Recently added/updated trials

AIHA Patient Registry

C
Craig Lammert, MD
100 years or below
All genders
WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE?Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is liver inflammation that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks liver cells. It is caused by an overactive immune system, and it is unknown why this happens. The Autoimmune Hepatitis Association (AIHA) is a not-for-profit organization seeking to develop a patient registry for people who are affected by autoimmune hepatitis to begin to characterize this poorly understood disease. 

Placental Chorangioma Prospective Observational Study

D
David Streitman, MD
100 years or below
Female
 Placental chorangioma is a rare pregnancy complication but with significant maternal and fetal consequences. Chorangioma is a benign tumor of the placenta. As it grows, it can cause pregnancy complications. Little is known about the natural history of placental chorangioma or its response to in-utero intervention. The aim of this research is to describe outcomes in pregnancies complicated by placental chorangiomas. There are no procedures or interventions done to the mother or baby as part of this research.

3-D Arterial Reconstruction

A
Alan Sawchuk, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
The purpose of this study is to develop a technique that automates the 3-D arterial construction of anatomical geometry of the diseased carotid arteries based on duplex ultrasound B-mode images from cine loops

Olfactory Neurons Study

K
Kathy Newell
100 years or below
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
We propose to study cells obtained from the upper nose in patients with clinically diagnosed Alzheimer Disease or related dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. There is evidence that cells from the nose may show changes associated to these neurological illnesses. The study of cells from normal subjects is necessary for comparison.

Human Tissue Sampling for Generation of Stem Cells

R
Rick Nelson, MD
12 month - 95 years
All genders
The study of genetic hearing loss has been limited to animal models due to the difficulty accessing human tissue within the inner ear. We can now generate all of the components of the human inner ear in a culture dish using human stem cells from patients with known genetic type hearing loss by sampling the skin and deriving induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Those iPSCs can then be used to generate models of the human inner ear called ‘organoids” for scientific study into how those genes cause hearing loss and test compounds that may prevent or treat the hearing loss.

Immunoassay of Gingival and Peri-implant Crevicular Fluid

A
Alexandru Movila, PhD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
The goal of this study is to use a new immune monitoring (test and define properties of the patient’s cells). This information will help work towards :in vitro panel kit, that analyzes properties like 65 cytokines, chemokines, growth factors/regulators, and soluble receptors simultaneously within 1) the GCF(gingival crevicular fluid) of gender and age matched periodontally healthy and diseased sulci, 2) the PICF (peri-implant crevicular fluid) of gender and aged matched peri implant healthy and periimplantitis sulci, and 3) to analyze associations between biomarkers found in these sulci (space between tooth and gum tissue) and how they relate to age and gender.

ROCK-D

K
Kenneth Lim
18 years - 100 years
All genders
The purpose of the study is to identify the best diagnostic test that could be used to assess cardiovascular risk in patients on dialysis. The study will also develop a new scoring system that can more accurately calculate the risk of developing an adverse cardiovascular event.
