Targeting Inflammation With Losartan to Improve Response to Modulator Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis.
NCT06364176
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test use of losartan in those with cystic fibrosis (CF) on modulator therapy. The main question it aims to answer is if treatment with losartan improves response of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel to modulator therapy. Participants will be asked take losartan or placebo for twelve weeks and will have changes in sweat chloride levels measured as a marker of CFTR function.

A Post-market Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polyetheretherketone Metatarso-Phalangeal (MTP) Plate (CoLink® PCR MTP Plate) for the Treatment of Hallux Rigidus
NCT05692687
Recruiting
The clinical study involves the routine treatment of skeletally mature patients who have been diagnosed with hallux rigidus (stiffness of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint in the foot due to arthritis and degeneration of cartilage). It follows standard practice surgery to treat this condition. This type of degenerative arthritis affects the joint of the big toe (hallux) which is attached to the foot. Taking part in this research will involve collecting data of the surgery to remove damaged c... Read More

Fitness After Stroke Trial
NCT05936008
Recruiting
People living with stroke have very low aerobic fitness, which can negatively impact brain health. Identifying the best exercise which includes exercise stimulus type (interval, continuous) or intensity, how hard to exercise (moderate, high) that benefit aerobic fitness, vascular health, and the brain's main blood vessels after stroke are unknown. This study is designed to determine the preliminary efficacy of high-volume HIIT to moderate intensity exercise using a seated stepper exercise device... Read More

Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in FSHD (MOVE FSHD)
NCT04635891
Recruiting
The primary goal of this proposal is to collect motor and functional outcomes specific to FSHD over time. By collecting measures specific to FSHD, this will help ensure the best level of clinical care is being provided. Also, the hope is to speed up drug development by gaining a better understanding of how having FSHD impacts motor function and other health outcomes (i.e. breathing, wheelchair use, etc.) and how big a change in motor function would be clinically meaningful to those with FSHD.

Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network
NCT01209000
Recruiting
Minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and Membranous nephropathy (MN), generate an enormous individual and societal financial burden, accounting for approximately 12% of prevalent end stage renal disease (ESRD) cases (2005) at an annual cost in the US of more than $3 billion. However, the clinical classification of these diseases is widely believed to be inadequate by the scientific community. Given the poor understanding of MCD/FSGS and MN biology, it is not s...

Clinical Trial Readiness to Solve Barriers to Drug Development in FSHD
NCT03458832
Recruiting
The primary cause of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a common adult-onset dystrophy, was recently discovered identifying targets for therapy. As multiple drug companies pursue treatments for FSHD, there is an urgent need to define the clinical trial strategies which will hasten drug development, including creating disease-relevant outcome measures and optimizing inclusion criteria. This proposal will develop two new outcome measures (FSHD-COM and EIM) and optimize eligibility crit... Read More

The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Pain In Gender Minority Adults
NCT06939257
Recruiting
TRANSPIRE is an observational study of \~200 individuals who (1) will be initiating gender-affirming hormone therapy (GHT) or (2) are gender minority individuals who do not use GHT. The primary outcome will be to identify how the presence of chronic pain changes overtime with GHT through the use of surveys, quantitative sensory testing (QST), brain MRIs, and qualitative interviews. Following recruitment and consent, participants will complete baseline survey measures and will repeat those measu... Read More
