Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study to understand how the study medicine atirmociclib behaves in the body and how safe it is for people with different levels of liver health. The study is seeking participants who are: * Aged 18 years or older * Have a BMI of 17.5 to 40 kg/m2, and body weight more than 50 kg. * Have normal liver function or have stable mild, moderate, or severe liver disease Participants will receive study medicine by mouth. Blood samples will be collected to see how much of the medicine is in the body over time. This will help understand whether liver disease changes how the medicine is handled. Participants will be in the study for about 9 weeks. Those with normal liver function will stay in the clinic for about 7 days. People with liver disease will stay for about 9 days. After leaving the clinic, people may be contacted for follow-up. This may be done by phone or through a clinic visit.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new study medicine called PF-08103402 in healthy adults (do not have disease) and or in adults with mild-to-moderate asthma. This is the first time the study medicine is being given to people. For Parts A, B, C, D and F, the study is seeking participants who: * Are healthy (do not have disease) males or females who can no longer have children, * Are 18 to 65 years old, * Have a body mass index (BMI) of 16 to 32 kilograms per meter squared and a body weight of more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds). Body mass index is a way to measure body fat by using a person's height and weight For Part A (optional group or cohort 3: Japanese participants only): * A body weight of more than 45 kilograms (100 pounds). * Have 4 biological Japanese grandparents who were born in Japan. For Part E only: * Adults with a documented history of asthma (confirmed by a doctor) for at least 12 months before entering the study. * Have a body mass index (BMI) of 16 to 35 kilograms per meter squared and a total body weight of more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds). The study has six parts: Part A, Part B, Part C, Part D, Part E and Part F. The study medicine will be taken as a suspension or tablet by mouth 1 time a day (except in Parts B and E where it will be taken 1 time a day for 14 days) at the study clinic. The study will help understand: * how the body processes the study medicine in healthy participants (Parts A and B), * how much of the study medicine gets into the bloodstream and if food affects the amount of study medicine in the blood in healthy participants (Part C), * how the study medicine is broken down and leaves the body in healthy participants (Optional Part D), * how the study medicine is processed in adults with mild-to-moderate asthma (Optional Part E), * if taking the study medicine together with another medicine affects how each medicine is processed by the body in healthy participants (Optional Part F). Participants will take part in the study for about 10 weeks (Parts A and F), 12 weeks (Part B), 9 weeks (Parts C and D), and 16 weeks (Part E). During this time, they will have 2 study visits at the study clinic and up to 28 overnight stays (Part A), 18 overnight stays (Parts B and E), 10 overnight stays (Part C), 11 overnight stays (Part D), and 16 overnight stays (Part F). The study team will also call participants 1 time over the phone at the end of the study to assess how they are doing. Study measurements will be taken by body examination, monitoring side effects, blood and urine tests, heart tests (ECG), vital signs (blood pressure and pulse), questionnaires (Parts C and E), stool samples (Part D only), and breathing tests (Part E only).

The purpose of this study is to learn how different forms of the study medicine called PF-08049820 are absorbed and eliminated in healthy adults. The study will assess whether the study medicine is absorbed differently when taken with or without food. It will also assess absorption when the study medicine is taken with another medicine called rabeprazole. Rabeprazole is an FDA approved medicine that reduces stomach acid. The study has two parts. In Part A, participants will take three forms of study medicine, one after the other. They will take each form either with or without food for a total of five doses. Each dose will be separated by a few days. Participants will stay in the clinic for about two weeks. They will receive a telephone follow-up call about a month after the last dose. In Part B, participants will take three forms of study medicine. They will take each one with or without food, and with or without another medicine called rabeprazole. This means they will take a total of six doses of study medicine. Each dose will be separated by a few days. Participants will stay at the clinic for about three weeks, and about a month after their last dose. They will get a follow-up phone call. Part B may or may not be conducted depending on the results from Part A. The study is seeking participants who: 1. Are males or females, 2. Are at least 18 years of age, 3. Have a body mass index (BMI) 16 to 32 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m2). Have a total body weight of more than 50 kilograms (kg) (110 pounds).

