Telehealth study assessing the removal of filter ventilation on smoking behavior and biomarkers
This single-blind, between-subject, randomized, multi-center study will assess the effect of cigarettes with unventilated vs. ventilated filters on smoking behavior and biomarkers of tobacco toxicant exposure. The study uses telehealth and brief in-clinic or curbside visits and will also examine the feasibility of remote collection of multiple biological samples. Subjective measures, alveolar carbon monoxide, blood pressure and cigarettes per day will be collected remotely. Biological samples collected at home will be dropped off at the clinic at a brief clinic or curbside visit where the study cigarettes will be dispensed. Smokers using conventional cigarette brands with filter ventilation of about 16-36% will enter a three phase study. Phase 1 is a 1-week baseline period of smoking usual brand cigarettes; Phase 2 consists of 2 weeks of smoking ventilated cigarettes; and Phase 3 where subjects are randomly assigned to one of two conditions: 1) ventilated cigarettes; or 2) unventilated cigarettes smoked for a 6 week period. Weekly telehealth visits are conducted to collect study measures and subjects attend a brief clinic or curbside visits to pick up study cigarettes and drop off biomarker samples. A follow-up telehealth visit will occur at one-month post intervention.

STUDY OF PHIL?? EMBOLIC SYSTEM IN THE TREATMENT OF INTRACRANIAL DURAL ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULAS
Arteriovenous fistulas are a type of arteriovenous malformation whereby blood is shunted directly from the arterial system to the venous system, bypassing the capillary bed. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are a rare type of acquired intracranial vascular malformation consisting of a pathologic shunt located within the dura mater of the brain. 1 These lesions have been categorized by Awad et al 2, Borden et al 3, and Cognard et al 4 according to their locations and patterns of venous drainage. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) can be observed anywhere on the dural layer meninges of the cranium and spine. This condition accounts for 10-15% of all intracranial arteriovenous malformations diagnosed. 5 These fistulas can be congenital or acquired diseases. When observed as acquired diseases, they are most often encountered in males between the age of 50 and 60 years old. DAVFs present with a wide spectrum of symptoms or none at all, and come with varying range of risk of clinical sequalae. A thorough evaluation of the anatomy and venous drainage is crucial to determining the best treatment strategy. Acute presentation with intracranial hemorrhage occurs in up to 65% of patients, and patients with a previous intracranial hemorrhage may have up to a 35% risk of another neurologic event within 2 weeks. 6 Endovascular embolization has become the primary treatment approach for DAVFs. The goal of endovascular therapy is to achieve complete obliteration of the fistulous point between the feeding arteries and the draining veins. This can be safely accomplished by occluding the draining veins, which often results in complete closure of the lesion, unlike in cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The PHIL® device is a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent comprised of a Triiodophenol-(lactide-co-glycolide) acrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) co-polymer dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). An iodine component is chemically bonded to the co-polymer to provide a radiopacifier element during fluoroscopic visualization. The PHIL® Liquid Embolic System consists of a sterile, pre-filled, 1.0 mL syringe of PHIL® liquid embolic, a sterile, prefilled 1.0 mL syringe of DMSO, and microcatheter hub adaptors. Intracranial dAVFs may produce a wide variety of symptoms. Individual risk is evaluated by a precise analysis of the venous drainage. The decision to treat is based on this analysis. Treatment strategy is decided by a multidisciplinary neurovascular team and must consider the individual risk of each dAVF. Embolization is, in most cases, proposed as the first treatment option and often succeeds to obtain a complete and definitive cure of the dAVF. Surgery may be required in some locations or in the case of embolization failure. Radiosurgery is rarely indicated because it is not always efficient and because of the time required for shunt obliteration and the risk of bleeding in this period. Liquid embolics have distinct characteristics that make them a principle treatment option in the obliteration of dAVFs. They can flow through complex vascular structures so that the surgeon does not need to target the catheter to every single vessel. 10 There is little choice available in the US market for the liquid embolic treatment of dAVF. Currently, nBCA (TRUFILL n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate, Cordis) and Onyx (Medtronic) are the only liquid embolic agents available. Both are approved by FDA for presurgical embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations. However, they have been used off-label for dAVFs. This use demonstrates the unmet medical need for the patients suffering with dAVFs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of PHIL in the management of intracranial dural AVFs.

A Study of Combination Chemotherapy for Patients With Newly Diagnosed DAWT and Relapsed FHWT
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients (≤ 30 years old) with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan) has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT)and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).

