Defining the COVID-19 Immunity Denominator in the Mekong: a Cross-Sectional Seroprevalence Study of SARS-CoV-2 in HealthyVolunteers

Background: In early 2020, many people thought Cambodia would have a serious COVID-19 outbreak due to the high number of Chinese travelers going to Cambodia. But as of June 14, 2020, only 128 cases of COVID-19 have been identified in the country. Many of these cases have been from people who had traveled in Europe. Researchers want to do antibody tests on blood from a sampling of people in Phnom Penh to learn the infection risks for people in the greater Phnom Penh area. Objective: To estimate the level of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the blood of people living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Eligibility: Healthy males and females age 18-65 living in Phnom Penh since January 2020. Design: A mobile unit will travel to schools, shopping areas, parks, and pagodas around Phnom Penh. Participants will be screened with questions about their age and where they live. They will have blood taken via fingerstick. About 80 uL of blood will be taken. It will be tested for SARS-CoV-2. This visit will take about 30 minutes. If the test result is positive, participants will be contacted by phone. They will be asked to have a second blood draw. This time, 20 mL of blood will be taken. They can have this visit at their home or in a clinic. This visit will take about 30 minutes. If a participant has an adverse event, the mobile units and at-home units will have the tools needed to aid the participant. If needed, the participant will be sent to a nearby clinic. ...

Energy Expenditure Responses to Different Temperatures

Background: - The way that the body burns calories is known as energy expenditure. Some studies show that when we are cold, we burn more calories to keep our bodies warm. Brown fat is a special kind of fat that can use energy to keep the body warm. Small animals and infants have been known to have brown fat for many years. Recently, it has been suggested that adult humans also have brown fat. If brown fat becomes active (burns calories) in adult humans when exposed to cold, then these people would tend to burn off more calories and might not gain weight easily. Learning more about the relationship between energy expenditure, brown fat, environmental temperature, and body temperature may help explain why some people become obese and other people do not. Objectives: To better understand how the body burns calories when exposed to different temperatures. To study brown fat and how it burns calories in cold temperatures. Eligibility: Healthy men between 18 and 35 or 55 and 75 years of age. Healthy women between 18 and 35 years of age. To control for ethnicity, participants must be non-Hispanic whites or African Americans. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will stay in the Metabolic Unit of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center as inpatients for no more than 14 days. The length of the hospital stay will depend on how participants respond to the different study temperatures. Every afternoon, participants will walk for 30 minutes on a treadmill. All meals will be provided. Participants will stay up to 5 hours per day in a specialized room with different temperature settings. Temperatures will range from about 61 degrees to 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Body temperature, activity, calorie burning, and cold/hot sensations will be monitored. On the study day of the coldest temperature, participants will have an imaging study to look for brown fat activity. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation at the end of the study.

A Trial to Learn How BAY1817080 Moves Into, Through and Out of the Body and How Safe it is in Healthy Chinese Men

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat chronic cough. Before patients with medical conditions can join clinical trials, researchers do trials in healthy participants first to understand how the body acts on the new treatment and learn how safe it is. In this trial, the researchers will study how much of the trial drug, BAY1817080, gets into the blood in a small number of participants. The trial will include about 39 healthy Chinese male who are aged 18 to 45. For this trial participants will be divided in 3 groups. Groups 1 and 2 will take either dose 1 or dose 2 of BAY1817080 or placebo 1 time. Participants of groups 3 will take dose 3 of BAY1817080 or placebo one time at the first day and continue to take dose 3 of BAY1817080 twice a day from day 7 to day 16 of the trial. On day 17 they will take only one dose 3 of BAY1817080. All participants will take BAY1817080 or a placebo as a tablet by mouth. For this trial, the participants in Groups 1 and 2 will stay at the trial site for up to 10 days. The participants in Group 3 will stay at the trial site for up to 26 days. The trial will last up to 4 weeks for the participants in Groups 1 and 2, and 6 weeks for the participants in Group 3. During the trial, the doctors will take blood and urine samples and check the participants blood pressure, pulse rate and electrocardiogram (ECG). The participants will answer questions about how they are feeling to check their general wellbeing.

Study of BIIB091 Modified Release Formulations in Healthy Participants

The primary objectives of this study are: to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of BIIB091 modified release (MR) formulations in healthy participants after single dose administration in the fasted state (Part 1); to determine the PK of a single dose of the selected BIIB091 MR formulation in the fed and fasted state in healthy participants (Part 2); to evaluate the PK of the selected BIIB091 MR formulation in healthy participants after multiple dose administration (Part 3). The secondary objectives of this study are: to determine the relative bioavailability of a single dose of the BIIB091 MR formulations compared to that of the immediate release (IR) drug in capsule (DiC) reference formulation in healthy participants in the fasted state, to assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of BIIB091 when administered as MR formulations in healthy participants in the fasted state (Part 1); to assess the safety and tolerability of single dose of BIIB091 when administered as the selected MR formulation in healthy participants in the fed and fasted states, to determine the relative bioavailability of single dose of the selected BIIB091 MR formulation in healthy participants taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) compared to healthy participants not taking a PPI, in the fasted state, to determine the relative bioavailability of single dose of the selected BIIB091 MR formulation in healthy participants taking a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor compared to healthy participants not taking a CYP3A4 inhibitor, in the fasted state, to assess the safety and tolerability of single dose of BIIB091 when administered as the selected MR formulation in healthy participants taking a PPI in the fasted state, to assess the safety and tolerability of single dose of BIIB091 when administered as the selected MR formulation in healthy participants taking a CYP3A4 inhibitor in the fasted state (Part 2); to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of BIIB091 when administered as the selected MR formulation in healthy participants (Part 3).
