ALX-HPP-501: An Observational,Longitudinal Prospective, Long-term Registry of Patients with Hypophosphatasia
This is a long-term registry is designed to collect data on hypophosphatasia (HPP) to better understand the condition and learn more about the disease, how patients feel about living with HPP and effect of HPP on the patients wellbeing and health. The study will look at participant’s medical records and health questionnaires about the health status of patients. This study collects observational data from clinical care and does not involve any treatment for HPP or administration of medication for HPP.

COG AALL2121: A Phase 2 study of SNDX-5613 in combination with chemotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged infant leukemia
This phase II trial tests the safety and best dose of revumenib when given together with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R). Revumenib is an oral medicine that directly targets the changes that occur in a cell with a KMT2A rearrangement and has been shown to specifically kill these leukemia cells in test tubes and animals. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, prednisone, asparaginase, fludarabine and cytarabine 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. This trial is being done to find out if the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy may help to treat the cancer cells better than either treatment alone.
• Age: Patients must be 1 month to less than 6 years old at the time of study enrollment and must have had initial diagnosis of leukemia less than 2 years old.

PEPN2312; A Phase 1 study of GRN163L (Imetelstat, IND# 170891, NSC# 754228) in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is in second or greater relapse or that is refractory to relapse therapy; myelodysplastic syndrome or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia in first or greater relapse or is refractory to relapse therapy
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent).

The TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes
TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies.
