The primary purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BPN14770 after a single oral administration of BPN14770 in participants with mild, moderate, and severe liver impairment compared with control participants with normal hepatic function.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of BPN14770 in participants with severe renal impairment and those with normal renal function.
This is a study investigating how brief online activities can influence mood and attitudes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how asthma influences brain function. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How airway inflammation in asthma affects the brain; and, * Whether airway inflammation in asthma is related to symptoms of depression and anxiety Over the course of 3 visits, participants will: * Complete questionnaires * Complete computer tasks * Undergo allergy skin test and breathing tests * Give two blood samples * Give a sputum sample * Complete brain imaging scans Researchers will compare results between participants with asthma, and participants who do not have asthma.
Background: Shingles is a painful, blistering rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingrix is a vaccine approved to prevent shingles in healthy adults over age 50 and in immunocompromised adults over age 18. Researchers want to learn more about how people with HIV respond to Shingrix. Objective: To learn how Shingrix affects the immune response in people with HIV. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HIV. Healthy people aged 50 years or older are also needed. Design: Participants will have at least 4 clinic visits in 1 year. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. At their first visit, participants will receive Shingrix as a shot in the upper arm. They will have a rectal swab; a cotton swab will be inserted into the rectum and rotated gently to collect bacteria. Participants will receive a second shot of Shingrix 2 months after the first one. They will visit the clinic again 3 and 12 months after the first shot. Participants will receive a 28-day memory tool. They will write down their symptoms between clinic visits. They will have up to 4 phone calls to talk about side effects of the shot. Participants may undergo apheresis: They will lie still while blood is drawn from a needle in one arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be given back through a second needle in their other arm.
This is a pilot study of a digital training task called GAMBIT. This study will be the first to examine potential relationships between GAMBIT task completion and brain circuit flexibility, behavior, and symptoms in participants with PTSD.
The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of inflammation in the brain between different groups of participants using a radioactive tracer called \[18F\]NOS. A radioactive tracer is a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body. This study will see how the tracer is taken up in the brain using an imaging scan called Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Participants will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic scanning of the brain starting at approximately the time of injection of \[18F\]NOS. Participants are required to have a brain MRI performed within 1 year prior to study enrollment, or if the subject has not had a brain MRI that is deemed acceptable for use for this study they will be asked to undergo a research brain MRI after they have consented for this study.
Inflammatory responses in response to alcohol have been identified as contributing to the development of alcoholic hepatitis. The inflammatory response including that to LippoPolySaccharide is known to lead to progression of alcoholic liver disease. In addition to the inflammatory response mitochondrial perturbations exist and redox homeostasis is altered in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. Though this is known there have been very few studies targeting mitochondrial function in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). We plan to collect 50 milliliters of blood from healthy control patients so that we can compare the data to that of patients with alcoholic hepatitis and those who are heavy drinkers without liver disease. In addition to studying mitochondrial function we will investigate cytokine response, as well as fatty acid metabolism, glucose, and insulin measurements
Background: This study follows people who have had, or will soon have, a transplant using stem cells from another person. This is known as an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) can happen after HSCT. cGVHD can cause mouth problems and more serious issues. Researchers want to study changes in the mouth that might indicate cGVHD. Objective: To identify cGVHD in the mouth and better understand the development, treatment, and progress of post-transplant changes in the mouth. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old who will soon undergo HSCT or have had one in the past 3 years Healthy adults at least 18 years old Design: All participants will have a screening visit and baseline visit. They will last 60-90 minutes. Over these two visits, participants will have: Medical and dental history Dental exam. Questions about their eating habits and general health Blood drawn through a needle in the arm Vital signs taken Pictures of their mouth and lips taken Questions about their oral health, including about pain, sensitivity, or dryness Saliva samples taken. Participants will spit into a sterile plastic tube. Swabs taken of the mouth and some of the saliva, plaque, and fluid from the spaces between teeth and gums. Participants may also have: A piece of skin taken (biopsy) from the inner lining of the cheeks A piece of skin taken (biopsy) from the lower lip Dental X-rays Urine pregnancy test Most participants will have at least 7 study visits over 3 years. They will meet with a dentist and repeat baseline tests.
The availability of biological samples from individuals with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), as well as samples from appropriate heavy drinking, yet healthy controls and non-drinking healthy controls, is an essential first step in the translation of basic research advances to the clinic. The purpose of the Clinical Core component of the P50 Northern Ohio Alcohol Center (NOAC) is to provide biological samples (plasma/serum, buffy coats, and urine) from patients with different stages of alcoholic liver disease, as well as healthy control subjects, to members of the NOAC. These samples can then be used to test specific hypotheses related to the presence of specific biomarkers in the serum, functional immune activity in PBMCs and/or genetic polymorphisms that may predict severity of disease, short- and long-term morbidity and mortality and/or responsivity to specific therapeutic interventions commonly used in clinical practice. This study is building on the established biorepositories and the diversity of outstanding clinical expertise at the Cleveland Clinic. This biorepository included clinical samples (plasma, serum, buffy coats, and urine) from patients with different stages of ALD and subjects who are heavy drinkers without ALD, recruited from the Cleveland Clinic alcohol use disorder treatment clinic. This study will be responsible for collecting more data to help build the CCF-ALD biorepository via subject recruitment and communication and specimen collection.
