We are doing this study to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation.
Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same.
Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe.
Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly.
The study is expected to last for 2.5 to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits.
Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram).
Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.

The purpose of this research study is to compare previously used vinblastine/prednisone to single therapy with cytarabine for LCH. We will evaluate the utility of an imaging study called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to more accurately assess areas of LCH involvement not otherwise seen in other imaging studies as well as response to therapy. We also want to identify if genetic and other biomarkers (special proteins in patient's blood and in patient's cancer) relate to the response of patients LCH to study treatment.

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.

We propose to develop an informatics system to assist people with memory impairment. Early stages of Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's related dementia often causes memory concerns. Persons with Memory Concern often cannot match names with faces or cannot recognize faces with a sure feeling of familiarity. Persons with Memory Concern (PWMC) may have difficulty remembering the names of family members and friends or may address them with a wrong name. They recognize the faces they see daily, such as a spouse or caregiver, but they may confuse visiting friends and
grandchildren. The inability to remember names or relationships contributes to isolation and deeply affects their social lives. The proposed solution is a Smartwatch Reminder (SR) system to conspicuously provide this information to the PWMC when needed. This system will automatically transmit pictures and relevant information to a smartwatch worn by the PWMC when family or friends visit. The system will be evaluated on the target persons with memory concern population to measure engagement and improvements in social interactions and quality of life.

CP is a progressive fibro-inflammatory disease where EPI develops due to destruction of pancreatic parenchyma or pancreatic duct distortion. EPI results in maldigestion, leading to fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, weight loss, malnutrition, and impaired quality of life (Qol). Signs and symptoms of EPI include abdominal bloating and cramping, diarrhea, foul-smelling, greasy stools (steatorrhea), and unintentional weight loss. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the mainstay of treatment of EPI. Treatment is aimed at reduction of maldigestion-related symptoms, and prevention of malnutrition and its related morbidity and mortality. CREON® is a PERT that has been FDA approved since 2009 for the treatment of EPI due to cystic fibrosis, CP, pancreatectomy, or other conditions

The purpose of this pilot research study is to test whether a tool called “High-Resolution Manometry” can diagnose laryngeal dystonia (also known as spasmodic dysphonia) and measure how well treatment works.
High-Resolution Manometry measures pressures from a small catheter that is passed from your nose into your throat. We believe that pressures in the throat might be different for people with laryngeal dystonia than for people without laryngeal dystonia, or with other types of voice disorders.
If we can diagnose laryngeal dystonia shortly after symptoms start, we can get patients the treatment they need sooner.

This early phase I trial compares a new method for dosing vincristine in infants and young children to the standard dosing method based on body size in older children. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine, 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. The same dose of a drug cannot be given to all children because they vary a lot in size from infancy to adolescence. The dose of most anticancer drugs is based on a measure of body size called the body surface area (BSA). BSA is calculated from a patient's weight and height. However, infants and young children have more severe side effects if the BSA is used to calculate their dose, so adjustments have to be made to safely give anticancer drugs to the youngest patients. A new method for dosing anticancer drugs in infants and young children has been developed that uses body size to determine the dose. Collecting blood samples over time may help researchers understand how the new vincristine dosing method affects drug levels in the blood over time in infants and young children compared to older children.

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them.
The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

The central hypothesis of this project is that VA-ECMO support significantly reduces preload and transpulmonary flow while prompting a clinically insignificant rise in afterload, therefore leading to an overall decline in myocardial stroke work and energy expenditure at higher levels of support, contrary to the prevailing opinion. We will test this hypothesis in patients treated with VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock in our institution due to ACS related presentations. The rationale is that a refined understanding of the hemodynamic mechanisms of short-term mechanical support can better aid treatment of patients for VA-ECMO, thus mitigating morbidity and mortality and optimizing outcomes for patients in cardiogenic shock.

This is pilot study designed to test the hypothesis that maternal probiotic supplementation is associated with infant gut microbiome variation and improved neurodevelopmental outcomes as measured by ERP performance. The primary aim is to determine if maternal probiotic supplementation during pregnancy and lactation is associated with improved recognition memory performance in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs). This will involve recruitment and enrollment of pregnant mothers who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and randomization to an intervention or control group. Women in the intervention group will receive a standardized probiotic supplement during the third trimester of pregnancy through the first month of lactation. We will compare the IDMs who are exposed to probiotics via maternal supplementation or not with respect to auditory and visual ERPs at 1 and 6 months of age to determine if probiotic supplementation is associated with improved hippocampus function in infancy. The secondary aim is to examine whether maternal probiotic supplementation during pregnancy and lactation is associated with differences in maternal milk and infant fecal microbiome signatures as well as maternal milk and infant serum inflammatory protein levels. Microbial analysis will be performed on infant stool and maternal breast milk samples at one and six months of age. Infant serum and maternal breast milk inflammatory protein levels will be measured at one and six months postpartum.

