- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Targeting Agonists of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor for Multiple Sclerosis
Testing a medicine to reduce brain and eye tissue loss in people with multiple sclerosis
📍 Johns Hopkins University · Baltimore, MD · +1 more US site · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if the study drug will reduce brain and retinal atrophy by reducing inflammation and subsequently slowing neurodegeneration in people with Multiple Sclerosis. The main outcome for the trial is change in normalized brain parenchymal volume (nBPV), measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Dementia / Alzheimer's
Interleukine-2 (IL-2) Plus Semaglutide in Alzheimer's Disease
Testing a treatment with IL-2 and semaglutide in people with Alzheimer's
📍 Houston Methodist Research Institute · Houston, TX · Get directions →
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Despite major research efforts, effective treatments that slow or stop disease progression remain limited.
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
People With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Ocrelizumab and GLP-1 Agonists
Testing how ocrelizumab and GLP-1 medicines affect disability in multiple sclerosis
📍 Northwestern Memorial Hospital · Chicago, IL · Get directions →
The primary outcome measure is PIRA (progression independent of relapse activity), based primarily on clinical assessment, dichotomized as present or not. For Aim 1, the cohort, patient-derived disability status (PDDS) score, and ambulation score (self-reported) will be the primary endpoints of interest.
- DepressionAnxiety
Pharmaco-Neuroimaging Studies of Approach/Avoidance Behaviors and Post-Mortem Studies: Pharmacological Manipulation
Testing whether a brain drug affects decision-making in depression and anxiety
📍 Mclean Hospital · Belmont, MA · Get directions →
The study will investigate whether a nociceptin receptor antagonist will normalize neural and behavioral processes of approach/avoidance decision-making in unmedicated individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders. More specifically, the study aims to investigate dysregulation within (1) corticostriatal-midbrain circuitry and (2) nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide and the nociceptin receptor (NOPR).
