The hypothesis is that Sirolimus, (Rapamycin (R)) which is currently used in organ transplantation and works by blocking the activity of T effector cells but preserving T regulatory cells, as well as by inducing autophagy (protein degradation), will be effective in IBM to slow or stabilize disease progression, helping to maintain patient function and independence. This phase III trial will confirm pilot data showing statistically significant clinical outcomes.
D-0120 is being tested in combination with Allopurinol in adult subjects with Gout.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), is FDA-approved for temporary relief of muscle and joint pain, but there is no indication for TMD. Our goal in this study is to conduct a clinical trial of multimodal PBM for TMD pain. This study will be a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial testing the efficacy of PBM for pain related to TMD.
The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate that after six weeks of at home exercise, 3 times per week with SimpleTherapy, participants with clinical indications of knee OA will on average have improved outcomes noninferior than traditionally prescribed physical therapy regimens.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain long-term implant survivorship (out to 10 years) and to assess clinical, patient-reported outcome measures, and radiographic data for the commercially available Physica system. For ancillary arm, from baseline to 5-year follow-up.
The primary research purpose is to determine if the use of a drug therapy intervention (each study participant will be randomly assigned to receive one of 3 study medications which will be blinded from everyone, including the study participants, and all research staff (except the principal investigator), combined with a series of 3 injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) into an osteoarthritic knee joint, leads to reductions in knee pain, and improvements in physical function. Improvements will be assessed by serially evaluating pain scores and functionality using standardized and validated questionaires which will be completed by the ...
The goal of this clinical trial is to test efficacy of different investigational products (IPs) compared with placebo on the change from baseline to the end of the treatment period at Week 52 in lung capacity in participants with Interstitial Lung Disease Secondary to Systemic Sclerosis.
In accordance with the European Medical Device Regulation MDR 2017/745/EU, the legal manufacturers of medical devices are obliged to evaluate medical devices with regard to their clinical performance and safety. The VERTICALE® Cervical System is intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments of the craniocervical junction (occipital-C2), subaxial cervical spine (C3-C7) and upper thoracic spine (T1-T3). Primary Objective: To assess the functional outcome and clinical benefit of the VERTICALE® Cervical System for the patient using the NDI (Neck Disability Index) questionnaire. Primary endpoint...
The purpose of this retrospective chart review study is to collect the data that will be used to provide clinical evidence to support the post-market surveillance program.
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area, thus reducing numbness. The investigators hypothesize that positioning hip arthroscopy patients using a traction pad on a standard traction...
