Neurofeedback and Neural Plasticity of Self-Processing and Affect Regulation Circuits in Suicide Attempting Adolescents
The purpose of this study is to examine a new, experimental treatment for adolescents at risk for suicide attempts called neurofeedback training. In neurofeedback training, you are trying to control your brain function on purpose. In this study, your child will see their brain activity (displayed like a thermometer). He/she will recall positive memories to try to change the levels of their brain activity shown on the visual thermometer inside a scanner.

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Masked, Vehicle-Controlled Phase 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NEXAGON? (Lufepirsen Ophthalmic Gel) in Subjects with Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defects (NEXPEDE-1) (NEXPEDE-1)
The clear layer at the front of the eye that covers the pupil and iris (colored part of the eye) is called the “cornea”. When the cornea is damaged, it normally heals within a few days but it may take up to 2 weeks depending on the size and depth of the defect (wound). Some corneal defects heal much slower than expected. A defect in the cornea that fails to heal within the normal time of 2 weeks despite using the best available medicines and procedures, is known as Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect (or PCED for short). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness (risks and benefits) of of NEXAGON ophthalmic gel for the treatment of PCEDs.

ANHL2121: Phase 2 Study of Tovorafenib (DAY101) in Relapsed and Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

COG ARST2031: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Vinorelbine, Dactinomycin, and Cyclophosphamide (VINO-AC) Plus Maintenance Chemotherapy with Vinorelbine and Oral Cyclophosphamide (VINO-CPO) vs Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide (VAC) plus VINO-CPO Maintenance in Patients with High Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma (HR-RMS)
his phase III trial compares the safety and effect of adding vinorelbine to vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) for the treatment of patients with high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). High risk refers to cancer that is likely to recur (come back) after treatment or spread to other parts of the body. This study will also examine if adding maintenance therapy after VAC therapy, with or without vinorelbine, will help get rid of the cancer and/or lower the chance that the cancer comes back. Vinorelbine and vincristine are in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. Vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide are chemotherapy medications that work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. This trial may have the potential to eliminate rhabdomyosarcoma for a long time or for the rest of patient's life.

Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.
