Multi-Arm Multi-Stage Adaptive Platform Trial (APT) for the Acute Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to determine if experimental drug treatment improves recovery after TBI as compared to a control (placebo) group. Changes in recovery will be measured throughout the study. The study drugs listed below are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but are being used "off-label" in this study. This means that the drugs are not currently approved to treat TBI. View More View Less
Understanding Patient Preferences When Deciding on a Voluntary Musculoskeletal Test
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how people make decisions about imaging tests for common musculoskeletal problems (like arthritis, tendon problems, or nerve compression). The study involves adult patients attending a musculoskeletal specialty clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does having a structured conversation about the pros and cons of a test affect how much a person wants to have that test? 2. Does that conversation help people feel more confident and less conflicted about their decision? Researchers will compare patients who have a values-based discussion with a researcher to those who receive brief written information about the test, to see if these approaches affect how people feel about having the test. Participants will: * Read a brief scenario about a proposed diagnostic imaging test (like an X-ray, MRI, CT, or ultrasound). * Either take part in a short structured conversation or read brief information about the test. * Answer a short survey about their thoughts on the test. This study does not involve actual medical testing or affect your clinical care. It is for research purposes only. View More View Less

Kidney Health: Eat Well, Live Well
This two-arm, parallel randomized trial study will assess the efficacy of a 6-month (26 weeks) community-based program in reducing kidney injury (as Urine Albumin to Creatinine ratio, uACR), cardiovascular risk (as Hemoglobin A1C and blood pressure), mental health (as PHQ-8) and diet quality (as fruits and vegetables intake and Healthy Eating Index) in community-dwelling, low-income adults diagnosed with early chronic kidney disease (stages 2 or 3 and not on kidney replacement therapies) compared to educational materials and usual care alone.

A Real-world Long-term Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Olipudase Alfa Therapy in Pediatric Patients Less Than 2 Years of Age With Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD)
US, multicenter, cohort, open label observational study with primary data collection. Ancillary protocol-specified procedures to address the study objectives (eg, assessment of ADA) may be considered outside the standard of care for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), but the study methodology remains non-interventional, as the additional collection of data from participants will not dictate treatment. The total overall study duration will be 5 years. The follow-up period will be a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 3 years. The enrollment period will be up to 4 years, to allow a minimum of 1 year of follow-up for the last participant enrolled. View More View Less
A Study of JZP150 in Adults With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Implantable Long-Acting Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis For MSM
The long-term goal of this project is to better understand factors at the patient and physician level that can be addressed to impact uptake of long-acting, implantable PrEP (LA-PrEP) products in the future and identify the training needs of physicians. This project specifically focuses on men who have sex with men (MSM) seen in primary care settings in Texas. The main objective of this project is to examine perspectives of MSM and physicians in Texas regarding LA-PrEP, including attitudes and barriers to use and implementation by interviewing patients and physicians from the same clinical practices.

Allergic Disease Onset Prevention Study
This is a Phase 1b/2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical efficacy of STMC-103H in neonates and infants at risk for developing allergic disease (Type 1 hypersensitivity). Subjects will be enrolled in a three-part sequential approach. Participants in the safety-run portion of the study (Part A1: 1 year to <6 years of age and A2: 1 month to <12 months of age) will receive 28 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 28 days of follow-up. A Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) will review safety data after all patients in each part complete 28 days of therapy prior to enrolling the next part. After A2, Part B will enroll 224 patients for 336 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 336 days of follow-up. Stool, blood, and optional samples will be collected in Parts A2 and part B. Primary safety endpoints are frequency, type and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), as well as findings on physical exams, vitals, and safety laboratories. The primary efficacy endpoint is incidence of physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis at day 336. View More View Less

Impact of Primary Language on Treatment and Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
A thorough discussion of treatment options to manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including the risks and benefits of each class of medication, can be a complex discussion and time consuming. Having to use a translator adds an additional layer of time and complexity to these discussions as well as potential misunderstanding. Further, in addition to language, cultural differences can also play into treatment acceptance. This study aims to determine the impact of primary language on the selection of treatment for IBD and on disease outcomes. View More View Less

Early Access Program With Arimoclomol in US Patients With NPC
NPC is a rare, relentlessly progressive, neurological disease and associated with serious morbidity and shortened life expectancy. The purpose of this Expanded Access Program is to provide early access to arimoclomol for patients with Niemann-Pick Type C disease who, in the opinion and the clinical judgement of the treating physician, may benefit from treatment with arimoclomol. Participants will receive treatment with arimoclomol until their doctor finds it does not help them anymore, they withdraw, or the study is stopped for any reason. View More View Less
Registry and Biorepository for IBD in Central Texas
This is a prospective, non-interventional registry and biorepository for patients with IBD. Longitudinal follow-up data is collected from both patients and their treating gastroenterologist during routine clinical encounters. The biorepository will consist of prospective collection of blood samples, tissue samples, and fecal samples for research purposes, while the participants are undergoing a clinically-indicated procedure (i.e. venipuncture for routine tests, IV catheter placement, and/or endoscopy). Participants may choose to provide any or all of the aforementioned information and/or samples. View More View Less

Long-term Follow-up Study of Risdiplam in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
A multi-center, longitudinal, prospective, non-comparative study to investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of risdiplam, prescribed based on clinician judgment as per the Evrysdi® U.S. Package Information (USPI) in adult and pediatric participants with SMA. In this study, participants will be followed for approximately 24 months from enrollment or until withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or death. Participants who discontinue risdiplam may still remain in the study if they agree to continue participating in the follow-up assessments. An optional sub-study was planned to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence of remote assessment of motor and bulbar functions in participants with SMA using wearable and smartphone-based biosensors. This substudy was withdrawn upon implementation of protocol version 4. View More View Less
