Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine upon administering GABA orally to a person how it is absorbed, distributed, as well as the drug's pharmacological effects on the body such as glucose levels, serum C-peptide and/or insulin levels (referred to as pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics). We will conduct experiments in normal subjects to address these questions.
Ingestion of 3 ounces of pistachio nuts per day for two weeks before and the day of cycling intensely for 75 kilometers will support substrate utilization during exercise (as determined through metabolomics) and improve performance compared to water only, and attenuate inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction during 24 hours of recovery.
Nutrasorb is a newly developed food product (see www.nutrasorb.com). This study will use the Nutrasorb soy protein product that is matrixed with polyphenols from blueberries and green tea extract, and test for efficacy as a nutritional countermeasure to exercise-induced physiologic stress (i.e., immune dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress) using both traditional and metabolomics-based outcome measures.
To evaluate safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of CDP7657.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of subantimicrobial dose doxycycline (50 mg/d), administered for 12 wk, for patients with active moderate-severe Graves' Orbitopathy (GO).
PRIMAVERA is a Phase IIa clinical trial, with the objective to assess the immunologic response to HPV vaccine in a population of immunocompromised girls. The principal hypothesis is that the immunologic response to tetravalent vaccine in girls who received immunosuppressive treatment is comparable to the immunologic response in girls that are not immunosuppressed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Levamisole plus prednisone can further improve the efficacy，extend the remission duration and reduce the dosage of prednisone for newly diagnosed warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
The long-term goal of the investigators study is to develop a better and safer treatment for, and to potentially cure patients with single or multiple food allergies. The investigators hypothesize that the application of this protocol will allow patients with severe and single or multiple food allergies to be safely and rapidly desensitized.
The Primary Objective of the study is to develop a customized regimen for oral immunotherapy that reflects what the subject is allergic in a clinically significant way (i.e., the offending food allergen is defined as a food allergen with a positive skin test or positive specific IgE and a positive DBPCFC). Therefore, the investigators prefer that both single and multiple food allergy subjects are included in the study.
In this study the investigators are going to evaluate the efficacy pentoxifyline in HTLV-1 patients with neurological diseases: HAM/TSP or neurogenic bladder. In some laboratory experiments the investigators observed that this drug had the capacity to reduce the immune response in HTLV-1 infected cells. Since the exacerbated immune response is know to cause neurological disease in patients with HTLV-1 the investigators hope that pentoxifyline can alleviate symptoms and delay the progress of HAM/TSP in patients.
