Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the abnormal growth of new blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye called the retina. Geographic Atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of dry AMD. The purpose of this study is to assess the adverse events and how intravitreal ABBV-6628 moves through the body of adult participants with secondary to age-related macular degeneration ABBV-6628 is an investigational monoclonal antibody fragment being developed for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to (AMD) age-related macular degeneration. Participants in the Stage 1 part will be placed in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Participants in Stage 2 will be placed into 1 of 2 groups. Each group receives different treatment. Adult participants aged 50 and older years with a diagnosis GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration will be enrolled. Around 66 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 27 sites across the US. Participants in Stage 1 will be given ABBV-6628 as an intravitreal injection (injection into the jelly-like tissue that fills the eyeball injection) with dose escalation. Participants in Stage 2 will receive ABBV-6628 or SYFOVRE, an approved treatment for geographic atrophy, administered as per the FDA-approved label. The treatment duration is approximately 22 months and 3 months of follow-up. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular weekly visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, GS-5319, its dosing, safety and tolerability in adults with solid tumors, where the participants show a specific gene alteration in the tumor. The gene helps produce methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) enzyme. MTAP enzyme helps in normal growth of cells. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of GS-5319 in participants with methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP)-deleted advanced solid tumors and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended dose for expansion (RDE).

The overall goal of this Phase 2 study is to determine the efficacy of a lower dose weekly schedule of doxorubicin in patients with unresectable leiomyosarcomas aged 65-100 years old. While doxorubicin is the standard of care therapy for sarcomas not removable by surgery, older or more frail patients may struggle to tolerate side effects of the treatment including immune cell suppression. Previous studies have suggested that similar anti-tumor activity can be obtained using a lower dose, weekly administration schedule of doxorubicin. In this study, the investigators will determine progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks, with secondary endpoints including quality of life and adverse events in this population. Importantly, doxorubicin can also induce immune stimulatory effects when administered at lower doses, based on animal data. Thus, correlative samples including blood and tumor biopsies will also explore the effects of immune cells and foreignness of the tumor prior to and during treatment in study patients.

This clinical trial tests how well a psychosocial oncology intervention with standard prehabilitation during neoadjuvant therapy works for patients with pancreatic cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized). Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy prior to surgery, is known as neoadjuvant therapy (NT). The advantages of therapy before surgery include: reducing the size of the cancer mass and/or reducing the spread of cancer, to improve the chance of getting all the cancer during surgery. Other research has shown that doing treatments in this order does lead to improved survival and a lower rate of the cancer returning. Even though there are positives, patients are dealing with emotional and physical symptoms of waiting until the therapies are done to get to surgery. To prepare patients for recovering after chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to be ready for surgery, care teams have started prehabilitation programs. Prehabilitation includes exercise therapy and nutrition (healthy diet) support before going to surgery. This program has helped boost patients' strength to complete therapies, reduce the number of days in the hospital after surgery and support healing. While meeting with psychologists is available, researchers would like to see if combining it earlier during treatments may provide better support. An oncology (cancer) psychologist while undergoing cancer treatments before surgery may be feasible and helpful to patients with localized pancreatic cancer.

Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune condition that causes the skin to lose its color. The body's germ-fighting system (immune system) mistakenly attacks the skin cells (melanocytes) which produce the pigment that gives the skin color (melanin). This leads to the formation of patches of skin with less or no pigment (depigmentation). These patches can occur anywhere on the body. In the nonsegmental form of vitiligo, similar patches occur on both sides of the body (symmetrical patches). The main aim of this study is to learn how safe zasocitinib is, how well it works and how well it is tolerated by adults with nonsegmental vitiligo. The participants will receive the study treatment (either zasocitinib or placebo) for up to 1 year (52 weeks). The placebo looks like the zasocitinib capsule but does not have any medicine in it. Participants who receive placebo at the beginning will change to zasocitinib after about 6 months. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 11 times.

