The purpose of this research study is to determine if an already FDA approved drug called atorvastatin can help adults, age 75 or older, live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive either atorvastatin (study drug) or a matching placebo (a tablet that looks like atorvastatin but does not contain any medicine). Study engagement may last up to five years and involves in clinic and/or remote visits, survey questions, potential blood draws, in addition to memory and physical tests. After the first 1-2 visits performed in clinic or remote, the study team will follow-up via phone on a yearly basis to see how participants are doing. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

Sometimes, it is necessary to re-learn a previously learned movement behavior, for example, a bad posture during the golf drive or while playing the piano. Unlearning or relearning an intensively trained behavior is particularly important if the behavior is hampering recovery, for example, in chronic pain or after a stroke. With this study, we experimentally test the brain mechanisms that control the change of pre-existing stable memories of a motor skill with electroencephalography (EEG). We will then use non-invasive brain stimulation to modulate these brain mechanisms and test if it is possible to change the pre-existing motor memory and the learning of a new motor skill.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational (not FDA approved) drug VIB4920 can be an effective treatment for patients with active Lupus Nephritis (LN).
This study will compare treatment with MMF (mycophenolate mofetil), Prednisone, plus the study medication VIB4920 to treatment with MMF and Prednisone alone.
Participants will have up to 15 scheduled visits that will involve routine monitoring of disease activity, up to two kidney biopsies, and blood and urine specimen collections. Participation in this study will last approximately 1 year and 2 months. Compensation is available for participation.
The primary objective of this study is to determine how bictegravir (BIC) plus lenacapvir (LEN) in two different doses affects an HIV-1 infection in the body compared with current standard treatment regimens. Other objectives are to determine which of these treatments are the most effective for treating HIV-1 infection, the safety and tolerability of these two doses for people with HIV, as well as how long it stays in the body using physical exams, laboratory tests, ECG, blood analysis, and any symptoms or problems experienced during the study.
This study will help determine the safety and effectiveness of BIIB122, compared to placebo (an inactive substance), in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. The use of BIIB122 in this study is investigational. "Investigational" means that the study drug is currently being tested and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other health authorities around the world for treating people with PD. The study is expected to last a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 3 years. You may or may not receive direct medical benefit from participating in this study. Your condition may get better, worse, or stay the same. The information obtained from this study, however, could help other patients with your disease in the future.
1) You will be asked to provide a blood sample; up to two tubes for a total of up to 10mL (less than 2 teaspoons).
2) Samples will be processed and tested on the MeMed BV device.
3) You will be asked about your medical history, medications, and current illness, as well as demographic information (i.e. date of birth) and a contact phone number.
4) If eligible, it will be decided by chance, using a computer, if you will be put into one of two arms: the MeMed BV arm or the control arm. You have an equal chance of being placed in each group. You cannot choose your study group.
a. The MeMed BV arm: your clinician will receive the BV result, this will include a recommendation regarding antibiotic treatment
b. The control arm: your clinician will not receive the MeMed BV results and will treat you according to standard of care.
5) You will be contacted by a member of the study team at 28 (+/- 3) days after the day of consent to complete a short questionnaire regarding your current illness
