Senolytics To slOw Progression of Sepsis
Researchers hope that using Fisetin, an antioxidant, will reduce inflammation in the body caused by sepsis, which could help your body and organs have more time to recover. Placebo in this study will be something that looks similar to the study treatment, but does not contain any active drug. Everyone will receive 4 pills, but your group will determine how many of the pills are Fisetin. Researchers will look at the potential effects Fisetin or placebo has on inflammation in the body and how sick participants are at 7 days and 28 days.

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. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.

COG ARST2032: A Prospective Phase 3 Study of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Very Low-risk and Low-risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. This phase III trial aims to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma.
