Research Trials
OHSU Natural History Study Recruiting Participants
The NBIA Research Group at Oregon Health and Science University is recruiting participants for the PLANready natural history study.
The purpose of this study is to help researchers better understand the natural history of PLAN, meaning how symptoms appear and change over time. By studying individuals with PLAN, the NBIA Research Group at OHSU hope to identify disease markers that can be used in future clinical trials. A disease marker is any symptom or measurement that happens reliably in a disease, changes predictably with disease progression, and becomes “better” with successful treatment. A disease marker could be an MRI finding, a protein level in the blood, or a rating scale to measure symptoms or function. Natural history studies provide data that serve as the foundation for future drug trials.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the study, please contact Allison Gregory at phone: 503-494-4344 or by email at gregorya@ohsu.edu

Retrotope is Recruiting Participants for Natural History Study
Retrotope is currently recruiting participants for a natural history study about Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD). A natural history study is a study that follows a group of people over time who have, or are at risk of developing, a specific medical condition or disease. A natural history study collects health information in order to understand how the medical condition or disease develops and how to treat it. In this study we plan to collect information about INAD through a combination medical records and interviewing patients’ families. The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of INAD and demonstrate how INAD progresses. No treatment will be offered through participation in this study and participation is completely voluntary. Study participants may not benefit directly from partaking in this study, but the information generated from this study could be useful in developing future clinical trials and potential treatments for INAD.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the study, please contact Sarah Endemann at phone: 619-206-5944 or by email at sarah@retrotope.com.
