A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Study of Oral Deucrictibant Soft Capsule for On-Demand Treatment of Attacks in Adolescents and Adults with Hereditary Angioedema

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn more about the use of the investigational drug, deucrictibant, for the treatment of HAE. Deucrictibant is designed to block the effects of bradykinin to avoid progression of attacks and lead to the resolution of attacks. In this study, the investigational drug is a soft capsule containing 20 mg of deucrictibant that you will take by mouth. There are already medicines available to treat the manifestations of HAE attacks, but these are injected either into a vein or under the skin. If you are currently on a stable dose of prophylactic treatment to prevent HAE attacks, you will be asked to continue using this at the same dose throughout the duration of the study.

You will need to come to the study site approximately four times. At two of these visits, you will have blood and urine collected. You will have vital signs collected, physical exams, vital signs, and EKG’s performed. You will need to treat two HAE attacks with the study drug, complete questionnaires on an electronic diary, and participate in telephone interviews with the study team.

Young Children’s Representations of Parent-Child Negotiation

The goal of this study is to learn how young children think and tell stories about challenges between parents and children. Children will play games and tell stories using toys while caregivers fill out surveys and talk to researchers. This will occur twice, about 6 months apart. Qualities of children's stories, their language and regulation skills, demographic information about children and caregivers, and parenting behaviors will be examined.

The HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD)

This multi-site consortium research study, entitled the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) study, willprospectively examine human brain, cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional development beginning prenatallythrough age 10 years. The study will determine the short- and long-term impacts of a variety of potentially harmfulas well as protective environmental factors. These include prenatal substance use, mental health, stress,sociodemographics, biological and genetic factors, and parent/child interaction. The overall goal of this study is tounderstand the neurodevelopmental trajectories of children growing up in diverse environments. A sample of~7,500 pregnant women will be recruited from 25 sites across the U.S. and they and their liveborn children will befollowed for 10 years.

If you agree for you and your child to participate, we will ask you to take part in completing visits from pregnancy through the first 10 years of your child’s life. These visits will take place both in-person and remotely. The length of visits will vary and may last between approximately one to nine hours per visit (which can be broken up into multiple visits). Over the first four years of the study, all study visits will require about 33-37 hours total. This will include interviews, questionnaires and other tests about yourself and your child. We will ask you and your child to wear small devices for a few days to measure heart rate and or movement. We will ask you and your child to provide some biological samples. Because this study is looking at how a child’s brain develops in the first years of life, we will ask that you allow your child to have brain scans and other measures of how your child’s brain is developing. This study is being offered in both State College, PA at the University Park campus and in Hershey, PA at the College of Medicine campus. You may choose to complete this study at either site.

Cognitive Debriefing: Developing and instrument to measure Internalized Weight Bias among Adolescents

For many years, overweight and obesity has been highly stigmatized in society, and children are often bullied or teased for their weight. Over time, these experiences can cause adolescents to feel badly about themselves and view themselves as society views them. We call this process the internalization of weight bias or IWB. IWB can increase feelings of depression and anxiety and is associated with unhealthy eating behaviors. For this project, we wanted to create a questionnaire to measure this important topic, and get feedback from adolescents and professionals to make sure the questions are correct and easy to understand. We want to recruit 20 adolescents age 12-17 and medical professionals to review some questions and provide their feedback on these questions by participating in an interview. Participants will be compensated for their time.

We would like to interview teens and health professionals to review some survey questions and make sure that the questions we use to measure this concept are appropriate. These interviews will take 60-90 minutes over ZOOM.

Pennsylvania Adoptees Longitudinal Study (PALS)

This study will examine various factors within the home of children adopted from the child welfare system between the ages of 4 and 10 that may impact their development. The first visit will occur remotely via Penn State Health Microsoft Teams; the second visit is optional and will occur within 4 weeks of the first visit at the Transforming Lives of Children Center in Harrisburg, PA; and the third visit will occur one year after the first visit, when research staff will travel to participants' homes. This research will help understand the factors that impact the development of children adopted from the child welfare system and how we may better serve these children and their families.

The child and parent will be asked to complete interviews, questionnaires and various tasks. Parents may also be asked to complete questionnaires online.Participation will last for one year and include the following:-One visit occurring remotely via PSH Microsoft Teams-One visit at the Transforming the Lives of Children Center in Harrisburg, PA, four weeks after Zoom visit (optional)-Final visit at home will occur one year after the first Zoom visit

Emotion Regulation and Mother-Infant Synchrony

The aim of this study is to better understand emotion regulation in infants by measuring brain, behavior, and mother-infant relational mechanisms. We plan to collect simultaneous brain activation in mothers and infants while they engage in a face-to-face interaction. We will then test associations between individual brain activation, mother-infant brain synchrony, and infant emotion regulation behaviors.

Participants complete questionnaires online, then come in for 1 in-person visit. Mother and baby complete a play and a neutral task while fNIRS is collected from them simultaneously.

Making Second Language Learning More Inclusive in the Elementary Classroom: A Metalinguistic and Multimodal Approach

This study aims to find out whether learning German can help children with language difficulties improve their English skills. Children will learn German grammar using colors, shapes, and simple explanations to help them understand how language works.

Participants will complete 20 one-hour Zoom sessions over 10 weeks. During these sessions, they will learn German using a visual and interactive approach that highlights both similarities and differences between German and English. Some sessions will involve fun learning activities, while others will include assessments of language, cognitive, and metalinguistic skills.
