The goal of this early feasibility study is to gain initial insight into the basic safety and performance of transluminal (through the blood vessels) implantation of the PASCAL System's implant (composed of man-made materials). We are trying to evaluate the safety and performance of the PASCAL System with Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) (also known as…
This is a research study for patients who have Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), a condition that occurs when the three leaflets of the heart's tricuspid valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart has to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood…
Genes and Environment in MS (GEMS) is a longitudinal cohort study investigating how genetics and environment can lead to the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. We are recruiting first-degree relatives (siblings, parents, and children) of people who have been diagnosed with MS. This study involves the collection of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain,…
MS Genetics aims to better understand the genetic component of demyelinating diseases by doing genetic testing on blood samples of participants. This study involves a one-time blood draw and completion of questionnaires spread out over a couple of years in hopes to better understand the genes that makes one predisposed to Multiple Sclerosis and various…
The Snapshot study aims to understand brain and spinal cord aging in healthy individuals and individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). We aim to identify new tools that will help us to achieve successful brain aging in the general population and in people with an underlying autoimmune disease. A critical aspect of this study is that we are looking for…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences between immune profiles of individuals remaining on Ocrelizumab/Rituximab versus those transitioning to diroximel fumarate at two years. Baseline visits for subjects transitioning to diroximel fumarate (DRF) will take place 6 months after last Ocrelizumab (OCR) or Rituximab (RTX) dose, prior to…
The Edwards Cardioband Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction FIT valve repair system is a prospective, single arm, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Cardioband Tricuspid System. The Edwards Cardioband Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction System is intended for patients with tricuspid regurgitation deemed to be potential candidates for…
The purpose of this study is to find out if IW-3300, an investigational new drug, helps bladder pain when given as a rectal (inserted into the anus) foam. The study will test IW-3300. IW-3300 is a new drug that has been developed for treating people like you with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. It is not yet approved by the United States Food…
This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, early feasibility study. This research study is for patients who have Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), a condition that occurs when the three leaflets of the heart's tricuspid valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart…
We are currently recruiting individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), first-degree family members of persons with MS, and healthy individuals to take part in our research on the effects of probiotics. Our goal is to better understand how the health of the gut microbiome influences the immune system.
This is a research study for patients who have Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), a condition that occurs when the three leaflets of the hearts tricuspid valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart has to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward.…
This study will be used to evaluate the immunologic effects of Prebiotics (soluble fiber required by beneficial bacteria), in comparison to Probiotics (beneficial bacteria), in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).
ASPIRE is a clinical trial to investigate aspirin as a treatment to improve exercise performance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who experience overheating during exercise. Persons with multiple sclerosis benefit from exercise, but many avoid it because of exhaustion and overheating. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) tests aspirin as a method to…
You will be randomly assigned to complete questionnaires via either a paper format, web-based format, or smartphone format. About 2 weeks later but before treatment begins, you will be asked to complete a different form of the questionnaire either in the office or at home. You will be emailed and/or called by research staff to remind you to complete the…
The purpose of this study is to see if ocrelizumab (study drug) will stabilize, or potentiallyimprove the signs and symptoms of your MS. Ocrelizumab is a type of drug called amonoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies act like your bodys immune system andattach to certain cells in order to attack germs and other illnesses in your body.Ocrelizumab attaches…
The purpose of the study is to investigate if Cysview and blue light is better than white light in detecting tumors in individuals with bladder cancer prior to and during surgery that are in follow-up for tumor recurrence. Cysview is an FDA approved drug that is used in combination with a lamp from KARL STORZ to detect tumors in the bladder (KARL STORZ D-…
This study is for adults with Overactive Bladder. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about patients who have Overactive Bladder (OAB) and who are receiving either mirabegron or another approved antimuscarinic medication (single drug). To collect this information, the study Sponsor has created a research registry. A registry is a kind of…