This study is open to children aged 2 to 17 with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called empagliflozin helps children and adolescents with CKD. Other goals of the study are to find out how empagliflozin is tolerated and handled by the body in children and adolescents with CKD. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes empagliflozin and the other group takes placebo. Placebo looks like empagliflozin but does not contain any medicine. Participants are twice as likely to be in the empagliflozin group. Participants take empagliflozin or placebo as tablets once a day for 6 months. After 6 months, participants in both groups take empagliflozin as tablets once a day for 1 year. Participants are in the study for a little over a year and a half. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times and get at least 5 phone or video calls from the site staff. At the visits, the doctors take blood and urine samples from the participants. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The purpose of this research trial is to evaluate the effect of two types of washing solutions on wound healing after total hip replacement surgery. Washing solutions are used routinely during total hip replacements to clean the wound after the components have been placed and the wound is about to be closed with sutures. It is currently not known which washing solution may be better for wound healing and whether a certain solution decreases the risk of wound healing complications after total hip replacement. Therefore, this research trial is being conducted. Study participants will be randomized into one of two groups: washing the surgical wound with povidone-iodine solution (Surgiphor, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) or chlorhexidine solution (Irrisept, Irrimax Corporation, Lawrenceville, GA). All patients will undergo standard of care total hip replacements without any other change in surgery. The best type of solution that cleans the wound and potentially leads to better wound healing is unknown. This study will evaluate whether there is difference in surgical wound healing between the two washing solutions. The study will pay for the washing solutions. Patients will follow up for standard postoperative visits. At the 2-week and 6-week visits, pictures of the surgical incision will be taken and saved in the electronic medical record and evaluated in a standardized way for healing of the incision and the appearance of the scar. Postoperative complications and returns to the hospital or additional surgeries will be collected from the electronic medical record.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the long-term safety, tolerability and effects of the study medicine (PF-07868489) for the possible treatment of PAH. PAH is a condition in which there is high blood pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. This high pressure makes it harder for the heart to pump blood through those lungs, potentially damaging the right side of the heart. This is an open-label study. Which means that both the healthcare providers and the study participants are aware of the medicine being given. This study is also an extension study with study medicine (PF-07868489). An extension study allows patients from an earlier clinical study (also called as qualifying study) to continue participating to assess long-term benefits and safety of the medicine.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine). This study will assess how Risankizumab moves through the body as well as how safe and effective it is in treating pediatric participants with moderate to severely active UC. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Risankizumab is an approved medication for moderate to severe UC in multiple countries and is being developed for the treatment of UC in pediatrics. This study is comprised of 3 cohorts that may participate in 3 substudies (SS). Cohort 1 will enroll participants with ages from 6 to less than 18 years. Cohort 2 will enroll participants with ages from 2 to less than 6 years. Cohort 3 will enroll participants with ages from 2 to less than 18 years. SS1 is an open-label induction period where participants will receive a weight-based induction regimen of risankizumab. SS2 is a double-blind maintenance period where participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 2 doses of weight-based maintenance regimen of risankizumab. SS3 is an open-label extension period where participants will receive risankizumab based off of their response in SS2. Around 120 pediatric participants with UC will be enrolled at around 80 sites worldwide. Participants in SS1 will receive risankizumab intravenously during the 12-week induction period. Participants in SS2 will receive risankizumab subcutaneously during the 52-week randomized maintenance period. Participants in SS3 will receive risankizumab subcutaneously during the 208-week open label period. Participants will be followed-up for approximately 140 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This study will compare two different methods to pace the heart to treat heart failure including: 1. The current standard method of implanting a pacing lead in a vein on the surface of the left lower chamber of the heart (left ventricle) to deliver heart failure therapy. This method is called Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). 2. The other method is using a lead implanted in the Left Bundle Branch Area (LBBA) of your heart. This method is called Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or LBBAP. This lead is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be implanted in this area of the heart, but not to provide heart failure treatment.

This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure. The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called vicadrostat, when taken with empagliflozin, helps reduce cardiovascular risk in people with these conditions. The study will compare this combination to a placebo version of vicadrostat with empagliflozin. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets with empagliflozin. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once per day for 2 and a half years and up to 4 years and 3 months. All participants also continue their medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Participants have an equal chance of receiving the study medicine or placebo. Participants are in the study for up to 4 years and 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. During these visits, doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples. The doctors document when participants experience cardiovascular events. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
