We are conducting a research study on how psoriasis might be caused or worsened by high levels of the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin. We are seeking people with plaque psoriasis, ages 18-65, who are overweight or obese with a body mass index of 25-35. Participants will have blood drawn and small skin biopsies taken from psoriasis plaques and nearby…
The purpose of this study is to examine the causes and pathology of alopecia areata and other hair and skin disorders. Skin biopsies and blood and/or clinical information collected in the study will be used for research aiming at developing new options for the treatment of alopecia areata and other skin and hair disorders.
Genetic studies help us to understand why some people develop certain diseases while others don't and also provide important clues about how best to treat the disease.
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…
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…
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (how well the study drug works) of NBTRX3 administered via intratumoral injections (injected directly into tumor) and used together with radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab, and how it compares with radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab.…
The study involves research about MGA271 in combination with Keytruda. MGA271 targets cancer cells that make a lot of a protein called B7-H3. Another way to say it is that the cells "overexpress" the protein. Very few normal cells express B7-H3. MGA271 is though to work by recognizing cancer cells that overexpress B7-H3 and directing the body…
The purpose of this study is to study ADU-S100 and pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). This study aims to evaluate how safe and effective this drug combination is at treating your cancer. These drugs are thought to work by interacting with your immune system to in order to more effectively…
There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial based on a blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed…
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…
