Evaluation of the "Blue Halo Coil Catheter" for Patients With Prostatic Obstruction

The indication for use of the Blue Halo Coil Catheter is to facilitate bladder drainage in adult male patients with urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The device is inserted for temporary use up to 28 days. Study participants will have a history of Foley catheter use or self-catheterization to drain their bladder.Participants may include men in urinary retention with no prior intervention. The hypothesis is that the Blue Halo Coil Catheter will reduce the post void residual to <75 cc with volitional voiding. The Blue Halo Coil Catheter is comprised of a Coiled Retention portion with a guidewire accommodating tip, a short prostate catheter segment, and a pusher/delivery catheter segment, that when left in place allows for the temporary collection of urine prior to conversion to short segment without an external collection device. The tip of the Blue Halo Coil Catheter utilizes a horizontal coil retention device. A monofilament suture is attached to the prostate catheter segment to allow for ease of positioning and removal. The suture also allows for repositioning should the device slip back into the bladder.

Reducing Antimicrobial Overuse Through Targeted Therapy for Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of hospitalization and inpatient antimicrobial use in the United States. However, diagnostic uncertainty at the time of initial treatment and following negative cultures is associated with prolonged exposure to broad-spectrum antimicrobials. We propose a large multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial to test two approaches to reducing the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in adult patients with CAP a) routine use of rapid diagnostic testing at the time of admission and b) pharmacist -led de-escalation after 48 hours for clinically stable patients with negative cultures. When a patient is admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia, it will trigger the admission order set and if the physician is in a hospital randomized to the rapid diagnostic testing arm, a CDSS-based alert will be generated in real time, and the form will append orders for viral and UAT testing. For physicians at a hospital randomized to the control condition, ordering will proceed as usual (standard-of-care). A second CDSS algorithm will identify study patients who have negative culture results (blood and/or sputum) for greater than 48 hours and generate a list for the antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist, who will be a member of the study team. The alerts will be audited by the clinical pharmacist daily on weekdays at a centralized location. In clinically stable patients from hospitals randomized to the de-escalation arm, the pharmacist will communicate their recommendations for de-escalation to the clinical providers via a phone call, Epic chat, or page. The primary outcome will be the duration of exposure to broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy defined by the number of days of antibiotic therapy from initiation to discontinuation. Secondary outcomes will include detection of influenza/RSV, de-escalation and re-escalation to broad-spectrum antibiotics after de-escalation, total antibiotic duration, in-hospital mortality, ICU transfer after admission, healthcare-associated CDI and acute kidney injury after 48 hours.

Dipraglurant (ADX48621) for the Treatment of Patients With Parkinson's Disease Receiving Levodopa-based Therapy

Phase 3 Efficacy and Durability of Ampreloxetine for the Treatment of Symptomatic NOH in Participants with Multiple System Atrophy

Safety and Efficacy Study of Contezolid Acefosamil and Contezolid Compared to Linezolid Administered Intravenously and Orally to Adults With Moderate or Severe Diabetic Foot Infections (DFI)

Approximately 865 subjects (519 contezolid acefosamil/contezolid: 346 linezolid) will be enrolled with moderate or severe DFI that are confirmed or suspected to be due to a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen (MITT analysis set).

Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Patients With Previously Untreated Locally Advanced Inoperable or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

TAPUR: Testing the Use of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approved Drugs That Target a Specific Abnormality in a Tumor Gene in People With Advanced Stage Cancer

The Targeted Agent and Profiling Utilization Registry (TAPUR) Study is a non-randomized clinical trial that aims to describe the safety and efficacy of commercially available, targeted anticancer drugs prescribed for treatment of patients with advanced cancer that has a potentially actionable genomic variant. TAPUR will study Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved targeted therapies that are contributed by collaborating pharmaceutical companies, catalogue the choice of molecular profiling test by clinical oncologists and develop hypotheses for additional clinical trials.

MILD® Percutaneous Image-Guided Lumbar Decompression: A Medicare Claims Study

In this study the treatment group will include all patients receiving MILD, and the control group will include all patients receiving IPD for the treatment of LSS during the enrollment period. Reoperation and harms data will be studied for the MILD and IPD procedures for a 24-month follow-up period after the index procedure using Medicare claims data. This study is exempt from IRB oversight (Department of Health and Human Services regulations 45 CFR 46) and does not require prior enrollment nor patient consent. The inclusion of the study's NCT number on MILD Medicare claims is required and results in enrollment.

Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether adjuvant therapy with crizotinib will result in improved overall survival (OS) for patients with stage IB >= 4 cm, II and IIIA, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following surgical resection. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare disease-free survival (DFS) associated with crizotinib. II. To evaluate the safety profile of crizotinib when given in the adjuvant therapy setting. III. To collect tumor tissue and blood specimens for future research. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM A: Patients receive crizotinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients undergo observation. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months if < 4 or 5 years from study entry, and every 12 months if 5-10 or 6-10 years from study entry.

A Study to Learn About the Safety of BIIB091 and Its Effect on Brain Inflammation When Taken Alone or With Diroximel Fumarate (DRF) in Adults With Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

The primary objectives of this study are to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB091 monotherapy in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in Part 1 and to evaluate the effects of BIIB091 combination therapy with DRF compared with the DRF monotherapy arm on the key MRI measure of active central nervous system (CNS) inflammation in Part 2. The secondary objectives of Part 1 of the study are to evaluate the effects of BIIB091 monotherapy on the MRI measures of active CNS inflammation and to assess the effect of BIIB091 monotherapy on QTc and other ECG parameters. The secondary objectives of Part 2 are to evaluate the effects of BIIB091 combination therapy with DRF compared with the DRF monotherapy arm on additional MRI measures of active CNS inflammation, the safety and tolerability of BIIB091 combination therapy with DRF in participants with RMS, and the effect of BIIB091 combination therapy with DRF on QTc and other ECG parameters.
