Study of the Disease Process of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a destructive lung disease typically affecting women of childbearing age. Currently, there is no effective therapy for the disease and the prognosis is poor. This study is designed to determine the disease processes involved at the level of cells and molecules, in order to develop more effective therapy. Researchers intend to identify the proteins and genes that contribute to the process of lung destruction in affected individuals.

Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety Effects Following Coadministration of Carbamazepine or Itraconazole With Radiprodil in Healthy Adults
This is a Phase 1, open-label, 2-part study to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of oral carbamazepine or oral itraconazole on the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of radiprodil in healthy adult participants. In addition, the safety and tolerability of radiprodil given together with oral carbamazepine or itraconazole will be assessed.

TSC Biosample Repository and Natural History Database
The TSC Biosample Repository collects and stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues that scientists can request to use in their research. The samples we collect are all linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. The TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person's health over his or her lifetime. This data may be collected retrospectively or prospectively.

Web Intervention for Parents of Youth With Genetic Syndromes (WINGS)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted, telehealth functional behavioral therapy (FBTsIDD) specifically focused on promoting appropriate communication and behavioral strategies in individuals with syndromic intellectual and developmental disorders. Participants will be asked to complete virtual study assessments at intake and then on a monthly basis for the duration of 3-6 months. In addition, participants will attend weekly or biweekly virtual intervention visits with a study therapist.

Assessing Changes in Multi-parametric MRI in Patients With Acute Demyelinating Lesions Taking Clemastine Fumarate as a Myelin Repair Therapy
The clinical trial is intended to assess for clinical evidence of Clemastine Fumarate as a myelin repair therapy in patients with acute inflammatory injury-causing demyelination as measured by multi-parametric MRI assessments. No reparative therapies exist for the treatment of acute demyelinating lesions. Clemastine fumarate was identified along with a series of other antimuscarinic medications as a potential remyelinating agent using the micropillar screen (BIMA) developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Following in vivo validation, an FDA IND exemption was granted to investigate clemastine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the context of...

TANDem-2: Closing the Gap to Interventions for TAND
The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a brief behavioral intervention - the "Well-Beans for Caregivers" program, for adult caregivers of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) of any age. The main questions of the study are: 1. Can this innovative, ultra-brief caregiver well-being intervention be delivered feasibly to caregivers via an online modality? 2. How do the caregivers experience the program (acceptability)? 3. Does limited efficacy testing suggest the program has an impact on caregiver's well-being?

Breath Analysis and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Respiratory Diseases
Assessment of cardiovascular disorders using echocardiography and arterial stiffness; comparative noninvasive assessment of volatile organic compound (eVOC) exhale breath patterns in patients with different chronic respiratory diseases with age and gender-matched healthy adults in order to identify a disease-specific exhaled eVOCs profiles and markers of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders.

Early Check: Expanded Screening in Newborns
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible...
