A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THE MATERNA PREP DEVICE IN REDUCING PELVIC MUSCLE INJURIES DURING VAGINAL DELIVERY

Purpose

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Materna Prep Device in reducing pelvic muscle injuries during vaginal delivery.

Could this study be right for you?

You may be eligible for this study if you: 1. Are scheduled for vaginal birth. 2. Are pregnant with a single fetus. 3. Haven't given birth previously, or had a previous pregnancy terminated within 24 weeks gestation. 4. Are willing to comply with the protocol required follow-up visits. 5.

Begin labor with less than 36 weeks gestation. 4. Have a neurological disorder that could cause pelvic floor dysfunction, such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury 5. Have a collagen-associated disorder that affects tissue elasticity, such as scleroderma or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 6. Have a localized (genital tract) or systemic infection. 7. Have had prior surgical procedures to the vaginal anatomy which could lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, such as pelvic fractures or pelvic soft tissue injuries 8. Have any general health condition or systemic disease that may represent, in the opinion of the investigator, a potential increased risk associated with device use or pregnancy. 9. Have placenta previa or vasa previa. 10. Have a known significant chromosomal or structural fetal anomalies. 11. Have a category 2 and/or 3 fetal tracing that is unresolved.

A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Long-Term, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Obeticholic Acid in Subjects with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Purpose

This research study is for those who have nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue). Because of your condition, you may be eligible for a research study on an investigational drug for your condition. The Regenerate Study will assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational medication obeticholic acid (OCA) compared to placebo in delaying specific medical conditions or health related issues that can occur in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue).

Could this study be right for you?

- Age 18 or older
- Diagnosed with Stage 2 or 3 NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis--meaning your liver is swollen and damaged because of a buildup of fat in your liver) and some liver fibrosis (which is damaged and scarred liver tissue).

If you are eligible and decide to take part in this research study, you will need to complete 1 or 2 screening visits to see if you are eligible to participate in the study. Once the study doctor determines you can participate in the study, you will be asked to come back to the clinic 8 times (for the Month 0 [Day 1] Visit, the Month 1 Visit, the Month 3 Visit, and then every 3 months) for the first 18 months you are in the study and then 2 times per year (every 6 months) for each additional year you are in the study.
