Perivenous Dexamethasone Therapy: Examining Reduction of Inflammation After Thrombus Removal to Yield Benefit in Acute Femoropopliteal DVT
This is a study of a medical procedure that utilizes a commercially available catheter (the Bullfrog® Micro-Infusion Device) to locally deliver a commercially available anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection) around the deep veins after DVT recanalization, where DVT symptoms were present for up to 14 days prior to recanalization. …
Natural History and Advanced Genetic Study of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiencies
Children and adults with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) are participating in a research study seeking to better understand the genetic causes, symptoms, usefulness of current treatments, and outcomes for these disorders. The research project involves completing a questionnaire about the individual or family's medical history and experiences with PDCD, …
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis (HBOT-UC)
Chronic intestinal hypoxia and accompanying mucosal inflammation is a hallmark of ulcerative colitis (UC). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure to increase tissue oxygenation. Two small prospective randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that the delivery of HBOT to UC patients hospitalized for acute moderate …

Study to Test OBI-3424 in Patients With T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) or T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-LBL)
This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of OBI-3424 and how well it works in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as OBI-3424, work in …
Examining Neurobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Therapeutic Effect of the Ketogenic Diet in Bipolar Disorder (BD)
The investigators aim to examine the effect of the ketogenic diet on brain activity, metabolism, and emotions in adults with Bipolar Disorder (BD).
Triheptanoin for Children With Primary-Specific Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC) Deficiency
This is a medical research study to test a medication in patients with a disease called Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC) Deficiency. The medication is triheptanoin, which is currently FDA approved for the treatment of Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders. Previous research suggests that triheptanoin may also be effective in the …
