Needle phobia is a barrier for receiving appropriate care during pregnancy and can lead to complications of the mother and fetus that could easily be avoided. Needle phobia can affect routine prenatal care, increase the demand for general anesthesia during c-section, and increase post-op pain. During epidural placement, providers use local anesthetic in various methods to numb the area where the needle will be inserted. Pain from these anesthetic administrations can increase needle phobia and their side effects. One use of local anesthetic is the lidocaine patch, and studies have shown it is effective in reducing pain level in patients [6, Firmani]. The transdermal lidocaine patch may lower the physical pain and mental effects of needle phobia in pregnant women and lower the side effects from that. Although lidocaine patch may take more time to numb the skin, a high number of expecting mothers will not require an epidural for labor analgesia right away. Therefore, administration of lidocaine patch might be an effective alternative. Pregnant women needing epidural placement will be randomized into three groups, the lidocaine patch group, intradermal anesthetic group, or use of both to determine the effectiveness of the lidocaine patch compared to the intradermal administration.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if NTB-928 can be given safely to adult females with ovarian cancer that has come back (relapsed) or stopped responding to treatment (refractory), how NTB-928 moves through the body, and how the immune system reacts to it. The study will also look for early signs of anti-cancer activity of NTB-928. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What side effects do participants experience when receiving NTB-928, including side effects that limit how much of it can be safely given? - How is NTB-928 processed by the body at different dose levels? - Does the immune system react to NTB-928 during treatment? - What dose of NTB-928 can be given safely that shows early signs of activity against ovarian cancer?

This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of inhaled Nintedanib Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI) in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Participants are randomized to receive either 2 mg QID, 4 mg BID, or matching placebo for 12 weeks, followed by a 24-week open-label extension in which all participants receive active treatment. The primary focus is on safety-particularly bronchospasm events, lung function changes (FEV1, FEV1/FVC), and adverse event rates and assessing the effectiveness of nintedanib DPI in treating IPF.

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of TEV-56286 at different doses. The main objective is to describe how TEV-56286 is absorbed, distributed, and removed from the body (the pharmacokinetics) following administration of TEV-56286 in single doses of increasing amounts and multiple doses in healthy participants. A secondary objective is to assess the safety of TEV-56286 and how well it is tolerated. The estimated duration for participants in Part 1 with Single Ascending Dose is approximately 58 days; including up to 45 days of screening, a 4-day in-clinic period, and follow-up 8+/-1 days post discharge from the clinical unit. The estimated duration for participants in Part 2 with Multiple Dose is approximately 64 days; including 45 days of screening, a 10-day in-clinic period, and follow-up 8+/-1 days post discharge from the clinical unit.

This study is open to adults between 18 and 74 years of age and who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more, or a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or more and at least 1 health problem related to their weight. People who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. People with type 2 diabetes cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 3034701 helps people living with obesity or overweight to lose weight. This study has 7 groups of participants. Groups 1 to 6 get different doses of BI 3034701; Group 7 gets placebo. Placebo looks like BI 3034701 but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has more than an 80% chance of getting BI 3034701. Participants receive 2 injections of BI 3034701 or placebo under their skin for 42 weeks. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 10 months. During this time, they visit the study site 15 times. The study doctors regularly measure the participants' body weight and take necessary laboratory tests. Participants also answer questions about their well-being and note their food intake and physical activity in diaries. The results will be compared between groups of participants to see whether the treatment works. The study doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The goal of this randomized controlled two-arm trial is to determine the effect of a diet and exercise intervention for 12 weeks on body composition, muscle function, and energy balance in 80 adults aged 50 years and over with obesity and insulin resistance. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: Will 12 weeks of a structured nutrition plan + exercise reduce fat mass, improve muscle function, and increase energy deficit compared to the usual diet + exercise. The hypothesis is that 12 weeks of a structured nutrition plan + exercise will reduce fat mass, improve muscle function, and produce greater energy deficit than the usual diet + exercise. Participants will be provided with all meals for 12 weeks and will exercise at the Center under supervision three times each week. Pre and post-intervention, body composition, physical function, and energy deficit will be measured.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common eye condition caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the back part of the eye (called the retina). Over time, this damage can lead to vision problems and even blindness if not treated. This study will assess surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec) as a potential one-time gene therapy administered in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and prevention of vision-threatening events (VTEs) in participants with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). This study will consist of 3 portions: a Phase 2b portion, a Phase 3 portion, and a bilateral treatment portion. Approximately 576 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. In the Phase 2b and Phase 3 portions, participants will be randomized to different groups to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids or sham and artificial tears in their study eye. If assigned to sham, participants will be given an opportunity to cross over and receive treatment with sura-vec. In the bilateral treatment portion, participants will be enrolled to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids in both eyes. In all 3 portions, follow-up in the study will continue through 5 years following administration of sura-vec in each eye. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a patient-centered health and wellness coaching (HWC) intervention on adherence to treatment plans and healthy lifestyle practices in patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer. Treatment for thyroid cancer often involves surgery, radioactive iodine and/or lifelong levothyroxine with regular monitoring of thyroid stimulating hormone levels. Despite strong survival rates, patients frequently report fatigue, cognitive issues, mood changes, and disruptions in daily life. Treatment burden and psychosocial strain often impair the ability to follow the treatment plan and healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that HWC motivates patients to take ownership and accountability to perform positive and healthy behavioral changes. HWC may have a positive impact on health-related goal-setting processes and improve self-care and healthcare outcomes in certain settings. It is not yet known how HWC impacts thyroid cancer patients. Incorporating HWC into survivorship care may improve adherence to treatment plans and healthy lifestyle practices in patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer.
