This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Anaplastic Wilms Tumors (DAWT) and Relapsed Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT). The treatment involves cancer fighting medicine called chemotherapy plus radiation therapy and/or surgery. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 10 months and be followed by the treatment team for up to 5 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). This study will compare standard chemotherapy using daunorubicin, cytarabine and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) to chemotherapy using an experimental drug called CPX-351. CPX-351 is made up of daunorubicin and cytarabine. CPX-351 is made in a way that makes the drugs stay in the bone marrow longer and may be more effective. CPX-351 has been shown to be well-tolerated and effective against leukemia in adults and children. Participants can expect to receive treatment on this study for 6 months and followed for up to 10 years.
The Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) is a distributed network-based learning health system (LHS) of care centers, clinicians, researchers and industry representatives partnering with patients who have heart failure and their caregivers with the ultimate aim of achieving health, longevity and quality of life equivalent to the general population. See https://www.actionlearningnetwork.org for more information. The initial focus will be to apply structured quality improvement methods, advanced information technology systems, and sharing of best practices to track and continuously improve health-related outcomes for children with heart failure requiring advanced therapies. In the future, we plan to collaborate with other established registries and learning network (i.e. UNOS, PHTS and Cardiac Networks United) to create an integrated network that improves care throughout all phases of a patient's illness including chronic heart failure, acute decompensated heart failure, ventricular assist device support and transplant.
This study is for patients with recurrent/progressive medulloblastoma, which is a type of childhood brain tumor. Participants in this study will receive intravenous (IV, into the veins) bevacizumab and intrathecal (into the spinal fluid) or intraventricular (into the fluid surrounding the brain) etoposide and cytarabine in combination with five oral (taken by mouth) chemotherapy drugs as a possible treatment for recurrent/progressive medulloblastoma. Total study duration is about 1 year and depending on how well a participant tolerates the medications and the response of the disease, the patient may continue the treatment after the first year.
Babies that are born extremely prematurely are at higher risk of developing chronic (long term) lung disease (CLD) and other complications (problems). The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called mecasermin rinfabate (rhIGF-1/rhIGTBP-3) or OHB-607. The researchers want to find out if OHB-607 can help reduce the risk of chronic lung disease in babies born prematurely and if it can help reduce the risk of other complications.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed metastatic germ cell tumors. This study will compare the standard chemotherapy regimen with an accelerated chemotherapy regimen using the same drugs to see if the accelerated chemotherapy regimen is beneficial but not more toxic than the standard chemotherapy regimen. The accelerated chemotherapy is experimental. Participants can expect to be on study for about 3 months and continue to be followed for up to 5 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus associated Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (EBV-PTLD). The investigational drug in this study is tabelecleucel. Tabelecleucel is a product containing special immune allogeneic cells, called EBV-Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (EBV-CTLs), that are made in the laboratory starting with cells from a healthy person who is immune to EBV. The purpose of this study is to test how well tabelecleucel works to treat EBV-PTLD following SOT in patients who have not responded to rituximab or rituximab plus chemotherapy treatment and to see what side effects happen. Your participation will help us to understand more about tabelecleucel. In the first 12-month period, participants will be asked to come to the clinic for an estimated 11 to 19 study visits and a minimum of 2 scans, depending on the number of cycles of treatment they are given. After treatment is done, participants will enter into the follow-up phase, and will continue to come into the clinic for scheduled check-ups for up to 24 months after the first dose of tabelecleucel was given. Participant information on the status of their disease and any new treatment will be collected for up to an additional 3 years. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to five years total.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). The purpose of this study is to find out if prolonging the treatment and adding a drug called 6-mercaptopurine will be beneficial. Other goals include fining out if these changes will result in fewer patients having relapse of their LCH, and fewer patients having long term disease related problems. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 24 months and will be followed on this study fir at least 5 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Leukemia or Lymphoma. and have been treated on one of the following studies: Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) 9404, 9425, 9426, or Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) ALL Consortium 95-01. The purpose of this study is to look at the heart function of patients selected by change to get DRZ compared to the heart function of patients selected by chance not to get DRZ. In this study, they will also look at gender, age at cancer diagnosis, current age, dose of chemotherapy, and if chest radiation influences the risk of early heard damage. Participants in this clinical trial are expected to come to one clinic visit.
This study will assess the features of children, younger than 12 years old, with moderate to severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, when their condition is not adequately controlled with topical therapies (creams or lotions) or when those therapies are not medically advisable.
This is not a treatment study. You and your child will complete questionnaires describing how their condition effects them. Information related to your child's illness will be collected by reviewing their medical chart and by assessments performed by the study team. Participation in this study will involve at least 12 visits that will take place over a period of 10 years.
The information collected in this study may lead to an improved understanding of your child's illness and may provide healthcare providers with important information for treating atopic dermatitis in the future.
