Study to Investigate Genetic Causes of Severe Early Childhood Onset Obesity.
NCT01998750
Recruiting
This study aims to investigate genetic causes of early childhood obesity. The investigators will enroll children and adults with severe early onset obesity (BMI \> 99th percentile) diagnosed prior to 6 years of age. The investigators will ask questions about the health and eating behavior of the participants, and perform a brief physical examination. The investigators will collect saliva or blood to perform genetic testing from the participants and invite family members to enroll in the study.

A Phase I Intravesical PPM Therapy for NMIBC
NCT05519241
Recruiting
This clinical trial is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational bladder cancer drug named "PLZ4-coated paclitaxel-loaded nanoscale micelle (PPM)." PPM is tiny particles that contain the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. PLZ4 is a molecule that can possibly guide PPM to specifically target and deliver paclitaxel into and kill bladder cancer cells. In this trial, PPM will be instilled into the bladder cavity to treat bladder cancer that does not invade into the muscle layer of t... Read More

Neuroblastoma Biology Study
NCT01587300
Recruiting
Medical scientists want to find better ways to treat neuroblastoma and to find ways to prevent the tumor from growing back. To do this, they need more information about the characteristics of neuroblastoma cells. Therefore, they want to study samples of neuroblastoma tissues and neuroblastoma and normal cells in the blood and bone marrow that may be related to the growth of neuroblastoma cells. Doctors and other medical scientists also want to find better ways to detect and measure neuroblastoma... Read More

Phase III Presbyopia Correction Using the VIS Opti-K™ System
NCT06487897
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the VIS Opti-K System to enable monovision by providing temporary improvement in near vision through the treatment of the non-dominant eye of low myopic, emmetropic and low hyperopic presbyope subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are determining uncorrected near visual acuity at 40cm in the treated eye and subjective improvement as measured by the patient satisfaction questionnaire.

Oral Ketamine for Treatment of Vaso-Occlusive Pain
NCT05378555
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the feasibility of oral ketamine for the treatment of painful sickle-cell crises in children and adolescents as a supplement to intravenous (IV) opioids. There is a need for improved non-opioid analgesia for patients experiencing sickle-cell crises in the hospital and prehospital setting, as children and adolescents with sickle cell disease who experience sickle-cell crises often have severe pain that is not well controlled by high dose opioids, l...
