Randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of the Supporting Tailored Adaptive change and Reinforcement for Medication Adherence Program (STAR-MAP), a health coaching approach that aims to improve antihypertensive medication adherence, blood pressure control, and quality of life. Participants (n=402) >=40 years old with a diagnosis of hypertension, uncontrolled blood pressure, and low antihypertensive medication adherence will be recruited through a statewide health insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, and randomized to receive either interactive health coaching sessions with medication reminder tools (intervention) or medication reminder tools only (control) over one year. Data will be collected from participants at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months using questionnaires, physical measurement (height, weight, blood pressure), a computer-based single-category implicit association test, and laboratory analysis of antihypertensive medication urinary metabolites.

open study

Patients are enrolled to screening (Reg Step 1) prior to or after ASCT but prior to Reg Step 2. Patients are followed until they will begin Maintenance and then registered to Reg Step 2 (first randomization). Patients are randomized between Lenalidomide for 2 years and Lenalidomide + Daratumumab/rHuPH20. After 2 years of Maintenance, MRD is assessed to guide further therapy. MRD-positive patients will continue with the assigned treatment. MRD-negative patients will be further randomized (Reg Step 3) to either continue or discontinue the assigned treatment. Patients are treated for up to 7 years from Step 2 reg and followed for up to 15 years.

The goal of this clinical trial is to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of HMB-001 in Participants with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Parts A, B, and C: To determine the safety and tolerability of HMB-001 - Part A: To establish the dose level(s) and dosing interval(s) of HMB-001 to be investigated in Parts B and C - Parts B and C: To estimate the ability of HMB-001 to prevent the number and severity of bleeds Part A will assess differing singular doses of HMB-001 in small groups of participants. The dose administered to a newly enrolled participant (or groups of participants) may only increase if analysis of data from previous dosing shows it is safe to do so. The planned duration of participation in Part A is approximately 6 months, which consists of a Screening Period, an optional Run-in Observation Period, and a follow-up period of 8 weeks. Part B is similar to Part A as it involves testing different dose levels of HMB-001 in small groups of participants. However, in Part B, HMB-001 is given multiple times over a 3-month period, either weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 4 weeks. Part B consists of a Screening Period, a Run-in Observation Period, a 3-month Treatment Period, and a Safety Follow-up following the last dose of HMB-001. Part C is open to participants from Part B and consists of approximately a 9-month Treatment Period and a Safety Follow-up following the last dose of HMB-001.

This trial will enroll patients with severe hemophilia A. Experiments will be run in vitro by spiking patients' blood with different molecules (currently used and theoretically proposed as adjunctive therapy to emicizumab), therefore no more than minimal direct risk to patients is expected. This is a pilot preclinical study.

The aim of the Correlation Of CoAGulation-Atrial Fibrillation (COAG-AF) study is to prove that an increase in pro-thrombotic biomarkers in AF is associated with an increase in AF burden. Secondary objectives of the study are the following: - To investigate the impact of catheter ablation on serum pro-thrombotic biomarkers in patients with AF. - To correlate coagulation biomarkers with imaging features such as, the degree of fibrosis found on Late Gadolinium Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (LGE-MRI) scans, which is a part of standard of care. - To determine baseline values of coagulation and pro-thrombotic biomarkers in the AF population and compare those baseline values with the general population values. - To compare central and peripheral thrombotic biomarkers in patients with atrial fibrillation.

The objective of this research is to evaluate a multi-module "color brave" app-based intervention for parents of children in K-2nd grade, that guides them in how to initiate and proactively engage their children in productive, critical discussions around race/racism and anti-racism. This study will recruit a national sample of parents and their K-2nd grade children. The impact of the intervention will be tested using a rigorous randomized wait-list controlled trial design. The design of the intervention is based on research indicating that among children, positive intergroup contact with outgroup members, including vicarious engagement, can prevent or reduce anti-outgroup bias, in particular, when contact is based on common goals, cooperation rather than competition, and supported by external authorities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, a mixed-methods design will be utilized involving collection of a broad range of outcome measures through online questionnaire surveys, one-on-one interviews with parents and children, and parent-child dyadic interviews.

This study will look at the effects of CagriSema on cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people living with cardiovascular disease. Participants will either get CagriSema or a dummy medicine (also called "placebo") which has no effect on the body. Which treatment participants will get will be decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting CagriSema or placebo is the same. Participants will inject the study medicine once a week. The study medicine will be injected briefly with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. The study will last for up to 4.5 years.

The Prehospital Airway Control Trial (PACT) is a proposed 5 year, open label, multi-center, stepped-wedge randomized trial comparing airway management strategies of prehospital trauma patients. The initial airway attempt will be randomized to either usual care (control) or a supraglottic airway management approach (intervention). The primary outcome will be 24 hour survival, with secondary outcomes to include survival to hospital discharge, expected clinical adverse events, airway management performance, ICU length of stay, ventilator days, incidence of ARDS, and incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia. Subjects will be enrolled across approximately 17 prehospital agencies at select LITES Network sites and will enroll a total of 2,009 subjects.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

The investigators hypothesize that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrosis development. The investigators aim to prove the presence and progression of atrial fibrosis on Delayed Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) in OSA patients without atrial fibrillation (AF). The investigators will also investigate the correlation between OSA metrics (nocturnal oxygen saturation and Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)) and degree of fibrosis at baseline and its progression.
