Women and Infants' Stress and Health

The goal of this study is to understand how babies and their mothers learn to respond to stress during the early years of the baby's life. Participating women complete questionnaires and do a mildly stressful task alone (during pregnancy) or with their babies (at four different times over the first two years of the baby's life) and collect saliva samples that tell us about stress responses, either at home or at one of our lab sites. We aim to use what we learn to better support expecting parents who may be at risk for stress-related health problems and improve their children's resilience to stress throughout life.

Women are asked to participate in six sessions over Zoom and/or at the PACT Center between their 28th week of pregnancy and when their child is 2 years old. During these sessions, which last up to 2 hours each, mothers and babies will1.participate in mildly stressful tasks (like having the mother leave the room for up to 3 minutes and then return) and games to assess the baby’s emotional and cognitive development2.provide saliva samples by drooling into a tube (for the mother) or holding a cotton swab in their baby’s mouth to get it wet3.fill out questionnaires about themselves and their baby4.take part in clinical interviews that ask about mood and other markers of psychological ill-being

Slips of Action in Adolescents and Young Adults

Adolescence is a critical period during which many important healthhttps://irb.psu.edu/IRB/sd/ResourceAdministration/Project/ProjectEditor?Project=com.webridge.entity.Entity[OID[058ACDEB3E43384D816C7E390C2B83F6]]&Mode=smartform&WizardPageOID=com.webridge.entity.Entity[OID[E4552FC57E491543A6B7FD8268E23FD7]] habits form in humans. However, animal models provide mixed information about habit formation across development and there are relatively few human studies that address differences between habit formation in adolescents and adults. To address this gap, the proposed study will assess differences in habit formation in adolescents and adults as measured by the "Slips of Action" task, which seeks to discriminate between habitual and goal-directed learning of visual stimuli pairings.

There will be one in-person visit lasting about one hour. Visits will begin with informed consent. Participants will complete a computer task where they are asked to learn associations between pictures and then will be tested on the associated pairings. They will also complete questionnaires and cognitive tasks.

SELVA: A Multicenter, Phase 3 Baseline-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of PTX-022 in the Treatment of Microcystic Lymphatic Malformations

Microcystic lymphatic malformations (mLMs) are masses of spongy tissue that may have small fluid-filled cysts. They are made of abnormally large or misshapen lymph vessels that do not work correctly. They are usually present at birth and get worse over time. Complications of mLMs include infection, bleeding, leaking of lymphatic fluid, disfigurement, and impaired mobility. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine, sirolimus 3.9% topical gel, can help with the treatment of mLMs.

Total duration of the study is approximately 14 months, with up to 8 visits (approximately 1 visit per month). 5 visits will occur in person and 3 visits will be phone call visits. You will also complete 2 interviews. After the first 14 months, you will have phone call visits every 84 days until either the study is discontinued, or you decide to no longer participate. Procedures involved in the study include: medical history collection, physical exams, skin assessments, patient interviews, photographs, blood draws (at 3 visits), urine tests, and questionnaires.

PARPAML: A Phase 1 Protocol for Relapsed Pediatric AML to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of the PARP Inhibitor Talazoparib in Combination with Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, study treatment with talazoparib in combination with the chemotherapy drugs topotecan and gemcitabine has on pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or has not responded to treatment. The study drug talazoparib has been chosen because there is evidence that is can reduce tumor activity in a more specific way than chemotherapy.

If you join the study, you will given a certain dose of the study drug talazoparib, and of the chemotherapy drugs topotecan and gemcitabine. You may be asked to provide biological samples (such as blood or bone marrow) and undergo procedures that might be different from a regular medical examination. This study will involve screening, treatment, and follow up period. During screening, the study doctor will determine whether you are eligible for the study. If you are eligible and are enrolled into the study, you will have 2-3 months of active participation, including collection of information from you, admission to the hospital for a minimum of 5-7 days, and at least weekly visits to the study center.

BCC015: Phase II Trial of Eflornithine (DFMO) and Etoposide for Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma

This is a study of the drug DFMO (difluoromethylornithine) for neuroblastoma that has returned or not responded to treatment. DFMO is an oral drug that inhibits a certain enzyme (protein) in blood which is associated with a bad outcome in neuroblastoma cases. Cancer cells have pathways that drive the cancer to grow and DFMO targets the specific pathway of this enzyme to turn these cells off.

You will have exams, tests, and procedures while on the study to evaluate whether you can participate in the study and how you are doing while on the study. These include physical exams, blood tests, urine tests, bone marrow aspirate and biopsies, heart tests, hearing tests, and imaging evaluations such as CT scans and MIBG or PET scans. You will receive treatment on this study for a total of about 2 years. After treatment, you will have follow-up examinations and medical tests. We would like to continue to find out about your health for about 5 years after you complete the study.

The Ecology of Infant Emotion-Regulation

This study aims to understand how emotion regulation in infants develops within the context of family and community support. We're particularly interested in the relation between mother-infant synchrony, facilitated by family and community support, and infant emotion regulation. We will use a multi-method approach to collect simultaneous brain activation in mothers and infants, infant's physiological responses, and information about family and community support.

Participants complete an online survey, then come in for 1 in-person visit. This research aims to find out how patterns of brain activation in infants and mothers and infant physiological responses relate to the real life, face-to-face interactions that mothers and babies usually engage in.

