Study of Triheptanoin for the Prevention of Hypoglycemia in Patients with Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD)
NCT06067802
Recruiting
This is a medical research study to test a medication in adult patients with a disease called medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). The medication is triheptanoin, which is currently FDA approved for the treatment of Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders. Previous research suggests that triheptanoin may also be effective in the treatment MCADD. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy (how well it works) of triheptanoin in patients with MCADD.

Expiratory Muscle Strength Training for Hypernasal Speech in Children
NCT05492266
Recruiting
When the soft palate does not move enough because of a cleft palate or for unknown reasons, this can lead to a speech difference called velopharyngeal insufficiency. The purpose of this research study is to test if soft palate exercises using a hand help breathing device will help improve the ability of the soft palate to close the area between the throat and nose and help improve speech.

Evaluation of Myoelectric Implantable Recording Array (MIRA) in Participants with Transradial Amputation
NCT05768802
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to see how well a new type of myoelectric prosthesis works. A myoelectric prosthesis is a robotic limb for amputees that is controlled by sensing the activity of muscles in the body above the amputation level. This study involves a medical procedure to implant the Myoelectric Implantable Recording Array (MIRA) in the residual limb. The procedure will be performed under sedation by a physician.
