Open-Label Study of mRNA-3927 in Participants With Propionic Acidemia
Recruiting
This First-in-Human (FIH) Phase 1/2 study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacological activity (as assessed by biomarker measurements) and to determine the optimal dose of mRNA-3927 in participants with genetically confirmed propionic acidemia (PA). After establishing a dose with acceptable safety and pharmacodynamic (PD) response in a Dose Optimization Group (Part 1) in participants ≥1 year of age, additional participants will be enrolled into the study in a Dose E...

PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) in Alcohol Use Disorder
Recruiting
Background: People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) also often have bouts of depression called major depressive episodes (MDEs). People having MDEs have been found to have low levels of a protein called PDE4B in the brain. Researchers want to find out if people with AUD also have low levels of PDE4B. This research may help lead to better treatments for AUD. Objective: To find out (1) if PDE4B levels are lower in people who are withdrawing from AUD and (2) if their PDE4B levels go up after they...

A Study to Assess Safety and Effectiveness of Injections of NOA VOLUME Injectable Gel in Adult Participants Compared to JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC for Change of Mid-Face Volume
Recruiting
Facial fullness is often regarded as a characteristic feature of a youthful face. Chronic reduction of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans contribute to the facial volume loss that characterizes the aging face. Volume restoration by replacing or augmenting soft tissue is critical to successful facial rejuvenation. NOA VOLUME is a crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid (HA) gel implant formulated with lidocaine that was developed to provide a safe, minimally invasive method of improving mid-face volum... Read More

Nightmare Deconstruction and Reprocessing vs. NightWare Wristband
Recruiting
The overall goal of this Phase IIa randomized controlled pilot trial is to assess the potential efficacy of two emerging treatments for post-trauma nightmares and to test the feasibility of study design and methods. Symptom change will be assessed in two treatment arms: (1) Nightmare Deconstruction and Reprocessing (NDR), an exposure-based psychotherapy; and (2) NightWare (NW), a non-exposure approach using a wristband device. The investigators will also assess the feasibility of circadian-depen... Read More

Study of Plozasiran in Adults With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia
Recruiting
This Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of plozasiran injection (ARO-APOC3) in adult participants with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). After providing informed consent eligible participants will be randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of plozasiran or placebo, and be evaluated for efficacy and safety. After Month 12, eligible participants will be offered an opportunity to continue in an optional open-label extension under a separate protocol.

Parasitic Ulcer Treatment Trial
Recruiting
The Parasitic Ulcer Treatment Trial (PUTT) is a multi-center, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to determine whether including topical corticosteroids in a regimen for acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) will improve vision. Patients presenting to all enrollment centers with evidence of acanthamoeba keratitis will be eligible for the trial if there is evidence of ocular inflammation after 4 weeks of anti-amoebic therapy. Those who agree to participate will be random... Read More

Cardamom and Topical Roseomonas in Atopic Dermatitis
Recruiting
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, is a chronic skin condition. AD can make skin dry and itchy, and sometimes it can lead to serious health problems, such as asthma, food allergies, eye infections, and sleep problems. No cure exists for AD. Researchers know that people with AD have different kinds of harmless bacteria on their skin than do people without AD. They want to see if adding a harmless bacteria (Roseomonas mucosa) to the skin can help people with AD. Objective:... Read More

Natural History Protocol for Movement Disorders
Recruiting
Background: A movement disorder is a condition that causes a person s body to move in ways that are not normal. There are different types. Some disorders cause movements people can t control, such as tics or shaking. Some cause reduced or slow movements. Movement disorders can cause disability in people. Sometimes members of the same family will have the same disorder. Researchers want to learn more about how people develop these disorders. This research could lead to better treatments. Object...

A Natural History Study of Metabolic Sizing in Health and Disease
Recruiting
Background: Scientists have long used simple measures (such as height and weight) to estimate how much a person s body uses food (calories) as energy, as commonly called the metabolic rate. But metabolism varies among people with similar body sizes. Scientists now believe the old formulas for estimating metabolic rates may not work well for all people. Researchers want to find more accurate ways to measure a person s metabolism. Objective: This natural history study will examine the relations... Read More
