MicroRNA Biomarkers for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome
NCT05937594
Recruiting
Infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) experience prolonged hospital stays and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, in-part because of the lack of accurate, individualized, biologic assessments available to manage this increasingly common medical condition. The proposed study will define the molecular mechanisms that regulate the response to opioid withdrawal in the developing brain by focusing on three candidate microRNAs (let-7a, miR-146a, miR-192) that have been shown to respond to opio...

Exenatide Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Gestational Diabetes
NCT05482789
Recruiting
This study is being done to study how exenatide, an FDA-approved drug that lowers blood sugar in non-pregnant patients with type II diabetes, works in pregnant women. To do this, the investigators will study the drug's pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug; specifically, how quickly your body breaks down and excretes exenatide) and pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body; specifically, how effectively exenatide helps the participants' pancreas secrete insulin and how well it...

Evaluation of Outcome Metrics in Alexander Disease
NCT02714764
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of Alexander Disease, a leukodystrophy that causes neurological dysfunction. Investigators will obtain clinical outcome assessments to measure how the disease affects a patient's gross motor, fine motor, speech and language function, swallowing, and quality of life. Specimens are collected to measure glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. The data obtained from this study will be used for th... Read More

Study of SFA002 in Patients with Mild to Moderate Psoriasis Plaques
NCT05642182
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, metabolism and potential effect of drug product SFA-002 on mild moderate and severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disorder that affects over 4 million people. There is no cure for psoriasis and treatment is directed at controlling patients' symptoms.

Pancreatic Quantitative Sensory Testing (P-QST) to Predict Treatment Response for Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis
NCT04996628
Recruiting
Abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) affects up to 90% of patients during the course of their disease, and response to currently available therapies is suboptimal and unpredictable. The proposed clinical trial will evaluate the predictive capability of Pancreatic Quantitative Sensory Testing (P-QST) - a novel assessment of neurosensory phenotyping- for improvement in pain in patients with CP who are undergoing medically-indicated invasive treatment with endoscopic therapy or surgery.

QST Study: Predicting Treatment Response in Chronic Pancreatitis Using Quantitative Sensory Testing
NCT03434392
Recruiting
Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is a novel investigative technique used in other pain conditions to evaluate patterns of chronic pain, and in this study will be used to elucidate pain patterns in patients with Chronic Pancreatitis (CP). QST uses a specific series of standardized stimulations to map the pain system. QST has the potential to change and improve the treatment paradigm for patients with CP and may eventually be able to predict response to invasive CP therapies.
