The main goal of this clinical trial is to determine if an investigational medication called VEL101 is safe, well tolerated, and effective in people receiving a new kidney transplant. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 different doses of VEL-101 or to tacrolimus, which is standardly used post-transplant to prevent rejection. Participants will be…
Dance is a complex activity involving the integration of rhythm, spatial patterns, synchronization to external stimuli and whole-body coordination. While regular exercise is often recommended for people with Huntington's Disease (HD), there are no studies examining the use of dance to improve balance and mobility and positively affect the quality of…
This purpose of this study is to understand the interaction between two different medications, tacrolimus and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), in patients who have had a kidney transplant and are being treated by their doctor for COVID-19 infection. Tacrolimus is an oral medication that is used standardly in kidney transplant recipients to prevent…
This is a 60-month adaptive to evaluate three siplizumab-based treatment regimens in kidney transplant recipients. The purpose of this research study is to see if the anti-rejection medications that patients normally take after transplant can be reduced or stopped completely by using several medications including the investigational drug siplizumab in the…
Kidney transplant extends life, improves quality of life, and reduces healthcare costs. Unfortunately, there are not enough donated kidneys, so many people who need a transplant spend years on the waiting list. Kidneys from organ donors who have hepatitis C virus (HCV) are often thrown away, but these kidneys work well, and hepatitis C can be cured. The…
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug called tegoprubart (also known as AT1501) is safe and effective in preventing rejection in patients who are undergoing a kidney transplant for the first time. Participants will be randomly assigned to tegoprubart or standard treatment with tacrolimusat the time of transplant. If you have…
The DIMENSION Study is evaluating the safety and effect on cognitive symptoms of an investigational oral drug in adults with early Huntington's disease. Cognitive symptoms may include difficulty paying attention or trouble thinking through steps of an activity or complex problems. Symptoms may also include difficulty planning, remembering, and staying…
Kidney transplant patients are at a higher risk for bone fractures compared to the general population. We are doing a clinical trial to examine the effects of 12-months of treatment with denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against RANKL, on bone density and strength as determined by bone imaging and by non-invasive measures of bone activity from blood and…
We are currently enrolling individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to participate in this research study. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational medication, brexpiprazole, for PTSD. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either brexpiprazole, sertraline (also known as…
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether a new investigational drug called SRX246, which might be useful to Huntington's Disease (HD) patients who sometimes feel irritable, angry, or even aggressive, is well tolerated and safe when it is given two times a day by mouth at doses as high as 160 mg. As part of this study, we will use a…
Subjects who undergo a kidney transplant require long term use of anti-rejection (immunosuppressive)drugs to prevent their body's immune system from attacking and damaging the newly transplanted kidney (rejection).The purpose of this study is to evaluate benefits and risks of two combinations(regimens) of immunosuppressive therapies: Thymoglobulin…
The purpose of this research study is to see if an investigational drug, BB3, is safe and effective forincreasing the amount of urine that a transplanted kidney will produce. An investigational drugis one that is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). BB3 is agrowth factor-like drug, which means that it can affect cell…
Approximately half of the individuals with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) present with major depressive disorder (MDD). Compared to PTSD alone, patients with comorbid PTSD-MDD demonstrate greater distress and poorer treatment outcome. The goal of this pilot study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of an…
