Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical treatment which involves replacing the damaged articular cartilage of the knee joint with an artificial prosthetic in end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although total knee arthroplasties are mostly successful, approximately 1 in 5 patients are unsatisfied with their outcomes with 16-33% of patients of patients experiencing lasting pain following total knee arthroplasty. Multiprofen-CC™ is a compounded topical analgesic currently available to healthcare professionals for prescription in patients experiencing localized musculoskeletal pain. To date there has been no evidence-based guidance generated to evaluate the efficacy of Multiprofen-CC™ in osteoarthritis patients. This study will test, in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty, if the use of topical Multiprofen-CC™ in addition to standard of care pain management is more effective in controlling knee pain and reducing opioid use compared to placebo plus standard care alone.

Over 18This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The planned duration of treatment in either arm within the study will be 7 years.

18 - 130A standard imaging test used to look for disease in the body is a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. These scans use a small amount of a radioactive substance, called a radiotracer. The most commonly used radiotracer is FDG, which shows us how the body uses glucose (a type of sugar). However, because the brain and heart naturally use a lot of glucose, the images can have background 'noise' making it harder for doctors to see signs of disease in these organs. NeuCaVis is a new type of radiotracer that is being investigated in this study. It works by showing us how the body uses different kind of sugar, fructose. Outside of the digestive system, fructose is not normally used by healthy tissues. It is only used for energy when inflammation is present. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and how NeuCaVis is distributed in normal tissue throughout the body. This is the first time this is being tested in people. Participants will undergo a series of PET/CT scans following an intravenous injection of NeuCaVis. The first will be 90 minutes, then a 25 minute break, followed by a 10 minute scan, a 105 minute break, then a final 10 minute scan. A follow up phone call will occur 1-3 days later. In the optional sub-set study, participants will return to the clinic approximately 1-2 weeks after the first scan. The additional PET scan is already used in medical care and involves administration of an approved PET radiotracer, \[18F\]FDG. Researchers would compare this scan to the study PET scan with NeuCaVis. For this standard of care scan, it would be necessary to fast (not to eat or drink anything, except water) for at least 12 hours prior to receiving the FDG radiotracer injection.

18 - 55The WeDecide study is a large observational study comparing the long-term effects of matched related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MRD HCT) and non-transplant disease-modifying therapies (NT-DMT) for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study aims to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), cognitive function, risks, and benefits of both treatments, including survival rates, chronic complications, and organ damage prevention. With 160 children in the MRD HCT group and 320 in the NT-DMT group, aged 3-20.9 years, the study will follow participants for three years, examining factors like disease severity, treatment history, and social determinants of health. By providing a comprehensive comparison, the study seeks to inform clinical decisions and improve understanding of SCD treatment outcomes, ultimately supporting families and healthcare providers in choosing the best treatment options.

3 - 20The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption using the Next Generation Dome Helmet (NGDH) in adults with glioblastoma (GBM) undergoing the maintenance phase of the standard "Stupp protocol". Participants will: * Undergo repeated FUS BBB disruption treatments during the maintenance phase of temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. * Receive intravenous ultrasound contrast (DEFINITY®) prior to each FUS session to facilitate targeted BBB disruption. * Undergo serial MRI scans and clinical assessments to evaluate safety and the extent of BBB opening. * Provide blood samples (and tumor tissue if available) for biomarker analysis related to BBB permeability, tumor presence, and treatment response. * Be followed for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) during routine neuro-oncology visits until end of life.

18 - 85The goal of this 2x2 factorial clinical trial is to test the efficacy of i) colchicine, and ii) thiamine in heart failure (HF) secondary to ischemic heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does colchicine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, a HF event, or an ischemic CV event * Does thiamine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, or a HF event Participants will undergo the following procedures: * Run-in: All participants will receive colchicine 0.5 mg daily to assess drug tolerance over a 3-4 week period. * Randomization: If colchicine is tolerated during run-in, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2x2 factorial design to receive i) colchicine 0.5mg daily or placebo, and ii) thiamine 300mg daily or no thiamine. * Follow-up: Clinical outcomes, side effects, adverse events, and drug adherence will be captured during follow-up

6 - 70The increasing incidence of diabetes and high risk of amputation makes prevention and successful treatment of DFU of vital importance. A relatively new device, the wheeled knee walker, allows total offloading of the affected foot and, when compared to traditional walking aids such as crutches and walkers, requires significantly less physical exertion, is easier to use, and affords more stability. Its potential benefit to improve wound healing, impact physical function and quality of life in people with DFU is not yet known. Therefore, the goal of this research is to determine whether providing a wheeled knee walker to people with diabetic foot ulcers improves clinical outcomes and quality of life when compared to usual and customary care.
