PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) in Alcohol Use Disorder
NCT06795581
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...

Natural History of Uncommon Dyslipidemias, Rare Lipid Disorders and Unusual Atherosclerotic Conditions
NCT06676046
Recruiting
Background: The right amount of fats in the blood (cholesterol and triglycerides) are a key part of a healthy organism. Too much or too little of these fats may manifest as diseases (dyslipidemia). There are many causes for these abnormalities, but some are genetically determined and we would like to better understand the progression of these conditions over time. Objective: This natural history study aims to learn more about dyslipidemias; how they change over time; and how they respond to t... Read More

A Study to Evaluate IPN10200 Safety and Efficacy in the Prevention of Episodic or Chronic Migraine in Adults
NCT06625060
Recruiting
A migraine is a headache with severe throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation, usually on one side of the head. It is often accompanied by feeling or being sick and a sensitivity to bright lights and sound. Migraines are caused by a series of events when the brain gets stimulated or activated, which causes the release of chemicals that cause pain. IPN10200 is a medication that stops the release of these chemical messengers. Participants with episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM) will b... Read More

Dupilumab as Add-On Therapy for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome With Partial Clinical Response to Eosinophil-Depleting Biologic Agents
NCT06477653
Recruiting
Background: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a blood disorder that causes high levels of white blood cells called eosinophils. HES can damage the lungs and airways, intestines, skin, and other organs. The current primary treatment for HES can cause serious side effects. Secondary treatments do not work in all people. Objective: To test an approved drug (dupilumab), combined with other drugs, in people with HES. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older who take drugs (mepolizumab, resl... Read More

Diet Order Effects of Low Fat vs. Low Carb Diets on Body Fat Change
NCT06325722
Recruiting
Background: In a previous study, participants were lived at the NIH and randomly received either a low-fat or a low-carbohydrate diet for 2 weeks and then switched to the other diet for 2 more weeks. Participants who received the low-carbohydrate diet first lost more body fat at the end of the study than those who received the low-fat diet first. Researchers want to see if they can repeat that result in a longer weight loss study when participants live at home. Objective: To test the effects... Read More
