This study focuses on the effects of aerobic conditioning on cardiovascular function and inflammatory response. Eligible participants will complete an exercise stress test, laboratory visit, and cognitive testing session at three specific time points over the course of the study. Once the initial set of appointments is complete, participants are randomly…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ION-682884 given for 24 months in patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) also known as Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP), and determine if it can help people with mild or moderate polyneuropathy. To be in this study you must have FAP and be…
HELIOS-A is a global Phase 3 randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALN-TTRSC02 in adult patients with hATTR amyloidosis experiencing neurologic symptoms brought on by the disease. The study will also evaluate any changes in quality of life experienced by study participants. ALN-TTRSC02 utilizes the mechanism of RNA…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
This study focuses on the effects of aerobic conditioning on cognition and brain activity. Eligible participants will complete an exercise stress test, MRI, and cognitive testing session at the beginning and end of the study. Once participants complete the first set of appointments, they will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions for 12-weeks.…
