The BOND study is being done to find new ways to support mothers and their babies after CHD diagnosis. The BOND study has two parts. One part, HeartGPS, will look at how a new emotional support program may help mothers adjust to their baby's diagnosis during pregnancy and after birth. The second part, Direct Breastfeeding will look at how to support mothers who breastfeed. Both parts will look at how these new support programs may improve the well-being of mothers and the bond between mother and baby.
This is a phase 2, randomized, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the safety, efficacy, and PK of CSL889 IV administration in adults and adolescents with SCD presenting with VOC. All subjects will receive a once daily dose of CSL889 or placebo until VOC resolution or Day 5, whichever comes first.
This study is recruiting pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. The goal of the study is to determine the feasibility of adding cabozantinib to standard MAP (high dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin) chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma with a resectable primary tumor and to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of cabozantinib in combination with MAP versus MAP alone on people with newly diagnosed OST to find out which is better. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue (tiredness). Participants will receive the medications through an IV in their arm and PO. Study participation is expected to last up to 16 months.
This study is testing a drug called silmitasertib to see if it is safe and works well when used with chemotherapy in children and young adults whose solid tumors have come back or didn't respond to treatment. In the first part of the study (Phase I), doctors will check how safe the drug is and what side effects it may cause. They will use a dose that is already recommended for adults and may try a slightly higher dose. Patients will take silmitasertib twice a day for 21 days along with chemotherapy. Doctors will then see if this treatment plan is safe and doable. In the second part (Phase II), the study will focus on two types of cancer: neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma. It will test how well silmitasertib works with chemotherapy for these cancers. The main goal is to see how many patients respond to the treatment. Other goals include seeing how long patients live without their cancer getting worse and how long they live overall. The study will include up to 104 patients across the country, including 2 at MUSC. The main risk is side effects. The most common ones expected are stomach problems, tiredness, low red blood cell count (anemia), and loss of appetite. There is no direct benefit for patients who join this study.
The main reason for this research study is for researchers to evaluate the relationship between congenital heart disease and development. Currently, there is not enough long-term information available to researchers to predict a child's development if they have been diagnosed with Ductal Dependent Pulmonary Blood Flow (DDPBF), a type of congenital heart disease.
Efficacy of the vedolizumab IV and SC formulations has been demonstrated in completed studies of adult subjects with moderately to severely active UC or CD. Clinical trial results are needed to affirm proper dosing, exposure, efficacy and safety for use of vedolizumab in pediatric patients. Subsequent to preliminary positive results from the completed pediatric phase 2, vedolizumab IV is being further evaluated in the phase 3 Studies MLN0002-3024 and MLN0002-3025 (subjects aged 2 to 17 years). Confirmatory positive results from these studies would support submission for registration of vedolizumab IV for pediatric patients. Vedolizumab SC is being evaluated in the proposed study to provide an alternative administration route of vedolizumab for maintenance treatment in the
same pediatric population
The flu is caused by a virus that can sometimes change. This can make the flu resistant to treatment, which means drugs, like baloxavir marboxil, can become less effective for treating the flu (also known as "resistance").
The purpose of this study is to monitor changes in the flu virus before and after study treatment with baloxavir marboxil in children. The resistance of the flu virus to study treatment with baloxavir marboxil will also be monitored.
This study is recruiting pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). RMS is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body. The goal of the study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of giving less chemotherapy drugs to people with very low risk-RMS to find out which is better. Patients will be separated into two groups based on their tumor type: Low Risk and Very Low Risk. Participants in the Low Risk group will receive Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide. Participants in the Low Risk group will receive Vincristine and Dactinomycin. All participants will be tested for genetic differences (called MYOD1 and TP53). If any participant is found to have these genetic differences, they will receive Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue (tiredness). Participants will receive the medications through an IV in their arm. Study participation is expected to last up to one year.
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare, inherited skin condition that makes the skin extremely fragile, causing painful blisters and wounds from even minor friction or injury. There is currently no cure, and because EB is uncommon, doctors still have limited high-quality data to guide the best treatment and long-term care. This study is part of a large North American effort to collect and organize health information from people with EB into a secure database. By tracking how the disease progresses over time, along with symptoms, complications, and treatments, researchers hope to better understand EB and improve care for future patients. Participation involves consenting to share medical record information and optionally completing brief questionnaires during routine clinic visits or by email. No experimental treatments or extra medical procedures are involved. While there is no direct benefit to participants, the knowledge gained may help improve care and support the development of new treatments in the future.
This study is a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled research study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a skin patch treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 1 to 3. The patch delivers a very small amount of peanut protein through the skin and is designed to help the immune system become less sensitive to peanuts over time.
Participation in the study will last approximately 34 weeks. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time.
