Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis

This study tests whether specially grown donor immune cells (viral-specific T-cells) can safely treat viral infections that often occur after a stem cell transplant. These infections can be serious and sometimes don't respond to standard antiviral drugs. The approach aims to boos…

This study tests whether giving patients donor-derived immune cells (VSTs) on a regular schedule can prevent dangerous viral infections after a stem cell transplant. 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive VSTs either on a fixed schedule or only when a virus is dete…

This early-stage trial tests a brain-computer interface called BrainGate for people with paralysis from conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. A small sensor is placed in the brain to interpret movement-related signals, allowing users to control a tablet computer just by thin…

This study is testing whether immune checkpoint inhibitors, drugs that help the immune system fight infections, can improve outcomes for people with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain virus. Researchers will follow 66 patients over a year, measuring di…

This study tests several already-approved drugs to see if they can slow down motor neuron disease (MND) and help people live longer. About 1150 adults with MND will be randomly assigned to receive one of the study drugs or a placebo. The trial uses a flexible design, allowing ine…

This study tests a new approach for people with motor neuron disease (ALS) that combines personalized brain stimulation with mixed reality exercise games. The goal is to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. One hundred adults with mild to moderate ALS will be ran…

Motor neuron disease (MND), including ALS, is hard to diagnose and often takes years to confirm. This pilot study uses a powerful 7 tesla MRI scanner to look for detailed brain features, called imaging biomarkers, that are specific to MND and its subtypes. Researchers will scan 3…

This study is testing a smartphone app that records and analyzes speech to help diagnose and monitor neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and motor neuron disease. Researchers will compare speech patterns from 150 people with these …

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) can help people with motor disorders, such as spinal cord injury or stroke, control assistive devices using their thoughts. Researchers will record brain signals with EEG and use machine learning to interpr…
