Electrographic and Neurohormonal Characteristics of Adolescent Nausea during Tilt Table Testing, The ENCHANT Study

Purpose

Researchers are looking for healthy young volunteers in order to understand what happens when someone faints. They want to know about changes in children and teenagers who frequently faint, and compare those who faint to healthy people who do not normally faint.

Researchers want to learn more about what happens to the brain and the stomach when people faint. The electroencephalogram or EEG measures brainwaves. The electrogastrogram or EGG records stomach electrical activity. The goal of this study is to measure how gastric electricity changes during fainting. They will use the EEG to confirm that fainting happened. Researchers will compare results of those who are healthy to patients who faint.

Some individuals with fainting or frequent lightheadedness can have excessive nausea. This is'orthostatic nausea', which means nausea with standing. The purpose of this study is to measure hormones from the blood and electrical changes in the stomach during tilt-table testing in patients and healthy controls. Researchers hope to identify the physiologic changes that lead to orthostatic nausea.

A Placebo-Controlled Multi-Center Phase IIa Dose Finding Study of Ublituximab, a Third-Generation Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody, in Patients with Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis.

Purpose

This study is being done to determine how effective an investigational new drug (Ublituximab) is when given to those who have multiple sclerosis and what side effects may happen. Ublituximab has not yet been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is for use in clinical trials for people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine what dose and effect the study drug, Ublituximab, has on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and those who have MS.

Could this study be right for you?

- Ages 18-55
- Diagnosis of Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
- 2 or more relapses in prior 2 years or 1 relapse in the year prior to screening
- Active disease
- Other eligibility criteria to be discussed during screening

Age Range

18 and up
