Parametric Response Mapping (PRM) for the Detection of Chronic Lung Injury in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients
NCT05866302
Recruiting
The study will have two separate patient cohorts: Cohort 1 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), whereas cohort 2 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic lung disease (CLD). For cohort 1, the primary objective will be to characterize PRM metrics at the onset of chronic GVHD and determine if a PRM signature is present that will predict 1-year CLD free survival. For cohort 2, the primary objective will focus on characterizing PRM at the ons... Read More

Registry and Natural History Study for Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 1 (EPM1)
NCT06593951
Recruiting
The Registry and Natural History Study for Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 1 (EPM1) is focused on gathering longitudinal clinical data as well as biological samples (blood and/or urine) from male and female patients, of all ages, who have a molecular diagnosis of EPM1or CSTB-null-related disease. Currently, there are no therapies that halt disease progression in any CSTB-related diseases, highlighting the urgency for translational research into this condition. The primary objective of the re... Read More

A Retrospective Survey-based Multicenter Study to Delineate the Molecular and Phenotypic Spectrum of Epilepsy-dyskinesia Syndromes
NCT06585605
Recruiting
The Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical and molecular spectrum of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, monogenic diseases that cause both movement disorders and epilepsy. Addressing challenges in rare disease research -such as small, geographically dispersed patient populations and a lack of standardized protocols- the study employs a multinational retrospective survey endorsed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. This survey seeks to co... Read More

A Multicenter Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
NCT06585618
Recruiting
There is limited data on outcomes for children who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and individual centers performing this surgery often lack sufficient cases to power research studies adequately. This study aims to develop a multicenter pediatric DBS registry that allows multiple sites to share clinical pediatric DBS data. The primary goals are to enable large-scale, well-powered analyses of the safety and efficacy of DBS in the pediatric population and to fur... Read More

Mono vs. Dual Therapy for Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
NCT04039464
Recruiting
The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

Low-Dose Radiotherapy in Treating Painful Bone Metastases in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
NCT03858205
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well low-dose radiotherapy works in treating bone pain in patients with multiple myeloma that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Low-dose radiotherapy may be more convenient for patients and their families, may not interfere as much with the timing of chemotherapy, and may have less chance for short term or long-term side effects from the radiatio...
