A Research Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cenerimod in Subjects Suffering From Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The goal of this clinical trial is to see how well cenerimod reduces symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematous in adult patients with moderate to severe symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How well cenerimod works on top of the treatment already being administered. - How safe cenerimod is for adult patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Researchers will compare one dose of cenerimod and a placebo to see how well cenerimod works when it is added to the treatment already being administered. In this research study approximately 210 participants will receive cenerimod and approximately 210 participants will receive placebo for 12 months.

A Safety and Efficacy Study of Dazodalibep in Participants With Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) With Moderate-to-Severe Symptom State
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of dazodalibep on patient-reported symptoms of SS in participants with moderate-to-severe symptom state Secondary Objectives: 1. To evaluate the effect of dazodalibep on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in participants with SS. 2. To evaluate the effect of dazodalibep on measures of systemic activity, PROs, and salivary flow in participants with SS 3. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of dazodalibep in participants with SS

A Single Dose of BRTX 100 for Patients With Chronic Lumbar Disc Disease (cLDD)
This is a double-blind, saline-controlled, and randomized study with blinded assessments using a single dose. Subjects that have a current diagnosis of chronic lumbar disc disease and meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled. Chronic lumbar disc disease is defined as back and/or radicular pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history, physical examination, and radiographic measures such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plain film, myelography, discography, or other acceptable means.

Assessing Symptom and Mood Dynamics in Pain Using the Smartphone Application SOMA
This study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or...

Assessment of N-Acetylcysteine as Therapy for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) is an unexplained multisymptom/multisystem disorder for which there are currently no validated treatments. The present exploratory clinical trial aims to advance our understand of the mechanisms of in situ GSH synthesis control through assessment of the response of brain GSH and plasma markers of oxidative stress to different doses of NAC in comparison to placebo, as a potential treatment for ME/CFS that would provide neuroprotection against oxidative stress by restoring cortical GSH reserves. If successful, this exploratory clinical trial would address a significant public health concern by shedding new light onto...

Assessment of Neuroinflammation in Central Inflammatory Disorders Using [F-18]DPA-714.
The primary objective of this study is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET radiopharmaceutical [F-18]DPA-714 in individuals with chronic pain and fatigue suspected to be associated with neuroinflammation. The PET tracer [F-18]DPA-714 binds to the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO, also known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor) in the mitochondria of activated microglia/macrophages and provides a non-invasive measure of neuroinflammation. The primary objective of this study is to determine if pain and fatigue patients have higher levels of neuroinflammation than HC individuals as...

A Study Evaluating the Effects of GLPG3667 Given As Oral Treatment for Up to 24 Weeks in Adults with Dermatomyositis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally administered GLPG3667 once daily for 24 weeks in adult participants with dermatomyositis (DM), followed by an open-label extension (OLE) period until Week 48.
