APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored collaborative APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network (APOLLO) is charged with prospectively assessing the effects of renal-risk variants (RRVs) in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) on outcomes for kidneys from donors with recent African ancestry and the recipients of their kidneys, after deceased- and living-donor renal transplantation. For the purposes of APOLLO, recent African ancestry is defined as individuals with similar genetic make-up to those currently residing in Africa. APOLLO will also study the impact of APOL1 RRVs on the health of living kidney donors with recent African ancestry.
APOLLO: A Randomized Phase II Double-Blind Study of Olaparib Versus Placebo Following Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Resected Pancreatic Cancer and a Pathogenic BRCA1 BRCA2 or PALB2 Mutation
This phase II trial investigates how well the addition of olaparib following completion of surgery and chemotherapy works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed (resected) and has a pathogenic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy.

Assessing dysarthria severity before and after neurosurgical procedures: A prospective longitudinal study in patients with refractory movement disorders
Subjects undergoing the neurosurgical high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedure as part of their standard of care for Essential Tremor (ET) will perform three sessions of behavioral testing: visit 1 (before), visit 2 (six weeks post-surgery) and visit 3 (six months post-surgery). Each session comprises several tasks that assess voice and speech production. If a patient with ET decides to undergo a second (bilateral) surgery, the research team will approach them to repeat the three visits, for a total of up to six assessment visits for those undergoing both unilateral and bilateral procedures. Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery may also participate in the three visits for each surgery, but may also perform all voice and speech production tasks in stimulation ON/OFF conditions within one session (visit 3) for both unilateral and bilateral conditions as well. Healthy control subjects will complete all voice and speech tasks within one session (visit 1).
