A US Multi-center, Prospective, Non-interventional, Long-term, Effectiveness and Safety Study of Patients Treated with SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin) (SkybriGHt) (SkybriGHt)

Skytrofa is approved in the U.S. for sale and use in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). This study is being done to find out how safe and useful Skytrofa is for long-term treatment. A child’s care will follow the normal treatment practices at the clinic. There is no new treatment or medicine involved and no additional visits will be performed.

An Open-label, Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Single-dose PR001A in Infants with Type 2 Gaucher Disease

PR001A is designed to deliver a normal GBA1 gene copy into the body to increase the activity of GCase, which is low in Type 2 Gaucher Disease (GD2) patients. The new GBA1 gene will remain a child’s body cells for many years and possibly for the rest of their life. A participant will need one surgery during which the study drug will be given and will stay in the hospital for at least 48 hours following the surgery.

Identification of Prodromal Neurodegeneration in Serotonergic-Induced REM sleep Behavior Disorder

This research is being completed to examine the cells, brain imaging, and speech in individuals with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder who are taking serotonergic medications such as Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine and Sertraline. The purpose of examining these is to try and see if we can predict signs of Dementia with Lewy bodies (a progressive form of dementia with an increase in decline of thinking, reasoning, and other functions). This may benefit others by enabling us to diagnose Dementia with Lewy Bodies sooner rather than later.

A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of Povorcitinib (INCB054707) in Participants With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa

We are studying a new drug, INCB054707, used to treat people who have hidradenitis suppurativa which is a chronic skin condition characterized by lumps or boils in places such as the armpits or groin. The skin lesions develop because of inflammation of the follicle. We are studying two doses of the drug and we will compare the effectiveness and side effects that occur. We will also have a group that receives an inactive medication (placebo). After the first 12 weeks of taking the drug or placebo, all participants will receive the active drug. The study will last for about 62 weeks.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multiple-Center, Efficacy and Safety Study of ZYN002 Administered as a Transdermal Gel to Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome - RECONNECT (RECONNECT)

The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and safe ZYN002, a transdermal gel, is in participants with FXS. The drug product ZYN002 is a pharmaceutically manufactured CBD. It is being developed as a clear gel that can be applied to the skin (called transdermal delivery), to provide consistent, controlled levels of CBD in the blood when it is given twice a day. Participants will be assigned by chance to get one of the following study treatments: Active study drug – ZYN002 or placebo. Assigning study drug by chance is called “randomization,” and it is an important part of testing an experimental study drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to study treatment according to a computer program and will have 1 in 2 chance of receiving the active study drug.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the best dose of FP-045 for Fanconi anemia pediatric and adolescent participants. The study will look at whether the participants have any side effects and if there are any possible changes in something called “biomarkers,” which are blood proteins that will be checked to see if they change when taking FP-045 and that may indicate if FP-045 can delay or prevent disease symptoms. Every participant will receive FP-045.

Building Resilience in Adrenoleukodystrophy with Imaging and Neuropsychology (BRAIN)

This study is about a genetic condition called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The first goal of this study is to understand more about how ALD affects a child’s brain and development in childhood as they take part in medical care and monitoring. This is important to identify the optimal ways to detect and treat manifestations of ALD such as cerebral ALD. The second goal is to learn about how ALD affects caregivers, so that clinicians can offer better support to families in the future. We will also have healthy comparisons to help to learn more about the condition (ALD) being studied, by comparing the information collected to a child without the condition.

Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF (STRONG-CF)

There are currently two main ways of measuring nutrition in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) population: body mass index (BMI) and laboratory values. This study plans to look at more ways to measure nutrition, and body composition, like the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in your body. One of the ways we will measure these items is by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, which is a type of x-ray. This study hopes to provide researchers with more detailed information about nutrition and body composition in adults with CF.

This is an observational study intended to generate preliminary data to understand how lysosomal dysfunction can affect the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles, its content and function. The study entails 2 visits over a 3-month period. On enrollment, participants will be scheduled for the 2 visits, during which fasting blood samples will be collected.

CureGN: Cure Glomerulonephropathy Network Version 2.0

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.

RARE-OB-16: Rare CFTR Mutation Cell Collection Protocol (RARE) (RARE)

We are doing the RARE study to learn more about Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is caused by mutations in a gene that produces a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In people with CF, the CFTR does not function correctly. Medications are being developed to help the CFTR function better, but those medications mostly benefit people with common CFTR mutations. There are more than 1,900 mutations of the CF gene. Some of these mutations are rare and found only in a few people. The goal of this research study is to collect specimens (blood, nasal cells, rectal cells) from people with rare CFTR mutations. Another purpose of this study is to create induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells. “Pluripotent” stem cells are cells that can be changed into almost any cell type of the body (such as lung or intestine). They can be kept alive and stored indefinitely. There are different kinds of pluripotent stem cells. Inducted pluripotent stem cells can be created from many different kinds of specimens (such as blood, nasal cells, rectal cells). This is different from embryonic stem cells, which can only be derived from embryos. The specimens collected during this study and iPS cells created from them will be stored for use in future research to learn more about CF and study the effect of new medications. This could identify new medications that may help people with rare CFTR mutations.

Natural History Study for DNA Repair Disorders

This research is being done to help us better understand the different DNA repair disorders. We will collect data and samples that we will use to develop new therapies and medicine to help treat the disease. We expect that participants will be in this research study for 3 years. Visits will occur every six months and alternate between in-person and remote. Remote visits should be expected to last 1-2 hours, and in-person visits should be expected to last 3-4 hours.
