In current clinical practice, women with biopsy proven breast cancer can be sent for breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) prior to surgery in order to delineate the extent of a known cancer and / or assess for the presence of occult secondary cancers. This study seeks to compare the global costs (based on actual reimbursement rates) of CEM/breast MRI, downstream imaging testing, and diagnostic procedures in women randomized to breast MRI versus CEM. Secondary goals are to compare patient preferences for CEM vs MRI and clinically relevant outcomes (e.g. conversion from lumpectormy to mastecomy).

The GUIDE-HF IDE clinical trial is intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of the CardioMEMS™ HF System in an expanded patient population including heart failure (HF) patients outside of the present indication, but at risk for future HF events or mortality.

Type: Interventional

Start Date: Mar 2018

open study

Patients will be randomized to either receive virtual reality headsets in the post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) as an adjunct therapy or undergo routine postoperative management. Pain scores will be recorded at standardized intervals in the PACU. The patient will be asked to complete a survey at their two week post op visit assessing their satisfaction with their post op recovery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a virtual reality relaxation program used in the immediate postoperative period after laparoscopic hysterectomy will decrease pain scores and reduce both oral and intravenous opioid consumption.

This ALCHEMIST trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes.

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) via a transfemoral approach in HF patients with moderate AS as compared with OHFT.

This multi-center, open-label, 2 arm parallel-group, randomized, interventional prospective exploratory study in 40 patients aimed to evaluate safety and explore putative clinical benefits of Silmitasertib 1000 mg BID dose in patients with severe illness caused be SARS-COV-2. This will be a two-arm trial comparing the SOC/best supportive care alone to the SOC/best supportive care with addition of Silmitasertib (allocation ratio 1:1).

The XEN1101 Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of increasing doses of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive treatment in adult patients diagnosed with focal epilepsy, followed by an optional open-label extension (OLE).

Type: Interventional

open study

TARGET-NASH is a longitudinal observational cohort study of patients being managed for NAFL or NASH in usual clinical practice. TARGET-NASH will create a research registry of patients with NAFL or NASH within academic and community real-world practices in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies.

Type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The SynCardia 70cc temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAH-t) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a bridge to transplant for patients at risk of imminent (about to happen) death from irreversible biventricular heart failure. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether the TAH-t can support patients with life-threatening irreversible biventricular heart failure who are not eligible for transplantation. The TAH-t, when used for patients who are not eligible for transplant, is considered to be an investigational (not approved by FDA) use. This use is called destination therapy (DT). Nineteen (19) patients with life-threatening, biventricular failure who are not eligible for cardiac transplant will be enrolled in the Primary Arm of the study and followed for up to six months post-TAH-t implant. Safety will be evaluated by reviewing the adverse events that are experienced by the enrolled subjects and comparing them to previous experience of TAH-t patients who were waiting for a heart transplant. Since approximately 74% of patients with this condition would not be expected to live beyond six months, the benefit of the TAH-t for DT will be confirmed based on survival to six months without experiencing permanent disabling stroke-related deficits. After the six month follow-up visit, patients will continue to be followed under the study for up to five (5) years postTAH-t implant [every six months for up to two years while supported with the TAH-t implant and then annually for another three years]. Up to an additional 19 patients may be enrolled in the Secondary Arm of the study to further characterize the use of the TAH-t for DT in a broader patient population. Follow-up would be the same for patients enrolled in both arms of the study.

With the limited evidence that lower pneumoperitoneum pressures improve postoperative pain in laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for benign indications, we would like to determine if we can both further validate this idea but also show that it has minimal effect on physician satisfaction performing the surgery.
