A Phase 1/2, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacodynamic Activity of Gene Therapy for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia through Administration of an Adeno-associated Virus (AAV) Serotype 5-Based Recombinant Vector Encoding the Human CYP21A2 Gene

Collaborative Solutions for Breaking Up Sedentary Time in Black Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: The Interrupt T2D Study
Black Americans are 60% more likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and 2 times more likely to die from T2D than non-Hispanic White Americans. Recent research has shown that sedentary behavior (such as sitting or lying down) have a significant negative impact on health. We are doing a small study with older people who identify as Black or African American and have T2D to look at ways to reduce sedentary behavior.

COG ACNS1931 - A Phase 3 Study of Selumetinib (NSC# 748727, IND# 77782) or Selumetinib in Combination with Vinblastine for non-NF1, non-TSC Patients with Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Gliomas (LGGs) Lacking BRAFV600E or IDH1 Mutations
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.

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.

Also, we do not know what the best test is to monitor lung function after transplant, especially in children and young adults. The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what is the best method for diagnosing lung problems and following how well the lungs are working. In this study, clinical information, laboratory results and imaging findings will be collected from medical records to assist researchers in learning more about lung complications after bone marrow transplant.
