This study is seeking to evaluate that platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a proven wound healing and osteogenic protein that plays a critical role in wound healing and previous research has demonstrated a non-linear response where higher dosages produced less effect. …

The primary objective is to assess the capability of the device as measured by its consistency, its accuracy, and feedback from surgical staff over the study period.

An initial step toward more accurate and complete data acquisition for clinical trials, the Pediatric Early Phase Clinical Trials Network (PEP-CTN) and Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC) will assess the feasibility of electronic transfer of laboratory data from participating…

The goal of this study is to determine the relative desirability of metformin vs. oral combined hormonal contraceptives (OCs) in treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women of later reproductive age. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) score will be used as a p…

COHORT A: To study whether a digital health tool called Actigraph can be used to collect information on gait and physical activity in healthy children aged 3-17. The study will be conducted at the Pfizer Innovation Research Laboratory (PfIRe Lab) in Cambridge MA. In the lab at th…

Cirrhosis is an end stage in liver disease leading to replacement of normal liver tissue with regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrous bands in response to chronic liver injury. It is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States and the thirteenth leading cause of dea…

Fifty patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that is progressing rapidly will be randomized to receive either the monoclonal antibody IC14 or placebo to be given intravenously over two hours twice weekly for 12 weeks. Blood and urine tests will be done to measure biomarkers …

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of the study drug gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. This study has two parts. It will involve a single dose of 14C radiolabeled LY3484356. This means that a radioactive substance C14 wi…

The investigators will seek to determine the relationship between heart rate and middle cerebral artery (MCA) cerebral blood flow (CBF), as well as better understand the hemodynamic determinants of MCA CBF velocity. In order to manipulate heart rate, the investigators will recrui…

Alzheimer disease is the most common neurodegenerative brain disease that causes cognitive impairment in the elderly but also behavioral and psychological symptoms. Among these symptoms, agitation is one of the most dangerous because it put the patient and their caregivers in dan…

The main objectives of this trial are to investigate safety and tolerability of BI 1569912 in healthy male Japanese subjects following oral administration of single rising doses and multiple doses. Secondary objective is the exploration of pharmacokinetics (PK) of BI 1569912.

In this research study, the investigators will use a novel approach to measure what people eat. The goal is to find out whether stable isotopes that can be measured in blood, hair, and fingernails are better at measuring what people eat than the surveys that are currently used. T…

T1rho imaging is a new MRI technique that has strong potential in neuroimaging. This technique does not require exogenous contrast agents and has high spatial resolution. In this study we aim to characterise the normal appearance of T1rho in the brain parenchyma in healthy parti…

To evaluate the physiologic effects of an electromagnetic resonator(EMF) on autonomic nervous system tone modulation through measurement of heart rate variability(HRV). Null Hypothesis: An EMF Resonator will not change autonomic nervous system tone and no demonstrable difference…

The purpose of this study is to more rigorously evaluate the response to a single bolus of magnesium sulfate in a population of patients with moderate to severe bronchiolitis. The primary outcome will be to evaluate the effect of this therapy on clinical respiratory status. Secon…

This study aims to clarify, in patients with more or less abundant pericardial effusion in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction, the correlation between the existence of this effusion during the acute phase with clinical parameters, biological, angiographic, therapeutic and…

There are limited data regarding the burden of hyperkalaemia in patients attending emergency departments (ED) or who are hospitalised (excluding those already receiving dialysis). Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) are of prognostic benefit in patients with h…

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by thrombosis or obstetric complication (≥ 3 spontaneous miscarriages or fetal death or prematurity \<34 weeks gestation-related amenorrhea (SA)) associated with antiphospholipid antibodies. The rate of term pregnancies has been improved…

The purpose of this research is to use 18 F Fluorodopa positron emission tomography (FDOPA PET) to measure dopamine function, and utilize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in persons with Parkinson's disease. The overall goal o…

The proposed research is a feasibility pilot trial designed to optimize the remote collection dried blood spots (DBS) from a finger stick and the analysis of fatty acid from the DBS and to optimize the analysis of mitochondria activity (or energy metabolism) from peripheral blood…
