Official Title Disrupted eye gaze perception as a biobehavioral marker of social dysfunction: An RDoC investigation

Purpose

This study seeks to understand social functioning across mental health conditions. Social dysfunction is very common in people with mental health conditions; it can negatively impact employment, independent living, and maintaining meaningful relationships. This research is being done to learn if a person's ability to process visual information (including distinguishing other people's eye gaze direction) is a clue to social functioning regardless of diagnosis. This research will identify clinical and brain characteristics in relation to social functioning.

Could this study be right for you?

Patients:

• Diagnosis of a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder or autism spectrum disorder
• Receiving treatment in a mental health or primary care setting
• Experience difficulty in social functioning

Health Volunteers:

Official Title Preschooler's Language Use and Media (PLUM) Study

Purpose

This study is designed to investigate media’s role in language development during early childhood. The goal of the proposed work is to examine the relation between the quantity of children’s media use and their language development trajectories, as well as how characteristics of media use (i.e., parent-child joint engagement, interactive media features, and educational content) predict growth in language over time. 

Could this study be right for you?

• Children 3 to 3.5 years of age (36 to 42 months).

 

Age Range

36 - 42 months

Official Title Project Limb Rescue: A pilot study evaluating the feasibility of transcutaneous sensors for the detection of cancer-related lymphedema

Purpose

The goal of this study is to use new, adhesive-based sensors (pads that stick on your skin) to detect lymphedema, and to develop a way for patients to check for lymphedema at home.

This study will assist in distinguishing participants with lymphedema in comparison to participants without lymphedema at rest by using a combination of photoplethysmography (PPG) and bioimpedance (BI). Photoplethysmography is an optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in tissue. Bioimpedance evaluates how tissue responds to an externally applied electrical current.

Could this study be right for you?

• History of cancer related lymphedema, cancer in your arm, or the lymph nodes in the arm
• History of cancer therapy with surgery or radiation involving the axillary basin and upper arm that requires compression or pneumatic therapy
• Physically capable of performing a brief bike riding exercise for about seven minutes
• No metal implants
• Willingness to take off shoes and any metal jewelry
• Not currently pregnant
• Not currently incarcerated

 

Age Range

18 - 90 years

Official Title Project Limb Rescue: A pilot study evaluating the feasibility of transcutaneous sensors for the detection of cancer-related lymphedema.

Purpose

The goal of the study is to test the success of using two types of sensors at rest after a bike exercise on volunteers with and without lymphedema, to look for differences in their readings. This part of the study will be testing persons who do not have lymphedema.

 

Could this study be right for you?

• No history of cancer related to lymphedema, cancer in your arm, or the lymph nodes in the arm
• Able to complete a brief biking exercise for about seven minutes
• No metal implants
• Willingness to take off shoes and any metal jewelry
• Not currently pregnant
• Not currently incarcerated
• Your participation will involve completing an online or over the phone screening.

Official Title Decay of HIV-1 Reservoirs in Participants on Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy: The ACTG HIV Reservoirs Cohort (AHRC) Study

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine longitudinal changes in HIV-1 reservoirs among participants with HIV-1 who are either currently receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) or who received ART previously.

Official Title Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Recombinant HIV Envelope Protein VRC-HIVRGP096-00-VP (Trimer 4571) vaccine, in HIV-1 Infected Adults on suppressive ART

Purpose

The goal of this research study is to see if an investigational vaccine called Trimer 4571 is safe and well tolerated. Additionally, researchers will see if it will help the immune system produce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV. bNAbs are a type of antibody that can recognize and block many types of HIV from entering healthy cells. Trimer 4571 is a vaccine designed to stimulate the development of bnAbs against HIV.
