First, the investigators plan to use a retrospective analysis to determine the clinical landscape of neurofibromatosis (NF)1-associated malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) and precursor lesions (e.g., atypical or nodular plexiform neurofibromas). A worldwide database will be established, collecting, in a standardized manner, histologic, immunohistochemical, molecular, radiographic, treatment, and related clinical data from centers worldwide with expertise in these NF1-related cancers. Although retrospective in nature, the resulting data from this registry may reveal previously unanticipated patterns, similar to the INFACT effort outcome. This registry would then allow the acquisition of data associated with MPNST biospecimens collected under associated banks (frozen or paraffin-embedded, germline (or normal tissue DNA) samples, and any previously somatic whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing data for aggregate analyses). Second, the investigators plan to co-register patients to institutional banks in order to prospectively collect MPNST samples for analysis. These patients will be consented in order to collect the above information and for banking of tumor tissue and future studies that include genomic characterization of the tumors.

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of LOXO-435. LOXO-435 may be used to treat cancer of the cells that line the urinary system and other solid tumor cancers that have a change in a particular gene (known as the FGFR3 gene). Participation could last up to 30 months (2.5 years) and possibly longer if the disease does not get worse.

Effective treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) usually emphasize a behavioural approach called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). In this treatment, patients are encouraged to face their fears repeatedly and for extended periods of time, with the help and support of a caring therapist. Although this is an approach that has been shown to work, many patients find the treatment to be difficult; some even refuse the treatment, or drop out before improvements are seen. The investigators have been working to develop an alternate approach which is just as effective as ERP, but which the investigators think will be much more acceptable to those who seek help for their OCD. This study will compare the traditional behavioural approach, with the newer cognitively-based approach. The investigators expect that the two treatments will both reduce the symptoms and distress of people with OCD, but that this newer cognitive therapy will have fewer people who refuse or drop out of the treatment, and will be rated as more acceptable. This research will have important implications not only for those struggling with OCD, but also for other anxiety-related problems where behavioural approaches are typically recommended, including posttraumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, and other problems.

The study consists of 3 periods: A Screening Period (up to 45 days), a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Period (16 weeks), and a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period (108 weeks). The primary purpose of the MAD period is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending intravenous (IV) doses of PGN-EDO51 administered to participants with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The primary purpose of the LTE period is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of PGN-EDO51 in participants who have completed the MAD period.

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, phase II clinical trial conducted in Canada. The purpose of the study is to determine the remission rate of acalabrutinib in combination with R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma prior to autologous stem cell transplantation. This study is composed of 2 cohorts, A and B. In Cohort A all patients will receive six cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy together with continuous acalabrutinib at the standard dose twice per day orally. All patients will undergo response assessment at the end of six cycles of R-CHOP + acalabrutinib with CT scan, PET/CT scan, and bone marrow biopsy. Responding patients will proceed with stem cell mobilization, apheresis, and processing. Following ASCT, patients will receive standard maintenance rituximab every 3 months for 2 years. Enrollment for Cohort A component of the study has been completed. Cohort B, involves using acalabrutinib with R-CHOP (same as Group A) but without an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) as part of the regimen. The study doctors hope to evaluate how participants respond to the treatment in terms of the time between treatment initiation and time when stable disease is achieved. The enrollment for cohort B is currently ongoing.

The goal of this observational study is to describe the impacts of COVID-19 on primary care chronic condition management in Canada within various patient populations. This will be done by analyzing primary care electronic medial record (EMR) data from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) database, including data on primary care encounters, as well as various markers for chronic conditions. The research questions to be investigated are: 1a) What are the changes to the management of chronic conditions in primary care since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic? 1b) How do these changes differ by age, health status, and socioeconomic status?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ESK-001 works to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does ESK-001 reduce the severity of people's psoriasis? * How safe is ESK-001 in people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis? The study includes 2 comparators: a placebo control (a 'dummy' tablet that does not contain the medicine ESK-001 but looks just like it) and an active control (apremilast, which is a medicine approved to treat psoriasis). People taking part in this study must be men or women aged at least 18 years and have had plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months, currently moderate to severe. Participants will: * take drug every day for 24 weeks. * visit the clinic for checkups and tests. * fill out questionnaires about their psoriasis, itch severity, and change in quality of life. * be assessed for health issues and side effects, physical examinations, vital signs, heart electrical activity measurements, and psychological health. * provide blood and urine samples.
