Early Clonal Dynamics During Venetoclax Treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Early Clonal Dynamics During Venetoclax Treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

The research study sets out to learn about changes in the genetic makeup of CLL during the early phase of treatment with venetoclax. The initial phase of venetoclax therapy can be medically and logistically challenging. Patients will receive expert medical care at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The Use of 124-I-PET/CT Whole Body and Lesional Dosimetry in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

The Use of 124-I-PET/CT Whole Body and Lesional Dosimetry in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek patients with thyroid cancer that spread outside the thyroid - to the lymph nodes, lungs or bones. The standard treatment in such situation is therapy with radioactive iodine (RAI). In this study, doctors will assess a new imaging tool - 124I PET/CT, which enables evaluation of how much iodine goes into the tumor. The study goal is to compare how much iodine goes into cancer cells after two different methods of stimulation of RAI uptake.

The Physiological Responses and Adaptation of Brown Adipose Tissue to Chronic Treatment with Beta-3-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists

The Physiological Responses and Adaptation of Brown Adipose Tissue to Chronic Treatment with Beta-3-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists

Women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) needed for a research study at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Researchers want to learn more about how a medication may be used to help your body's insulin work better and if this can improve your overall metabolic health.

The Pathological Basis of MRI Signal Changes in Multiple Sclerosis: A Longitudinal In Vivo-to-Postmortem Stud

The Pathological Basis of MRI Signal Changes in Multiple Sclerosis: A Longitudinal In Vivo-to-Postmortem Stud

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that damages the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This leads to increased physical disability over time. The disease is lifelong once it begins. Researchers want to learn more about the stages of multiple sclerosis and follow them until a person's death to understand how the physical and clinical signs of MS relate to its changes over time.

Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation for Severe Aplastic Anemia and Hypo-plastic MDS using CordIn(TM), Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells to Expedite Engraftment and Improve Transplant Outcome

Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation for Severe Aplastic Anemia and Hypo-plastic MDS using CordIn(TM), Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells to Expedite Engraftment and Improve Transplant Outcome

Treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) usually involves a bone marrow transplant. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are testing ways to make transplant using unrelated donor cells from umbilical cord blood safer and more effective. We hope these procedures will reduce post-transplant complications and improve transplant outcomes.
