This multi-centered, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of home use of the novel Reia System (RS), which includes the Reia pessary and applicator, compared to standard pessary care (Gellhorn or ring with/without support without knob) among women with stage II-IV pelvic organ prolapse (POP). A total of 182 participants will be recruited among pessary naïve patients who are symptomatic and choose a vaginal pessary for management of their POP from study sites specializing in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS). Participants will be assigned via 1:1 randomization using computer generated numbers in permutated groups of variable block sizes to either the intervention (the Reia System, RS) or standard pessary care (SPC) stratified by site. Participation in this trial will involve a total of four visits over six months. The primary outcome measure will be the number of successful self-managed pessary removal events completed over the six-month time frame. Secondary outcomes will include validated surveys to assess quality of life, adverse events and satisfaction with treatment. Specific Aims Aim 1: To compare number of self-management events over a 6-month period between subjects randomized to the Reia System and those randomized to standard of care pessary. Aim 2: To assess successful fitting, number of refitting visits, and continued pessary use over a 6-month period between subjects randomized to the Reia System and those randomized to standard of care pessary. Aim 3: To compare satisfaction with treatment and quality of life over a 6-month period between subjects randomized to the Reia System and those randomized to standard of care pessary. Aim 4: To measure rates of adverse events and risk factors for adverse events over a 6-month period between subjects randomized to the Reia System and those randomized to standard of care pessary.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly, and type 1 diabetes. In people with type 1 diabetes, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. CKD often occurs together with or as a consequence of type 1 diabetes. The study treatment finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and type 2 diabetes. In this study, researchers want to learn if finerenone works better than placebo in reducing the participants' kidney disease from getting worse when given in addition to standard of care (SOC) treatment. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. SOC is a procedure or treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate for a condition or disease. To find out how well finerenone works, the level of a protein (albumin) in the urine will be measured. Researchers also want to know how safe finerenone is. To do this, the researchers will collect the number of participants with: - medical problems (also called treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)) - serious TEAEs. An TEAE is considered 'serious' when it leads to death, puts the participant's life at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems, or is medically important - higher than normal blood levels of potassium (hyperkalaemia). Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take finerenone or placebo, Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their regular SOC medicines. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, they will visit the study site at least 6 times. The study team will: - collect blood and urine samples - check the participants' vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do a physical examination including height and weight - check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - do pregnancy tests in women of childbearing potential

This is a multicenter, Phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug emactuzumab for the treatment of patients with localized or diffuse TGCT where surgical removal of the tumor is not viewed as an option. The study consists of two parts. In Part 1, eligible subjects will be assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either emactuzumab or matching placebo in a double-blind fashion, that will be administered in total 5 times as an intravenous (i.v.) infusion once every 2 weeks. This will be followed by an observation period of 3 months leading to a total duration of 24 weeks in Part 1. A number of assessments will be carried out during the course of the study, including physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies, electrocardiograms, and questionnaires. Part 2 is a long-term double-blind follow-up phase of the subjects on emactuzumab or placebo. Subjects assigned to placebo in Part 1 have the option, subject to eligibility, to crossover to receive open-label emactuzumab in Part 2. Subjects assigned to active drug in Part 1 have the option to receive open-label retreatment under certain circumstances.
