There is evidence that survivors of childhood cancer have a high prevalence of poor sleep, including symptoms of insomnia. Insomnia is highly comorbid and has been associated with impaired cognitive performance, a range of psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disease, and reduced quality of life. However, we still lack knowledge about the direct impact of available internet-based insomnia treatment programs for survivors of childhood cancer experiencing insomnia, in addition to how improving insomnia symptoms impacts neurocognitive function and late health morbidities in this population. Therefore, in this study, we will utilize the resources available in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) to use an accepted, established, efficacious internet-delivered CBTi insomnia treatment program and evaluate the efficacy of this program in adult survivors of childhood cancer. Positive results from this study and our use of an internet-based intervention are likely generalizable and be scalable to the large and geographically diverse population of childhood cancer survivors with chronic health conditions. Primary Objective To examine the efficacy of an eHealth intervention for improving symptoms of insomnia among adult survivors of childhood cancer. Secondary Objectives To examine the impact of an eHealth intervention for insomnia on the clinical severity of insomnia symptoms in adult survivors of childhood cancer. To determine whether treatment of insomnia symptoms will improve neurocognitive function in adult survivors of childhood cancer with both insomnia and neurocognitive impairment. To explore the mediating effects of improved neurocognitive function, emotional distress, and cardiovascular health on the association between insomnia symptoms and quality of life. Read Less

Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term birth. If the opening is tiny, the condition can be self-limiting. If not, medications/surgery are options for treatment. There are two ways to treat patent ductus arteriosus - one is through closure of the opening with an FDA approved device called PICCOLO, the other is through supportive management (medications). No randomized controlled trials have been done previously to see if one of better than the other. Through our PIVOTAL study, the investigators aim to determine is one is indeed better than the other - if it is found that the percutaneous closure with PICCOLO is better, then it would immediately lead to a new standard of care. If not, then the investigators avoid an invasive costly procedure going forward. Read Less

Patient are being asked to provide respiratory and blood samples for a clinical research study because the patients have a virus called the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, that causes the disease known as Covid-19. Investigators do not know a lot about this virus, including all the ways it travels from person to person. Investigators also do not know if a person will get sick or not from the virus after being in close contact with someone who has the virus. Because of this, investigators are performing research on the virus found in respiratory secretions to get more information on how investigators can best detect and treat this new virus in the future. Primary Objective To determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Covid-19 in children. To characterize the clinical risk factors of Covid-19 in children.. Secondary Objectives To characterize the immunological risk factors and serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.- To evaluate the duration of viral shedding in children. To evaluate the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding in children. Exploratory Objective Read Less

This is a multi-center, Phase 1/2 study to determine the Optimal Biologic Dose (OBD) and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary activity of FP 045 when administered orally in young adult/adolescent and pediatric patients with Fanconi anemia. The study will enroll a total of 6 young adult/adolescent patients and a minimum of 8 and up to 12 pediatric patients with mild-moderate bone marrow failure who have not undergone hematopoietic cell transplant. This makes the total patient number between 14-18 total. Dose escalation will occur individually for each patient, within each age group. Each patient will receive each of 3 dose levels of FP 045 (intra-patient dose escalation), beginning with Dose Level 1, followed by Dose Levels 2 and 3. Each dose level will be administered for 28 days prior to escalation to the next higher dose level for that patient. Read Less

This is a prospective cohort study designed to define the impact of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) on young adults with perinatal HIV infection (YAPHIV) as they transition into adulthood. A group of of perinatally exposed but uninfected young adults from a similar sociodemographic background and age distribution will be enrolled for comparison. Read Less

The participants are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because the participant have a lymphoid or myeloid based cancer diagnosis that requires a bone marrow transplant. Primary Objectives To estimate the incidence of severe acute GVHD (saGVHD) using a prophylaxis regimen with no calcineurin inhibitors after day +60 post first allogeneic Human Leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or unrelated donor HCT for hematological malignancies. Secondary objective Determine the cumulative incidence of relapse, NRM, chronic GVHD, and OS in study participants at one year post-transplant. Exploratory objectives To evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles of ruxolitinib, fludarabine, and rATG. To assess immune reconstitution in study participants within the first year post-HCT. Read Less

SMARTT will estimate the incidence of conditions and diagnoses potentially related to in utero exposure to antiretroviral therapy and/or exposure in the first two months of life among children born of HIV-infected mothers. Read Less

Nelli is a video-based non-EEG physiological seizure monitoring system. This study is a blinded comparison of Nelli's identified events to gold-standard video EEG review in at-rest pediatric subjects with suspected motor seizures. Read Less

The NICHD Neonatal Research Network's Follow-Up study is a multi-center cohort in which surviving extremely low birth-weight infants born in participating network centers receive neurodevelopmental, neurosensory and functional assessments at 22-26 months corrected age (Infants born prior to July 1, 2012 were seen at 18-22 months corrected age). Data regarding pregnancy and neonatal outcome are collected prospectively. The goal is to identify potential maternal and neonatal risk factors that may affect infant neurodevelopment. Read Less

The Generic Database (GDB) is a registry of very low birth weight infants born alive in NICHD Neonatal Research Network (NRN) centers. The GDB collects observational baseline data on both mothers and infants, and the therapies used and outcomes of the infants. The information collected is not specific to a disease or treatment (i.e., it is "generic"). Data are analyzed to find associations and trends between baseline information, treatments, and infant outcome, and to develop future NRN trials. Read Less

The primary objective of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of KPI-012 compared to vehicle in participants who have a documented clinical diagnosis of PCED. Read Less

Pediatric Oncologic Recovery Trial After Surgery (PORTS) trial is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, multidisciplinary prospective case-control study of the implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol at five tertiary-care pediatric hospitals in pediatric patients undergoing abdominal or retroperitoneal surgical resections for cancer. A pilot phase will determine characteristics of a successful protocol implementation and an exploratory phase plans to examine adherence, objective patient outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. After completing primary enrollment, this collaborative will continue to enroll patients in the shared data registry and continue to refine the underlying ERAS protocol developed for this project.
