NCT02504697
The goal of this project is to improve lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals by identifying biomarkers of preclinical disease and disease risk that are measured in minimally invasive and non-invasive biospecimens. Existing biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis as well as new biomarkers discovered specifically in this clinical setting will be examined. Biomarkers that identify individuals at highest risk for being diagnosed with lung cancer prior to the appearance of concerning symptoms could increase the utility of lung cancer surveillance and the efficiency of lung cancer chemoprevention clinical trials. Achieving these goals would improve the detection and treatment of early stage and incipient lung cancer, while restricting the risk of these procedures to those individuals who currently exhibit the early molecular warning signs of impending disease.
NCT01851447
Background: \- Some kinds of muscular dystrophy affect the skeletal muscle membrane. In these conditions, the muscle membrane is more fragile. This affects how the muscles contract and relax, which causes movement problems. Researchers are looking at several muscle enzymes, or chemicals that affect how muscle cells function. By studying changes in these enzymes, they may be able to better understand how muscular dystrophy affects the cells. Researchers want to collect biomarkers (chemicals from blood samples) from people with fragile sarcolemmal muscular dystrophy. This information may provide better treatments for this condition. Objectives: \- To study biomarkers that may affect the muscles of people with fragile sarcolemmal muscular dystrophy. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age with fragile sarcolemmal muscular dystrophy. Design: * Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. * Participants will be asked to come for four visits to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. The visits will be at least 2 months apart. Each visit will require participants to stay for 5 days at the clinical center. * During each visit, participants will provide frequent small blood samples. These samples will be collected while at rest and after physical exercise. * Participants will also have a physical therapy assessment. They will perform standard motor function tests and imaging tests (MRI, MRS). These tests may take up to 1 hour each time. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
NCT00353782
This study will evaluate people with dyslipidemias - disorders that affect the fat content in the blood. Fats, or lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, are carried in the blood in particles called lipoproteins. These particles are involved in causing blood vessel diseases that can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or heart attack. Participants will undergo accepted medical tests and procedures to evaluate their condition. Most of the test results are helpful in making a diagnosis and in guiding treatment. People with lipid disorders are eligible for this study. Representative types of patients include those with: * Plasma cholesterol levels greater than 200 mg/dl or less than 120 mg/dl * Plasma LDL-C levels greater than 130 mg/dl or less than 70 mg/dl * Plasma HDL-C levels greater than 70 mg/dl or less than 25 mg/dl * Unusual cholesterol deposits or xanthomas (nodules of lipid deposits on the skin) Children under 2 years of age are excluded from the study. Participants will undergo some or all of the following procedures: \- Plasma evaluation. Apolipoproteins (plasma proteins involved in metabolism of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and proteins in the blood) and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism are measured....
NCT04889430
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to determine whether iptacopan (LNP023) is efficacious and safe for the treatment of aHUS in adult patients who are treatment naive to complement inhibitor therapy.
NCT01251861
This phase II trial studies how well giving bicalutamide with or without Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with previously treated prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether bicalutamide is more effective with or without Akt inhibitor MK2206 in treating prostate cancer.

NCT06383403
The participants in this study will have confirmed PBC with inadequate response or intolerance to Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is a medication used in the management and treatment of cholestatic liver disease. Primary biliary cholangitis is a slowly progressive disease characterised by damage of the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a build-up of bile acids which causes further damage. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require a liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. This study will compare a daily dose of elafibranor (the study drug) to a daily dose of placebo (a dummy treatment). The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor is better than placebo in reducing ALP levels to a normal value. High ALP levels in the blood can indicate liver disease. There will be three periods in this study: A screening period (up to 8 weeks) to assess whether the participant can take part; a treatment period (up to 52 weeks) where eligible participants will be grouped as per their blood ALP levels and randomly assigned to either receive elafibranor or placebo, and a follow-up period (4 weeks) where participants' health will be monitored. Participants will be twice as likely to receive elafibranor than placebo (2:1 ratio). Participants will undergo blood sampling, urine collections, physical examinations, clinical evaluations, electrocardiograms (ECG: recording of the electrical activity of heart), ultrasound examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe over skin to look at the bladder, urinary tract, and liver), and Fibroscan® examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe on skin to measure stiffness of the liver). They will also be asked to fill in questionnaires. Each participant will be in this study for up to 64 weeks (15 months).

NCT06309173
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Diagnosis is established by clinical assessment of persons with MS (PwMS), in combination with imaging and body fluid assessments. Treatment decisions in MS are mainly based on periodic monitoring of disease activity and progression through clinical and imaging assessments. The predictive and prognostic value of currently used assessments to individualize treatment decisions is still very limited. Emerging digital measures have the potential to provide granular health status measurements that would allow monitoring MS disease activity and progression continuously and remotely, in real-world settings, with minimal disruption of patients' life. Using the investigators' self developed dreaMS software program the investigators previously identified digital biomarkers (DB) that hold promise to provide detailed and accurate assessments of MS-related health status and disease progression to complement traditional clinical, imaging, or body fluid assessments. This international, observational study aims to evaluate and validate the generalizability of these DB across different languages and cultural settings to provide DB that are helpful for patient care, research, and regulatory decisions. Beyond this, the processes and data structures created for this study are intended to establish a collaborative research platform for subsequent studies, including pragmatic trials, promoting new long-term international academic collaborations.