Inclusion Criteria:
? Pregnant women (please see description of safeguards in Section: Vulnerable populations) in their second or third trimester with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes. Gestation is determined by either self-report of estimated delivery date, or from medical records information (last menstrual period, ultrasound dating or other sources of information on date of conception), depending on which method of recruitment is used.
Screening for gestational diabetes involves a 2-step (screening test followed by a diagnostic test) approach is commonly used. A 50-g oral glucose challenge test (OGCT) is performed between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation in a non-fasting state. If the screening threshold is met or exceeded, patients receive the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). During the OGTT, a fasting glucose level is obtained, followed by administration of a 75-g or 100-g glucose load, then evaluation of glucose levels after 1, 2, and often 3 hours. A diagnosis of gestational diabetes is made when 2 or more glucose values fall at or above the specified glucose thresholds (ACOG 2017).
? BMI 18.5-45 kg/m2 at first prenatal visit
? Age 21-45 at time of delivery
? Pregnant women who report during enrollment procedures that they have social support for and intention to exclusively breastfeed for at least 3 months (breastfeeding intentions are known to be correlated with actual behavior)
? Singleton pregnancy
Exclusion Criteria:
? Alcohol consumption >1 drink per week during pregnancy/lactation
? Tobacco consumption during pregnancy/lactation
? Inability to speak/understand English
? Known congenital metabolic, endocrine disease (other than GDM), or congenital illness affecting infant feeding

Inclusion Criteria:
All newly diagnosed patients with suspected neuroblastoma, suspected ganglioneuroblastoma, or suspected ganglioneuroma/maturing subtype seen at Children's Oncology Group (COG) institutions are eligible for this study
There will be no penalty under any circumstances for enrollment of a patient whose definitive institutional diagnosis, or central review diagnosis, is found to be a tumor other than neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma/ maturing subtype
Patients may not have received chemotherapy prior to enrollment on ANBL00B1 and procurement of study-related tissues with the following exception:
Patients that in the opinion of the treating physician are too ill to undergo pre-treatment tissue biopsy and require EMERGENT chemotherapy may be enrolled on ANBL00B1; documentation of the emergent nature of therapy initiation is required
It is required that a good faith effort (documented by specimen tracking) be made to submit a neuroblastoma sample (tumor, metastasis, and/or tumor-involved bone marrow) of sufficient quality for MYCN analysis in the Neuroblastoma Reference Laboratory in order for any newly diagnosed patient to be enrolled on ANBL00B1; this should be obtained prior to initiation of therapy
Exceptions
In rare cases, patients may be deemed too ill to undergo pre-treatment tissue biopsy and require EMERGENT therapy; the following eligibility guidelines apply to these cases:
For presumed INSS stage 4S patients: Efforts to submit tumor tissue (e.g., primary tumor, skin nodule, or metastatic site) within 96 hours of EMERGENT therapy initiation should be made; however, if the child is deemed too unstable for such a procedure they may still be enrolled as long as pre-treatment peripheral blood and serum have been submitted
For all other INSS stages: tumor tissue should be obtained as soon as possible within 96 hours of EMERGENT therapy initiation; patients without tumor tissues submitted within this time-frame are not eligible for enrollment
Note: it may not be possible to obtain all necessary tumor biomarkers for therapy stratification in such cases; if a patient enrolled on ANBL00B1 undergoes an additional diagnostic procedure within 96 hours of initiating therapy, additional tumor specimens may be submitted to obtain biomarkers used for risk classification; the decision to perform such procedures, and/or submit these specimens, is to be made by the managing clinicians and should reflect the clinical need to know the status of such biomarkers
Patients enrolled on ANBL1232 in Group A (either A1 or A2) will not have a tumor biopsy or resection upfront; tumor tissue submission is therefore not required for these patients to enroll on ANBL00B1; a peripheral blood and serum sample is the only specimen required to be submitted for this group of patients; should they undergo a biopsy or resection at a later date tumor can be submitted for biomarker testing at this time
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
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with relapsed neuroblastoma who were not enrolled on ANBL00B1 at original diagnosis are NOT eligible; samples should be submitted as part of the ABTR04B1 protocol
This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma and may help to avoid some of the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.
