Caring for Someone Else?  Caring for Others Starts With Caring for Yourself.  Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia is important work—but it can also be stressful and exhausting.  Many caregivers, put their own health last.  As a caregiver, you deserve care, too. Our study is about supporting caregivers by helping them build a simple, at-home exercise routine right from home to improve their health and well-being.Exercise can help reduce stress, improve mood, and increase energy. This study offers free exercise equipment and virtual support to help caregivers get started and stay active.

Long-Term Outcomes of Skull Base Repair for Spontaneous CSF Leaks

R
Rick Nelson, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Observational
This is a prospective observational study with the purpose of evaluating the durability of the bone cement repair used to treat spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks (SCSFL). Long-term follow-up data will be collected from the EMR from standard of care procedures. Additionally, subjects will be asked to complete a one-time questionnaire related to their symptoms and health.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - The study staff will screen for subject eligibility against the inclusion and exclusion criteria for all potential subjects. This will occur via chart review of scheduled clinic patients within the Neuroscience Center or hospital,. Some referrals may come from PI, clinical staff, and/or other research staff. Research staff will meet eligible patients to explain the study, review the consent form, ask the subject if they voluntarily agree to participate, and obtain consent.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Effect of Muvalaplin on the Reduction of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Adults With Elevated Lipoprotein(A) Who Have Had a Prior Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Event or Are at Risk for a First Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Event

Phase 3
Interventional
Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, there are currently no approved pharmaceutical interventions for Lp(a) lowering. Recent studies have demonstrated that muvalaplin effectively reduces Lp(a) and is well tolerated by study participants. This study will investigate the effect of muvalaplin on the reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with elevated Lp(a) who have either a prior atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event or are at risk for a first ASCVD event. This study will also provide additional evidence for the potential clinical benefits of muvalaplin in this population.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of muvalaplin in reducing cardiovascular risk in participants with high lipoprotein(a) who have cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY

A Registry Study for Children with Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT)

All genders
 Study goals:To analyze the significance of treatment, clinical and molecular variables in predicting progression free survival (PFS) at 6 months (PFS6) from date of diagnosis.To create a well annotated ATRT biorepository for current and future studies through the collection of biospecimens, imaging and key clinical data.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.  Interested in participating?

DID YOU KNOW?  Herbicides are widely used in the Heartland, and farmers are using these chemicals more than ever before. Several studies have raised concern that some of the herbicides  may be associated with reproductive disorders, certain birth defects, and developmental disorders. What are herbicides? Herbicides are a type of pesticide that are used to protect our food crops, trees, vines, and pastures from harmful weeds. Some herbicides are also used in and around our homes, parks, sports fields, and golf courses. Herbicide use has increased significantly since the 1990s and is projected to rise rapidly on corn and soybean farms in the Midwest for the next 5-10 years.  As more pounds are applied, higher levels of human exposure are expected.    What Is the Heartland Study?Mother-infant pairs living in the Midwest will be followed throughout pregnancy, infancy and early childhood to observe health and development in order to better understand the effects of prenatal herbicide exposures. Your participation will help researchers to increase their knowledge about how herbicide exposure might affect pregnancy, newborn health, child childhood development, and future generations.

Why is this study being done?The goal of this study is to better understand how preferences for sweet flavors affect dietary habits, heart and metabolic health. Who can take part?We are looking for  adolescents (ages 12-18) who consume sugary sodas and their families (only one parent/guardian can participate). Participants must also be able to attend study visits at the Nutrition Research Center on either IU Indianapolis or IU Bloomington campus or Purdue University (West Lafayette).
