Hígado graso no alcohólico, respuesta hepática a la glucosa oral y efecto de la semaglutida (NAFLD HEROES)

Hígado graso no alcohólico, respuesta hepática a la glucosa oral y efecto de la semaglutida (NAFLD HEROES)

¿Está buscando un tratamiento para su condición de hígado graso no alcohólico (NAFLD, por sus siglas en inglés) o para la esteatohepatitis no alcohólica (NASH, por sus siglas en inglés)? Investigadores de los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud, buscan voluntarios para participar en este estudio. Por 30 semanas, los participantes recibirán semaglutide (medicina usada para la diabetes tipo 2), esto podría mejorar su hígado y ayudarle a perder peso. El estudio espera entender mejor el daño del hígado y los mejores tratamientos para las personas con estas condiciones.

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).

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study on patients with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Patients with CHIP have a genetic mutation that has been associated with blood cancer. The study will look at CHIP and try to determine its relationship to blood cancers and heart disease. The study will also try to discover other new organs or diseases that may be linked with.

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Investigation of the Natural Progression of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study on patients with Clonal Cytopenia of Uncertain Significance (CCUS). Patients with CCUS have low blood counts and a normal bone marrow exam but more advanced genetic testing shows the presence of a genetic mutation that is likely causing the low counts. The study will look at CCUS and try to determine its relationship to blood cancers and heart disease. The study will also try to discover other new organs or diseases it may be linked with.

A Proof-of-Concept Trial on the Effect of Ketamine on Fatigue

A Proof-of-Concept Trial on the Effect of Ketamine on Fatigue

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking people who are cancer survivors or have a chronic illness such as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Sjogren's disease, or Lupus to participate in a research study on fatigue. Fatigue is a common side effect of various illnesses. Researchers want to test if a one-time dose of the medication Ketamine or a similar drug can reduce fatigue. This is not a treatment study for fatigue, cancer, ME, CFS, Sjogren's disease, or Lupus. Study procedures and medications are provided at no cost. Travel costs for study visits will be reimbursed in accordance with NIH guidelines.

Treatment of Patients With Cysticercosis With Praziquantel or Albendazole

Are you from Mexico, Central or South America, or India with hydrocephalus, seizures, or an inflammatory condition of the central nervous system without a diagnosis? The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is studying people with cysticercosis and those likely to have cysticercosis. All study related tests and procedures are provided at no cost to you. Travel to and from NIH may be reimbursed.

Viral Load in Blood and Lymph Tissues of HIV-Infected Individuals

Viral Load in Blood and Lymph Tissues of HIV-Infected Individuals

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health are conducting a research study (92-I-0125) to learn more about the immune system and how it responds to HIV infection in blood, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. We are seeking healthy volunteers to have a lymph node biopsy to compare with patients who have HIV.

Study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a research study for patients with lupus. Doctors want to learn more about the disease and are looking for what causes it, how it progresses over time, and the genetic factors that might make a person more likely to develop it. This study is open to any individual, 10 years of age or older, who meets the American College of Rheumatology's criteria for having lupus, which include symptoms and abnormal blood tests.
