All Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to measure the level of medicines found in body fluids such as blood, urine, spinal fluid of children. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the safety of autologous muscle fiber fragments for the treatment of urinary incontinence due to incompetent outlet (bladder neck/urethra). Read Less

The investigators are testing treatment with low-dose naltrexone (LDN) for symptom relief of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either LDN or placebo for a period of several weeks. During this period participants will be asked to attend either in-person or virtual study visits and complete questionnaires. Read Less

Collection and review of clinical information related to glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency, diagnosed as Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV (GSD IV) or Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD generated during clinic visits. Read Less

HDClarity will seek at least 2500 research participants at different stages of Huntington's disease (HD). The primary objective is to collect a high quality CSF sample for evaluation of biomarkers and pathways that will enable the development of novel treatments for HD. The secondary objective is to generate a high quality plasma sample collection matching the CSF collections, which will also be used to evaluate biomarkers and pathways of relevance to HD research and development.

To improve upon the non-invasive detection of BCa by further validating a multiplex ELISA assay directed at a BCa-associated diagnostic signature in voided urine samples of patients with microscopic hematuria. Read Less

This study is being done to see the long-term results for patients who choose to have surgery for lymphedema (with the vascularized lymph node transfer), compared to patients who choose not to have surgery. Read Less

Ruptured cerebral aneurysms lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),that has a high morbidity and mortality rate, the severity of which is predicted by the "Hunt-Hess grade" (HHG). SAH leads to iron (Fe) and hemoglobin (Hb) accumulation in the brain, which is toxic for neurons. Ferritin (iron reported in the brian) and iron overload leads to brain atrophy, specifically in the mesial temporal lobe (hippocampus, impairing patients' cognition. It is estimated that 50% of survivors have cognitive deficits. Most of the survivors of SAH could not return to work. Iron chelation therapy has been recently gaining ground as a therapeutic intervention in intraparenchymal hemorrhage and in SAH. However, there has not been any study that assess the iron deposition in the brain and the level of ferritin in the cerebrospinal fluid of SAH patients. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized trial using Deferiprone (oral chelating agent, "De") + standard of care versus standard of care in patient with SAH to: 1. assess the level of ferritin (Ft) in CSF (CSF withdrawn from ventriculostomy tube), 2. assess functional outcomes measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, a score used to assess the level of dementia, mainly in Alzheimer disease patients. 3. quantify the the total iron deposition in the brain based on MRI Read Less

The purpose of this research is to document normal intracranial venous sinus pressures. Participants who need to have a cerebral angiogram to evaluate a medical problem not related to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) will be invited to participate. Participation in this research will not require any extra visits. The intervention will take place in the interventional radiology suite when the subject has an angiogram. IIH is a condition that causes increased pressure in the brain in the absence of a tumor or other diseases that may be causing symptoms. Symptoms include headaches and visual disturbances not explained by other things. In IIH there is a narrowing in the sinuses of the brain that causes the increased pressure. Read Less

This study plans to analyze the molecular and clinical mechanisms of the relationship between the GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease. This will be assessed through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques called PET (positron emission tomography) to study the accumulation of the tau protein and the dysfunction of acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain of people with a mutation in the GBA gene, with and without Parkinson's disease. The ingestigators will also use a technology-based assessment to study the typing patterns as possible biomarkers of early motor dysfunctions. Read Less

Collection and review of clinical information related to Glycogen Storage Disease Type VI (GSD VI) OR Glycogen Storage Disease Type IX (GSD IX) generated during clinic visits. Read Less

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of mephalan in treating patients with multiple myeloma who are undergoing stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mephalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial uses a new method of dosing that is based on analysis of each individual's blood levels of melphalan after receiving a part of the dose, termed pharmacokinetic analysis. This may help to learn more about how to dose melphalan correctly and which patients are likely to benefit from a personalized dose. Read Less
