Investigational Medication for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC)
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of an investigational medication for PBC in people who are currently taking ursodeoxycholic acid (URSO, UDCA) and have an increased alkaline phosphatase (AP) blood level for at least 6 months.

Hepatitis B in Black/African-Americans and Hispanic Patients
The Division of Digestive Diseases is conducting a clinical study to test an investigational medicine for treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection in Black/African-American and Hispanic patients who never been treated for their hepatitis B infection

ENdoscopic ABlation using Light Energy (ENABLE)
This study seeks to determine if surgical anastomosis of the superficial temporal artery to the middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) combined with best medical therapy can reduce subsequent strokes at two years by 40%. Eligible participants must have internal carotid artery occlusion producing hemispheric symptoms within the previous 120 days and ipsilateral increased oxygen extraction fraction measured by positron emission tomography (PET).

Carotid Occlusion Surgery
This study seeks to determine if surgical anastomosis of the superficial temporal artery to the middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) combined with best medical therapy can reduce subsequent strokes at two years by 40%. Eligible participants must have internal carotid artery occlusion producing hemispheric symptoms within the previous 120 days and ipsilateral increased oxygen extraction fraction measured by positron emission tomography (PET).
