The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

This randomized phase III trial studies digital tomosynthesis mammography and digital mammography in screening patients for breast cancer. Screening for breast cancer with tomosynthesis mammography may be superior to digital mammography for breast cancer screening and may help reduce the need for additional imaging or treatment.

Carotid revascularization for primary prevention of stroke (CREST-2) is two independent multicenter, randomized controlled trials of carotid revascularization and intensive medical management versus medical management alone in patients with asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis. One trial will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to endarterectomy versus no endarterectomy and another will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to carotid stenting with embolic protection versus no stenting. Medical management will be uniform for all randomized treatment groups and will be centrally directed.

To establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) who have been determined to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery by the Heart Team, and in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) on guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT)

This is a prospective, observational, pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility of heart transplantation using normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) donation after donor circulatory death (DCD). Adults who meet standard criteria for heart transplantation listing and study-specific eligibility criteria will enroll in the study. the investigators anticipate evaluating an initial cohort of approximately 100 DCD donors for a final yield of 40 hearts. The investigators will accept donors between the ages of 18 and 65 who are determined to have heart function/quality appropriate for donation for transplantation based on available donor data and testing. If feasible, donors might be relocated to BUMCP to maintain uniformity of process, minimize cold ischemic time, and allow for more rapid and improved communication during the initial pilot phase. Recipients will be selected based on blood group, crossmatch, size match, and clinical stability per standard allocation practices. Recipients will be followed post-transplantation per BUMCP Heart Transplant standard protocol.

Apex-2 is a multi-site, parallel group, randomized trial. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the Experimental Arm or the Control Arm. The objective of the study is to evaluate safety and determine efficacy of the VT-X7 system. Efficacy is evaluated as superiority of the Experimental Arm in a composite endpoint of Overall Success at 180 days, consisting of a revision prosthesis implanted at Stage 2, absence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), absence of continued antibiotic therapy for treatment or prophylaxis of PJI, absence of revision surgery and absence of mortality. Secondary objectives are to evaluate overall success at 365 days, overall safety of the VT-X7 procedure, quality of life (QoL), and patient survival. The exploratory objective is to compare Experimental and Control Arms in exploratory endpoints. Follow-up: Patients will be evaluated at 90-, 180-, and 365-day follow-up visits.

The objective of the ADVANTAGE AF Study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System (FARAPULSE PFA System) for treatment of drug resistant, symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF).

This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2 positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors, and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1 and tucatinib may work better in preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer compared to T-DM1 alone.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip™ device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team.

To establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Repair System in patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation who have been determined to be at an intermediate or greater estimated risk of mortality with tricuspid valve surgery by the cardiac surgeon with concurrence by the local Heart Team

Multi-center, open-label, prospective, randomized clinical trial of the aura6000(R) System for the reduction of apnea and hypopneas in adult patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have failed or are unwilling to use positive airway pressure treatment.

open study

This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation.

ALTA is a multicenter consortium focused on the management of portal hypertension. ALTA TIPS is a longitudinal observational study of patients who are undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. ALTA will create a database that will provide clinical parameters and outcomes of patients undergoing TIPS as part of their standard of care in hopes of answering key clinical questions.

This study aims to better understand the role that narcotic vs. non-narcotic multimodal pain management play in patients' pain following bariatric surgery (Laproscopic Surgery and Robotic Assisted Surgery). Participation in this study will last approximately 90 days following surgery. During that 90 day period, participants will be asked to report pain and nausea every 4 hours to a study coordinator or nurse while they are recovering in the hospital. Following discharge from the hospital patients will be asked to report pain, nausea, and any medical changes 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days from surgical date. The procedures and medications used in this study are FDA approved medical therapies and are part of Standard of Care for this population. This study aims to therapeutically investigate efficacy of the proposed pain management regimens. The procedures and individual medications are not the subject of research as they are considered routine well established and documented interventions for obesity and the treatment of post operative pain.
