Mechanical Insufflation in the Philadelphia Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Cohort (MI-PALS) Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how doing mechanical insufflation (MI) using a mechanical insufflator-exsufflator (MI-E) device affects breathing in early amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This will be a single-center, single-arm study of MI in 20 patients with ALS at Penn. Based on prior research, we believe …
Strict Versus Permissive Thresholds for Initiation of Pharmacotherapy in Gestational Diabetes (START 2)

To Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MANP in Subjects With Difficult to Control/ Resistant Hypertension
This is a Phase 2 dose-titration study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MANP subcutaneous injection compared to placebo in reducing baseline daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP), derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in subjects with hypertension who are taking 3 or more antihypertensive medications with …
Radiation Free Study
This is a prospective, randomized, unblinded, multi-center study. Sites were selected from different geographies (EU and US) with different clinical practice to ensure the results are more generalizable. Primary objective is to demonstrate that the average procedure fluoroscopy time using LumiGuide is lower compared to conventional fluoroscopy guidance in Fenestrated …

A Phase 1 dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of anito-cel in subjects with generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG). Anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) is a BCMA-directed CAR-T cell therapy.
Home-Based Exercise Program Using Mobile Technology After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a home-based exercise program using mobile technology on physical activity and capacity, frailty and muscle mass, and quality of life in patients with a newly implanted HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device (HM3 LVAD). Researchers will compare the …
Bupivacaine/Epinephrine +Dexamethasone vs. Liposomal Bupivacaine
This study will assess analgesia after robotic lung surgery. Subjects will be randomized to receive wound infiltration and intercostal nerve block with either liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone. Liposomal bupivacaine is a newer local anesthetic product and has not been compared to a combination of bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone in …
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + Language Therapy to Treat Mild Aphasia
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) combined with Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) is an effective treatment for mild aphasia in persons with chronic stroke. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can TMS combined with SLT improve conversational speech and comprehension? …
