"Being able to participate in games and activities with their friends" is one of the things that matters most to boys with haemophilia. At present, there is a lack of robust evidence to determine whether muscle strengthening exercise can improve or negatively affect outcomes for young children with haemophilia. With the help of boys with haemophilia, their parents and physiotherapists the investigators have developed an exercise programme designed to increase muscle strength. Using this intervention the investigators will undertake a single-blinded, two-arm pragmatic randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a 12-week intervention verses usual care of boys with haemophilia aged 6-12 years of age.

This is a 2-part, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK of RTA 901 in qualified subjects with DPNP. Each study part will be randomized into 3 treatment arms; 2 different doses of RTA 901 and a Placebo. The doses of RTA 901 in Part 2 will be selected based on the Exposure-Response (E-R) analyses of data from Part 1. A total of 384 subjects will be randomized in this study. Each part will have 192 subjects, with 64 subjects randomized 1:1:1 to each treatment arm. The duration of each part of the study will be approximately 20 weeks, including a Screening Period of up to 2 weeks, a Run-in Period of 2 weeks, a Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 4 weeks. All subjects in Part 1 and Part 2 of the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Eligibility will be assessed during the Screening and Run-in Periods.

To determine the efficacy of reduced elective nodal radiation in anal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation in reducing toxicity compared to standard nodal irradiation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a stress reduction program called Resilience, Stress, and Ethnicity (RiSE) improves well-being, inflammation, and the epigenome in African American (AA) women who have risk factors for heart or metabolic disease. The main question it aims to answer is whether an intervention that integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies focused on the impact that social stress, such as racism, has on the body, racial identity development, and empowerment. Participants will placed in one of the two following groups: The RiSE program will focus on teaching participants how to reduce their stress levels and will meet online weekly for approximately 2 hours each week for 8 consecutive weeks. The Health Education program will include education on how to improve general health and will meet online weekly for approximately 2 hours each week for 8 consecutive weeks. Participants will provide saliva to measure cytokines and DNA methylation (DNAm), complete questionnaires, and have blood pressure, heart rate, and weight measured at the following clinic visits: Prior to starting the intervention Mid-way through the intervention (Week 4) End of the intervention (Week 8) Six (6) months after the completion of the intervention

The objectives are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Dressing Kit for wound bed preparation in open wounds with extensive soft tissue damage in this trial.

A Phase 1 Open-Label, Single Arm Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Intravitreally Administered VP-001 in Participants with Confirmed PRPF31 Mutation-Associated Retinal Dystrophy

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy on laboratory improvement in the form of changes in blood nicotine, radiological changes in the form of nerve connectivity on post-therapy frontostriatal fMRI examination and clinical changes in the form of abstinence, withdrawal symptoms and cravings in adult smoker.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination of venetoclax and HAA regimen in young, newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia patients under the age of 60.

Objectives Acute cholecystitis commonly occurs in elderly patients who are at high-risk for surgery. Whether upfront Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is advantageous over antibiotics first for mild acute cholecystitis is uncertain. Hypothesis to be tested The aim is to compare EUS-GBD versus standard protocol (antibiotics first) as a definitive treatment, in very high-risk patients suffering from mild to moderate acute cholecystitis. We hypothesize that EUS-GBD can reduce the 1-year risk of recurrent acute cholecystitis. Design and subjects This is an international randomised controlled study including consecutive patients suffering from acute cholecystitis that are very high-risk for cholecystectomy. The patients would be randomized to receive EUS-GBD or antibiotics first. Interventions: EUS-GBD versus antibiotics Main outcome measures: The primary outcome is the rate of recurrent acute cholecystitis in 1 year. Other outcomes include technical and clinical success, post-procedural pain scores, analgesic requirements, adverse events, re-admissions, re-interventions, quality of life and cost analysis. Data analysis All outcomes would be analysed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test will be used to compare differences in recurrent acute cholecystitis in 1 year. A health economic analysis will also be performed. Assuming a 17.1% difference in recurrent acute cholecystitis rates, a 2-sided P value of 0.05, a power of 80%, and a 10% dropout rate, 110 patients is required. Expected results The findings of this study can help establish the role of EUS-GBD in management of high-risk patients suffering from acute cholecystitis over antibiotics alone and Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage.

This is an open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with CT0594CP CAR-T Cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia
