This study looked at how anesthesia changes brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor who were already scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Researchers recorded brain signals during a short period of anesthesia to understand which circui…

This study looked at people with cone disorders, a type of inherited eye disease that affects color vision and sharp sight. Researchers analyzed genetic changes of unknown significance to see if they cause disease. The goal was to improve genetic diagnosis, not to test a treatmen…

This study looked at whether peeling a thin membrane inside the eye (the internal limiting membrane) during surgery for a detached retina helps patients see better and prevents scar tissue. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only 21 people, so the results are not strong …

This study tested whether two gut hormones, GIP and GLP-2, could reduce bone breakdown in children with spinal muscular atrophy, cerebral palsy, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy who use wheelchairs. Participants received a liquid meal and then either a hormone injection or a placeb…

This study tested a new, non-invasive eye imaging method called hyperspectral imaging. It takes pictures of the back of the eye using many different colors of light to find details not visible with standard cameras. About 679 adults with healthy eyes or eye diseases like diabetic…

This study aimed to observe how MECP2 duplication syndrome progresses over time by measuring biological markers in spinal fluid and blood, and by tracking changes in development, behavior, and seizures. It enrolled 29 males aged 1 month to 65 years with a confirmed genetic diagno…

This study aimed to find brain and movement markers in people with a type of depression that doesn't respond to standard antidepressants, called anhedonic depression. Researchers measured brain waves (P300), walking speed, and hand movements in 36 participants. The goal was to id…

This study followed 7 people with Mucolipidosis Type IV (MLIV) to learn how the disease naturally progresses. Researchers used tests like neuropsychological exams, blood and urine tests, and brain MRIs to find better ways to measure the disease. The goal was to improve future cli…

This study looked at over 100 people with inherited retinal dystrophies, a group of rare eye diseases that can cause vision loss. Researchers collected genetic and eye exam data to find links between specific gene mutations and symptoms. The goal was to better understand these di…

This study tested a new questionnaire called Prolac-10 to see if it can accurately measure quality of life in people with prolactinoma (a type of pituitary tumor) who are starting medical treatment. Only 8 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to check…

This early-stage study looked at how two common drugs (carbamazepine and itraconazole) change the levels of radiprodil in the blood of 30 healthy adults. The goal was to understand safety and dosing for future use in neurological conditions like tuberous sclerosis. However, the s…

This study followed 65 adult men with a rare inherited nerve disease called AMN (a form of spastic paraplegia) to understand how their symptoms change over time. Researchers collected data on walking ability and quality of life. The goal was to fill gaps in knowledge about the di…

This study aims to find out how common transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is in Russian patients with a certain type of heart failure. Researchers will review medical records and then invite some patients for extra heart tests to confirm or rule out ATTR-CM. The g…

This study looked at one person with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) to better understand the disease. Researchers examined muscle tissue and checked for specific biomarkers. The goal was to learn more about how FSHD affects the body, not to test a treatment.

This study follows up on children with Krabbe disease who received a one-time gene therapy infusion (FBX-101) in earlier trials. Researchers will monitor safety and measure motor skills over time. Only 2 participants are enrolled, so results are very limited.

This study tested a small device implanted under the scalp to record brain waves (EEG) continuously for up to 12 weeks in people with epilepsy. The goal was to see if it could detect seizures better than standard short-term hospital monitoring and patient diaries. The trial invol…

This study looked at whether intensive treadmill exercise can improve motor symptoms and reduce inflammation in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. Researchers measured changes in movement scores and blood markers of nerve damage and inflammation in 30 patients who eithe…

This is an OLE study conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical effects of WVE-004 in adult participants with ALS, FTD, or mixed ALS/FTD phenotype with a documented mutation in the C9orf72 gene. To participate in the…

Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and there are persistent and significant disparities in tobacco use among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. Stigma, discrimination, gender dysphoria, and other gender minority stressors l…
