Multi-center phase II randomized controlled trial of naive T cell depletion for prevention of chronic graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults. GVH1701

Cancer Pediatrics Healthy Subjects Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This phase II trial studies how well naive T-cell depletion works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults with blood cancers undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted white blood cells from a donor attack the body's normal tissues (called graft versus host disease). Removing a particular type of T cell (naive T cells) from the donor cells before the transplant may stop this from happening.

APEC1621: NCI-COG PEDIATRIC MATCH (MOLECULAR ANALYSIS FOR THERAPY CHOICE)MASTER VERSION CONTROL PROTOCOL

Cancer Pediatrics Lymphoma Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

A randomized trial of low versus moderate exposure busulfan for infants with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving TCR alpha beta +/CD19+ depleted transplantation: A Phase II study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PID…

Pediatrics Immunology Immunodeficiency Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

The study will test if patients receiving transplant using either a low dose busulfan or a medium dose busulfan will have immune recovery of both T and B cells, measured by the ability to respond to immunizations after transplant. The exact regimen depends on the subtype of SCID the patient has. Donors used for transplant must be unrelated or half-matched related (haploidentical) donors, and peripheral blood stem cells must be used. To minimize the chance of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the stem cells will have most, but not all, of the T cells removed, using a newer, experimental approach of a well-established technology. Once the stem cell transplant is completed, patients will be followed for 3 years. Approximately 9-18 months after the transplant, vaccinations will be administered, and a blood test measuring whether your child's body has responded to the vaccine will be collected.

A PHASE 2 STUDY OF THE SAFETY, EFFICACY, AND PHARMACODYNAMICS OF RTA 408 IN THE TREATMENT OF FRIEDREICH’S ATAXIA

Pediatrics Gastroenterology Liver Disease Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects

In this study, researchers are learning more about RTA 408, also known as omaveloxolone, BIIB141, or SKYCLARYS®. The main goal of this study is to learn more about the safety of RTA 408 and how it affects physical effort, movement, coordination, and how participants feel in daily life.

The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are:

* How much physical effort can a participant produce during a cycling test after 12 weeks of treatment?
* How do scores on the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) change after 48 weeks?

Researchers will use the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) to measure how FA affects the nervous system. The mFARS looks at movement ability, balance, coordination, speech, and how well the arms and legs work.

They will also use a cycling test to measure physical effort, along with questionnaires to learn how participants feel and function in daily life.

Safety will also be tested using physical exams, vital sign checks, echocardiograms (ECHO), electrocardiograms (ECG), and blood and urine tests.

The study will be done in 2 main parts, followed by an optional Extension period:

* In Part 1, participants will be randomly assigned to take different doses of RTA 408 or a placebo by mouth once a day for 12 weeks. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine.
* Researchers will compare these doses to decide which one to use in Part 2.
* In Part 2, a different group of participants will take either the chosen dose of RTA 408 (150 mg) or placebo once a day for 48 weeks.
* Participants who complete Part 1 or Part 2 may be able to join an Extension period, where everyone receives RTA 408.
* In the Extension period, participants will continue to receive RTA 408 until the drug becomes commercially available or until they leave the study
* Participants in Part 1 will have up to 9 study visits and 2 phone calls. If they do not move onto the Extension period, they will stay in the study for up to 20 weeks.
* Participants in Part 2 will have up to 10 study visits and 3 phone calls. If they do not move onto the Extension period, they will stay in the study for up to 61 weeks.
* Participants in the Extension period will have 2 visits in the first month, followed by visits every 6 months.

EnVision CF Multicenter Study of Glucose Tolerance in Cystic Fibrosis

Endocrinology Pathology Pediatrics Pulmonology Immunology Diabetes Lung Disease Autoimmune Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes has been identified by the CF community as one of the top ten priorities for CF research. In CF clinical decline due to dysglycemia begins early, prior to diagnosis of diabetes and increases mortality from pulmonary disease. There is presently no way to determine who, of those with dysglycemia, will experience clinical compromise. However, the CF Center in Milan has found that measurable age- and sex-dependent variables on oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) predict β-cell failure-the primary driver of decline in CF. the investigators propose a multi-center trial to develop nomograms of age and sex dependent reference values for OGTT-derived measures including glucose, insulin, c-peptide, and the resultant OGTT-derived estimates of β-cell function, β cell sensitivity to glucose, and oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS) and to determine correlation of these with clinical status (FEV-1, BMI z score, number of pulmonary exacerbations over the past 12 months). In a subset of the cohort the investigators will perform additional studies to determine possible mechanisms driving abnormal β cell function, including the role of lean body mass (as measured by DXA), impact of incretin (GLP-1, GIP) and islet hormones (glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide) on β cell function and the relationship of reactive hypoglycemia and catecholamine responses to β cell function, as well as the relationship of β cell sensitivity to glucose as determined by our model to abnormalities in blood glucose found in a period of free living after the study (determined by continuous glucose monitoring measures (Peak glucose, time spent \>200 mg/dl, standard deviation). the investigators will also develop a biobank of stored samples to allow expansion to the full cohort if warranted and to enable future studies of dysglycemia and diabetes in CF. the investigator's eventual goal is utilization of the nomograms to determine the minimum number of measures to accurately predict risk for clinical decline from dysglycemia in CF.

Cancer Pediatrics Brain and Spinal Cord Cancer Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects

This phase III trial studies iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy in treating younger patients with newly-diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma. Radioactive drugs, such as iobenguane I-131, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Lorlatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy may work better compared to lorlatinib and standard therapy alone in treating younger patients with neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy (vincristine sulfate, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide alternated with vincristine sulfate and irinotecan hydrochloride or vinorelbine) works compared to combination chemotherapy plus temsirolimus in treating patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer that forms in the soft tissues, such as muscle), and has an intermediate chance of coming back after treatment (intermediate risk). Drugs used work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Combination chemotherapy and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy plus temsirolimus is more effective than chemotherapy alone in treating patients with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma.

The effects of stimulant medication on disruptive behavior, choice, and preference in children and adolescents exhibiting disruptive behavior.

Pediatrics Healthy Subjects Pediatric Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The goal of this study is to determine the effects of stimulant medication on disruptive behavior, function, preference and choice; however, it is primarily methodological and will add to current research by establishing an effective evaluation of the impact of stimulant medication on these behaviors. Three behavior assessments for children and adolescents diagnosed with AD/HD who exhibit disruptive behavior will be conducted:

1. Preference assessments will be conducted to determine whether preference for social and nonsocial items and activities differs under medication and non-medication conditions.
2. Functional analyses will be conducted to determine whether stimulant medication has an effect on the frequency and function or purpose of disruptive behavior.
3. Choice assessments will be conducted to evaluate the impact of stimulant medication on impulse control/delay discounting.

This study will be conducted in three phases. For each of the 5 to 10 participants there will be 8 total visits. The first 4 visits will entail a preference assessment, followed by a functional analysis. On visits 1 and 3, the participant will be asked to take his/her stimulant medication as is typically done; however, on visits 2 and 4, the participant will be asked to refrain from taking the medication.

For visits 5-8, participants will continue to participate in preference assessments, but will also be presented with a choice arrangement with work and play. In the choice arrangement, participants will be given four work cards and four play cards that they can organize in any order. Work cards will be associated with a brief academic task and play cards will be associated with a brief play period using high-preferred toys/activities. On visits 5 and 7 the participant will be asked to take his or her stimulant medication as usual, while on visits 6 and 8 the participant will be asked to refrain from taking his or her medication.
