Software package that facilitates comparison of automated gating methods against manual gating done in flowJo. This package allows you to import basic flowJo workspaces into BioConductor and replicate the gating from flowJo using the flowCore functionality. Gating hierarchies, groups of samples, compensation, and transformation are performed so that the output matches the flowJo analysis.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. This site has a dataset from a multicenter, double-blind, pilot study of CoQ10 and GPI 1485 in subjects with early untreated Parkinson's Disease (PD) or FS-TOO (Futility Study II). There were 65 subjects/treatment arm with 195 total randomized subjects from approximately 42 sites in the US and Canada. A NINDS funded study. Multicenter, double-blind, pilot study of outpatients with early, untreated PD. De novo subjects were equally randomized to one of the three study arms: (1) active CoQ10 and placebo for GPI 1485, (2) active GPI 1485 and placebo for CoQ10 and (3) placebo for CoQ10 and GPI 1485. Subjects remained on blinded study drug for 12 months. The primary comparison of each drug was to historical control data, but a placebo group was included in order to ascertain concurrent control rates. The FS-TOO study was conducted by the NINDS funded Neuroprotection Exploratory Trials in PD (NET-PD).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. This site has a dataset from a multicenter, double-blind, futility study of minocycline and creatine in subjects with early untreated Parkinson's Disease (PD) or FS-I (Futility Study I). There were 65 subjects/treatment arm with 195 total randomized subjects from approximately 42 sites in the US and Canada. A NINDS funded study. A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Futility Study of Minocycline and Creatine in subjects with early untreated Parkinson's Disease (PD) (FS-1).The primary objective of the study was to assess the impact of minocycline and creatine on the progression of PD in order to assess whether it was non-futile to proceed with further study of these agents. The progression of PD was measured by the change in total UPDRS score between the baseline visit and month 12 or the time of sufficient disability to require symptomatic therapy (last visit before subject goes on dopaminergic therapy), whichever occurs first. The additional follow-up of subjects until 18 months addressed the secondary objectives. The FS-1 study was conducted by the NINDS funded Neuroprotection Exploratory Trials in PD (NET-PD).

CISCRP is a resource for information on participation in, understanding of, and resources for clinical research participants and scientists. The mission of the Center is to educate, inform and empower patients, the public, medical and research professionals, the media and policymakers about clinical research participation and what it means to be an active participant in the clinical research process, promote greater awareness and understanding of clinical research participation and the role that it plays in public health, facilitate more effective collaboration among all members of the clinical research enterprise, and provide resources for the research community to better understand the study volunteer. To that end, the Center has developed a broad national awareness and education initiative in order to better inform the public at large about clinical study information. Furthermore, on its website, the Center offers program and event information related to clinical trials, an information center with facts, figures, informational resources, and FAQs for both patients and researchers, and a mailing list of clinical trial information. :The Center also maintains its own search engine website, :<A HREF=http://www.searchclinicaltrials.org TARGET=_blank> :<U>searchclinicaltrials.orgU> :A> :<A HREF=http://www.searchclinicaltrials.org TARGET=_blank> A> :, for those looking for further clinical trial information.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. This site has a dataset from the ELLDOPA study: a multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-ranging, double-blind clinical trial of 361 early, mild Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects, not requiring symptomatic medications with a duration from time of diagnosis less than 2 years. A NINDS funded study. The multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-ranging, double-blind clinical trial, called the Earlier versus Later Levodopa Therapy in Parkinson Disease (ELLDOPA) study was run by the Parkinson Study Group and sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The subjects (n=361) were enrolled between September 1998 and August 2001 at 33 sites in the United States and 5 sites in Canada. Despite the known benefit of levodopa in reducing the symptoms of Parkinsons disease, concern has been expressed that its use might hasten neurodegeneration. This study assessed the effect of levodopa on the rate of progression of Parkinsons disease.The primary analysis assessed the doseresponse relationship between the assigned doses and the worsening of parkinsonism, as indicated by the changes in the total score on the UPDRS between the baseline visit and week 42. Washout of study drug occurred during weeks 40-42.

A database of gene expression in mouse haematopoiesis, integrating 271 individual microarray experiments derived from 15 distinct studies done on most characterized mouse blood cell types. Gene expression information has been discretized to absent/present/unknown calls. It supports gene-centric searches to find out where a gene of interest is expressed, and what other genes follow the same (or a similar) pattern of expression. It also supports cell-centric searches to find out what genes are expressed in specific cell types/studies and not others.
