Targeting Residual Activity By Precision, Biomarker-Guided Combination Therapies of Multiple Sclerosis (TRAP-MS)
Background In people with multiple sclerosis (MS), brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers indicate inflammation or disease. Researchers want to see if 4 drugs given alone or combined affect MS biomarkers. They want to see if a change in biomarker levels can predict which drugs a person with MS might …
Dietary Omega-7 Palmitoleic Acid-Rich Oil on Lipoprotein Metabolism and Satiety in Adults
Background Omega-7 fatty acids are found in the oil extracted from certain fish and nuts like macadamia. Palmitoleic acid is one of the most common omega-7 fatty acids. Many studies suggest that this oil is good for heart health. Researchers want to find out more about these potential benefits. Objective …
Acute Effects of Alcohol on PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B)
Background Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) is a protein in the brain that may play a role in several mental health disorders. Researchers want to know if drinking alcohol increases the binding of a radioactive tracer to PDE4B in the brain because of increased activity and/or amount of the protein. This knowledge may …
Cybersickness Prevention and Mitigation in Virtual Reality for Healthy Volunteers
Background People use virtual reality (VR) technology to play games, socialize, work, or receive medical care. Some people have "cybersickness" after using VR. 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 Study to Assess Adverse Events, Change in Disease Activity, and How Oral Emraclidine Moves Through the Body in Adult Participants With Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a common and severe psychiatric illness characterized by extreme disturbances of cognition and thought, affecting language, perception and sense of self. This study will assess adverse events, change in disease activity, and how oral emraclidine moves through the body in adult participants with schizophrenia Emraclidine is an investigational …
Ketamine, SGB and Combination Treatment for TBI-associated Headache or PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) with associated headache are amongst the most common injuries sustained by our deployed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in more recent conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This study aims to determine whether a procedural intervention …
PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) in Volunteers With Alzheimer Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Background About 5 million adults in the United States have age-related brain disorders. These include Alzheimer disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and other dementias. The number of people with these disorders will likely increase as the population ages and life span increases. Inflammation is thought to play a role …
SISTER: Sibling Oocyte Insemination With Frozen Sperm From Third Party Donors: Evaluation of Reproductive Techniques
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether two different methods of helping eggs and sperm join-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF)-lead to better embryo development when using frozen donor sperm in people who do not have male fertility problems. The main questions it …
Selumetinib for the Prevention of Plexiform Neurofibroma Growth in NF Type 1
Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are known to cause significant morbidity in children with NF1. The recent FDA approval for selumetinib in children 2 years and older with inoperable symptomatic PN was based on the finding that selumetinib shrinks the majority of PN in children with NF1 and results in clinically meaningful …
Study to Understand the Genetic Risk of Developing an Immune Response After Blood Transfusions Among Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research study is to look at genes and determine how they interact with each other to find changes that could explain why some people's immune systems may respond to blood transfusions. This response is called an alloimmune response. We strongly believe that when someone has an …
