Early Age-Related Hearing Loss Investigation (EARHLI) is a study to obtain information on how a hearing aid-based intervention can prevent cognitive decline in those at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most common chronic condition in older adults. The…
We are doing this study to test the use of a drug called bromocriptine for women with a condition called Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). The study will look at how the heart muscle improves in women taking bromocriptine compared to a group of women given a placebo or inactive pill.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the mechanisms of hearing loss, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with hearing loss. Individuals with hearing loss will be compared to individuals with normal hearing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and long-term effects of CK-3773274 and to learn how well it is tolerated at different, increasing dose levels in participants with HCM.

Acute inner ear hearing loss is the sudden onset of hearing loss, usually in one ear, without any known cause. Acute hearing loss can permanently destroy some of the hair cells (that govern the sense of hearing) and / or hearing nerve in the inner ear.The drug AM-111 has been developed to protect the hearing cells and nerve following sudden inner ear…
The purpose of this trial is to determine if people with impaired heart function, that may have been induced with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or radiation, will have improved heart function with a cardiac device that can pace the heart more efficiently using cardiac resynchronization therapy.
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to use a virus to deliver a new gene to the inner ear of people with hearing loss. This is a kind of gene therapy which involves gene transfer. Once the genetic material and vector are surgically administered to you, it is not possible to remove these agents. The study is designed to evaluate…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the investigational drug, Mavacamten, to a placebo (an inactive drug). This is being done to evaluate whether Mavacamten is safe in obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients and helps to improve symptoms or ability to exercise. Mavacamten is an investigational drug. This means that it has…
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medicine that is used to treat a variety of cancers. At high total (cumulative) doses it can be associated with progressive and irreversible hearing loss. The purpose of this study is see if injections of OTO-104 can protect against hearing loss associated with cisplatin therapy in the treatment of cancer. OTO-104 contains an…
The purpose of this study is to find out how doctors describe hepatic encephalopathy episodes in patients medical records in the course of their regular practice. The aim of the study is simply to collect information from their medical records about how their episodes of overt hepatic encephalopathy are described. There is nothing that will be required of…
The purpose of this outpatient study is to examine if oral Spironolactone (100mg/day) in addition to loop diuretics (water pills) can improve signs and symptoms of fluid retention in patients with heart failure and prevent hospitalization.
The purpose of this study is to compare the time to onset of an episode of overt HE, in subjects with previously demonstrated overt HE after treatment with rifaximin 550 mg BID and lactulose, or rifaximin 550 mg BID. Subjects will be screened to confirm eligibility into the study. Once confirmed, subjects will begin the treatment phase and will be randomly…
