The CureGN Bone Study is a prospective study that is assessing the effects of 4-types of kidney disease on the skeleton. In order for us to determine the true effect of kidney disease on bone, we need to determine what healthy bone looks for patients who have the same age, race, sex, and body mass index as the patients with kidney disease. We are looking…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of a drug called MTX110 and a contrast agent called gadolinium that can be given safely in children with newly diagnosed diffuse midline gliomas, which is a kind of brain tumor. All patients enrolled in the study will receive infusion of MTX110 and Gadolinium delivered with a pump directly into the tumor…
The purpose of this research study is to see if the combination of medications approved for the treatment of glioblastoma, together with the study drug, selinexor (also known as XPOVIO), has any effects on your cancer. Selinexor works by trapping tumor suppressor proteins within the cell nucleus. This is expected to cause the cancer cells to die or stop…
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and usefulness of the study drug, AG-881, as compared to placebo (a medically inactive substance) in residual or recurrent non-enhancing Grade 2 glioma (a type of brain cancer) that has a mutation in the IDH1 or IDH2 metabolic enzyme (a substance produced by the body to assist in breaking down chemicals).…
The purpose of this research study is to test how safe and how well an investigational drug known as ONC201 works in treating high grade glioma (a type of brain cancer). The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved ONC201 as a treatment for this condition.
The purpose of this study is to measure how well and how safe eflornithine is in combination with lomustine, compared to lomustine taken alone, in treating patients whose anaplastic astrocytoma has come back after radiation and chemotherapy. Safety and how well you can tolerate the drug will be determined on the basis of physical exams, laboratory tests,…
Are you suffering from chronic fatigue that began after you were diagnosed and treated with antibiotics for Lyme Disease? This new treatment research study investigates whether disulfiram, commonly known as "Antabuse", has the potential to be used as a treatment option for patients experiencing chronic post-treatment Lyme symptoms. This well-known…
Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN) can occur when patients with pre-existing kidney problems undergo procedures that use iodinated contrast media, such as cardiac catheterizations. RenalGuard Therapy was developed to enable the patient to clear the contrast out of their kidney before it can do significant damage. This study aims to enroll patients with…
The purpose of this research study is to understand the way Alport Syndrome affects patients kidneys over time. Alport syndrome is a genetic condition that causes damage to your kidneys over time. Currently there is not much information on the disease. Information about how the body is affected by the disease will be collected, along with medical and family…
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a disease in which your kidneys allow an excess amount of protein in your urine. Too much protein in the urine (also called proteinuria) is a medical condition called nephrotic syndrome. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, Acthar, in adult patients…
The CDC estimates that 10-20% of patients with Lyme disease will go on to have chronic symptoms despite having had appropriate treatment, a condition known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). While there is currently no known cure, various therapies are being investigated. One promising approach is the practice of meditation and yoga which have…
