The purpose of this single-blinded (assessor) randomized trial is to compare patient-reported, clinical and functional outcomes in patients randomized to weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) or partial weight-bearing (PWB) restrictions following arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) up to 12-months postoperative.

16 - 50This study will look at whether females who have previously had breast surgery and radiation and are undergoing repeat breast surgery require any post operative interventions. The reason the investigators are conducting this study is because females who have undergone breast radiation are at higher risk of wound complications following breast surgery. The investigators will randomize recruited female participants into three arms, one which is post operative antibiotics for one week, one which is a wound VAC, and one which is no intervention. The investigators goal is to identify whether these patients will require any postoperative interventions.

18 - 99Sexual violence (SV) perpetrated by dating partners and male acquaintances is common among adolescent girls in high school. Girls and young women who experience SV are likely to encounter negative mental and physical health consequences as well as lowered academic performance. While educational interventions to address the problem of SV are numerous, when evaluated, few show any capacity to reduce sexual violence victimization or perpetration. The Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act (EAAA) sexual assault resistance program for female university students (ages 17-24) is a rare exception; in a rigorous trial, EAAA reduced attempted and completed rape by 50% in the following year. The current randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test whether a version of EAAA that has been adapted for younger girls (age 14-18) who have not graduated high school (called the Adolescent Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act \[A-EAAA\]) will result in similar benefits within a 6-month follow-up. The current RCT will be conducted across three sites in Ontario, Canada.

14 - 18This prospective longitudinal cohort study will follow patients with schizophrenia who are treated with second generation long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications (LAIs) for 48 weeks to determine the risk of psychotic symptom relapse when treatment adherence is established. The study is designed to minimize the other factors that have contributed to breakthrough psychotic symptoms in patients treated with LAIs including poor adherence, substance use, concurrent mood disorders, poor treatment response, failed cross-titration, and insufficient dosing. Eligible subjects will undergo a screening visit to document that inclusion criteria are met and those meeting exclusion criteria are excluded. Participants will be assessed every 12 weeks to determine whether they remain in remission or meet criteria for a relapse. More comprehensive assessment will be completed at the beginning of the study (baseline visit), at the 24-week study midpoint and the 48-week study endpoint. Plasma antipsychotic levels will be measured at these three study time points to investigate associations between plasma levels and remission/relapse status as well as side effects. Plasma prolactin will also be measured to assess the association with sexual side effects. Hemoglobin A1c and measures of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol will be obtained to assess the effects of SGA LAIs on these measures.

18 - 65This first-time-in-human (FTIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of escalating doses of GSK6097608 given as monotherapy and in combination with dostarlimab in participants with advanced solid tumors. In addition, dostarlimab will be given as monotherapy (Arm D); and in combination with belrestotug (Arm E); and with GSK6097608 + belrestotug (Arm F) in Japanese and Chinese participants. The study may assess the PK/PD cohorts for Arm E and/or Arm F in participants outside of China and Japan. Additionally, dostarlimab will be given in combination with cobolimab in Japanese participants. Drug name mentioned as belrestotug, GSK4428859A and EOS884448 are interchangeable for the same compound. In the rest of the document, the drug will be referred to as belrestotug.

Over 18Background: In nearly all people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, immunity cannot either control or eradicate the infection. There are good medicinal treatments, collectively called "ART" (antiretroviral therapy) which control HIV infection by suppressing the virus in the bloodstream. ART is needed for life, and if a person stops taking ART the HIV infection returns in the bloodstream. So, there is good treatment, but no cure. The researchers want to test whether a period of treatment with vedolizumab can be used to control HIV infection in the bloodstream in persons with HIV on ART, after stopping ART. Objective: To determine whether vedolizumab is safe and tolerable in people with HIV, to assess the safety of an analytical treatment interruption (ATI), and to determine whether vedolizumab can control HIV infection in the bloodstream without the use of ART. Eligibility: Adults 18-65 with HIV who are being treated with ART Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam, medical history, blood and urine tests Participants will have a baseline visit which will include repeat of the screening testing. Participants will then present for their first study visit which will include: receiving vedolizumab infusions through an arm vein, repeats of the baseline testing. Participants will then have serial visits on a pre-specific schedule to receive ongoing vedolizumab doses every 2-4 weeks until week 20. Each visit will also include repeat of the baseline tests. After week 6 and before week 7 patients will discontinue ART. After the final infusion of vedolizumab at week 20 patients will continue to be assessed with physical exam, medical history, and repeat of the baseline testing every 4 weeks up to 1 year. ART will be re-started for participants if the level of HIV in the blood becomes too high, persists for too long, or if the CD4 count decreases by too much.

Over 18Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and radical prostatectomy is the most frequent treatment for this disease. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of patients will develop recurrence after surgery, requiring additional salvage radiation. Salvage radiation after recurrence is successful in less than half of these men and most of those die from their disease. Measures to prevent recurrence are an important research priority for prostate cancer patients and their families. Hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation therapy; ADT) is routinely used to treat patients with metastases, but few clinical trials have examined if adjuvant ADT after surgery will prevent cancer recurrence. We aim to address this research oversight and test the hypothesis that for men at high risk of cancer recurrence, 1 year of ADT immediately after surgery will be safe and will significantly improve cancer outcomes.

Over 1848 participants (24 women and 24 men) with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) will participate in 2 phases : control phase (12-week usual care) and intervention phase (12-week home-based rehabilitation program). The participants will be evaluated at baseline, week 12 (end of control phase) and week 24 (end of intervention phase) to quantify the effects of an individualized home-based rehabilitation program. Participants will also participate on a focus group at the end of the program to evaluate the acceptability of the program and the perceived changes.
