NCT00383071
This study will determine how best to use a vaccine for generating high levels of antibodies called immune globulins (IVIG) in people, which, in turn, can be collected and used to develop a possible treatment for avian influenza (bird flu). Immune globulins are proteins made by the body that attack the influenza virus. This study will use an experimental bird flu vaccine to stimulate immune globulin production in healthy people. The vaccine is similar to the regular influenza vaccine and has been studied in more than 450 people. This study will use high doses of the vaccine to generate high antibody levels that can be collected for producing the new treatment. Healthy adults between 18 and 60 years of age who weigh at least 110 pounds may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination. Participants are given one of three doses of the vaccine, depending on when they enter the study. The first 25 people enrolled receive a dose of 90 micrograms (mcg). If this dose is well tolerated, the next 25 people receive 120 mcg, and if this dose is also well tolerated, the last 25 people receive 180 mcg. Vaccination consists of either two shots (one in the muscle of each arm) or one shot in the buttock on four occasions. Subjects are vaccinated on four occasions, each 4 weeks apart. On the day of each vaccination, subjects provide a blood sample to evaluate blood counts, chemistries, and antibody levels, and to test for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and antibody against avian flu. For 7 days after each vaccination, subjects keep a diary card to record any symptoms, such as pain, fever, muscle aches, or others. At the end of the 7 days, they are contacted by study staff to report the symptoms. In addition to the vaccinations, subjects undergo apheresis to collect IVIG once their blood test shows moderately high antibody levels. For this procedure, blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein and flows through a catheter (plastic tube) into a machine that separates the blood cells from the antibodies and protein. The antibodies and protein are collected and the rest of the blood is returned to the body. Subjects are asked to undergo at least three apheresis procedures. ...

NCT01369953
Since 2007, the cost of sequencing a diploid human genome has fallen dramatically, from approximately $70 million to $20,000. As affordable sequencing platforms become more widely available, the advancement of biomedical science will draw increasingly on whole genome sequencing research requiring large cohorts of diverse populations. Key policy, ethical and legal implications of these developments will need to be understood in order to promote the efficacy and effectiveness of genomic research going forward. An overall aim of this project is to obtain feedback on the informed consent process from some of the earliest particpants in studies using whole genome sequencing. A more specific goal is to characterize the salient personal and public references accessed by participants around the time of the informed consent process. By highlighting trends in participants views about study participation around the time of the initial informed consent process, we aim to advance the development of an ethically and socially relevant vocabulary with which to negotiate future terms of use for personal sequence data in genomic research. Participants will be asked to complete a one-time, semi-structured telephone interview lasting approximately 45 minutes in the period 2-8 weeks following their initial informed consent session at the NIH. They will be recruited from two NIH protocols employing whole genome sequencing for distinct purposes. They The ClinSeqTM Study is a large-scale medical sequencing project investigating the causal role of genetics in cardiovascular disease enrolling both symptomatic and healthy individuals. The Whole Genome Medical Sequencing for Gene Discovery Study (WGMS) enrolls children and adults for full sequencing with the aim of discovering the genetic etiology of rare conditions.
NCT01954394
Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety of alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) when added to lipid-lowering therapy in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) who had completed EFC12492 (NCT01623115), R727-CL-1112 (NCT01709500), EFC12732 (NCT01617655) and LTS11717 (NCT01507831). Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the long-term efficacy of alirocumab on lipid parameters. * To evaluate the long-term immunogenicity of alirocumab.
NCT00197015
This is a study to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSK Biologicals 2-dose inactivated hepatitis A vaccine when administered with a measles/mumps/rubella vaccine and a varicella (chickenpox) vaccine in children as young as 15 months of age.

NCT01500278
This study is conducted to evaluate the short (12 Weeks) and long term (104 Weeks) efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol compared with Adalimumab both in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that is not responding adequately to MTX.
NCT01142986
This research is being done to evaluate the effectiveness of three different treatment strategies for helping subjects begin and adjust to methadone maintenance treatment at Addiction Treatment Services (ATS). Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: 1) Voucher-Based Stepped Care (VBSC) induction, 2) Low-threshold Stepped Care (LTSC) induction, or 3) Routine Stepped Care (RSC) induction. It is hypothesized that subjects in both the VBSC and LTSC condition will remain in treatment longer than subjects in the RSC condition. In addition, it is hypothesized that VBSC and LTSC subjects will have less drug-positive urine samples and will report less infectious disease risk behaviors than RSC subjects.
NCT02893826

NCT01738386
Background: \- Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early-onset dementia. Alzheimer s disease is the most common. Alzheimer s disease happens most often in the elderly, but FTD typically appears between 40 and 60 years of age. It also has a strong genetic component: Up to 40% of FTD cases are linked to positive family histories. Earlier diagnoses and genetic tests mean that people with FTD will spend more years in earlier stages of disease, aware that they have it. However, few studies have looked at the personal experiences or coping styles of people with FTD. Researchers want to interview people with FTD and their caregivers to understand their experiences with the disease. This information will help create better treatments and therapies for those affected by FTD. Objectives: \- To study the experiences of persons with FTD and their primary caregivers. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with FTD. * Primary caregivers (spouse or partner at least 18 years of age) of individuals who have been diagnosed with FTD. Design: * Before FTD participants are recruited, a pilot study will test the interview questions. This pilot study will be given to people with Alzheimer s disease and their caregivers. It will study how well people with dementia understand the interview questions. * FTD study participants will be recruited through dementia care centers. * All participants will have in-person interviews. These interviews will take up to 1 hour. * Participants with FTD will answer questions about their experience with the disease. They will talk about their mental abilities, challenges, and coping strategies. * Caregivers will answer questions about their experience in caring for someone with FTD. They will talk about their challenges and coping strategies. They will also talk about the person with FTD, and how aware they believe that the person is of the dementia symptoms. * All participants will receive a small gift card as compensation for their time. * No treatment will be provided as part of this study.
