Trikafta for Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Recruiting
Study participants with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis will be given Trikafta for four weeks. The researchers will monitor clinical endpoints, quality of life, and weight. Additionally, cutaneous punch biopsy material will be collected from each participant to test cellular response to Trikafta.

DECIDE: Dyads and Families
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to design and test a decision-making program that is tailored to support adult daughters making healthcare decisions for their parents who are living with memory loss to improve the quality of life of African American families. There are two phases of this research study. The first phase will collect information by surveys and/or interviews. The surveys and interviews will ask questions about demographics (e.g., age, race/ethnicity), culture, health, family dynamics... Read More

Immunologic Responses to a Live Attenuated Oral Cholera Vaccine
Recruiting
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antibody response to the cholera vaccine, Vaxchora®, in healthy subjects. Investigators also seek to evaluate additional markers of the adaptive immune response including plasmablasts, activated B cells, memory B cells, and T cell responses in healthy subjects receiving cholera vaccine, produce monoclonal antibodies against cholera, and evaluate the safety and reactogenicity in healthy subjects receiving cholera vaccine.

Clarithromycin Mechanisms in Hypersomnia Syndromes
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a medication called clarithromycin for treating sleepiness in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. Studies have shown that clarithromycin can reduce sleepiness, but researchers do not know how clarithromycin does this. This study will look at brain activity (on magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), inflammation, bacteria living in the gut, and cerebrospinal fluid, to better understand how clarithromycin can reduce sleepiness. This study will recruit 92 par... Read More

Natural History Study of and Genetic Modifiers in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
Recruiting
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are genetic neurological diseases that cause imbalance, poor coordination, and speech difficulties. There are different kinds of SCA and this study will focus on types 1, 2,3, and 6 (SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3 , also known as Machado-Joseph disease and SCA 6). The diseases are rare, slowly progressive, cause increasingly severe neurological difficulties and are variable across and within genotypes. The purpose of this research study is to bring together a group of experts... Read More

Evaluating Effectiveness of Powered Drill Bone Marrow Biopsy
Recruiting
Since the introduction of the Jamshidi needle in 1971, new advances in bone marrow sampling have not been seen. In 2007, a new battery-powered bone marrow biopsy system was developed. This technology, using a battery-powered drill to operate the needle accessing the posterior iliac bone, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is currently commercially available. Few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the use of the battery-powered bone marrow biopsy system to... Read More

Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Cardiac Tissue in Postnatal Development
Recruiting
The study team will use small pieces of human hearts which are removed as part of a required surgical procedure to study different objectives. One of the objective is how calcium ions pass through the membrane of heart cells in order to tell the heart cell how much force to contract with when the heart beats. Investigators will also study the proteins and RNA of these pieces to determine how the newborn heart cells control their force of contraction differently from adult heart cells. Investigat...