The SOLVE-01 trial is a study evaluating four SARS-CoV-2 vaccines as booster injections: two experimental vaccines (CD40.RBDv and CD40.Pan.CoV, both combined with the Hiltonol® adjuvant) and two authorised vaccines (Comirnaty® and NuvaxovidTM). This trial is designed for healthy adults aged 18 to 65 at the time of signing the informed consent form. The main objectives of this trial are: * to evaluate the safety of the two experimental vaccines, * to determine the antibody response induced by the vaccines and its durability. Participants will: * Receive one injection of vaccine and two intradermal skin tests * Come to the hospital 10 visits for medical exams and blood and saliva sample collection * Keep a diary of their symptoms and the treatments taken

The aim of this crossover intervention study is to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in participants at baseline and how these levels change after consuming either a low- or high-dietary fiber diet for three days. This study will involve adults, 18-65 years old, without any gastrointestinal diseases. The primary objectives are to characterize baseline VOC profiles, assess changes in these profiles after a short-term dietary fiber intervention, determine if specific VOC patterns correlate with dietary fiber intake, and identify the time points at which VOC levels peak. This information will help establish the optimal timing for breath sampling and potentially provide insight into how VOC patterns relate to dietary fiber consumption and degradation. The expected outcome is that a high-dietary fiber diet will produce a VOC profile enriched in metabolites associated with fiber fermentation compared to a low-dietary fiber diet, and that these VOCs will be consistent with those identified in vitro during fecal fermentation. Each participant will serve as an internal control, enabling within-subject comparisons of VOC levels at baseline and following the dietary fiber intervention. Participants will receive a whole-food product that is rich in dietary fiber and will consume either a low-fiber diet (10 g/day) or a high-fiber diet (40 g/day) for three days. On the first day of each intervention, participants will also ingest a pH capsule to monitor gastrointestinal pH continuously throughout the three days. After a three-week washout period, participants will cross over to the other intervention arm and undergo another round of gastrointestinal pH monitoring. In addition to the dietary intervention, participants will complete food and health questionnaires to assess habitual fiber intake and dietary habits. Fecal samples will be collected for in vitro fermentation to functionally profile the gut microbiota by assessing fecal VOCs, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and the microbial enzymatic activity and its pH-dependent modulation.

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) strengthens breathing muscles and may improve exercise performance and reduce breathlessness. However, different training methods and devices create controversy in the field. Two main types of RMT exist: inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and respiratory endurance training, like voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea (VIH). While IMT is well-studied, the impact of VIH on breathlessness remains unclear. This study will use the Canadian-developed BreathWayBetter device to examine how 5 weeks of VIH affects breathing discomfort and muscle function. Findings may help personalize RMT for athletes and clinical patients, improving respiratory care and exercise tolerance.

The goal of this study is to see if gentle electrical stimulation can help children with cerebral palsy (CP) walk more easily. This stimulation, called neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), sends small pulses to muscles to help them activate. Researchers will test different ways of using NMES to find out which method works best. Participants will walk on a treadmill at a comfortable speed while NMES is applied to leg muscles. The study will compare different stimulation settings to see which one helps the most.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that frequently leads to walking impairment, balance deficits, fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and an increased risk of falls. Importantly, these problems can already be present in the early stages of the disease and may not be adequately captured by standard clinical walking tests, which primarily assess speed or distance. Such tests are often insufficient to reflect the complexity of real-life walking, which requires continuous adaptation to environmental challenges, and attention to internal and external stimuli. Gait adaptability, the ability to modify walking patterns in response to changing and unpredictable demands such as obstacles or sudden perturbations, is critical for safe mobility and fall prevention. Both proactive (anticipatory) and reactive (feedback-driven) gait adaptations are essential for maintaining balance and functional independence. However, gait adaptability and its underlying neural mechanisms remain insufficiently understood in people with MS. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of gait adaptability in people with MS by evaluating both proactive and reactive gait adaptations using objective gait measurements and cortical activity recordings. The findings may contribute to the development of more sensitive outcome measures and inform targeted rehabilitation strategies that better reflect real-life mobility demands. Primary aims: • To investigate the behavioral measures and neural correlates of reactive and proactive gait adaptability in pwMS compared to HC Secondary aims: * To investigate factors related to gait adaptability * To investigate changes in gait adaptability during prolonged walking conditions

