A Study of BGB-16673 Compared to Investigator's Choice in Participants With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Previously Exposed to Both Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) and B-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma 2 Protein (BCL2) Inhibitors
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a type of blood cancer that affects people around the world. People with CLL suffer from enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or liver, or have symptoms like night sweats, weight loss and fever. They have shorter life expectancy compared to healthy people. There is an urgent need for new treatment to prolong life and control disease-related symptoms. In this study, participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL who were previously exposed to a BTKi and a BCL2i will receive BGB-16673 or the investigator's choice of idelalisib plus rituximab (for CLL only) or bendamustine plus rituximab or venetoclax plus rituximab retreatment. The main purpose of this study is to compare the length of time that participants live without their CLL or SLL worsening between those participants who receive BGB-16673 versus the investigator's choice of treatment (idelalisib plus rituximab or bendamustine plus rituximab, or venetoclax plus rituximab). Approximately 250 participants will be included in this study around the world. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either BGB-16673 or the investigator's choice of treatment.

Multi-omics Study in Citrin Deficiency
Citrin deficiency (CD) is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic condition that is also a secondary urea cycle disorder caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene, which encodes for the mitochondrial transporter, citrin. Citrin is a key component of the mitochondrial malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS) and is responsible for moving Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) from the cytosol into the mitochondria via reducing equivalents such as malate, which drives mitochondrial respiration to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The MAS is also critical in regulating Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) redox balance to maintain cytosolic redox-dependent metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Citrin is also required to supply cytosolic aspartate, which is the substrate of one of the urea cycle enzymes, namely argininosuccinate synthetase 1, and thus important for the proper functioning of the urea cycle. The clinical presentations of citrin deficiency often vary widely between patients but can generally be distinguished by distinct clinical phenotypes, which are neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) that affects infants, the "failure to thrive and dyslipidemia" form of CD (FTTDCD) in childhood, the adaptation or silent period, and citrullinemia type II (CTLN2), which represents the most severe form of the condition. While only a small percentage of CD patients develop CTLN2, the prognosis for these patients is typically poor. It is notable that all CD patients above 1 year old (post-NICCD) naturally develop a characteristic food preference that favors a diet rich in protein and fat while being low in carbohydrates. Other clinical findings observed in some CD patients include fatty liver, fatigue, hypoglycemia, and failure to thrive. There is currently no effective cure for CD. Before the onset of CTLN2, patients are primarily managed by diet control with a low carbohydrate, high protein and high-fat diet, as well as medium chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation. CTLN2 patients have been treated with sodium pyruvate, arginine, and MCT with limited success, with severe cases requiring liver transplantation as the only solution. There are currently no specific biomarkers that effectively track the disease progression, making it challenging to monitor how well patients are actually doing or to measure the effectiveness of therapies. Without proper management or timely medical interventions, patients may develop CTLN2. Given the urgent and unmet need for biomarkers specific to CD, the main goal of this study is to uncover disease-specific biomarkers by analyzing blood samples collected from CD patients using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics. Targeted omics will involve the analysis of cellular pathways associated with the condition, such as the MAS pathway, glycolysis, protein metabolism, de novo lipogenesis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, NAD+ metabolism, ureagenesis, and the glutamine synthetase pathway. Identification of such biomarkers will allow a deeper understanding of the disease pathogenesis. Importantly, these biomarkers may enable better tracking of disease progression and may help to prevent the onset of CTLN2. Finally, these biomarkers will also greatly benefit the development of effective therapeutic options for CD in clinical trials by serving as measurable endpoints. Obtaining the necessary material from patients consists of a minimally invasive venous blood sampling taken during a regular outpatient visit and after the informed consent of the patients or caretakers.

Japanese Coronary Intervention Using Drug Eluting and Perfusion Therapy for Left Main Disease (JDEPTH-LM Registry)
JDEPTH-LM Registry is a prospective observational multi-center study. The investigators will enroll and treat patients in the registry who meet the selection criteria under usual care and for whom PCI with W-KBT following on crossover stenting for LMT-LAD direction, proximal optimization technique (POT), and conventional kissing balloon technique (C-KBT) is the optimal treatment. The operators shall obtain oral or written consent from patients who meet the criteria before performing PCI, indicating the intention to perform PCI with W-KBT, and shall keep records. The investigators will continuously register cases attempting PCI with W-KBT according to the protocol and evaluate its efficacy and safety using data from this multi-center registry.
