A Phase 1, Randomized, Observer-blind, Placebo-controlled, Age De-escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of mRNA-1345 and mRNA-1365 in Participants Aged 5 months to <24 months; mRNA-1365-P101

This study is recruiting children ages 5 months to less than 2 years learn about safety and effects of two Moderna study vaccines. The study vaccines are being designed to prevent respiratory tract infections caused by two common viruses, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Human metapneumovirus (hMPV). The child will be randomized to receive one of the two study vaccines or placebo. The placebo will look like the study vaccine but will not have a vaccine in it. The study lasts 24 months and the child will receive 3 injections with other study activities, such as blood draws and nose (nasal) swabs.

Self-Weighing for Weight Management in Adolescents Seeking Obesity Treatment: A Randomized Pilot

This study will test whether adding in daily weighing (5-7 days per week) is helpful in weight loss. In adults, it has been found to be helpful to have individuals who are obese to be more successful with their weight loss efforts if they weigh themselves at home every day. We want to see if this could be helpful in children as well. This research will last for about 12 weeks (3 months).

Lifestyle Counseling and Medication for Adolescent Weight Management (QUEST)

This study will compare the effectiveness and durability of intensive behavioral counseling vs. medical management plus low-intensity behavioral counseling on BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and quality of life in adolescents with severe obesity. We hypothesize that Wegovy (semaglutide) plus low-intensity behavioral counseling will elicit superior reductions in BMI and body fat and greater improvement in cardiometabolic factors and quality of life compared to intensive behavioral counseling at 56 weeks.

This study it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Tirzepatide Once Weekly versus Placebo in Adolescent Participants Who have Obesity, or are Overweight with Weight-Related Comorbidities: A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial

This study is being done to see how safe an investigational drug is and how well it will work to help people with obesity, or overweight with weight-related conditions like hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or diabetes. If you qualify to be in the study, you will be given frequent lifestyle and behavioral counseling for the first 12 weeks of the study. The counseling will consist of advice on physical activities and dietary advice on healthy eating. During the treatment period, you will receive either tirzepatide or placebo. Placebo is a solution that looks like the study drug but has no medicine. The chance that you will get the study drug is 2 in 3. This phase will last about 72 weeks.

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. Another aim of the study it to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to see if their outcomes can be improved.

Increasing HPV vaccination coverage among pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (PAYA) cancer survivors: A multilevel intervention

The purpose of this research is to test the efficacy of different interventions to increase vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers are at increased risk of developing HPV-associated secondary cancers, but have lower HPV vaccination coverage compared to the general population. Interventions which are found to be successful in this study will be incorporated into future survivorship care to improve adherence to recommend preventive healthcare practices. All research procedures will be conducted remotely (e.g. online).

Validation of the Autism Diagnostic Interview: 3rd Edition

The purpose of this research is to find out whether the Autism Diagnostic Interview, 3rd edition (ADI-3) is useful for gathering information to help with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (autism). Parents/caregivers will be asked to complete questionnaires and participate in two separate interviews about your child (the focus participant). We estimate that one interview will take 2-3 hours and the other will take 3-4 hours. Children will be asked to complete questionnaires (if they are able) and an in-person assessment that will take approximately 3-4 hours.

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.
