Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a kidney condition. It happens when the body's immune system creates groups of proteins (called immune complexes) that build-up in the kidneys causing swelling (inflammation). Over time, this inflammation may lead to kidney damage and cause the kidneys to no longer work properly. The main aim of this study is to check how well mezagitamab changes protein levels in the urine (proteinuria) compared to placebo in adults with primary IgAN. A placebo looks like medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients in it. Other aims are to check how safe mezagitamab is and how well participants with primary IgAN can tolerate it compared to placebo, and to find out if and how well mezagitamab continues to maintain kidney function over the long term compared to placebo. Participants will be placed in 1 of the 2 treatment groups; the main group and the open-label group. In the main group, participants will be placed in 1 of the 2 treatment groups by chance (either mezagitamab or placebo) at a 2:1 ratio. This means that out of 3 participants, 2 will receive mezagitamab and 1 will receive placebo. The participants will receive either mezagitamab or placebo for almost half a year in two 1-year cycles. They will be observed for another half year in each 1-year cycle and will have check-ups about every month during this time. In the open-label group, a small number of participants who have lower levels of protein in their urine or have kidneys that do not filter the blood well, will receive mezagitamab treatment. This will include participants who have previously received mezagitamab in another study, TAK-079-1006. Every participant will receive mezagitamab in the same way as those in the main group receiving mezagitamab. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.

This study is open to people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). They can only take part if they have completed treatment in a previous study with a medicine called nerandomilast or BI 1015550. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with pulmonary fibrosis tolerate long- term treatment with nerandomilast. The study also tests whether nerandomilast improves lung function and prolongs the time until symptoms get worse, participants need to go to the hospital, or die. Every participant takes nerandomilast as tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months. The participants may also continue their regular treatment for pulmonary fibrosis during the study. Participants visit their doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Participants also regularly do lung function tests.

The Investigators have recently published on differences in pain sensitivity measures between cis and trans individuals in the local area. The investigators observed the anticipated differences in pain sensitivity between CM and CW (CW > CM), but found that the TW were phenotypically similar to CW in all measures. However, the investigators did not assess hormone level, nor did the investigators recruit TM participants. Here, with the assistance of two local community group stakeholders the investigators will recruit the following groups: CM, CW, TM+T (currently taking exogenous testosterone), TW+E (exogenous estradiol), TM, and TW (n=20/group). The investigators will use quantitative sensory testing to assess sensitivity to cold, pressure, and heat via standardized protocols. Blood samples will be taken for assessment of stress and reproductive hormone levels, immune cell populations and stimulated cytokine release. Finally, questionnaires will measure pain state, quality of life (QOL), voice QOL, body image, appearance, self-reported health, masculinity/femininity, community connectedness, gender role, sleep, depression, social support, adverse childhood experiences and stigma.

This phase II trial tests whether the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is better than nivolumab alone to shrink tumors in patients with deficient mismatch repair system (dMMR) endometrial carcinoma that has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected (recurrent). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) is a system for recognizing and repairing damaged DNA. In 2-3% of endometrial cancers this may be due to a hereditary condition resulted from gene mutation called Lynch Syndrome (previously called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or HNPCC). MMR deficient cells usually have many DNA mutations. Tumors that have evidence of mismatch repair deficiency tend to be more sensitive to immunotherapy. There is some evidence that nivolumab with ipilimumab can shrink or stabilize cancers with deficient mismatch repair system. However, it is not known whether this will happen in endometrial cancer; therefore, this study is designed to answer that question. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab may be better than nivolumab alone in treating dMMR recurrent endometrial carcinoma.

The goal of this observational study is to learn how two medicines used in routine care-buprenorphine and morphine-affect recovery in newborns (≥36 weeks' gestation) with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do infants treated with buprenorphine become medically ready for discharge sooner than those treated with morphine? 2. Does one treatment lead to better overall clinical outcomes than the other? Researchers will compare infants who received buprenorphine with infants who received morphine to see whether one treatment helps babies recover more quickly. Participants will not be asked to do anything. Instead, the study team will collect information already documented in the infant's and mother's medical records securely without any contact or changes to clinical care. No new medicines, procedures, or visits are involved. This study only reviews existing clinical data to better understand which commonly used treatment may support faster recovery for newborns with NOWS.

This study looks at the best time to place a midurethral sling (MUS), which is a small piece of mesh used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (leaking urine when you cough, laugh, or exercise). The sling is placed during a type of surgery called robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC). This surgery helps fix pelvic organ prolapse, when organs like the bladder or uterus drop from their normal place. Doctors can place the sling either before or after they lift and support the top of the vagina during surgery, but they aren't sure which timing works better. In this study, investigators are comparing what is the best time to place the sling, how the patient feels after surgery and if a patient's symptoms got better or worse.

Rationale: LTI-03 is an experimental medication breathed into the lungs using an inhaler. It is being studied for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a progressive, fatal lung disease caused by the death of lung cells involved in oxygen uptake and by progressive fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. As the disease progresses, patients experience loss of lung function and increased breathing problems. LTI-03 is hypothesized to treat IPF by protecting and restoring the function of the oxygen uptake cells and by controlling lung fibrosis which may result in improving lung scarring. The purpose of this research is to evaluate LTI-03 including: its safety, whether it causes side effects, whether it improves lung scarring, and whether it improves IPF symptoms. LTI-03 will be compared to placebo in patients diagnosed with IPF within the last 5 years. Patients on a stable dose of nintedanib, pirfenidone, or nerandomilast (if available by prescription) may participate. Trial Design: This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study that includes a 28-day Screening Period, a 24-week Treatment Period, and 4-week Follow-up Period. Study Assessments: Up to 9 visits to the study clinic will be required. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated with the following assessments: physical examination; collection of vital sign data (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation [SpO2] via pulse oximetry); heart data collected by 12-lead electrocardiogram; and collection of blood samples for safety laboratory tests. In addition, participants will be asked about any adverse events (side effects) they have experienced between clinic visits, if they have changed any medications, and if they are able to properly use their study drug inhaler. Participants will undergo a lung function test (spirometry) at every visit, which will be used to evaluate both safety and efficacy. Another test measuring the diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) will be required at Screening only. Blood samples will also be collected at each visit to measure disease biomarkers. At select visits patients will be asked to complete the Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis questionnaire to evaluate their IPF symptoms. Participants will also undergo a specialized lung scan (HRCT) at Baseline and at the End of Treatment to measure changes in lung fibrosis. Interventions: LTI-03 and placebo are provided in powder-filled capsules that participants will self- administer using an inhaler. Placebo capsules look like LTI-03 capsules but have no active ingredients. Approximately 120 participants will be randomly assigned in a blinded manner to one of study drug treatment groups.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of PF-07220060 with letrozole compared to approved treatments (ie, palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib with letrozole) in people with breast cancer: - HR-positive (breast cancer cells that need estrogen or progesterone to grow) - HER2-negative (cells that have a small amount or none of a protein called HER2 on their surface); - locally advanced (that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes) or metastatic disease (the spread of cancer to other places in the body) - who have not received any prior systemic anti-cancer treatment for advanced/metastatic disease. Approximately half of the participants will receive PF-07220060 plus letrozole while the other half of participants will receive the investigator's choice of treatment plus letrozole. The study team will monitor how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the study clinic.
