Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ruxolitinib cream compared to a placebo (vehicle) cream in treating vitiligo in children aged 2 to 12 years. The vehicle cream looks identical to the ruxolitinib cream but contains no active medication. By comparing these two treatments, researchers hope to determine whether ruxolitinib is more effective than the placebo in improving facial and body vitiligo symptoms. This study could provide important insights into new treatment options for young children affected by this condition.

Summary

Cancer caregivers in emerging and young adulthood (ages 18-35) are an underresearched and unsupported group of caregivers, and yet they are not uncommon. To address this critical support gap, the goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a caregiving support intervention specifically tailored for emerging and young adults caring for a parent with cancer. This phase of the study is intended to capture feedback on the intervention via focus groups with emerging and young adult caregivers of a parent with cancer.

Pilot Trial of Written Exposure Therapy Delivered via Telehealth to Adolescents with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Summary

Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a five-session mental health therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research shows that it works as well as longer treatments for PTSD among people over 18, even though it requires fewer sessions than other PTSD therapies. However, WET has not been adapted and tested via telehealth with people aged 12 to 18. Our study aims to see how WET can be adapted to meet the needs of people aged 12 to 18 who have experienced trauma and currently have PTSD symptoms. To adapt WET for this age group, first we will talk with PTSD experts and people aged 12 to 18 to learn what changes might make WET more suitable for young people. We'll also deliver WET via telehealth to five people aged 12 to 18 following the manual as it is written for people over age 18 to see what needs adjusting. In the next part of the study, we will offer the adapted version of WET via telehealth to 20 people aged 12 to 18 in our MUSC integrated pediatric primary care clinic. People aged 12 to 18 will take part in five to seven weekly online therapy sessions and three virtual study visits (before therapy, after therapy, and one month later) to better understand who they are as a person and their current mental health symptoms and diagnoses. Individuals who are 18 can participate without caregiver permission; individuals aged 12 to 17 can only participate with caregiver permission. Our goal is to find the best way to provide effective PTSD treatment for young people that can be delivered in real-world pediatric primary care settings, so that ultimately more people can get the help they need after traumatic experiences.

Characterizing dyadic communication challenges and support needs in young adults caring for a parent with metastatic cancer

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Breast, Cancer/Lung
Summary

Half of cancer caregivers in the US are young adults (YA) (age 18-35) caring for a parent with advanced cancer. This presents communication and quality of life challenges for both the young adult child caregiver and parent with cancer; however, this dyad (e.g., two people together) has not been well studied. We will conduct interviews with young adult child caregivers and parents with cancer to learn more about communication challenges and support needs in this dyad. Dyad members will also complete self-report measures asking about mood, coping, communication and quality of life. Findings will inform the development of an intervention to improve dyadic communication and quality of life.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled (Period 1) and Open-Label (Period 2)Phase 3 Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Tapinarof Cream, 1% in Pediatric Participants Ages 3 Months to < 24 Months with Atopic Dermatitis

Summary

This Phase 3 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of tapinarof cream, 1%, for treating atopic dermatitis (AD) in pediatric participants aged 3 to under 24 months. Previous research, including two Phase 3 pivotal studies and a long-term study, assessed the cream in adults and children as young as 2 years. These studies showed minimal to no systemic exposure in children aged 2 to 17 with extensive AD. The findings support investigating the cream's safety and efficacy in younger participants, specifically infants and toddlers.
