Building Resilience in Adrenoleukodystrophy with Imaging and Neuropsychology (BRAIN)
This study is about a genetic condition called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The first goal of this study is to understand more about how ALD affects a child’s brain and development in childhood as they take part in medical care and monitoring. This is important to identify the optimal ways to detect and treat manifestations of ALD such as cerebral ALD. The second goal is to learn about how ALD affects caregivers, so that clinicians can offer better support to families in the future. We will also have healthy comparisons to help to learn more about the condition (ALD) being studied, by comparing the information collected to a child without the condition.

MT2023-06: A CLINICAL STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF LERIGLITAZONE IN ADULT MALE SUBJECTS WITH CEREBRAL ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY (CALYX)
This study has 2 parts: a double-blind period and an open-label extension. In the double-blind period of this study, the study medicine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is a treatment that looks and tastes exactly like the study medicine but does not contain any active ingredient. In this study, you will receive leriglitazone or placebo. Whether you receive leriglitazone or placebo will be decided randomly (by chance, like flipping a coin). In this study, 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive leriglitazone and 1 out of every 2 subjects (50%) will receive placebo. To make this study fair, you and the study doctor will not be told which treatment you will receive, this is called “blinding”. In the open-label extension, all subjects will receive leriglitazone.

This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed.