Normalizing preteen HPV vaccination with practice-based communication strategies (Protect Them)

This study seeks to adapt and test a culturally-relevant, web-based game intervention to motivate Spanish-speaking preteens to initiate and complete human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. The present study will adapt an existing web-based game developed as an educational tool on HPV vaccination for English-speaking preteens in North Carolina. The study includes the recruitment of paired dyads (Spanish-speaking preteens and parents) to focus groups to evaluate the acceptability of cultural adaptations to the existing web-based game intervention. We will recruit up to 25 parents and preteens ages 11-12 who will receive a link to the Spanish game to play for 7-10 days in advance of the focus group discussions. The focus groups will ask participants about cultural and language adaptations to the existing game and how they react to a game that will serve as an interactive, educational tool on HPV vaccination. The focus groups will take place in Harrisburg, PA between January and March of 2018. No health information will be collected as part of this study.

Parent-to-child anxiety transmission in early childhood: Capturing in-the-moment mechanisms through emotion modeling and biological synchrony

Anxiety can emerge as early as pre-school age (4-7) and is often linked to anxiety in the parent. This study will examine patterns of brain and behavioral synchrony in parent-child pairs as they complete puzzles together and other social activities.

Participation requires three steps; a remote video session with the primary parent, an in-lab visit scheduled with the primary parent and child, and then an additional set of questionnaires given to the secondary caregiver.The remote session consists of obtaining consent, 2 questionnaires, and a clinical interview. The in-lab visit typically lasts about 2-3 hours, consisting of two parent-child activities and several child-only activities. Participants will be asked to wear mobile eye-tracking glasses and special caps used to measures brain activity during some of the tasks.

$125, $100 for the primary parent/or child and $25 for secondary parent

Mechanisms of New-Onset Autoimmunity-Longitudinal Immune Systems Analysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate why some individuals who have a few findings of autoimmunity eventually develop a condition such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In addition to stored biosamples from the SMILE clinical trial, new samples will be collected from persons with findings such as lab tests that are suggestive of lupus with an emphasis on recruitment of individuals ofnon-European ancestry, who were under-represented in the previous clinical trial.

Participants in this study will answer questions about their health and have a short physical exam performed on them. They will provide a blood and urine sample. These procedures will be repeated every twelve months for three years (a total of four times). Both routine and experimental tests will be performed on the blood and urine samples. Genetic studies will be done to help understand the risk of developing lupus.

The Role of Parental Emotion Regulation in Parent-Child Conflicts

This study seeks to examine parenting skills in responses to child misbehavior. Parents complete rating scales about their child's symptoms and behaviors and also participate in computer tasks to measure brain wave activity through EEG. There is an optional section where parent and child will be video recorded while completing activities together. Following the testing sessions are 8 weeks of counseling sessions for parents to help better manage their child's attention and behavior symptoms.

Participants will complete C-DISC while caregiver will complete rating scales around ADHD, ODD, and CD symptoms during initial visit. On the second visit, participants will complete emotion regulation tasks while EEG data is collected. Caregivers will also complete a monetary task while connected to EEG equipment. Parents will use LifeData to report inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and oppositional behaviors over 14 days. Optional parent child interaction and 8-week parenting intervention are offered to participating families.

Interoception, the 8th Sensory System, Is it measurable?

Sensory processing is often affected in children and adolescents with ASD (autism). The 8th sensory system, coined interoception, is under studied in how it affects children with autism. Our study will compare children with and without autism (ages 11-18 years) using a tool we are developing. Our study hopes to develop psychometric properties of a tool to measure this new sensory sense.

A Phase 4, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study of the Efficacy and Safety ofSPN-812 in Preschool-Age Children (4 to 5 years old) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the use of an investigational drug for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in preschool-aged (4-5 years old) children.

If after Visit 1 (Screening) your child is found to be eligible to take the study drug, he/she will need to come to the study center for 7 additional visits (Visits# 2-8; 6 weeks) and you will receive a follow-up phone call one week after your child’s last study visit (or after your child takes the last capsule of study drug). Most visits will be scheduled 1 week apart. Every participant will take 1 capsule each day for 6 weeks. Your child will either take one SPN-812 capsule every day for 6 weeks or a Placebo capsule every day for 6 weeks.

BCC018: A Phase II Study of Naxitamab Added to Induction Therapy for Subjects with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma

This study is being done to learn if it is safe to add naxitamab to standard therapy during the Induction phase of care for patients with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Naxitmab is an immunotherapy agent which trains your immune system to target your tumor in a more specific way than chemotherapy does.

This study has 3 phases- screening, treatment, and follow up. If you join the study, during screening we will test a sample of your tumor along with your blood. The tumor sample will be obtained at the same time as you are having surgery or a biopsy. Other testing will be done to make sure you are eligible to receive treatment. If you are eligible for treatment, you will receive five 21 day cycles of anti-cancer medication (induction chemotherapy) along with naxitamab. You will have to stay in the hospital to receive this treatment for at least 6 days of each 21 day cycle. If your screening testing also shows a certain genetic change in your tumor, we may also add a medication that is targeted at that change. If your tumor does not respond adequately to the initial cycles, we may give up to three additional 21 day cycles of chemotherapy with naxitamab. You will also have procedures at certain timepoints during induction that are standard of care for your tumor. These include collecting stem cells for use later in your therapy after Cycle 2. After Cycle 4, you will have surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. The treatment phase will last about 8 months, after which you will be in follow up. During your time on the study, we will ask to collect research samples of blood, bone marrow, and tumor. We will be monitoring your progress and health throughout your time on treatment and in follow up.
