Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Philip De Jager, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
Genes and Environment in MS (GEMS) is a longitudinal cohort study investigating how genetics and environment can lead to the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. We are recruiting first-degree relatives (siblings, parents, and children) of people who have been diagnosed with MS. This study involves the collection of magnetic resonance…
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Philip De Jager, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
MS Genetics aims to better understand the genetic component of demyelinating diseases by doing genetic testing on blood samples of participants. This study involves a one-time blood draw and completion of questionnaires spread out over a couple of years in hopes to better understand the genes that makes one predisposed to Multiple …
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Philip De Jager, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
The Snapshot study aims to understand brain and spinal cord aging in healthy individuals and individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). We aim to identify new tools that will help us to achieve successful brain aging in the general population and in people with an underlying autoimmune disease. A critical aspect of this study…
Condition: Neurological Disorders
Investigator: Rebecca Straus Farber, MD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We need your help today to gather information about the experience of patients with autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), and anti-MOG associated disease (MOGAD)) in regards to COVID-19 vaccines. Because individuals with MS, NMO, and MOGAD were not included in…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Currently Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to develop a cohort of patients with early scleroderma and to collect data on clinical outcomes, radiological tests, laboratory tests, and to obtain biological specimens for testing.
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Victoria Leavitt, PhD
Status: Closed
ASPIRE is a clinical trial to investigate aspirin as a treatment to improve exercise performance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who experience overheating during exercise. Persons with multiple sclerosis benefit from exercise, but many avoid it because of exhaustion and overheating. This…
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Rebecca Straus Farber, MD
Status: Closed
We are currently recruiting individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), first-degree family members of persons with MS, and healthy individuals to take part in our research on the effects of probiotics. Our goal is to better understand how the health of the gut microbiome influences the immune system.
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Rebecca Straus Farber, MD
Status: Closed
This study will be used to evaluate the immunologic effects of Prebiotics (soluble fiber required by beneficial bacteria), in comparison to Probiotics (beneficial bacteria), in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Rebecca Straus Farber, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences between immune profiles of individuals remaining on Ocrelizumab/Rituximab versus those transitioning to diroximel fumarate at two years. Baseline visits for subjects transitioning to diroximel fumarate (DRF) will take place 6 months after last Ocrelizumab (OCR) or Rituximab (RTX) dose, prior to…
Condition: Neurological Disorders / Multiple Sclerosis
Investigator: Claire Riley, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to see if ocrelizumab (study drug) will stabilize, or potentiallyimprove the signs and symptoms of your MS. Ocrelizumab is a type of drug called amonoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies act like your bodys immune system andattach to certain cells in order to attack germs and other illnesses in your body.Ocrelizumab attaches…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Closed
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic connective tissue disease characterized by fibrosis and atrophy, namely of the skin, internal organs, joints, and skeletal muscles. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to test the efficacy of abatacept (Orencia) on the treatment of diffuse cutaneous systemic…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Closed
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic connective tissue disease characterized by fibrosis and atrophy, namely of the skin, internal organs, joints, and skeletal muscles. There are numerous manifestations of SSc that affect multiple organ systems. The major pulmonary manifestations of SSc, interstitial lung disease and…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of a study drug called abituzumab in subjects with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The study will also look at the following: How the study drug affects other symptoms of SSc-ILD -How safe the study drug is (i.e. if there…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a drug called iloprost is safe to use in people with systemic sclerosis (SSc) (Raynaud's phenomenon), and whether it may help decrease symptomatic digital ischemic episodes (episodes in the fingers).
Condition: Neurological Disorders
Investigator: Hiroshi Mitsumoto, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of tirasemtiv as a potential new therapy for the improvement of breathing, muscle weakness and muscle fatigue in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The effects of tirasemtiv on the performance of your elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and hand…
Condition: Neurological Disorders
Investigator: Philip De Jager, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We're testing a new type of MRI scanner that's smaller and portable - like a mobile MRI unit. This makes it easier to provide brain scans to people who have difficulty traveling to hospitals or live far from medical centers. We'll be studying people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and similar brain conditions. Our goal is to…
Condition: Autoimmune Disorders
Investigator: Elana Bernstein, MD
Status: Closed
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of abituzumab in subjects withsystemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD).Abituzumab is an investigational drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of patients withsystemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated…
Condition: Neurological Disorders
Investigator: Matthew Harms, MD
Status: Closed
This is an observational study designed to collect information about Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) disorders. FTLD is a term for a related group of neurodegenerative disorders that cause impairments in personality, cognitive ability, language, and motor function. This study aims to build a reliable clinical research network to support treatment…
