1. A Study to Collect Long-Term Data on Pediatric Cutaneous Mastocytosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a registry to collect long-term data on patients with pediatric cutaneous mastocytosis, and develop better knowledge of the timing, symptoms, resolution or progression of the disease, and predictive markers of its severity.

2. A Study to Evaluate Newly-diagnosed Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to identify clinical characteristics and biomarkers predictive of disease outcome, progression, and treatment response in participants with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).

3. Posterior Fossa Decompression with or without Duraplasty for Chiari Type I Malformation with Syringomyelia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether a posterior fossa decompression or a posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty results in better patient outcomes with fewer complications and improved quality of life in those who have Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.

4. A Study to Evaluate Patient Reported Outcome Measures in Children with Eye Conditions

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objectives of this study are:

   • To evaluate patient-reported quality of life and functional vision across the spectrum of pediatric eye conditions;
   • To assess change in patient-reported quality of life and functional vision over time;
   • To compare the impact of different treatments on quality of life and functional vision;
   • To assess change in patient-reported quality of life and functional vision in response to treatment;
   • To determine associations between quality of life / functional vision scores and specific clinical and demographic characteristics.

5. A Study to Evaluate Performance of Coagulation Laboratory Testing in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to generate pediatric-specific reference ranges that take into account patient sex, age, corrected gestational age, ethnicity, etc., and laboratory variables for various coagulation studies.

6. A Study to Identify Late-Occurring Complications in Childhood Cancer Survivors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this trial is to identify cancer survivors who are at increased risk of developing late-occurring complications after undergoing treatment for childhood cancer. A patient's genes may affect the risk of developing complications, such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and second cancer, years after undergoing cancer treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors identify survivors of childhood cancer who are more likely to develop late complications.

7. Reduced Craniospinal Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Younger Patients With Newly Diagnosed WNT-Driven Medulloblastoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase II trial studies how well reduced doses of radiation therapy to the brain and spine (craniospinal) and chemotherapy work in treating patients with newly diagnosed type of brain tumor called WNT)/Wingless (WNT)-driven medulloblastoma. Recent studies using chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been shown to be effective in treating patients with WNT-driven medulloblastoma. However, there is a concern about the late side effects of treatment, such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, or other problems in performing daily activities. Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation from x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide and lomustine, 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 reduced craniospinal radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill tumor cells and may also reduce the late side effects of treatment.

8. Safe Clinics

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assist child health providers to better understand and support pediatric patient clinical care needs related to experiences of interpersonal discrimination.

9. A Study to Create a Registry of Non-Fusion Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of non-fusion surgical treatment of Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

   The Post Approval Study (PAS) is gathering data on the Tether device and it's efficacy and safety.

10. A Study to Evaluate Droperidol Use in the Emergency Department and the Effect on QTc

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to study the length of the QTc interval in patients receiving the standard of care dose of intravenous droperidol for headache or migraine, nausea, pain, and indications other than agitation over 30 minutes.
