Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, students in North Carolina and throughout the world have suffered learning lags particularly in mathematics. Declines in overall proficiency scores of most student subgroups have been reported nationwide. Local efforts to recover learning have yielded minimal gains over the past three years, and this study seeks to uncover the secret to successful supplemental education program models that help to increase academic gains for underachieving student subgroups in mathematics.

Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine differences in proportions of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, comparing eltrekibart versus placebo, in adult patients with moderate-to-severe UC. This will be followed by a 40-week Maintenance Period to explore safety and the durability of remission.
