Clinical and Genetic Analysis of Enlarged Vestibular Aqueducts

This study will try to identify and understand the genetic factors that lead to an inner ear malformation called "enlarged vestibular aqueducts", that can be associated with hearing loss. Patients with sensorineural hearing loss with or without inner ear malformations and their parents and siblings may be eligible for this study. Participants and their immediate family members, may undergo some or all of the following tests and procedures: * Medical and family history, including questions about hearing, balance and other ear-related issues, and review of medical records. * Routine physical examination. * Blood draw or buccal swab (brushing inside the cheek to collect cells) - Tissue is collected for DNA analysis to look for changes in genes that may be related to hearing loss. * Hearing tests - The subject listens for tones emitted through a small earphone. * Balance test (VEMP) to see if balance functions of the inner ear are associated with the hearing loss Electrodes will be placed behind your ear and at the base of your neck. From a reclining position, you will be asked to raise your head while clicking sounds are played into your ears. - Ultrasound tests - An inner ear malformation called EVA (enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct) indicates that a genetic disorder called Pendred syndrome may be the cause. Because thyroid abnormalities are also associated with Pendred syndrome, an ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland may be done. * Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans - These tests show the structure of the inner ear. For CT, the subject lies still for a short time while X-ray images are obtained. For MRI, the patient lies on a stretcher that is moved into a cylindrical machine with a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field and radio waves produce images of the inner ear. The radio waves cause loud thumping noises that can be muffled by the use of earplugs.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of mRNA-1647 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Vaccine in Allogenic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) Participants.

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mRNA-1647 compared to placebo to prevent first clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi) in the period following cessation of CMV prophylactic treatment (for example, letermovir) on Day 100 post-HCT through Month 9 post-HCT.

Burden of Cytomegalovirus Reactivation in Pediatric Patients After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This observational retrospective analysis will provide useful information for clinicians and payers, and local guidelines committee members, to improve the understanding of Cytomegalovirus clinical and economic burden and clinical management of pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cells Transplantation in Italy.

Infection Prophylaxis and Management in Treating Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Previously Treated With Donor Stem Cell Transplant

RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.

Letermovir-based Dual Therapy for Treatment of Cytomegalovirus Infections

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of letermovir as part of dual antiviral therapy (in association with valganciclovir) in renal transplant recipients with CMV DNAemia, requiring valganciclovir treatment per investigator's judgment.

A Phase 2a Study of IV BCV in Subjects With Adenovirus Infection

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) brincidofovir (BCV; SyB V-1901) 0.2 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg or 0.4 mg/kg dosed twice weekly (BIW) or 0.4 mg/kg dosed once weekly (QW) for 4 weeks in subjects with AdV, and IV BCV in subjects with CMV