Determinants of Renal Structural Responses to Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) in Fabry Disease Study (LDN6702)
The effect of enzyme replacement therapy on how well your kidneys are responding to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is not clear from blood and urine tests alone, but may be more clear in comparisons of kidney biopsies performed before and some time after ERT has been initiated, and this is what we are focusing our study efforts on. The purpose of this study is to obtain your permission to allow us to study the kidney biopsy tissues (collected for medical reasons) after the regular routine studies have been completed. Through our special research measurements and additional study, we hope to be able to see and measure very specific changes in the kidney tissues from Fabry patients taking ERT. We also hope that through these studies of what happens within the kidney before and after starting ERT, we are able to reveal valuable information about the importance of factors like your age that you started ERT, the amount or dosage of ERT, and any differences seen between males and females.

A Long-term Follow-up Study of Sotatercept for PAH Treatment (MK-7962-004) (SOTERIA)
This Phase 3 study is being conducted to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sotatercept in PAH. Long-term followup of patients receiving sotatercept is important to understand the maintenance and durability of treatment effect (especially in the presence of background PAH therapy) and to provide greater opportunity for pharmacovigilance following sotatercept treatment in the selected patient populations. This LTFU study is supported by data from the PULSAR study (Phase 2, NCT03496207), in which treatment with sotatercept resulted in hemodynamic and functional improvements in the study participants, including those receiving maximal PAH therapy with double/triple drug combinations and intravenous prostacyclin.

A Study to Investigate Blinatumomab in Combination With Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients (365 Days to 31 Years) with newly diagnosed, standard risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lymphoblastic lymphoma with or without Down syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, pegaspargase, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and thioguanine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Leucovorin decreases the toxic effects of methotrexate. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy may work better then combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with B-ALL. This trial also assigns patients into different chemotherapy treatment regimens based on risk (the chance of cancer returning after treatment). Treating patients with chemotherapy based on risk may help doctors decide which patients can best benefit from which chemotherapy treatment regimens.

• Patients must have the ability to swallow whole capsules
• Patients must have receptive and expressive language skills in English or Spanish to complete the quality of life (QOL) and neurocognitive assessments
• All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent.
• All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met.

• Patients with any serious medical or psychiatric illness/ condition, including substance use disorders likely in the judgement of the investigator to interfere or limit compliance with study requirements/treatment are not eligible
• Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not able to comply with the study procedures are not eligible
• Female patients who are pregnant are not eligible since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have been noted for several of the study drugs. A pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential
• Lactating females who plan to breastfeed their infants are not eligible
• Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of their study participation and for 12 weeks after stopping study therapy are not eligible
• Note: Women of child-bearing potential and males with sexual partners who are pregnant or who could become pregnant (i.e., women of child-bearing potential) should use effective methods of contraception for the duration of the study and for 12 weeks after stopping study therapy to avoid pregnancy and/or potential adverse effects on the developing embryo
• Cardiac conditions:
• Known genetic disorder that increases risk for coronary artery disease. Note: The presence of dyslipidemia in a family with a history of myocardial infarction is not in itself an exclusion unless there is a known genetic disorder documented
• Symptomatic heart failure
• New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV prior or current cardiomyopathy
• Severe valvular heart disease
• History of atrial fibrillation
• Ophthalmologic conditions:
• Current or past history of central serous retinopathy

• Patients with uncontrolled glaucoma
• If checking pressure is clinically indicated, patients with intraocular pressure (IOP) > 22 mmHg or ULN adjusted by age are not eligible
• Ophthalmological findings secondary to long-standing optic pathway glioma (such as visual loss, optic nerve pallor, or strabismus) or longstanding orbito-temporal plexiform neurofibroma (PN), such as visual loss, strabismus) will NOT be considered a significant abnormality for the purposes of the study
• Treatments and/or medications patient is receiving that would make her/him ineligible, such as:
• Supplementation with vitamin E greater than 100% of the daily recommended dose. Any multivitamin containing vitamin E must be stopped prior to study enrollment even if less than 100% of the daily recommended dosing for vitamin E
• Surgery within 2 weeks prior to enrollment, with the exception of surgical placement for vascular access or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diverting procedures such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt.

MAYFLOWERS-0B-20: A Prospective Study Evaluating Maternal and FetaL Outcomes in the ERa of ModulatorS (MAYFLOWERS)
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study in pregnant women with cystic fibrosis (CF) to characterize forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) changes based on exposure to highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The key factors contributing to the change in lung function during pregnancy and for 2 years post-delivery will be evaluated along with assessment of fetal and maternal outcomes.
