The purpose of this study is to measure the long-term safety and tolerability of ianalumab in participants with Sjogrens syndrome who have previously completed treatment from one of two NEPTUNUS 1 year core studies (CVAY736A2301 or CVAY736A2302). - The study treatment is ianalumab 300 mg in a 2 mL pre-filled syringe for injection. All participants will receive ianalumab either monthly or every 3 months. - The treatment duration will be 3 years with an additional up to 2-year safety follow-up. The total duration of this extension study will be up to 5 years. - The visit frequency will be monthly during both the treatment period and mandatory follow-up, and then less frequently during the subsequent conditional follow-up Treatment of interest: The randomized treatment (ianalumab) will be received monthly or every 3 months. Participants assigned to treatment every 3 months will receive placebo every month between the ianalumab doses to maintain blinding. Number of Participants: Approximately 600 participants from the NEPTUNUS core studies will be rolled over into the extension study. Treatment Groups:There will be no screening period in this trial. From Week 48 of the NEPTUNUS core study, participants will be given the opportunity to consent to this extension study. From Week 52 of the NEPTUNUS core studies (i.e., Day 1 in the extension study), eligible participants will be assigned to either one of the treatment regimens: - ianalumab 300 mg monthly or - ianalumab 300 mg once every 3 months Participants receiving placebo in either of the NEPTUNUS core studies will be randomized 1:1 to receive ianalumab 300 mg monthly or every 3 months starting from Week 60 and participants receiving ianalumab in either of the NEPTUNUS core studies will continue the same treatment in the extension study. Ianalumab will be given as a subcutaneous injection from a 2 mL pre-filled syringe. Participants will be given the opportunity to self-inject at home on some visits after receiving training.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects, safety and how PF-06823859 is processed in adults with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showing some skin symptoms. This study is seeking for participants who: - are adults of 18 years of age or older. - are confirmed to have CLE or SLE with involvement of the skin. - have a Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index activity (CLASI-A) score of at least 8. About 48 participants will be selected to receive active study medicine (PF-06823859) or placebo (an infusion without drug). About 32 are grouped to receive the active study medicine and 16 are to receive placebo. They will be receiving the treatments by intravenous infusion (injected directly into the veins). At week 16 all participants receiving the active study drug since day 1 and participants who have received placebo since day 1 and are not responding clinically will receive active study medication. Patients who have received placebo since Day 1 and who have had a clinical response will continue to receive placebo till week 40. All participants will have last follow-up visit at Week 60. The study will compare participants receiving PF-06823859 to participants who receive placebo. This will help us see if PF-06823859 is safe and effective to treat CLE or SLE with skin symptoms and improve participant's CLASI-A score. Participants will take part in this study for about 65 weeks. This includes up to a 5-week selection period, a 12-week Q4Wk treatment period, a 36-week Q8Wk treatment period, and a 12-week follow-up period.

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%). Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.

Conventional monopolar or bipolar transurethral resection of bladder tumors is the most common method for resection of a bladder mass. En bloc resection has demonstrated success in the literature utilizing different techniques and lasers, including utilizing the Ho:YAG and Tm:YAG lasers. A recent metanalysis revealed several benefits to laser en bloc resection including less complications and lower recurrence rate.22 Subsequently, laser technology has also advanced with the development of a super pulsed TFL which overcomes many limitations of prior traditional lasers. Olympus' SOLTIVE™ TFL, which has demonstrated improved maneuverability and control, has a shallow depth of tissue penetration at 0.15mm leading to precise resection and optimal hemostasis. Despite these beneficial characteristics and qualities along with the promising utility of en bloc resection, the Olympus SOLTIVE™ TFL has not been described in en bloc resection of bladder tumors. The investigator seek to determine if the proposed benefits of this device can be realized both pathologically and clinically in en bloc resection of bladder tumors.

This phase III ALCHEMIST trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

This phase IIA trial compares the effect of acolbifene versus low dose tamoxifen in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women at high risk for developing breast cancer. The usual approach for patients at increased risk for breast cancer is to undergo yearly breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound in addition to yearly mammogram. Premenopausal women at very high lifetime risk for breast cancer (greater than 50%) can consider preventive removal (mastectomy) of both breasts. Premenopausal women age 35 or older with a prior diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, or an estimated 10-year risk of greater than or equal to 3% or estimated 10-year risk of greater than or equal to 2-5 times that of the average woman (depending on age) may be advised to consider five years of standard dose tamoxifen. Standard dose tamoxifen is four times the dose used in this study. Estrogen can cause the development and growth of breast cancer cells. Acolbifene and tamoxifen blocks the use of estrogen by breast cells. This study may help researchers measure the effects of acolbifene and low dose tamoxifen on markers of breast cancer risk in mammogram imaging, breast tissue, and in blood samples.
