A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine PF-08052667 in People With Bladder Cancer
The purpose of this study is to learn how a new medicine called PF-08052667 works when used by itself or together with another medicine called Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG), and/or a medicine called sasanlimab. This study is for adults who have a type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer of the bladder but is more likely to come back or grow. It includes people whose cancer has come back or hasn't gone away after receiving standard treatments like BCG. It may also include people who, based on their doctor's opinion, cannot receive standard treatments or those treatments are not available to them. The study has three parts: * Part 1 (monotherapy dose escalation) will test PF-08052667 as a single-agent at increasing dose levels in participants with certain bladder cancer whose disease has worsened on or after standard treatments. * Part 2 (combination dose escalation) will test PF-08052667 in combination with BCG and/or sasanlimab (fixed dose) in participants with certain bladder cancer whose disease has worsened on or after standard treatments. * Part 3 (dose optimization and expansion) will further test PF-08052667 as a single agent or in combination with BCG and/or sasanlimab, at the dose(s) based on findings from Part 1 and Part 2 in participants with certain bladder cancer including those who has never received standard treatments. All participants will receive the study drug PF-08052667. Only participants in Part 2 and Part 3 of the study will also receive BCG and/or sasanlimab. PF-08052667 will be given as an intravesical infusion, which means it will be injected directly into the bladder. Sasanlimab will be given as a subcutaneous injection, which means it will be injected under the skin. For all parts, treatment with study medicines will continue until either a participant has decided to stop taking part in the study or is asked to leave the study for various reasons or up to about 2 years, whichever occurs first. Duration of trial participation for each participant will vary as long-term follow-up will continue after treatment discontinuation until loss to-follow-up or death, or until the study is stopped by the sponsor.

Periprostatic Neurolysis in Prostate Cancer
The purpose of this research study is to assess whether inhibiting nerve activity to the prostate delays progression of disease in men with high-risk clinical features for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer has been shown to invade nerves, a mechanism that is thought to be involved in prostate cancer spread in men with high-risk cancer. When nerve activity to the prostate is blocked in mice with prostate cancer, prostate cancer growth and spread are inhibited. In a previous study we showed that doing so in humans was safe and may have anticancer therapeutic effect. In this study we will test whether one versus two injections of nerve blocking agent is more effective at reducing nerves in the prostate and whether it will slow/stop spread of prostate cancer after treatment.

A Study to Test Vicadrostat (BI 690517) Taken Together With Empagliflozin in People With Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease
This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure. The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called vicadrostat, when taken with empagliflozin, helps reduce cardiovascular risk in people with these conditions. The study will compare this combination to a placebo version of vicadrostat with empagliflozin. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets with empagliflozin. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once per day for 2 and a half years and up to 4 years and 3 months. All participants also continue their medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Participants have an equal chance of receiving the study medicine or placebo. Participants are in the study for up to 4 years and 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. During these visits, doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples. The doctors document when participants experience cardiovascular events. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

A Study Describing Scratch and Sleep Patterns in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis (Luminaria)
This study will collect information from patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). PBC is a progressive rare liver disease in which tubes in the liver called bile ducts are damaged. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). People living with PBC often face challenges like intense itching, trouble sleeping, and feeling constantly tired. These symptoms can make it hard for them to enjoy daily life and feel well overall. While itching and sleep patterns can be difficult to measure accurately based on recall and may lack precision, the main aim of this study is to use a digital health tool to assess the severity of itchiness and sleep patterns in people with PBC. The tool will take the objective measurement for people so they do not have to recall their scratch and sleep patterns. The total study duration for each patient will be about 91 days.

Recovery Through Inspiration, Support, and Empowerment (RISE)
The goal of this pilot study is to test the effectiveness of a novel intervention for young adults (ages 18-27) with mental health conditions who have been released from an acute care psychiatric facility. The intervention aims to reduce suicidality, depression, anxiety, re-hospitalization, and improve mental health recovery by using outpatient services. The current standard of care (SOC) for these patients at discharge includes a discharge plan with a list of their medications, anticipated outpatient appointments, and information on when and where to find community resources. The intervention being tested involves the implementation of a mental health recovery education and support program, involving one-on-one and small group meetings led by Peer Support Specialists (PSS) and Recovery Community Organizations (RCO). Participants will be assigned to either Cohort A or B for 8 weeks. Cohort A will be the intervention group with PSS and RCOs. * Weeks 1-4: One-on-one meetings with PSS for education and support. Assessments will be completed at weeks 2 and 4. * Weeks 5 and 7: One-on-one meetings with PSS for education and support. * Week 6 and 8: Group meetings with PSS and other participants from RCOs. Assessments will be completed during these weeks. Cohort B will be the SOC group with no PSS or RCOs. * Weeks 1-4: Weekly check in phone calls with a member of the research team. Assessments will be completed at weeks 2 and 4. * Weeks 5-8: Check in phone calls with a member of the research team every other week. Assessments will be completed at weeks 6 and 8. Data collected from participant assessments, adherence to medication, and re-admittance to a psychiatric facility will be used to compare the intervention to the SOC.

The Effect of Adiposity on Muscle and Microvascular Function in HFpEF
This project is an observational study in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who are candidates for treatment with weight loss medication to manage obesity or diabetes as part of their standard clinical care. This study will include multiple experimental visits before and after treatment (minimum 7 percent weight loss, between 9-12 months) to understand how increased adiposity and inflammation effects skeletal muscle and cardiovascular health and function and to examine the effect of medically directed weight loss on skeletal muscle health and exercise tolerance. The objective of this study is to 1. Define the mechanisms by which adiposity impairs exercise hemodynamics, microvascular function, and oxygen transport/utilization in patients with HFpEF. 2. Determine if intensive medically directed weight loss can reduce microvascular inflammation and normalize exercise hemodynamics. 3. Quantify the effect of medically directed weight loss on skeletal muscle function and catabolism. Hypotheses 1. Perfusion of subcutaneous adipose tissue disrupts blood flow distribution and impairs muscle microvascular perfusion and exercise hemodynamics. 2. Extramyocellular muscular lipid deposition and microvascular endothelial inflammation is associated with reduced capillarity and impaired microvascular perfusions, while intramyocellular triglyceride content is associated with poor skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, 3. Intensive weight loss will improve exercise hemodynamics, microvascular perfusion, and reduce muscular inflammation, and resistance training will augment these effects.

A Study to Assess Adverse Events and Effectiveness of Gel Stent (XEN63) Implantation Using Ab Interno and Ab Externo Approaches in Adult Participants With Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the world, second only to cataracts. This study will assess how safe and effective a glaucoma gel stent is when implanted using the ab interno (inside the eye) and ab externo (outside the eye) approach. Adverse events and intraocular pressure will be assessed. XEN63 is an investigational device for the treatment of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma when both medical and conventional surgical treatments have failed (for US approval) and when medical treatments have failed (for outside US \[OUS\] approval). Participants will be placed in one of two groups called study arms. One group will receive the XEN63 gel stent ab interno (inside the eye) and the other group will receive the XEN63 gel stent ab externo (outside the eye). Approximately 130 participants aged 45 years or older with glaucoma will be enrolled in this study at approximately 32 sites in the United States. Participants will receive XEN63 implanted using either the ab interno approach or the ab externo approach on Day 1 and will be followed for 12 months. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety and effect of the gel stent on your glaucoma will be checked by medical assessments and eye examinations.
