  • if the Study Drug Diamyd Can Preserve Insulin Production and Improve Glycemic Control in Patients Newly Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes

    open to eligible people ages 12-28

    The objective of DIAGNODE-3 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three intranodal injections of 4 μg of Diamyd compared to placebo, along with oral Vitamin D supplementation, to preserve endogenous beta cell function and influence glycemic parameters in adolescent and adults recently diagnosed with T1D carrying the HLA DR3-DQ2 haplotype.

  • Long-term Safety and Clinical Activity of mRNA-3927 in Participants Previously Enrolled in the mRNA-3927-P101 Study

    open to eligible people ages 1 year and up

    The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mRNA-3927 administered to participants with propionic acidemia (PA) who have previously participated in Study mRNA-3927-P101 (NCT04159103).

  • ECUR-506 in Male Babies Less Than 9 Months of Age With Neonatal Onset OTC Deficiency

    open to eligible males ages up to 7 months

    Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder, is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in a liver enzyme responsible for detoxification of ammonia. Individuals with OTC deficiency can build-up excess levels of ammonia in their blood, potentially resulting in devastating consequences, including cumulative and irreversible neurological damage, coma and death. The severe form of the condition emerges shortly after birth and is more common in boys than girls. This is a Phase 1/2/3, open-label, multicenter, safety, efficacy, and dose finding study of ECUR-506 in male babies with neonatal onset OTC deficiency. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of up to three dose levels of ECUR-506 following intravenous (IV) administration of a single dose.

  • Retatrutide Compared With Placebo in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Moderate or Severe Renal Impairment, With Inadequate Glycemic Control on Basal Insulin, With or Without Metformin and/or SGLT2 Inhibitor (TRANSCEND-T2D-3)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide compared with placebo in participants with Type 2 Diabetes and renal impairment, with inadequate glycemic control on basal insulin alone or a combination of basal insulin with or without metformin and/or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. The study will last about 14 months and may include up to 22 visits.

  • Daily Beef Intake, as a Component of a Heart-Healthy Diet on Cellular Zinc

    “Volunteer for research and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!”

    open to eligible people ages 55-70

    The objective of the current study is to test the overarching hypothesis that the beef nutritive matrix is uniquely suited to direct dietary zinc to cellular compartments for improved metabolic function, leading to a greater effect on health outcomes. Specifically, whether beef, as a component of a healthy meal, will promote the absorption of zinc into cells, where the zinc will have greater effects on zinc-dependent metabolic processes supporting cardiovascular health. To maximize the observability of these beef-related effects, individuals who are 55- to 70-year-old who generally have a higher risk of zinc deficiency and cardiovascular disease will be enrolled.

  • Insomnia Treatment and Cardiometabolic Health in Older Adults With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

    open to eligible people ages 50 years and up

    This pilot pre-post trial will address a gap in knowledge related to addressing modifiable risk factors for cardiometabolic disease through treating residual insomnia, sleep difficulties that remain after successful treatment of another condition, in the context of PTSD in understudied older adults. This study provides a non-medication treatment for PTSD called Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) followed by a non-medication sleep education and treatment program (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, CBT-I) for sleep problems that remain after completing PTSD treatment in older adults with PTSD. The aims of this project are to evaluate 1) the added benefits of treating residual insomnia on sleep and PTSD symptoms; 2) the added benefits of treating residual insomnia following CPT on cardiometabolic risk biomarkers and quality of life; and 3) the durability of the sleep, PTSD, cardiometabolic and quality of life benefits of treating residual insomnia following CPT at 6-month follow-up in older adults with PTSD.

  • mRNA-3927 in Participants With Propionic Acidemia

    open to all eligible people

    This 3-part, Phase 1/2 study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacological activity (as assessed by biomarker measurements) and to determine the selected dose of mRNA-3927 in participants with genetically confirmed propionic acidemia (PA). After establishing a dose with an acceptable safety and pharmacodynamic (PD) response for participants ≥1 year of age in Part 1, participants will be enrolled in Part 2 (which will serve as the pivotal study) to allow for determination of the efficacy, safety, and PD of mRNA-3927. Part 3 will evaluate the safety, efficacy and PD response of mRNA-3927 in infants (<1 year of age).

  • Gene Therapy 4D-310 in Adults With Fabry Disease

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This is a prospective multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of 4D-310 following a single IV administration. The study population is comprised of adult males and females with Fabry Disease.

  • Encaleret Compared to Standard of Care in Participants With ADH1

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The primary purpose of the study is to understand the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of encaleret when compared to standard of care (SoC) treatment in participants with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1).

  • DMR Using the Revita® in Subjects With Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes

    Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later

    The Revita® system is being investigated to assess the efficacy of DMR versus Sham on improvement in Glycemic, Hepatic and Cardiovascular endpoints for patients with Type 2 Diabetes who are inadequately controlled on one or more glucose lowering agents. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the Fractyl DMR Procedure using the Revita® System compared to a sham. Subjects randomized to the DMR procedure will be followed per protocol till 48 weeks post treatment. Subjects in the Sham treatment arm will be offered cross over to receive the DMR treatment at 48 weeks and will be followed per protocol for 48 weeks post treatment.

  • ADH1 and ADH2 Disease Monitoring Study (DMS)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    A global, multi-center, Disease Monitoring Study (DMS) in participants with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1) or Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 2 (ADH2) designed to characterize ADH1 and ADH2 disease presentation and progression through retrospective (past) and longitudinal prospective (over time into the future) data collection.
