Summary

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.

A Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of BIIB122 in Participants with Parkinson's Disease

Date Added
March 28th, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00123124
Researcher
Christine Cooper

List of Studies


Keywords
Parkinsons
Summary

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.

Utility and Histologic Effects of the J-Tip Device in Dermatologic Conditions Requiring Local Anesthesia

Date Added
May 2nd, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00107787
Researcher
Lara Wine Lee

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer/Skin, Skin
Summary

This project is a pilot study to determine if use of the J-Tip Needle-Free Injection System, used to administer local anesthesia, has any effects on the appearance of skin samples when viewed under a microscope compared with skin samples that have been injected with local anesthesia using a needle. If use of the J-Tip device for local anesthesia delivery is shown not to alter the microscopic appearance of skin, anesthesia for skin biopsies in the future may potentially be performed without a needle, allowing for less fear and pain.
