An Open-Label Exploratory Study of Fosigotifator in Participants With Vanishing White Matter Disease
Fosigotifator is an investigational drug being researched for the treatment of Vanishing White Matter disease in adult, pediatric and infant participants. This is a 201-week, open-label, multiple cohort study enrolling adults, pediatric and infant participants with Vanishing White Matter disease. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the …
Type 1 Diabetes Management Using a Very Low Carbohydrate Versus Standard Diet
Despite major technological advances, management of type one diabetes mellitus (T1D) remains suboptimal, putting millions of people at risk for immediate and long-term complications. After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control …
The Accuracy Of A Novel Platelet Activity Assay In Humans On Antiplatelet Agents: Pharmacodynamics And Comparison With Light Transmission Aggregometry
The purpose of this study is to test a novel diagnostic immunoassay of platelet function and compare it to the current gold standard platelet function assay by testing the response to aspirin and clopidogrel in a group of healthy volunteers and severely obese individuals and comparing the accuracy of the …
Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Pulsation (LIFUP) for the Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
There are few treatment options available for patients once they have failed standard psychopharmacological therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. Existing brain stimulation methods such as rTMS fail to target deep brain structures associated with anxiety disorders; structures such as the amygdala. In this double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial, the investigators propose …
Pilot Testing a Novel Remotely Delivered Intensive Outpatient Program for Individuals With OUD
This study aims to test a remotely delivered IOP program ("SmartIOP") for OUD patients who are hospitalized for serious injection-related infections. This will be a pilot trial to assess the feasibility of the IOP program and examine OUD-related outcomes following discharge from the hospital.
Assessment of Corneal Endothelial Function Following Hypoxic Stress
The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in the cornea's response to contact lens placement between healthy and unhealthy eyes. The amount of corneal swelling (corneal thickness) between normal and FECD patients before and after a stress test will be measured and compared.
Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenomics of Oral Oxycodone in Pediatric Surgical Patients
Oxycodone is an oral opioid analgesic that is most commonly prescribed for the management of pain in post-operative patients at Boston Children's Hospital. Oxycodone has been widely used in adults and children to relieve post-operative pain. However, its pharmacokinetics (what it does in the body) and pharmacodynamics (how it works) …
The PREDICTOR Study: Assessing Diagnostic Predictors of Airway Collapse in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This study is an exploratory, multicenter study of up to 300 subjects diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated for airway surgery. Subjects will undergo standard evaluation for airway surgery as part of standard of care. In addition to the standard airway assessment, a simple, non-invasive measurement of …
Effect of Blenderized Enteral Tube Feeds on Pediatric Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Physiology
Blenderized diets consist of a wide range of table foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat and legumes, pureed in a blender and administered via gastrostomy tube. In a recent study, the investigators reported that children receiving blenderized feeds via gastrostomy had fewer total admissions and respiratory admissions, total emergency room …
Effects of Ketosis on Brain Function in Patients With T1DM
The scientific goal of this study is to examine the effects of a ketogenic diet on hypoglycemia tolerance and brain function in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and to clarify the mechanistic role of ketones in this process. Glycemic management of T1D is typified by alternating periods of …
