Development of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging Techniques for Imaging Metabolites in Human Brain and Muscle
Background \- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used scanning technique to obtain images of the human body and evaluate activity in the brain. A particular MRI method called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can be used to study brain chemistry as well, which may help researchers who are studying …
Safety and Immunogenicity of Recombinant Varicella Zoster Virus Vaccine in People With HIV Who Have a CD4 Count Less Than 300 or Greater Than or Equal to 300 and a Healthy Control Population
Background Shingles is a painful, blistering rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingrix is a vaccine approved to prevent shingles in healthy adults over age 50 and in immunocompromised adults over age 18. Researchers want to learn more about how people with HIV respond to Shingrix. Objective …
Resiniferatoxin to Treat Severe Pain Associated With Advanced Cancer
This study will examine the safety of giving the experimental drug, resiniferatoxin (RTX), to treat severe pain in patients with advanced cancer. RTX is a chemical extracted from a cactus-like plant. It is similar to capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot pepper. RTX has relieved pain and reduced the need …
Apheresis of Patients With Immunodeficiency
Background \- Gene therapy is being investigated as a possible treatment for individuals with immunodeficiency diseases or other conditions that make it difficult to fight off infection. Gene therapy avoids problems with donor identification and possible rejection of bone marrow transplant by using the patient s own modified blood cells …
Characterization of Nociception Phenotype in Individuals With Intellectual Disability
Background People with intellectual disability (ID) often have physical disabilities as well. These physical problems can affect their bones, muscles, nerves, and gastrointestinal tracts. All of these issues can also cause pain. Yet little research has been done on pain in people with ID. Objective To compare brain responses to …
Children and Adults With Chordoma
Background Chordoma is a rare type of bone cancer. It occurs in the skull base or spine. Researchers want to study people with chordoma in different ways. They hope this will help them design better future treatments and supportive care studies for this disease. Objective To learn more about chordoma …
Imaging and Biopsy of People With HIV-1 Undergoing Analytic Treatment Interruption
Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects CD4 T cells. There is no cure for HIV. People with HIV need to take daily medications called antiretroviral therapy (ART) to control their infection. ART stops HIV from infecting cells, but HIV does not go away. Some infected cells remain. If ART is …
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cannabidiol Oral Solution (CBD-OS [GWP42003-P, JZP926]) for the Treatment of Focal-Onset Seizures
Cannabidiol oral solution (CBD-OS) is approved in the US for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), or Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in patients 1 year of age and older. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of CBD-OS in participants aged 12 to …
A Synthetic Lethality-Focused Algorithm to Identify Therapeutic Options in Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer (SYNTHESIS-Breast)
Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer in US women. There are different types of breast cancers; some are aggressive and difficult to treat. Researchers want to know if an algorithm (ENLIGHT) can help choose approved drugs that will treat these cancers more effectively. Objective To test whether ENLIGHT …
Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Baricitinib in Patients With Job Syndrome With Lupus-Like Disease and/or Atopic Dermatitis
Background Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), also called Job syndrome, is a genetic disorder that affects the immune system. It can cause skin and lung infections and problems with blood vessels, connective tissues, and bones. People with HIES often have lupus-like disease or atopic dermatitis (skin rash). Researchers want to …
