Mucolipidosis Type IV Natural History Study
The primary objectives of the study are: to describe the characteristics of the current international MLIV population; to define the median age at which patients with MLIV achieve or lose developmental milestones; to define the natural history of MLIV for the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) (Morris and Bartlett, …
Responses to Genetic Risk Modifier Testing Among Women With BRCA1/2 Mutations
The purpose of this study is to describe how women with BRCA1/2 mutations react to genetic risk modifier testing, and to examine how they make decisions about their healthcare.
MRI-Guided Cryoablation to Alleviate Pain in Head, Neck and Spine
The objective of this study is to provide pain relief to patients with facet joint disease or head and neck pain related to compression of a nerve root. The goal is to provide palliative care with superior efficacy and longer relief compared to current methods.
Child and Adolescent Registry for Participants With Narcolepsy
CATNAP is a patient registry designed to improve the understanding of the natural history of narcolepsy in pediatric patients. Descriptive statistics on disease characteristics will be performed. The study has 16 active clinical sites and a virtual site that widens participation to anywhere in the United States. For more information …
Medically Intensive Nutrition Therapy Program for Obesity and Diabetes in a Low-income Population
This study is being done to better understand whether meal replacements can be an effective tool for weight loss and treatment of elevated blood sugars in people with obesity/overweight and diabetes/pre-diabetes who have a low income.
NIRS Monitoring in Premature Infants
This study uses frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with diffuse correlation spectroscopy (FDNIRS-DCS) technology for monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2) at the bedside for newborns with germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) and/or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) in comparison to newborns with hydrocephalus of a different etiology (VC) …
Physiological Assessment of Severe Coronary Stenosis for Informing Planned PCI
Traditionally, the severity of a blockage (stenosis) in a coronary artery has been determined by visual angiographic assessment of the diameter of the artery at the level of a blockage compared to a normal healthy area of the same artery. With the advent of invasive physiological testing to assess coronary …
Study to Evaluate Biological & Clinical Effects of Significantly Corrected CFTR Function in Infants & Young Children
This is a two-part, multi-center, prospective longitudinal, exploratory study of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and their impact on children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Biomarker Development for Muscular Dystrophies
Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose of this research is to learn about the possibility …
Extracellular RNA Biomarkers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose of this research is to learn about the possibility …
