Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02194816Recruiting
Online survey study for people with Parkinson’s or Parkinsonism
This study looks at how changing certain factors over time relates to symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. You may help researchers by completing longer online surveys every 6 months for 5 years.
Kenmore, WashingtonAges 19 years+ - NCT05849467RecruitingPhase 1
Testing how the brain absorbs anti–CD8 therapy in nervous system disease
This Phase 1 study tests a small drug (called an anti–CD8+ T cell minibody) to see how much reaches the brain. It may help researchers understand how to deliver similar treatments for multiple sclerosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), or other brain inflammation when the brain’s protective barrier is “open.”
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07425574Recruiting
Study on how Stargardt eye conditions progress in children and adults
This study observes how Stargardt disease and similar eye conditions change over time in children and adults. It aims to learn more about the disease progression to help develop future treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 6 years+ - NCT05100992Recruiting
Bifurcation heart procedure registry for adults
This study is a real-world registry that follows adults who are getting a specific type of heart stent procedure in a forked artery. It helps doctors learn what happens before and after the procedure and improve care.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05867381Recruiting
Air purifier use to slow heart artery plaque in older adults
This trial tests whether using indoor air filtration at home can slow the progression of heart artery plaque-related problems in people with a past history of ischemic heart disease. It may help by improving indoor air quality, which the study links to inflammation in the body.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 65–84 - NCT07611396Recruiting
Study of brain changes in memory and thinking with aging
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
Germantown, MarylandAges 55 years+ - NCT07514039Enrolling by invitation
Special Myopia Glasses for Children and Teens
This study tests new glasses with special microscopic patterns designed to slow down myopia (nearsightedness) in children and teenagers. Researchers want to see if wearing these glasses can help prevent myopia from getting worse.
ShanghaiAges 6–14 - NCT06221592Enrolling by invitation
New glasses for slowing myopia in children
This study is testing the safety and comfort of new glasses with special lenses designed to slow down nearsightedness in children. It compares differences between the new lenses and regular lenses, and the child will wear them for a period of time to see how they feel and if there are any concerns.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–14 - NCT05544266Recruiting
Study rare diabetes patterns to better guide diagnosis
This study looks at people who may have a “non-typical” form of diabetes, including rare genetic causes or unusual symptoms. It may help your care team understand what type of diabetes you have and whether specific genetic testing could explain it.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT06843005Recruiting
Heart CT scan study for plaque changes in mild coronary disease
This study uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
