Administering Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes Transduced With a Murine T-Cell Receptor Recognizing the G12D Variant of Mutated RAS in HLA-A*11:01 Patients
NCT03745326
Recruiting
Background: A new cancer therapy takes white blood cells from a person, grows them in a lab, genetically changes them, then gives them back to the person. Researchers think this may help attack tumors in people with certain cancers. It is called gene transfer using anti-KRAS G12D mTCR cells. Objective: To see if anti-KRAS G12D mTCR cells are safe and cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-72 who have cancer with a molecule on the tumors that can be recognized by the study cells... Read More

The Mechanistic Biology of Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders
NCT03394053
Recruiting
Background: Primary immunodeficiency disorders, or PIDs, are diseases that weaken the immune system. This makes it easier for a person to get sick. Some PIDs are mild and may not be diagnosed until later in life. Other kinds are severe and can be identified shortly after birth. Researchers want to learn more about PIDs by comparing data from relatives and healthy volunteers to people with a PID. Objective: To learn more about PIDs, including their genetic causes. Eligibility: People ages 0... Read More

Samples From Human Subjects to Facilitate Basic, Translational and Clinical Research
NCT03253705
Recruiting
Background: This study is designed to provide samples to help us study the genes your blood cells are making as well as the proteins, sugars, fats, vitamins and other metabolites found in your blood or urine. Blood samples may also be collected to make special cells. These are called induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. Pluripotent stem cells are cells that can be converted into any type of cell. Researchers want to study in the lab iPSCs that are derived from blood samples. Objective: To... Read More

Women's Heart Attack Research Program: Stress Ancillary Study
NCT02914483
Recruiting
The Women's HARP study is a multi-center study focusing on women with clinical presentation of myocardial infarction (MI). Women will complete stress questionnaires following presentation to the medical center with elevated cardiac enzymes and abnormal electrocardiograms (ECGs). 2 months following MI, participants will be screened for the Stress Ancillary Study and enrolled if an elevated level of perceived stress is reported. After completing baseline assessments, participants will be randomize... Read More

Pathological Basis of MRI Signal Changes in Multiple Sclerosis
NCT02659956
Recruiting
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that damages the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This leads to increased physical disability over time. The disease is lifelong once it begins. Researchers want to learn more about MS s stages and follow them until a person s death. Objective: To understand how the physical and clinical signs of MS relate to its changes over time. Eligibility: Adults age 18 or older with MS or a disease of the brain and spinal cord that may ac... Read More

Leveraging Electronic Health Record Tools to Improve the Evidence-Based Treatment of Children Hospitalized With Bronchiolitis
NCT06932341
Recruiting
The goal of this experimental study is to learn whether different types of best practice advisories (BPAs) that direct clinicians to reference clinical guidelines embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) increase the delivery of evidence-based care in children presenting to the hospital with bronchiolitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do BPAs improve clinicians' delivery of guideline-concordant care in bronchiolitis? * Do interruptive BPAs improve guideline-concordant care... Read More

A Natural History Study of RYR1-Related Disorders
NCT06287762
Recruiting
Background: Congenital myopathies (CM) are genetic disorders that can cause decreased muscle tone and muscle weakness. Most CMs in the United States are related to the ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) gene. Researchers need more natural history data to learn about these CMs in children and adults. Objective: To learn more about the signs, symptoms, and course of RYR1-related disorders. Eligibility: People aged 7 years and older with an RYR1-related disorder.
