Feasibility of Immersive Virtual Reality Dietician Program in Metabolic-dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
Recruiting
Metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, often referred to as "fatty liver disease", is a leading cause of liver failure. Dietary weight loss is a cornerstone of treating fatty liver disease, but access to traditional in-person nutritional education is often limited by cost, availability, and transportation. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) has the potential to not only overcome these barriers, but also provide an interactive learning experience, such as measuring and preparing f... Read More

Limited-duration Teclistamab
Recruiting
This is a single-arm, non-inferiority study in which patients who have achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or better, according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria, following 6 to 9 months of treatment with teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed T-cell engager (anti-BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody), will be offered monitored drug discontinuation. Teclistamab is typically dosed on a regular schedule (every 1-4 weeks) indefinitely until disease p... Read More

Speech Signals in Stuttering
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to understand how speech and language are processed in the brain. This study will provide information that may help with the understanding how speech and language are processed in children and whether there may be differences between children who stutter and children who do not stutter. This project will evaluate these neural processes for speech signals in children who stutter and control subjects through a battery of behavioral speech and language tests, e... Read More

How Hormones and Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP) Affect the Brain of People With OCD
Recruiting
Studies show that hormones affect the brain's fear extinction network, which is relevant for therapy involving exposure and response prevention (EX/RP), a first-line treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This study will examine the effect of delivering EX/RP to women during different phases in their menstrual cycle to determine the effects of hormones on the fear extinction network and on their OCD symptoms.

Natural History Study of Infantile and Juvenile GM1 Gangliosidosis (GM1) Patients
Recruiting
Owing to the rarity, severity, speed of progression and fatal prognosis of infantile and juvenile GM1, there is a limited understanding of overall disease progression and meaningful outcome measures. This study aims to build a natural history data set through collection of a number of clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessments that may be specific predictors of GM1 disease progression and clinical outcome. Having a GM1 natural history data set can inform potential efficacy endpoints and bioma... Read More