The purpose of this study is to learn about safety in participants taking the study vaccine (mRNA-based vaccine) and the ability of the study vaccine to trigger the body's immune response, targeting the flu virus (influenza virus). This study is seeking healthy participants 18 years of age or older. All participants in this study will receive only 1 dose in their arm, to deliver one of the experimental flu vaccines or one of the approved flu vaccines used for comparison. Participants will take part in this study for about 6 months, and participants will need to visit the study site at least 3 times. A blood sample will be taken at each of the 3 planned study visits and a swab from inside the nose will be taken at the first study visit.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combined treatment using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and expressive writing works to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress in adults. It will also study how safe this treatment is and whether the timing of rTMS changes how well it works. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does this combined treatment lower symptoms of post-traumatic stress? * Does it work better when rTMS is given before or after expressive writing? Researchers will compare three groups to see which approach works best: * rTMS given before expressive writing * rTMS given after expressive writing * Sham stimulation (a look-alike procedure that does not provide real stimulation) Participants will: * Take part in sessions that include expressive writing about emotional experiences * Receive either real rTMS or sham stimulation * Complete questionnaires about post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and mood * Have their heart rate and skin responses measured during the sessions * Be assessed before the study, after the sessions, and one month later This study includes adults aged 18 to 65 who have experienced at least one traumatic or highly stressful event and report symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether statins can protect the heart and brain from the biological stress and inflammatory responses caused by breathing bushfire smoke in healthy adult volunteers aged 18-64 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does short-term statin use (2 days) reduce bushfire smoke-induced changes in heart rate variability, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, inflammation and oxidative stress markers, and cognitive function? 2. Does long-term statin use (≥12 months) reduce bushfire smoke-induced changes in heart rate variability, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, inflammation and oxidative stress markers, and cognitive function? The study includes two streams: Stream 1:short-term statin use (2 days) where participants receive either statin tablets (80mg atorvastatin) or placebo; Stream 2: long-term statin use (≥12 months) where participants include those already taking statins (≥12 months) with statin-naïve individuals. Participants will: * Attend two 3½-hour visits to a Climate Hut, which are approximately 4 weeks apart, where they will spend 2 hours exposed to either filtered air or simulated dilute bushfire smoke (average particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration of 300μg/m\^3) in randomised order; * Have continuous heart monitoring with ECG leads and blood pressure checks every 15 minutes during each visit * Provide urine, saliva, and nose swab samples before and after each exposure, plus follow-up samples the next morning * Complete cognitive tests (reaction time, memory tasks) and postural balance measurements during exposure * Complete questionnaires about anxiety levels, symptoms, diet, and health status * Have blood samples collected and pulse wave velocity measurements (assessing arterial stiffness) immediately after each exposure session.

This study investigates whether respiratory muscle training (RMT) and dietary nitrate supplementation can improve exercise tolerance under simulated moderate altitude conditions. Exposure to reduced oxygen availability at altitude places additional strain on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, which may limit endurance performance. By combining RMT-designed to strengthen the muscles involved in breathing-with nitrate therapy, which enhances nitric oxide availability and vascular function, this study aims to determine whether these interventions independently or synergistically improve oxygen delivery, reduce physiological strain, and enhance exercise performance. The findings will help identify non-pharmacological strategies to improve physical performance and tolerance to hypoxia in both clinical and operational environments.
