The study uses brain imaging and cortisol to understand risk and protective factors for mental health among adolescents on social media. We are currently recruiting adolescents ages 14-18 who struggle with mental health. To participate in our study, we would ask your child to: (a) complete a mental health interview (over Zoom), (b) complete a Magnetic…
We are currently enrolling individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) to participate in this research study. This is a one-year open-label study to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of an investigational drug called REL-1017 (esmethadone) when taken alone (monotherapy) or when taken with other antidepressants (adjunctive therapy). Study…
We will evaluate the D-cycloserine (DCS) and lurasidone with MRI measurement of brain responses to DCS. DCS is a drug that works on the same brain receptor as ketamine. DCS is not approved by the FDA for bipolar depression. Study participants will receive a dose of lurasidone or placebo in one MRI and a dose of DCS in another, followed by an optional follow…
We are currently looking for men and women, age 18-65 y, to participate in a sleep study. To participate you must have experienced insomnia (difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing sleep that is unrefreshing) for at least 1 month. This is a 2-phase outpatient and inpatient study. We will test 2 different non-drug based methods to improve…
We are studying the relationship between mitochondrial function and the experience of fatigue. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. Cells within different organs contain hundreds to thousands of mitochondria, which sustain life and fuel energy-dependent processes that we do every day including muscle contraction and cognitive activity. They act…
This research study uses non-invasive brain imaging called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). For fNIRS, a small infrared bulb shines light through the skull, and a special light detector is able to measure oxygen use in the brain. Our goal is to understand oxygen use by brain mitochondria cells in major depression and how this is affected by…
HELIOS-A is a global Phase 3 randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALN-TTRSC02 in adult patients with hATTR amyloidosis experiencing neurologic symptoms brought on by the disease. The study will also evaluate any changes in quality of life experienced by study participants. ALN-TTRSC02 utilizes the mechanism of RNA…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ION-682884 given for 24 months in patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) also known as Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP), and determine if it can help people with mild or moderate polyneuropathy. To be in this study you must have FAP and be…
