The purpose of the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT) Trial is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MitraClip System for the treatment of moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in Symptomatic Heart Failure Subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to strengthen or add labeling claims regarding safety and clinical benefits of the MitraClip System for symptomatic heart failure patients with moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation. Approximately 610 subjects will be randomized at up to 100 investigational sites with approximately 305 subjects targeted to receive the study device. COAPT study completed recruiting subjects in June 2017. As part of the COAPT trial, a subset of patients will be registered in the cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) sub-study. The objective of this sub-study is to evaluate the exercise responses in a sub-cohort of COAPT subjects who receive MitraClip device (Device group) compared to the Control group who do not receive MitraClip device. (Note: the CPX Sub-study subjects will contribute to the analyses of the COAPT primary and secondary endpoints) As an extension of the COAPT RCT trial, COAPT CAS study will be conducted after COAPT enrollment is complete under the same investigational device exemption (IDE(G120024)). The objective of this study is to evaluate the MitraClip® NT System for the treatment of clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in symptomatic heart failure subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. The anticipated study Primary Completion date is July 2018 and the Study Completion Date is July 2024. COAPT CAS is presently recruiting subjects.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to treat the multiple basal cell carcinoma (BCC) skin cancers in children and adults with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (or who have at least 3 BCC tumors present). In addition, the investigators will test a hypothesis (based upon our extensive preclinical studies in mice) that induction of a transient spike in serum Vitamin D levels through administration of dietary Vitamin D (cholecalciferol; D3) can significantly increase PDT efficacy and improve the clearance of cutaneous BCC tumors.

open study

This study will examine how the uterus, abdominal wall, pelvic floor and brain interact during labor and parturition. It will uses electromyography (EMG) to compare the characteristics of the uterus, abdominal wall and perineum in subjects with and without various pregnancy characteristics. EMG will help established burst frequency and characteristics of the uterus compared to other parts of the body during labor and delivery. Other parts of the body may include abdominal surfaces (for uterine, abdominal, maternal EMG and fetal heart rate monitoring), perineal surface (for perineal muscles monitoring) and the maternal scalp (brain monitoring). EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain. The activity is recorded using wire electrodes attached to the scalp or mounted on a cap placed on the head. E MG measures electrical activity from muscles. It uses wire electrodes placed on the skin over the muscles. Pregnant adult volunteers and patients who present to the investigator's institution may be eligible for this study. Participants will lay or sit in a semi-reclining chair with sticker electrodes placed on the body surface area of interest. Muscle and/or brain activity will be measured with EEG and EMG recordings.
