1. A Study to Evaluate Biomarker Target Stimulation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand how electrical stimulation of the brain can modulate and suppress interictal epileptiform activity as a step on the path to developing new therapies for epilepsy.

2. A Study of Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Function in Neural Development and Function

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to obtain punch biopsies obtained from individuals with intellectual disability (ID) associated with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency and unaffected related controls (e.g., biological parents and/or siblings), to derive patient-specific reprogrammed cells, characterize reprogrammed cells and differentiated neural tissues by comparing molecular genetics and cellular phenotypes through comprehensive gene expression profiles, proteomic analysis, metabolic measurements, and physical measurements, and determine if changes in neural differentiation and/or function can be ameliorated through correction of DPD deficiency, enzyme replacement therapy, or treatment with other compounds.

    

3. Transforming Healthcare and Outcomes for Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Mankato, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose is to put the information into a very large database, which can then be used to improve patient care and achieve the best health outcomes possible for children with IBD.

4. Excretion of Mast Cell Mediators in Children with Allergic Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to examine the role of mast cell mediators in children with allergic disorders in a two part study. Part 1 of the study will prospectively obtain the values of mast cell mediators, including 2,3 dinor 11β-PGF2α, n-MH, and LTE4 in the urine of a healthy pediatric reference population. Part 2 of the study will prospectively evaluate the urine concentrations of mast cell mediators in a cohort of pediatric allergic disorder patients including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, eczema, urticaria, systemic anaphylaxis, and mast cell disorders, as well as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Comparisons of these values in the disease cohort will be made utilizing the pediatric expected reference intervals established in Part 1. Further analysis will determine if one or several urine mast cell mediators are elevated in a particular allergic disorder.

5. Hearing Genomics

   Rochester, Minn.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:

   1) Develop hypotheses related to how the human genome and genetic variants affect hearing loss in children and adults.

   2) Understand phenotypes of hearing loss on a deeper level by combining and analyzing information from audiometric, genetic, and radiologic data.

   3) Explore genetic variants with an unknown significance to develop an understanding of their potential significance and explore other genes may influence an individual's hearing ability.

6. Cognitive Function After Treatment of Primary CNS Malignancy

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate cognitive function and to determine neurocognitive assessment using a select CogState test battery in patients with primary intracranial malignancies receiving photon- or proton-based cranial irradiation with curative intent.

    

    

7. Study of the Incidence of Electrographic Status Epilepticus and Seizures of PICU Patients at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is:

   1. To determine the incidence of subclinical electrographic seizures and electrographic status epilepticus in children admitted to the PICU for head trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or child abuse at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   2. To determine whether a correlation exists between length of stay, morbidity, and mortality with incidence of subclinical SE and seizures.

8. Resting State Connectivity in Adolescents with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Chronic Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to compare the functional connectivity in adolescent patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) both with and without chronic pain, to those with chronic pain alone, to that of healthy controls; to evaluate whether there is a change in functional connectivity following participation in an intensive rehabilitation-oriented program previously demonstrated to have excellent outcomes with regard to functional recovery and symptom control; and to correlate outcomes using standardized symptom and function rating scales to imaging findings.

9. A Study to Assess Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults with Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, 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. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.

10. Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Who Have Participated in Children's Oncology Group Studies

    Rochester, Minn.

    This clinical trial is studying long-term follow-up in patients who are or have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies. Developing a way to track patients enrolled in Children's Oncology Group studies will help doctors gather long-term follow-up information and may help the study of cancer in the future.
