The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effective use of Stryker's PEEK Customized Implants in patients receiving craniofacial (head and facial) surgery. Other objectives include using a CT scan to assist surgeons with providing a solution to complex and simple reconstruction challenges and reducing them to a single or two-stage procedure, thereby minimizing the overall surgery time and limiting the number of surgeries. Patient questionnaires and health information will be used during the study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the implants. We will be enrolling ages 4 - 75 years old.
Infants and young children are at increased risk for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections because of their maturing immune system and lack of prior exposure to RSV. A genetically stable live-attenuated RSV vaccine (from the US National Institutes of Health) has been shown to be safe and immunogenic in RSV-seronegative children in Phase I studies. A Phase II study is ongoing to evaluate vaccine virus transmissibility to close contacts of study participants (VAD00014 study). Study VAD00004 will be initiated as part of the Phase III development of the RSVt vaccine. The objective of this study is RSVt clinical efficacy, while also further investigating the safety and immunogenicity of the RSVt vaccine in a global context. Vaccine efficacy against lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) and upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) will be assessed separately, which will provide evidence of protection against RSV respiratory disease if efficacy against both LRTD and URTD is demonstrated.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, vehicle-controlled phase to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacerein 1% ointment applied topically once daily for 8 weeks for the treatment of adult and pediatric (age ≥ 6 months) patients with generalized EBS. The duration of study participation is anticipated to be approximately ~16 to 20 weeks per patient consisting of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, a Treatment Period of 8 weeks and a No Treatment Follow-up Period of 8 weeks. Patients that complete this portion of the study will be eligible to participate in an open-label, 24-week extension phase to evaluate the long-term safety of diacerein 1% ointment for the treatment of generalized EBS.
The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the SpO2
accuracy of neonatal, infant, and pediatric Philips SpO2 sensors with the Philips
FAST Pulse Oximetry System. Accuracy will be evaluated against the gold
standard, SaO2 obtained from arterial blood samples and assessed by COOximetry.
Additionally, this study will be used to determine if skin pigmentation impacts
SpO2 accuracy and to identify the occurrence of occult hypoxemia, defined as an
SaO2 <88% with an SpO2 ≥92%, with consideration to skin pigmentation.
This study is being done to learn more about apremilast (AMG 407) in mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in participants (children and adolescents) aged 6 to 17 years. It will see whether it causes any side effects. About 50 people are expected to take part in this study. The duration of the study is approximately 285 days. This includes 3 phases: 35 days of screening phase, 225 days (32 weeks) of treatment phase, and 60 days of observational follow-up phase after the last dose of study drug – this means drug is still being tested to see if it is safe and works.
The study is being conducted in order to assess the long-term safety of rocatinlimab in adult and adolescent subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The study population will include subjects who completed an end of treatment duration visit in a parent study and meet eligibility criteria. Subjects will be randomized to receive a dosage of rocatinlimab based on age and their previous dosage from the parent study. The total duration of participation, including the parent study, will be up to 2.5 to 3 years, with a safety follow-up period after the last dose of investigational product at week 104.
Children spend more time than ever using screens — increasingly on portable digital media devices like tablets and smartphones, but our understanding about how these devices impact health is lagging. This project proposes to uncover how patterns of digital media use are formed and maintained and examine how those patterns predict mental health and cardiovascular health risk over time. The novel forms of media measurement used in this project – including passive mobile sampling, ecological momentary assessment and accelerometry – will allow us to uncover the unique and complex ways in which digital media impacts health behaviors.
The ECHO Cohort is a longitudinal prospective multi-site study aiming to understand how the environment and things that happen early in children's lives - even before they are born - affect their development, health, and well-being. This research program includes many study sites across the United States. ECHO will combine information about 20,000 pregnant participants, more than 50,000 children, and their families. With so many participants from across the country, researchers can answer important childhood health questions.
This is a Phase I (determine the safety of a drug) study that is looking at how long the contrast agent gadoquatrane stays in the plasma (part of blood not including red cells) after a single injection during an MRI in children aged 0-18 years. Gadoquatrane is an investigational drug, which means that it is not approved by the FDA. This study will be assessing the safety of gadoquatrane for up to 8 days following the administration of gadoquatrane at the MRI. Blood samples will be collected three times within the 8 hours following the MRI for analysis of how much gadoquatrane is left in the blood.
This Phase 3 study is designed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab in participants 6 months to <18 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD. Participants who have completed Study KGBI through Week 16 without requiring the use of systemic rescue medication will be eligible to enroll into Study KGBJ. All participants will receive active lebrikizumab treatment during Study KGBJ. The planned duration of treatment for each participant is approximately 52 weeks. All participants will enter a post-treatment safety follow-up period approximately 12 weeks after the last dose of lebrikizumab. This study will include both on-site (in clinic) and remote visits (telephone calls).
