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.

MT2021-26: Ruxolitinib for Early Lung Dysfunction after HSCT: a Phase II Study (HSCT)

While hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective therapy, as many as 25% of patients develop problems with their lungs as a result of this treatment. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a type of lung injury after HSCT due to graft versus host disease. BO is commonly diagnosed late in patients, when lung injury is hard to treat and can be irreversible, leading to long-term lung disease or even death. The purpose of this research is to learn more about ruxolitinib as an early treatment for lung injury and BO after HSCT. Patients who are diagnosed with early lung dysfunction will be eligible for this research study.

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Masked, Vehicle-Controlled Phase 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NEXAGON® (Lufepirsen Ophthalmic Gel) in Subjects with Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defects (NEXPEDE-1) (NEXPEDE-1)

The clear layer at the front of the eye that covers the pupil and iris (colored part of the eye) is called the “cornea”. When the cornea is damaged, it normally heals within a few days but it may take up to 2 weeks depending on the size and depth of the defect (wound). Some corneal defects heal much slower than expected. A defect in the cornea that fails to heal within the normal time of 2 weeks despite using the best available medicines and procedures, is known as Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect (or PCED for short). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness (risks and benefits) of of NEXAGON ophthalmic gel for the treatment of PCEDs.

Humanitarian Use Device: Medtronic DBS Therapy for Dystonia (HDE #H020007) (Dystonia IRB)

Humanitarian use devices are medical devices approved by the FDA for the treatment of medical conditions affecting fewer than 4,000 patients per year. The FDA reviewed the safety of the device and determined that the probable health benefits outweigh the risks of injury or illness from its use. Effective treatment of symptoms, however, has not been studied in formal clinical trials. Medtronic DBS Therapy delivers electrical stimulation to areas in the brain to help control symptoms of various movement disorders. You may be a candidate for Medtronic DBS Therapy for Dystonia if you have been diagnosed with chronic, intractable (drug refractory) primary dystonia. You or your third party payer (health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or other) must provide payment for hospital, office and other medical costs related to this therapy.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, and Safety of IV anifrolumab in Pediatric Participants 5 to < 18 Years of Age with Moderate to Severe Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus While on Background Standard of Care Therapy (BLOSSOM)

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, kidneys and central nervous system. "Chronic" means that it can last for a long time. "Autoimmune" means that there is a disorder of the immune system, which, instead of protecting the body from bacteria and viruses, attacks the one’s own tissues. We are doing this study to see if the investigational medication called anifrolumab may have an effect in treating pediatric SLE, to see how well it is tolerated or how safe it is, to measure levels of anifrolumab in the blood and learn more about the disease and associated health problems.

A Phase 1 Pharmacokinetic and Safety Assessment of Oral Letermovir in Infants with Symptomatic Congenital Cytomegalovirus Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of a new medication being studied for babies who are exposed to cytomegalovirus during birth. This is called congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Cytomegalovirus is the leading cause of hearing loss and the leading viral cause of developmental delays in children. If a baby participates in this study, in addition to the study medication, he/she will still receive the current best treatment for cCMV, which is oral Valganciclovir.

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.

Amblyopia Treatment Study (ATS23): A Randomized Trial of Dichoptic Treatment for Amblyopia in Children 4 to 7 Years of Age (ATS23)

Amblyopia (sometimes called 'lazy eye') is reduced vision in one eye caused by abnormal visual development early in life. The weaker (or 'lazy') eye often wanders inward and outward. Amblyopia is the leading cause of reduced vision in children and can lead to blindness if not treated. Treatments for amblyopia are glasses, and if needed, further treatment with part-time patching or penalization with atropine eye drops. Patching or atropine are administered to the stronger eye to force the child to use the weaker (amblyopic) eye. In recent years, an alternative type of therapy has emerged. It is called dichoptic treatment and involves stimulating both eyes simultaneously but with different stimuli. When it was first introduced, it was done in an office-based setting. Home-based technologies utilizing games and movies have been developed and studied to a limited extent in younger children with amblyopia. In this study, we will use a system called Luminopia. It uses a virtual reality headset to view web-based videos in which the contrast of the image seen by the stronger eye is reduced by 15% from that of the weaker eye. Luminopia has been available for use in the U.S. since 2022 and has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of amblyopia in this age group. In a previous large randomized trial, home-based dichoptic movies were shown to be superior to glasses alone but treatment effectiveness compared to patching (the gold standard for treating amblyopia) has not yet been established. If dichoptic therapy using the Luminopia system is confirmed to be at least as effective as patching, it would be an appealing alternative for treating amblyopia in young children, as it shows promise of better adherence and an easier treatment experience for the parent and the child. Children in this study would be randomized 1:1 to either the Patching Group or the Luminopia Group and followed for at least 6 months. Children in the Patching Group will have the option to do the Luminopia treatment after 6 months of patching. They will be followed for an additional 6 months. Thus, their participation will last for a total of 1 year.
