This study enrolls people with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), a rare condition that changes the body’s ability to create key hormones. To replace these important hormones, people who live with CAH need to take constant doses of steroids, which mimic hormones and help the body function. The purpose of this study is to learn about how safe and effective a non-steroid option is to treat CAH. Read More
Eligibility:
Adults ages 18-55
Has a diagnosis of Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplaysia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency
You'll have been on a stable daily dose of steroids (glucocorticoids or mineralocorticoid) before starting the trial.
Please contact the study team for additional eligibility criteria.
This study enrolls healthy adults who will be getting a vaccine. The goal of this study is to learn about immune system cells called macrophages. Macrophages are important immune system cells that form when an infection is in the body. Read More
Eligibility:
Adults ages 20-55.
Generally healthy.
Scheduled to receive a vaccine, like the COVID-19 or flu vaccine (for COVID-19 vaccine, study must be done before and after the first dose of the vaccine).
This study enrolls people with TRK fusion cancer. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effectiveness of the drug VITRAKVI (generic name: larotrectinib) for TRK fusion cancer that has spread from the place where it started to other places in the body. TRK fusion cancer is a term used to describe a variety of common and rare cancers that are caused by a change to the NTRK (Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase) gene called a fusion. VITRAKVI is an approved drug that blocks the action of the NTRK gene fusion. Read More
