The Alzheimer's Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET) will collect longitudinal clinical and safety data for enrolled patients being evaluated for or treated with novel FDA-approved Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapies. ALZ-NET is a longitudinal registry with an expandable platform, designed to grow with scientific and medical advancements. As new treatments are approved and implemented in care, ALZ-NET will track the long-term health outcomes associated with their use in a real-world setting. ALZ-NET is a resource for evidence gathering, information sharing and education across clinical and research communities, encouraging innovative research and supporting opportunities to improve clinical care delivery. All participating physicians and site staff will complete comprehensive training to ensure adherence of data requirements and registry timelines.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term birth. If the opening is tiny, the condition can be self-limiting. If not, medications/surgery are options for treatment. There are two ways to treat patent ductus arteriosus - one is through closure of the opening with an FDA approved device called PICCOLO, the other is through supportive management (medications). No randomized controlled trials have been done previously to see if one of better than the other. Through our PIVOTAL study, the investigators aim to determine is one is indeed better than the other - if it is found that the percutaneous closure with PICCOLO is better, then it would immediately lead to a new standard of care. If not, then the investigators avoid an invasive costly procedure going forward.

The goal of the study is to examine multiple markers of anthropometrics, body composition, sarcopenia and frailty and compare them to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) output, which is considered the current clinical gold-standard tool to measure body composition. The result of this study will provide detailed data regarding the nutrition and body composition within this Cystic Fibrosis population and also provide a baseline evaluation for use of these biomarkers in the future studies including evaluation of nutritional intervention. Further, the study will also include psychosocial and other patient-reported outcomes and medical contributors to understand their contributions to the nutritional failure in the adult advanced lung disease population. Finally, the study will evaluate both established and emerging nutritional and body composition parameters and link them to clinical outcomes in adults with CF across the spectrum of pulmonary function.

The APOLLO study is being done in an attempt to improve outcomes after kidney transplantation and to improve the safety of living kidney donation based upon variation in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1). Genes control what is inherited from a family, such as eye color or blood type. Variation in APOL1 can cause kidney disease. African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Hispanic Blacks, and Africans are more likely to have the APOL1 gene variants that cause kidney disease. APOLLO will test DNA from kidney donors and recipients of kidney transplants for APOL1 to determine effects on kidney transplant-related outcomes.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of a single dose of RABI-767 given by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided peripancreatic injection in participants with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. The main question the study aims to answer is: • Is a single-dose of RABI-767 given by EUS-guided peripancreatic injection safe in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. The study also aims to answer: • Is a single-dose of RABI-767 given by EUS-guided peripancreatic injection effective in treating patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. Study participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive a single dose of RABI-767 plus supportive care or supportive care only. The study sponsor will compare safety and efficacy data collected from participants who receive RABI-767 to participants who receive supportive care only to test if RABI-767 is safe and effective.
