Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Priming Regimen of 426c.Mod.Core-C4b Followed by HxB2.WT.Core-C4b Boosts, Both Adjuvanted With 3M-052 AF + Alum, in Adult Participants Without HIV and in Overall Good Health
Recruiting
This is a partially randomized, open-label phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a priming regimen of 426c.Mod.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum followed by boosts with HxB2.WT.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum. The primary hypothesis is that the boosting with HxB2.WT.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum will further mature broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb)-precursor B-cell lineages elicited by 426c.Mod.Core-C4b adjuvanted with 3M-052 AF + Alum. 426...

Analysis of Lumbar Spine Stenosis Specimens for Identification of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Recruiting
Primary objective: To identify older adults with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) early in the course of the illness, at a time when disease modifying therapies are most effective. The specific aims of this epidemiologic investigation include: 1. To identify subjects with previous lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) Surgery who have evidence of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid deposits in spinal specimens and could be at risk for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. 2. To evaluate for ATTR-CA among those... Read More

Individual Closed-Loop Neuromodulation Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting
The project is a placebo-controlled study that aims to use closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to study patients with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment which is likely due to Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia (AD-MCI). Patients will undergo an EEG and complete some questionnaires and computer tasks during each study visit. The project has the following aims and hypotheses: 1.) To determine the impact of closed-loop 40 Hz tACS on the entrainment of na... Read More

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Potentiation of Fear Extinction in OCD
Recruiting
The investigators want to learn more about how human beings learn not to fear and the impact of changing the fear network in the brain using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The investigators hope this study will help us understand how future treatments can help patients with OCD better control unwanted fear.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases
Recruiting
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while trying to decrease the amount of radiation that is delivered to the area of the hippocampus. The hipp... Read More
