Are you suffering from persistent symptoms that began after you were diagnosed and treated with antibiotics for Lyme Disease? This new research study aims to test a new form of treatment for people with persistent symptoms despite antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease. This treatment involves stimulating a nerve on the surface of your ear. This is called…
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…
Have you been treated for Lyme Disease but continue to have brain fog or other cognitive problems? This research study will assess a non-medication non-invasive intervention to improve cognitive functioning in people with persistent cognitive problems despite prior antibiotic treatment for Lyme Disease. Participants will complete this 4 week intervention at…
This patient case registry for Lyme and other Tick-borne Diseases is a component of the Clinical Trials Network that was launched in 2021 by a grant from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation. The registry will gather general information such as demographics, medical history, and current functional status. This information will help researchers to…
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.
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…
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…
The Sponsor is conducting this study to find out how safe and effective the investigational drug (alsocalled a study drug) obeticholic acid (also known as OCA) may be in improving compensated cirrhosis caused by NASH. Currently, there are no therapies approved for the treatment of NASH. OCA (the brand name is Ocaliva) has been approved in several…
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…
This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of patients with NAFL or NASH designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. The main purpose of this research study is to collect and study information on patients with NAFLD/NASH.The goal of this study is to observe any treatment…
Patients who have been diagnosed with decompensated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis may be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. NASH is liver inflammation and damage caused by a buildup of fat in the liver. The main purpose of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of a drug called Emricasan (IDN-6556) in reducing the risk…
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 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…
