This registry will be part of a global registry, called "GloBE-Reg" with the University of Glasgow (Scotland) and with the University of MInnesota.

The investigational therapy in this study is referred to as Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT). It is prepared by extracting healthy bacteria from the stool of healthy human donors and making it into capsules taken by mouth. The donor stool samples are rigorously tested for harmful bacteria and viruses before processing. There is scientific evidence to suggest that RMT might make immunotherapy more effective. The primary goal of the study is to test if RMT makes durvalumab + tremelimumab treatment with chemotherapy more effective to control lung cancer.

We are conducting this research to try to find a better way of treating Parkinson's disease, specifically postural instability and gait disturbances (PIGD) by looking at certain brain characteristics using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI.) We think we could discover how to make DBS more effective for such things as postural gait instability and other symptoms of PD. Participants will be asked to come to our research location, walk on a treadmill, and have a 3T MRI.

This research is being done to determine whether not taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery is less effective compared to taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) within 90 days after surgery. We will divide study participants randomly (similar to tossing a coin) into two groups; one group not receiving postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and the other group receiving prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively. Both groups will receive the exact same preparation before surgery, care during the day of surgery care, postoperative care, and care after hospital discharge.

A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone (fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.

We are doing this study to check how well semaglutide can help adolescents with excess body weight to lose weight and to maintain weight loss. This study will mainly look at long-term maintenance of weight loss and the long-term safety of semaglutide in children with excess body weight.

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition which affects the kidneys causing them to leak protein from the blood into the urine. Nephrotic syndrome is a disease that can improve (remission) and worsen (relapse) at different times throughout childhood. By collecting health information and laboratory samples, our goal is to learn more about these kidney diseases and find better ways to prevent and treat people with nephrotic syndrome. New knowledge will be shared with researchers and the public.

The main purpose of this study is to check how safe the study drug is and how well your body handles taking it. We will also check if the study drug works to improve your kidney function, if has an impact on your daily life and the amount of the study drug in your blood over a period of time (called pharmacokinetics)

The purpose of this research study is to investigate new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to better detect and monitor osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) before and after treatment. ONFH causes injury to the hip joint that can lead to osteoarthritis (the breaking/wearing down of cartilage & tissues within the joint) and the eventual need for a hip replacement. It can be difficult to detect ONFH early on using current medical imaging techniques, which is when treatments may be the most effective. Furthermore, available treatments are not always effective at preventing the progression (spread or growth) of ONFH. This research may benefit others with ONFH by providing more effective medical imaging tools to detect ONFH earlier and inform treatment decisions to increase the chance of stopping or delaying the progression of ONFH and preventing hip osteoarthritis.

This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

The purpose of CureGN2 is to gather a group of people with glomerular disease to create a source of information and blood and urine samples, so that researchers can easily and effectively study glomerular disease.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether voclosporin, added to standard treatment, is able to reduce activity of lupus nephritis over a study treatment period of 24 weeks, and to determine its safety as well as the best dose for treatment of lupus nephritis in children or adolescents.

Currently, there are no approved treatment options for pediatric subjects with proteinuric kidney conditions. The study will look at the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) trial in children ≥1 to <18 years treated for up to 108 weeks with the drug sparsentan.

The purpose of this study is to learn if removing the donor T cells from the donor product using this new method will be a better way to reduce the risk of GVHD. The benefit of removing these cells with this new method is that they will prevent GVHD without requiring drugs to suppress the immune system. Potentially, the immune system will recover from the transplant faster, which in turn will also lessen the risk of severe infections. As well, the patient will not have the other common undesired side effects of these immunosuppressive drugs.

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective ways to get rid of Staph aureus on body surfaces before surgery. We will determine if the participants can effectively get rid of the bacteria with the simple application of various treatment methods assigned to them. We will study if these methods are useful and cost effective in preventing the infections after surgery.

We are looking at a new drug called 'ziltivekimab' to see if it can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. People will get either ziltivekimab or a placebo (inactive dummy drug). The study drug is an injection given into the fold of the skin on the stomach, thigh or upper arm once every month. People will take the study drug for up to 4 years.

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy (chemo) drug often given after a transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). We are doing this study to see if a lower dose of cyclophosphamide after transplant is as safe and works just as well. This study does not include any new or untested drugs. The drugs and procedures in this study are standard for people who receive a transplant.
