Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen Test
Recruiting
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in the Unites States. Nearly 1 million prostate biopsy procedures are performed in the United States annually and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the primary reason for prostate biopsy in \> 90% of cases. However, at the PSA levels which trigger prostate biopsy, often no cancer is found in prostate biopsy specimens. PSA test can be elevated due to reasons other than cancer such as inflammation or natural variation i... Read More

TSC Biosample Repository and Natural History Database
Recruiting
The TSC Biosample Repository collects and stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues that scientists can request to use in their research. The samples we collect are all linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. The TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person's health over his or her lifetime. This data may be collected retrospectively or prospectively.

Preventing the Development of Chronic Pain: Treating PTSD at Acute Pain Onset
Recruiting
Although most people recover from acute pain (such as pain caused by injury, surgery, repetitive motion, or unknown causes), many people do not fully recover and will experience chronic pain. Untreated posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appears to be a key risk factor for the transition from acute pain to chronic pain. However, few published studies have addressed the issue of preventing the transition from acute to chronic pain via PTSD reduction. This project will aim to test whether trauma-... Read More

Hybrid Pump Technology
Recruiting
Prostheses can be suspended from the amputated limb using a variety of techniques, such as straps and suction. Suspending the prosthesis by creating a vacuum between the prosthetic socket and limb using a pump has benefits over other techniques including improved limb health and mobility. A new pump design will be tested by prosthesis users in the laboratory to verify its functionality during walking.

The PREDICTOR Study: Assessing Diagnostic Predictors of Airway Collapse in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Recruiting
This study is an exploratory, multicenter study of up to 300 subjects diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated for airway surgery. Subjects will undergo standard evaluation for airway surgery as part of standard of care. In addition to the standard airway assessment, a simple, non-invasive measurement of the width of the inside of each subjects mouth will be performed. This measurement takes 2-3 minutes to perform.

Pivotal 2 Study of RGX-314 Gene Therapy in Participants With nAMD
Recruiting
ABBV-RGX-314 (also known as RGX-314) is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. Wet AMD is a significant cause of vision loss in the United States, Europe and Japan, with up to 2 million people living with wet AMD in these geographies alone. Current anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies ha... Read More
