The International Intestinal Failure Registry (IFR) is an initiative of the Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Association (IRTA) and The Transplantation Society (TTS) and will be managed by these organizations. The primary objective of this project is to create a large international database of children with intestinal failure to characterize their management and outcome and guide the development of best practices and evidence-based management.

This research study aims to learn more about children and adolescents who have a shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection. E. coli is a type of bacteria found in the intestines. Although most types of E. coli are harmless, some produce toxins that can make children sick. This study will assess what type of treatment is best for this infection.

In the United States, nearly 62,000 children and adolescents are bereaved by the death of a sibling each year. Bereaved siblings and parents are at a lifelong risk for negative physical and psychological outcomes, yet little is known about the support and resource needs in the first 6 months following death. The purpose of this study is to determine the best ways to identify bereavement needs and barriers to grief support for parents and children following sibling death and to assess how bereavement needs impact parental distress and child quality of life and grief.

This study is for children between 8 and 17 years of age who have experienced the death of a sibling in the past 24 months. Children must have a parent or primary care giver actively take part in the study with them as a parent-child dyad. Information from this study will be used to help understand how to improve the care and support of parents and siblings that have experienced a loss.

This study will involve taking one or two medications already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of type 2 diabetes to learn more about which diabetes medications are the best for lowering the risk of heart and kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes who are at least 40 years old. Participation includes about 8 study visits over a period of 72 months, which can be performed over the phone remotely or during normal standard of care clinic visits. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

This study explores the best way to teach two-year-old toddlers new verbs, and whether there are differences in what is best between late talkers and typically developing children. In a series of two, one-hour visits, children will watch videos on an eye-tracker, which will capture their face and gaze patterns. This data will be analyzed to see how children are making sense of what they are hearing. In one task, we ask whether it is better for children to hear a new verb before they see the action it denotes, or whether it is better to see the new action before hearing the verb. In the second task, we consider how quickly children are able to make sense of the language they hear, and whether this has any relationship to how they learn new verbs (Task 1). Results will help shape new clinical interventions for late talkers.

The need to advance knowledge and increase access to treatment for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) is a priority for service members and Veterans. PTSD and SUD often co-occur and are two of the most common and debilitating mental health disorders among service members and Veterans. However, few providers are trained in this approach and therefore are not prepared to deliver best practice care to Veterans who need integrated PTSD/SUD treatment.
This project will directly address this critical gap in provider training to improve the care of Veterans with comorbid PTSD/SUD, by providing development and testing of a web-based provider training course for concurrent treatment of PTSD and SUD Using prolonged exposure (COPE).

This study wants to understand how we can better identify children who have experienced or are at risk to experience child maltreatment. We will be interviewing caregivers of children and primary care providers (nurses, pediatricians, social workers) to understand their perspectives on screening for child safety risks in primary care settings. Interviews with providers will also focus on their feedback on a new tool to designed to detect child safety risks within health care settings. Findings will help inform best practice in integrated health care settings.

This is a Phase II research study to determine dosing of non-invasive brain stimulation for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and depression. The brain stimulation treatment used in this study is called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for depression. The goal of the study is to see if brain stimulation can be used for MCI patients to improve memory, thinking, and mood, and what dose of stimulation works best.

The study uses a form of rTMS called intermittent theta burst rTMS (accelerated iTBS). This treatment has not been FDA-approved for MCI patients. This double-blind study requires 11 study visits over the course of six months.

This collaborative study was developed by the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) and supported by the Thoracic Surgery Oncology Group (TSOG). The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify genetic changes in the tumors or blood of patients with early-stage lung cancers using both blood-based and tumor-based testing when cancer is suspected or first diagnosed. In this trial, participants will be asked to provide blood samples at three different time points. They will also be asked for permission for tumor tissue to be sent to the researchers. Tumor tissue will be collected if there is a leftover sample from a participant's surgery. These samples will be sent to the researchers to be analyzed for genetic changes. The researchers hope that in the future, genetic changes can help doctors determine what the best treatment is for patients with early-stage lung cancer.

The purpose of this research is to determine the safety and tolerability, the best dose for future development, as well as antitumor activity of a new antibody drug conjugate (ADC) called MYTX-011. MYTX-011 is a new drug, being studied in humans for the first time for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study team is investigating this drug to help treat lung cancers that are resistant to standard medications. This drug targets a protein called cMET on the cancer cell. MYTX-011 will attach to the cMET and release chemotherapy into the cancer cell.
