Adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

This study looked at the long-term safety of a drug called ARO-APOC3 in adults with dyslipidemia (abnormal fat levels in the blood). Participants who completed a previous 12-month study could continue receiving the drug every 3 or 6 months. The goal was to see if the drug remains…

This study tested a low dose (10 mg) of the statin drug rosuvastatin in 242 Korean adults with high cholesterol or heart disease risk. The goal was to see how much it lowered 'bad' LDL cholesterol after 8 weeks. Results help guide cholesterol treatment in this population.

This study tested whether a drug called alirocumab, which lowers cholesterol, can reduce heart disease risk in people with HIV. The trial involved 118 adults aged 40 and older with well-controlled HIV and high heart disease risk. Participants received either alirocumab or a place…

This early-stage study tested a new medicine called ARO-ANG3 in 93 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The main goal was to check if the drug is safe and how the body processes it. This research helps determine if the dru…

This study tested two different chemotherapy drugs (Treosulfan and Busulfan) given before a stem cell transplant in 106 children with serious non-cancer diseases like immune disorders, metabolic diseases, blood disorders, and bone marrow failure. The goal was to see which drug le…

This study tested a new method called global metabolomic profiling to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism, a group of rare genetic disorders. Researchers compared this approach to traditional testing in 240 participants. The goal was to see if the new method could more accuratel…

Researchers tested an artificial intelligence program that analyzes retinal images to diagnose several nerve and brain conditions, such as optic neuropathy and brain tumors. The study used data from 693 patients with confirmed diagnoses. The goal is to create a fast triage tool f…

This study created a registry of medical records from women with inborn errors of metabolism—rare conditions that affect how the body turns food into energy. Researchers collected data from past or current pregnancies and followed babies for one year after birth. The goal was to …

This study aimed to find new gene changes that cause rare lipid disorders. Researchers used advanced genetic testing to look at many genes at once in 140 people and their relatives. The goal was to discover causes that older methods missed.

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This study looked at how fat-carrying particles called lipoproteins work in healthy people and those with high cholesterol or other lipid disorders. Researchers injected tiny, safe amounts of radioactive lipoproteins to track them in the body. The goal was to better understand ho…

This study looked at 99 people with high heart risk to understand how a protein called CETP affects plaque buildup in arteries. Researchers measured CETP activity, artery thickness, and calcium scores. The goal was to learn more about heart disease, not to test a new treatment.

This study tested whether home automation and remote monitoring can help elderly people (65+) with multiple chronic conditions live safely at home. Over 500 participants had their homes equipped with sensors that tracked health signs and sent alerts to doctors. The main goal was …

This study aimed to translate and validate an Italian version of a tool that helps speech therapists assess swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) in people with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or ALS. Researchers tested the tool on 101 adults with such conditions to ens…

This completed study looked at how different types of brain damage—from strokes, tumors, infections, or degenerative diseases—affect thinking and memory. Researchers used brain scans (MRI) and cognitive tests in 346 patients and healthy volunteers to map which brain areas are res…

This study looked at how many girls and young women aged 11 to 20 with chronic diseases (like diabetes or immune conditions) got the HPV vaccine, compared to those without chronic illness. Researchers reviewed records of 223 participants from a hospital in France. The goal was to…
