This study is for people who have essential tremor and will be receiving the Boston Scientific Vercise Genus deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. We are studying the possibility that a kind of deep brain stimulation called "coordinated reset" stimulation (CR-DBS) will be more effective than current DBS treatment for essential tremor. We expect that participants will be in this research study for about 9 to 11 months.

This study will examine the brain activation associated with the transition between movements in Parkinson’s disease, and if these changes are related to the development of problems with moving (like freezing of gait) and thinking. We will look at brain activity associated with the vestibular (inner ear) and cortical (surface of the brain) systems. People with Parkinson’s disease (especially people with freezing of gait) sometimes have difficulty initiating changes in movement types, such as going from standing to walking, turning, or switching between slow and fast repetitive movements. The difficulty in movement transitions may be associated with an overactive vestibular system (inner ear) or cortical system. In each experiment in this study, we expect about 20-25 participants with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait, 20-25 participants with Parkinson’s without freezing of gait, and 20-25 control participants

We are doing this research to collect a wide range of samples, clinical information, and measurements that will be used for future research into ALS and related neurological diseases. Participants will be asked to complete 7 in-person study visits and monthly remote self-assessment activities. Access to a personal device (computer and/or smartphone or tablet) that is connected to the internet is needed to complete the monthly remote activities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant in persons with an inherited metabolic disorder or osteopetrosis and if it is effective in reducing or slowing the symptoms associated with the genetic error. The study uses a chemotherapy conditioning regimen that prepares the body to accept the donor hematopoietic cells.

Currently, there are no approved treatment options for pediatric subjects with proteinuric kidney conditions. The study will look at the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) trial in children ≥1 to <18 years treated for up to 108 weeks with the drug sparsentan.

This study is part of our ongoing program of research to understand how the brain and behavior are impacted by cannabis use. We are particularly interested in whether the use of medical cannabis products in adulthood has impacts on learning skills, other aspects of cognition such as memory, attention, and behavioral control, and whether the brain circuits that control these functions change within four months of treatment initiation. Individuals between the ages of 30 and 75 years will be studied at the start of treatment with the plan to retest participants after four months.

Anxiety and stress are significant problems for cancer survivors. The purpose of this study is to learn what effect a 14-day course of kava can have on anxiety and stress in cancer survivors, and about the side effects of kava for cancer survivors.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients (≤ 30 years old) with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan) has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT)and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).

This study will help to identify challenges and barriers to self-performing anal cancer screening tests, and may identify unique ways to make this form of screening easier, more cost-effective, and more frequently performed. We believe that it has the potential to minimize the frequency of both disease and death from anal cancer among high-risk patient groups.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Cancer Center’s and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

We are conducting this research to try to find a better way of treating Parkinson's disease, specifically postural instability and gait disturbances (PIGD) by looking at certain brain characteristics using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI.) We think we could discover how to make DBS more effective for such things as postural gait instability and other symptoms of PD. Participants will be asked to come to our research location, walk on a treadmill, and have a 3T MRI.

We hope to identify patterns in the brain that may be related to symptoms of PD, such as problems with walking. We are also testing different stimulation settings to see if they might be more effective than the settings that are currently used for treatment. This research may aid in our understanding of PD and how to treat it more effectively with DBS.

We are doing this study to learn about how we can best educate families about things that affect the health of children including eating together and cooking. If you agree to be in this study, you, your child, and your family will be randomly (by chance) put into one of three groups (Group 1, Group 2 or Group 3). Each group will receive a different type of education on childhood health.

The objective of this study is to describe how activation of distinct pathways in and around the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) correlate to changes in sleep outcomes in movement disorders patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting these structures.

Through this research, the study staff hopes to better understand how DBS works and to define the optimal site in the brain for DBS treatment for Parkinson’s Disease. You will be asked to come for one study visit where you will perform some physical and mental tasks while on and temporarily off your medications and DBS treatment. Participation in this research study will take 7-8 hours.

This study is intended to find the safest dose of a new combination of drugs (ALX148 and T-DXd) and to start to determine how effective it is at treating advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study is an addition to the ongoing ISPY study program.

Social determinants of health (SDoH) like housing instability, food insecurity, and financial burden, for example, can negatively affect people dealing with cancer. With new cancer treatments and higher costs for patients, people dealing with cancer may worry more about those issues. The goal of this study is to compare the ways people with cancer are connected to resources addressing specific needs and how those connections help their overall well-being. The research study will take about five months and participants will spend around one hour on research activities (each survey would take less than 15 minutes). The time you spend following up on helpful resources is completely up to participants.
