Studying choroid plexus function in brain diseases
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a part of the brain called the choroid plexus works in people with different brain conditions. It may help find better ways to diagnose or treat these diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a medical implant that is not safe for MRI scans.
- You are not allergic to the MRI contrast dye (gadolinium).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that would make a spinal tap unsafe.

This study looks at immune cells in blood to better understand rare brain conditions caused by genetic changes. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and how the immune system is involved.
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
This study follows people with a confirmed genetic nerve or brain disease over time, collecting blood and sometimes spinal fluid samples to learn more about the condition. It may help researchers understand how the disease progresses.
This study looks at genetic factors in people with PSP, CBS, MSA, or similar brain conditions, and also in their family members. It involves genetic testing to learn more about these diseases and may help find new treatments.
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
