Randomized Stepped Wedge Study of Emapalumab in APECED Enteritis
Background Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), also known as Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1), is a disease that causes the immune system to attack parts of a person s body. In some people, APECED attacks the small intestine; this causes an illness called enteritis. Objective To test a drug (emapalumab) in …
Characterization of Acute Pain
This study aims to better understand how acute pain and responses to pain treatment can be measured in children and adolescents using a non-invasive device. Pain is usually assessed using self-reported or observational scales, which can be difficult to interpret, especially in pediatric patients. This study will evaluate whether a …
Beeline: A Phase 3 Study in GRIN-related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
The Phase 3 portion of Study RAD-GRIN-101 is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial followed by an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiprodil in participants with GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorder (GRIN-NDD) with a gain-of-function (GoF) genetic variant. This study will enroll two cohorts: one cohort of …

The main …
Studies of Blood Flow to the Brain During Thought
The purpose of this study is to use brain imaging technology to measure changes in blood flow to areas in the brain as individuals perform intellectual tasks. This study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine blood flow to areas of the brain as participants engage in tasks …
Controls and Healthy Vasculature Initiative
Background Diseases involving blood, blood vessels, and immune systems are leading causes of death in the United States. Researchers studying these diseases need to compare blood samples from both healthy and sick individuals. Blood samples from healthy people are also used to establish what is normal when developing new tests …
