4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is conducted globally. The aim of this study is to describe the treatment modalities and outcomes of bleeding episodes, surgery and prophylaxis in patients with factor VII (FVII) deficiency in addition to evaluate the presence (in already treated patients) and/or the appearance of inhibiting antibodies to FVII and/or therapy-related thrombosis. Due to a Novo Nordisk commitment to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), Novo Nordisk receives data on treatment with activated recombinant human FVII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven®) in patients with FVII deficiency from the Seven Treatment Evaluation Registry (STER, NCT01269138). These patients can also have been treated with other haemostatics for systemic administration.
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the PK, bioavailability, PD, efficacy and safety of MarzAA for on demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes in adult subjects with inherited bleeding disorders.
The palliative care needs of family caregivers of children with rare diseases and their children are largely unmet, including the need for support to prepare for future medical decision making. This trial will test the FACE-Rare intervention to see if investigators can identify and meet those needs; and if FACE-Rare effects family caregivers' quality of life and child healthcare utilization. Finally, investigators will determine if the intersectionality of child-sex, family-race, Federal poverty level, and social connection influences family quality of life and child health care utilization longitudinally.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
