Cybersickness is similar to motion sickness. Symptoms include eye strain, nausea, dizziness, or headache. The symptoms are usually mild and go away after the person stops using …
A Phase I Trial Anti-CC Chemokine Receptor 4 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CCR4 CAR T Cells) for CCR4 Expressing T-cell Malignancies Including Peripheral T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (CTCL)
Background Chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is a protein that is found on the surface of certain T-cell lymphoma cells and is common in mature T-cell cancers. White blood cells can be changed with molecules called anti-CCR4 to express a chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), which is a molecule that directs a …

Suvorexant for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD): Neural Mechanisms
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. New treatments for AUD are needed. Dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between brain cells, is thought to play a role in alcohol addiction. Researchers want to learn how Suvorexant, a drug used to treat sleep …
VIR-2218 and Peginterferon Alfa-2a for Chronic Hepatitis B
Background Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects 292 million people worldwide; 887,000 die each year from cirrhosis, liver cancer, and related issues. Treatment options are limited. Objective To test 2 drugs (VIR-2218 and peginterferon) in people with mild or inactive HBV infection. Eligibility People aged 18 to 65 years …
