Natural History of Systemic and Nasal Mucosal Immunity to Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in Adults After Vaccination
Background Influenza (flu) vaccinations are required for all NIH staff members who have direct contact with patients. COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for persons 6 months of age and older. Researchers want to learn about immunity in NIH staff members who get a flu and/or COVID-19 vaccine. Objective To understand what …
Fontan Associated Liver Disease and the Evaluation of Biomarkers for Disease Severity Assessment
Background In Fontan Associated Liver Disease (FALD), congestion of blood in the liver causes cirrhosis. This condition can cause death. Researchers want to understand what triggers this process and find new treatments for it. Objective To understand how long-term congestion of blood in the liver causes liver scarring that eventually …
Effect of Corticosteroids on Inflammation at the Edge of Acute Multiple Sclerosis Plaques
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MS lesions can appear on the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans in many ways. Sometimes they light up from the outer edge and fill inward. This is called ring enhancement. Researchers think this type of lesion may not …
Individualized Treatment Plan in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma
The current study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant's tumor. The study will test the feasibility in the pilot phase of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery in patients with relapsed medulloblastoma or ependymoma and of having a specialized …
Electrical Impedance Myography: Natural History Studies inNeuromuscular Disorders and Healthy Volunteers
Background \- Electrical impedance myography (EIM) is a new technique being studied to see if it is helpful in evaluating muscle disorders and nerve disorders. EIM looks at how a mild, painless electrical current travels through muscles. Researchers want to gain experience in using the EIM device. They will collect …
An Open-Label, Proof of Consent Study of Vorinostat for the Treatment of Mdoerate-to-Severe Crohn s Disease and Maintenance Therapy With Ustekinumab
Background Crohn s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation of the gut. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. CD has no cure, but symptoms can sometimes be controlled with medicine. Researchers want to see if it is safe to treat CD …
Nivolumab in Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Positive Lymphoproliferative Disorders and EBV-Positive Non-HodgkinLymphomas
Background The drug Nivolumab has been approved to treat some cancers. Researchers want to see if it can slow the growth of other cancers. They want to study its effects on cancers that may have not responded to chemotherapy or other treatments. Objectives To see if Nivolumab slows the growth …
Administration of Autologous T-Cells Genetically Engineered to Express T-Cell Receptors Reactive Against Neoantigens in People With Metastatic Cancer
Background A person s tumor is studied for mutations. When cells are found that can attack the mutation in a person s tumor, the genes from those cells are studied to find the parts that make the attack possible. White blood cells are then taken from the person s body, …
PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Background About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated …
CHIP/CCUS Natural History Protocol
Background Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) is a change in a person s DNA that can increase a person s risk of developing blood cancers or cardiovascular disease. CHIP occurs mostly occurs in older people. Clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) occurs when one or more blood cell types …
