Clinical trials

Researchers are looking for new medicines to prevent HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1) infection. The goals of this study are to learn: * If taking MK-8527 once a month works to prevent HIV-1 infection as well as or better than a standard (usual) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) taken once a day * About the safety of MK-8527 and if people tolerate it

The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Study 1's primary hypotheses are that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 52 (US/FDA and EU/EMA), and that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 (US/FDA and EU/EMA). Study 2's primary hypothesis is that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 (US/FDA and EU/EMA).

This Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled treat-through study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction and maintenance therapy with Afimkibart (also known as RO7790121) in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD).

The goal of this pilot longitudinal study is to investigate whether intermittent use of the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor, together with pediatric endocrinology follow-up, diabetes education, and psychological support, can improve glucose control in children and adolescents with high-risk type 1 diabetes in the Dominican Republic. The study will include 40 participants, 10 to 19 years of age, from two pediatric diabetes care centers. Participants will use the Dexcom G7 during two short monitoring periods in the early part of the study. Each participant will use six sensors in total. Between and after these monitoring periods, participants will return to their usual finger-stick glucose monitoring with a glucometer. Participants and their families will also attend scheduled medical visits, diabetes education sessions, and psychological support sessions. Study information will be collected from medical records, laboratory results, Dexcom Clarity reports, participant glucose logs, study forms, and questionnaires. The study will assess changes in HbA1c, time in range, average glucose, glucose variability, low and high blood glucose episodes, adverse events, diabetes-related distress, fear of hypoglycemia, and satisfaction with glucose monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSKs investigational varicella vaccine (VNS Vaccine) compared to an already approved varicella vaccine, Varivax (VV), when administered as second dose to healthy children. 3 months after first dose at 12 to 15 months. The study will be conducted in children who have not previously contracted varicella or received a varicella vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to assess the consistency of immune response to three different lots of GSK's investigational varicella vaccine (VNS Vaccine), and to compare the safety and immune response of VNS vaccine to an already approved varicella vaccine (VV) known as Varivax. The study will be conducted in healthy children aged 12 to 15 months, who have neither contracted varicella nor received a varicella vaccination.

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess safety and explore usability and effectiveness of the test product, AAL-FAIOL. This study will be conducted in Central America.

The purpose of this study is to measure whether PCV21 vaccine (investigational pneumococcal vaccine) is safe and can help the body to develop germ-fighting agents called "antibodies" (immunogenicity) compared with 20vPCV (licensed pneumococcal vaccine) when given as a single dose to children aged 2 to 17 years with sickle cell disease who had received or not a previous vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

The ICGG Gaucher Registry is an ongoing, international multi-center, strictly observational program that tracks the routine clinical outcomes for patients with Gaucher disease, irrespective of treatment status. No experimental intervention is involved; patients in the Registry undergo clinical assessments and receive care as determined by the patient's treating physician. The objectives of the Registry are: * To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Gaucher disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention. * To assist the Gaucher medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care. * To characterize the Gaucher disease population. * To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of imiglucerase and of eliglustat. Gaucher Pregnancy Sub-registry: The primary objective of this Sub-registry is to track pregnancy outcomes, including complications and infant growth, in all women with Gaucher disease during pregnancy, regardless of whether they receive disease-specific therapy. No experimental intervention is given; thus a patient will undergo clinical assessments and receive standard of care treatment as determined by the patient's physician.If a patient consents to this Sub-registry, information about the patient's medical and obstetric history, pregnancy, and birth will be collected, and, if a patient consents to data collection for her infant, data on infant growth through month 36 postpartum will be collected.

This is an international, multicenter, observational study aimed at investigating acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) in Latin American countries. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * What is the epidemiology, outcomes, and processes of care for patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America? * How do outcomes differ across different countries in Latin America? * What factors (demographics, clinical, socioeconomic) influence outcomes in patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America? The main aims of this study are to: * Establish a comprehensive database containing clinical, laboratory, treatment, process, and outcome data of patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America * Describe current epidemiology of AKI-RRT in Latin America * Compare processes of care and outcomes across different countries in Latin America * Provide data resources to facilitate and promote clinical research in AKI-RRT

This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of same-day HPV-based screen and treat among women living with HIV (WLH) in La Romana, Dominican Republic. With cervical cancer being a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women living with HIV, and cervical cancer deaths being preventable through screening and early detection, this project seeks to identify factors associated with the successful implementation of the Screen, Triage, and Treat approach to inform future implementation and scale-up.

The SAFE study is a long-term research project that watches people with sickle cell anemia (SCA) over time. The main goal is to see how a medicine called hydroxyurea affects their growth, puberty, and ability to have children. A second goal is to see how hydroxyurea affects pregnancy outcomes, by comparing people who take the medicine to those who don't.

This study is to evaluate the safety, the systemic exposure of halobetasol propionate (HP), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression potential for topically applied IDP-122 lotion in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

An 'on-eye' UV delivery system for corneal crosslinking can be used safely and effectively to help free presbyopic patients from the need for reading glasses.

This study is a prospective, single-arm, interventional, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ATC System in subjects with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
