Background: Sickle cell disease can often be treated with blood stem cell transplants. But for some people the disease returns. This study will give a second transplant to people whose disease has returned but still have some donor cells in their body. Objective: To cure people s sickle cell disease by giving a second treatment that makes more room in their bone marrow for donor cells. Eligibility: People ages 4 and older with sickle cell disease who had a transplant but the disease returned, and their donor relatives. Donors can be 2 years of age or older. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Recipients will also be screened with heart and breathing tests, x-rays, a bone marrow sample, and teeth and eye exams. They must have a caregiver. Donors will have 7-8 visits. They will take a drug for 5-6 days to prepare them for the donation. For the donation, blood is taken from a vein in the arm or groin. The stem cells are collected. The rest of the blood is returned. This may be repeated. Recipients will get a long IV line in their arm or chest for about 1-2 months. They will take drugs to help their body accept the donor cells. They will get the donor cells and red blood cell transfusions through the line. They will stay in the hospital about 30 days after the transfusion of donor cells. In first 3 months after the infusion, recipients will have many visits. Then they will have visits every 6 months to 1 year for 5 years. During those visits they will repeat some of the screening tests....

A universal challenge in clinical investigation of novel therapeutics is the need for quantitative, objective biomarkers that directly address the mechanisms of disease and provide information relevant to clinically meaningful functional improvement. This has been a particular challenge in rare and slowly progressive diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The investigators hypothesize that urinary N-terminal fragment of titin (NTFT) corresponding to activity level/intensity will define a high-precision, non-invasive biomarker of systemic muscle injury to enable serial measurements of efficacy and safety in the clinical investigation of gene therapy for DMD and other myopathies. This should provide a valuable exploratory, secondary and eventually primary outcome measure of therapeutic efficacy to minimize the enrollment size in informative early phase and pivotal clinical trials.

This clinical trial studies the side effects of image-guidance and online adaptation with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized). Image-guided SBRT is a standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. This treatment uses imaging of the cancer within the body to define and localize the area to be treated with the radiation. Imaging can be obtained using either computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or a combination of the two. Typically, with SBRT, a radiation plan is developed based on the CT or MRI images obtained before treatment begins and adjustments are not made to the plan during treatment. However, anatomy can be different from day-to-day which may cause radiation to be delivered to the normal surrounding structures and possibly more side effects. During image-guided SBRT with online adaptation, the initial radiation plan is designed similarly; however, when the patient presents for radiation, the attending radiation oncologist, a dosimetrist, and a medical physicist "re-optimize" the radiation plan using the current anatomy of the day, meaning the changes in bladder and prostate size/shape are taken into account. The initial plan and the re-optimized plan are then compared, and the plan that has the optimal balance between delivering a tumor killing dose of radiation and minimizing radiation dose to normal surrounding structures is delivered. Image-guidance and online adaptation with SBRT may lower side effects and be a safer way to treat localized prostate adenocarcinoma.

In this study, researchers will learn for the first time about the safety of a study drug called BIIB145 and how the body responds to it. This is a "Phase 1" study. This kind of study is an early step in clinical research where the goal is to focus on the safety of the study drug. Another goal may be to learn how the study drug is processed by the body. BIIB145 was designed to help people with multiple sclerosis (MS). But, before it can be tested in people with MS, it must first be tested in healthy volunteers to learn about its safety and other effects. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of BIIB145 and how it is processed by the body, with or without food. The main questions researchers want to answer are: - How many participants have adverse events and serious adverse events during the study? An adverse event is a health problem that may or may not be caused by the study drug. - How does BIIB145 affect the participants' overall health? Researchers will also learn more about: - How BIIB145 is processed by the body, with or without food. This study will be done as follows: - Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. The screening period will be up to 28 days, after which participants will check into the study research center. - There will be 3 parts to this study. - Part 1: Participants will take a single dose of BIIB145 or a placebo after not eating overnight. A placebo is something that looks like the study drug but does not contain any medicine. A placebo is also given in the same way as the study drug. Participants in Part 1 will be in the study for up to 42 days. - Part 2: This part of the study will have a "crossover" design. This means that all participants in Part 2 will all take BIIB145 twice, once with food and once without food. When taken with food, they will finish a meal about 30 minutes before their dose. Without food, they will not eat overnight before taking their dose. But, the order in which they take BIIB145 with or without food depends on the group to which they are randomly assigned. Participants in Part 2 will be in the study for up to 56 days. - Part 3: Participants will take a dose of BIIB145 or the placebo once a day for 14 days. For each dose, participants will not eat overnight before taking it. Participants in Part 3 will be in the study for up to 56 days. - For Part 1, participants will stay at the study research center for 4 days after screening. There will be 2 other visits to the center to check on participants' health on Day 7 and Day 14. - For Part 2, at 2 different times, participants will stay at the center for a period of 4 days at a time, after screening. There will be a break of about 7 days between stays. There will be 3 other visits to the center to check on their health on Day 7 (of each period) and on Day 14. - For Part 3, participants will stay at the center for 17 days after screening. There will be 2 other visits to the center to check on their health on Day 21 and Day 28.

Researchers are looking for more ways to treat PAH. In PAH, the blood vessels in the lungs become thick and narrow, which makes it harder for blood to flow. This causes high blood pressure in the lungs and overworks the heart. PAH can make it hard to breathe and be active. Some standard (usual) treatments for PAH can treat symptoms of PAH but do not stop PAH from getting worse. Sotatercept is a study medicine designed to treat PAH. It is a targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works on certain proteins that play a role in causing PAH. This is a long-term follow-up (LTFU) study. People who took part in certain other studies testing sotatercept for PAH may be able to join this study. The goal of this study is to learn about the long-term safety of sotatercept and if people tolerate it when taken with standard PAH treatment over a longer period of time.
