Multiple Doses of Neural Stem Cell Virotherapy (NSC-CRAd-S-pk7) for the Treatment of Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
Recruiting
This phase I trial studies the effect of multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 in treating patients with high-grade gliomas that have come back (recurrent). NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 consists of neural stem cells that carry a virus, which can kill cancer cells. Giving multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 may kill more tumor cells.

Clarifying the Optimal Application of SLT Therapy Trial
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to understand if SLT performed at low energy is as effective as SLT performed at standard energy, and also to see if repeating SLT at low energy once a year will prevent or delay the need for daily eye drop medications better than waiting for SLT to wear off before repeating it.

TTX-080 HLA-G Antagonist in Subjects With Advanced Cancers
Recruiting
TTX-080-001 is a Phase 1, open label, dose escalation and dose expansion clinical study to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended Phase 2 dose of TTX-080 monotherapy (HLA-G inhibitor) and in combination with either pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitor), cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor) or FOLFIRI plus cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor) in patients with advanced refractory / resistant solid malignancies including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.

Characterization of Inclusion Body Myopathy Associated With Paget's Disease of Bone and Frontotemporal Dementia (IBMPFD)
Recruiting
The investigators are researching families with inherited inclusion body myopathy (IBM) and/or Paget disease of bone (PDB) and/or dementia (FTD) which is also called IBMPFD. IBMPFD is caused by mutations in the VCP gene. Our main goal is to understand how changes in the VCP gene cause the muscle, bone and cognitive problems associated with the disease. The investigators are collecting biological specimen such as blood and urine samples, family and medical histories, questionnaire data of patien... Read More

Characterization of Familial Myopathy and Paget Disease of Bone
Recruiting
The researcher wants to explore the genetic causes of muscle disease. The researcher is particularly interested in muscle disorders that occur in combination with diseases of bone that appear to be passed on from generation to generation. Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy will measure the concentrations of blood, water, and lipids (fats, for example) in your tissues. This device essentially measures the color of tissues in order to determine tissue physiology (its physical and chemical processes).

Acetazolamide in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes - Crossover Trial
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of the study drug acetazolamide in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Specifically, whether acetazolamide provides benefits to the kidneys while minimizing any side effects of the drug. These changes will be measured by laboratory tests that tell us how well the kidneys are functioning.

A Study of Sotatercept (MK-7962) in Healthy Females Administered as a Liquid Formulation in an Autoinjector Versus the Lyophilized Formulation (MK-7962-027)
Recruiting
The goal of the study is to learn what happens to different forms of sotatercept medications in a healthy person's body over time. Researchers want to know if there is a difference in the healthy person's body when different forms of sotatercept medications are given.

Continuous Versus Single Injection Adductor Canal Blocks for Outpatient Total Knee Arthroplasty
Recruiting
This is a single-center pilot study to determine if an adductor canal continuous nerve block is superior to single injection nerve block following total knee arthroplasty. Investigators will randomize participants to either continuous nerve block or single injection nerve block for the adductor canal preoperatively. They will assess differences in pain (measured in numeric rating scale), opioid consumption, and physical therapy milestones from postoperative day 0 to 7.

NeuroFLiPP: Parametric PET of Neuroinflammation in Fatty Liver Disease
Recruiting
Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect about 6 million people in the U.S. and are the fifth leading cause of death for adults over 65. Recent research is investigating how chronic liver diseases like Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), which affects one-third of the U.S. population, might influence ADRD through the liver-brain axis. MASLD shares risk factors with Alzheimer's, such as diabetes and hypertension, and studies have linked MASLD to increa... Read More
