Investigational Varicella Vaccine

The Varicella vaccine is an immunization designed to protect against varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus responsible for chickenpox. Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease that commonly affects children and causes symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and an itchy rash with fluid-filled blisters. While often mild in healthy children, it can lead to serious complications in infants, adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce a protective response against the virus, significantly reducing the risk of infection. In cases where vaccinated individuals do contract chickenpox, the symptoms are typically much milder and of shorter duration.

There are both single-antigen varicella vaccines and combination vaccines (such as MMRV, which also protects against measles, mumps, and rubella). The standard vaccination schedule includes two doses, usually given during early childhood.

In clinical trials, investigational varicella vaccines are studied to evaluate their safety, effectiveness, and potential use in broader populations, such as infants under 12 months of age or those with specific medical conditions.

Major Depressive Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is a common and serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. It can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions, both emotionally and physically. Symptoms may include fatigue, changes in sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of self-harm or suicide. MDD is treatable, often through a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis and support can significantly improve outcomes.

We are seeking volunteers for a clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact us to learn more about eligibility and potential benefits.

Eosinophilic Asthma

Eosinophilic Asthma is a type of asthma that is usually more severe and harder to treat. It happens when the body makes too many eosinophils, a kind of white blood cell that helps fight infections. In this condition, eosinophils build up in the lungs and airways, causing ongoing inflammation, swelling, and breathing problems.

Unlike regular asthma, which is often caused by allergies, eosinophilic asthma may happen without allergy triggers. It usually starts in adults and may not improve with usual asthma medicines like inhalers or steroids.

We are actively recruiting patient volunteers to participate in a groundbreaking study. Medication comes at no cost to you or your insurance. You will be compensated for the time and travel spent on our study.

Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Severe Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic skin condition marked by intense itching, redness, swelling, and thickened skin. It often appears in childhood but can affect people of all ages. In severe cases, the skin may crack, ooze, or become infected due to constant scratching.

Triggers include allergens, irritants, stress, and weather changes. Treatment may involve prescription creams, systemic medications like biologics, and a strict skincare routine. This condition can greatly affect quality of life, both physically and emotionally, often requiring long-term medical care.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful, deep lumps or nodules, often in areas where skin rubs together, like the armpits, groin, and under the breasts. These nodules can break open, leak fluid or pus, and form tunnels under the skin (sinus tracts), leading to scarring. The exact cause is unclear, but it involves inflammation of hair follicles and is often linked to genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors like smoking or obesity.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a long-term condition that happens when the protective cartilage in your knee joint gradually wears away. This cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones, and without it, the bones can rub together, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement. The condition often develops slowly over time and can worsen with age. Factors like previous knee injuries, being overweight, repetitive stress on the knee, or family history can increase the risk. Osteoarthritis of the knee can make it difficult to walk, climb stairs, or do daily activities. While there is no cure, treatments are available to help relieve pain, improve mobility, and maintain your quality of life.
