A Natural History Study of Angelman Syndrome
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the natural progression of Angelman syndrome (AS) in children and adults with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of AS. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do developmental skills, such as communication, motor abilities, and adaptive behaviors, change over …
Perineal Massage Using A Pelvic Wand During Pregnancy
There is limited research on the optimal strategy to reduce obstetric laceration, postpartum urinary retention, and postpartum pelvic pain. In systematic reviews, clinician-directed massage of the perineal muscles at the time of birth and patient directed massage of the perineal muscles in the third trimester to inconsistently reduce the incidence …
Substrates for Post-Stroke Arm Rehabilitation
Difficulty moving the arm is very common and a major cause of disability after stroke. Although rehabilitation therapies (i.e., occupational and physical therapy) are the most common treatments used to improve arm motor function, it remains unknown how therapy actually changes brain pathways after stroke. This project seeks to generate …
Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of APR-2020 in Pediatric and Adolescent Subjects With RPS19 Deficient Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
Brief summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if APR-2020 is safe and can help treat Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) in adolescents and children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is APR-2020 safe and well tolerated? Does APR-2020 modify or correct an underlying genetic condition which …
Investigating Subcortical Contributions to Speech Sequencing in Deep Brain Stimulator Recipients
This study will examine how two important brain circuits - one involving the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and one involving the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) - contribute to learning and producing speech sequences. Participants will include two groups: 1. individuals with Parkinson's disease who have deep brain stimulation …
Mezigdomide and Talquetamab in Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This is a phase 1 study to find the recommended dose and schedule of mezigdomide and talquetamab in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and to test the effects of the drugs on cancer. Cohort A will receive talquetamab + dexamethasone, then mezigdomide + talquetamab,+ dexamethasone. After Cohort A, Cohort …
Pramipexole Versus Escitalopram to Treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Comorbid MDD With Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (MND) in Persons With HIV
A phase II, randomized, open-label, two-arm clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of pramipexole extended release (ER) versus escitalopram for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and comorbid MDD with mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) in persons with HIV (PWH). Participants will be assessed comprehensively and briefly at intercurrent …
Gene Discovery Core, The Manton Center
The Gene Discovery Core at The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research based at Boston Children's Hospital studies families with rare, poorly understood or undiagnosed, but suspected genetic conditions. The primary goal of the research is to better understand the genes and proteins (gene products) involved in rare diseases. The …
