5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a Phase I/II, open label, single center study to assess the safety and tolerability of EXG34217 in bone marrow failure patients with telomere biology disorders.
The investigators will test the efficacy of our proposed intervention to reduce embodied stress in four racial/ethnic groups (Black, Latinx, Pilipinx, and Pacific Islander) as a preventative intervention for health disparities found in these communities. The intervention is comprised of two phases. The first consists of community nature walks in a pristine redwood forest for six months. This is followed by chosen nature activities with family and/or friends for three months. The investigators will test the ability of these activities in nature to reduce chronic stress that underpins many health disparities using validated biological, behavioral, and sociocultural measures. The use of these measures is in alignment with the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Research Framework, and will increase understanding of individual, interpersonal, community, and social level factors that lead to, and that can eliminate health disparities.
The GEMLIFE Study is a 12-month clinical trial for menopausal women. The purpose of this study is to promote an improved aging process for women in menopause through lifestyle changes. The changes will include a heart healthy diet, structured walking program, and mindfulness-based stress reduction. During the study, the investigators will monitor components of your genetic make-up that will tell us how you are aging. Investigators will also monitor bloodwork for inflammation that can affect medical conditions. Study participants may qualify if you are within 5 years of your last menstrual period and have well controlled medical conditions. There is no cost to participants to enroll in the study- only potential benefits to the participant's health and aging process.
The goal of the research is to provide a first critical test of the novel scientific idea that a combined diet and exercise intervention may ameliorate shortening of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in individuals with histories of successfully treated non-metastatic bladder cancer (BC) or colorectal adenoma (CRA) compared to a diet only intervention.
The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in quality of life , inflammation, stress, telomere length, and mucosal immune function of Hispanic and non-Hispanic caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The caregivers will complete the Stress-Busting Program for Family Caregivers in the language of their choice (English or Spanish).
