical outcomes, including increased incidence of infections, length of stay, mortality and muscle weakness. It is therefore crucial that technology is utilised to: 1) identify ICU patients with low muscularity on admission, 2) to help understand the factors impacting muscle loss and to 3) assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at maintaining skeletal muscle mass in this population. The measurement of lean body mass in patients admitted to the ICU is challenging however, due to the large fluid shifts that occur in this population and logistical issues in moving patients to specialised machinery for body composition analysis. Currently, there is no validated method for accurately assessing a patient's muscle mass at the bedside in the intensive care setting. It is therefore important to investigate the accuracy, feasibility and reliability of bedside methods such as subjective physical assessment of muscle mass, mid arm muscle circumference, ultrasound and bioimpedance analysis to assess muscularity in this population who are primarily bedbound. In order to do this, a critical comparison is required between these methods and muscularity assessed by a "reference" body composition method, such computed tomography (CT) image analysis. Briefly, quantification of skeletal muscle at the abdomen area utilising abdominal CT images has been shown to be highly representative of whole body skeletal muscle volume. We wish to conduct a pilot, feasibility study (n= 50), which will recruit patients who have a CT scan (containing abdomen area), performed for clinical purposes. Our primary aim will be to investigate whether muscularity assessed with non-invasive bedside methods (ultrasound, bioimpedance analysis, SGA physical assessment, mid arm muscle circumference) are correlated with skeletal muscle mass quantified by a "reference method" (CT image analysis).

This international, multi-center, Phase 2/3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The Phase 2 portion of the trial will be open-label and enroll up to 30 patients. The Phase 3 portion of the trial will be double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled and will enroll up to 180 patients.

This is an open label switch over study to assess the safety and efficacy of PRX-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa). Patients treated with agalsidase alfa for at least 2 years and on a stable dose (\>80% labelled dose/kg) for at least 6 months. Patients will be screened and evaluated over 3 months while continuing on agalsidase alfa. Following the screening period, the patient will be enrolled and switched from their agalsidase alfa treatment to receive intravenous (IV) infusions of PRX-102 1 mg/kg every two weeks for 12 months. No more than 25% of treated patients will be female.

: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) simplex is a rare orphan disease caused by a mutation in DNA leading to abnormal dominant keratins in the skin. Patients with EB simplex develop lifelong painful thick soles on their feet, and current standard of care is supportive. This pilot study will target the dominant mutant keratin proteins in the skin to ameliorate the severity of EB simplex. The purpose is to improve the function of EB simplex feet with an application of topical sirolimus, 2%. The investigators plan on inhibiting the mTOR pathway to down regulate the translation of defective keratin proteins and work through anti proliferative pathways.

This Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 \[anti-PD-L1\] antibody) in combination with enzalutamide compared with enzalutamide alone in participants with mCRPC after failure of an androgen synthesis inhibitor (e.g., abiraterone) and failure of, ineligibility for, or refusal of a taxane regimen. Participants will be randomized to one of the two treatment arms (atezolizumab in combination with enzalutamide, and enzalutamide alone) in a 1:1 ratio (experimental to control arm) in global randomized phase. Participants will receive treatment until investigator-assessed confirmed radiographic disease progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria or unacceptable toxicity.
