This is a 2-cohort (observational and treatment cohort) extension study for participants completing feeder studies (IMVT-1401-3201 or IMVT-1401-3202). The observational cohort will assess the durability of proptosis response of feeder studies off treatment. The treatment cohort w…

This cross-over study will assess a no added sugar diet, a restricted daily eating window, and one or two full day water fasts to determine if there is an effect on self-reported symptoms of Long Covid (PASC).

To test the hypothesis that home-based leg heat therapy improves functional capacity, vascular function, and exercise hyperemia in older adults.

VAM00001 is a Phase I/II, randomized, modified double-blind, multi-center study. The purpose of this study is to compare 2 dose levels of Panblok H7 (dose 1 and dose 2 of rHA) with a standard squalene dose of adjuvant MF59 to Panblok H7 (dose 3) unadjuvanted in approximately 700…

This phase II trial studies how well contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) works for diagnosing patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) that has come back (recurrent) after an ablation. Diagnostic imaging, such as CEUS, may help find and monitor long term renal cell cancer recurrence…

The purpose of this research is to evaluate and determine the rate of successful administration of Percussive ventilation breathhold (PVB) to allow for more accurate radiotherapy for lung tumors.

52-week, open-label extension study of double-blind study ACP-103-069 to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of pimavanserin for the treatment of irritability associated with ASD in children and adolescents (aged 5 to 17 years). ACP-103-069 is a 6-week, randomized, d…

The goal of this research is to increase physical activity among individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) through a customized, interactive smartphone-based health app and e-coaching using three phases: (1) leading focus groups of potential app users and clinicians to gain inf…

In light of the opioid epidemic and evidence suggesting that cannabis may be opioid-sparing, we are in a unique position to conduct a novel, high-impact study that would set the stage for future RCTs examining the effects of a nonintoxicating and nonaddictive cannabinoid in an or…

Most of the common mental disorders are heritable to a certain extent but environmental factors have an important role influencing whether the disorder will develop or not. These factors can be negative (e.g. loss of job or death of a loved one) that increase the risk of disorder…

The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of cognitive impairment in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), and further plans to explore the impact of different treatment options on cognitive function in symptomatic ICAS patients.

The proposed focuses on improving both morbidity and mortality in older Veterans and those recovering from COVID-19 by developing rehabilitation therapies to augment vascular endothelial function by combating the oxidative stress and inflammation associated with aging and further…
