Amyloidosis, hereditary systemic 3

This study tests a new type of stem cell transplant for children with primary immune deficiencies or inherited metabolic disorders. The transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, which are specially processed to remove certain immune cells. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a bone marrow transplant from a family donor for children under 21 with severe non-cancer blood disorders like sickle cell disease, bone marrow failure, or immune problems. The goal is to see if the transplant can replace the diseased cells with healthy donor cel…

This program offers extra stem cells from a half-matched family donor to patients who are getting a cord blood transplant for serious blood cancers or immune disorders. The goal is to help the bone marrow recover more quickly while the cord blood cells take over permanently. It i…

This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the lower legs, that vibrates to give sensory feedback about foot pressure. The goal is to see if using it daily for six months improves balance and walking in 200 adults aged 55+ with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will do…

This study aims to better understand and treat people with certain inherited metabolic or genetic disorders. Researchers will use standard medical tests like blood work and imaging to diagnose and care for participants, who may also join other related studies. The goal is to expa…

This study aims to learn more about rare inherited disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves. Researchers will collect medical history, perform exams, and run genetic tests on up to 3,500 participants. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to better un…

This study looks at children with suspected or confirmed genetic and metabolic disorders to find new disease-causing gene mutations. Researchers will analyze blood samples for DNA and metabolites, and in some cases take a small skin sample. The goal is to better understand these …

This study at Necker Hospital in Paris is checking how well patients with inherited metabolic diseases follow their daily oral medication routines. About 200 patients (children aged 7 and up, teens, and adults) will fill out a questionnaire during a regular visit. The goal is to …

This pilot trial is testing whether amyloidosis patients can use the MyFitnessPal smartphone app to track their daily food and supplement intake for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this low-cost method is feasible for studying malnutrition and weight loss in this condition. Forty …

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study is creating a large collection of blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue samples from 10,000 people with and without heart or metabolic conditions. The goal is to store these samples along with medical information to speed up future research into what causes these disea…

This study tests a new communication tool called 'Let's Get REAL' that helps children and teens (ages 8-17) and their families talk together about stem cell transplant or cellular therapy decisions. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for families. About 60 …

This study aims to see if a quick bedside sensory test can predict which painkiller—pregabalin, duloxetine, or a placebo—works best for people with nerve pain in their feet. About 190 adults with diabetic, chemotherapy-related, or idiopathic nerve pain will try each treatment for…

This study is creating a biobank and data registry for people with amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal proteins build up in organs. Researchers will collect blood, urine, tissue samples, and medical information from 505 participants over time. The goal is to store these ma…

This study is collecting information from 4,000 adults with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) to better understand the condition. Researchers will combine standard tests with nerve ultrasound to see if it helps diagnose and track the disease. No new treatments are being tested…

This study uses MRI scans to look for brain differences in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will track changes over time and link them to body fat and other health measures. About 126 adults will take part at Ulm University Hospital. No d…

This study is collecting nerve samples and biofluids from 400 people with ALS or peripheral neuropathies to find biological markers for early diagnosis and disease tracking. By analyzing individual cells, researchers hope to identify molecular changes that happen before symptoms …

This study is creating a large collection of blood, urine, and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people with amyloid diseases (like multiple myeloma). The goal is to store these samples and health data for future research to better understand these conditions. Participants do not …

This study looks at how often young children (ages 1 to 6) with inherited metabolic diseases develop eating disorders when they are on special diets. Researchers will use a feeding scale to measure eating problems in 200 children. The goal is to understand the link between these …

The SMILE study is tracking 10,000 adults aged 18 and older to see how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and metabolic diseases like diabetes influence overall health and lifespan. Researchers will collect data from medical records, tests, and surveys over time. This is an obs…

This study follows 100 children under 18 who are already on a ketogenic diet for conditions like drug-resistant epilepsy, autism, chronic migraine, or brain tumors. Researchers want to see if the diet supports healthy growth, improves symptoms, and boosts quality of life. The die…
