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.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Vehicle-controlled, Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of Patidegib Gel 2% for the Reduction of Disease Burden of Persistently Developing Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs) in Subjects with Gorlin Syndrome
Participants 18 years and older who meet the diagnostic criteria for the basal cell nevus (Gorlin) syndrome will be assigned to receive either Patidegib Gel 2% or Placebo (no active medicine) to apply twice daily for 12 months. The assignment will be made according to sex assigned at birth, age, and number of BCC lesions at the treatment area at Baseline. The primary endpoint is a comparison between the 2 treatment arms of the number of new BCCs at Month 12 compared to Baseline. The BCCs will be imaged and tracked consistently throughout the study to identify new BCCs and to confirm their diagnosis by dermoscopy (handheld instrument with a 15x magnification lens and a cross-polarized light source).
Participants will participate in 15 visits over approximately 14 months (attend 6 in person visits along with 9 phone call visits). In addition, participants will receive study medication to apply twice a day for 12 months and undergo clinical tests at various time points, which include blood tests, ECG, complete questionnaires/diary, skin exam and skin photographs.
Compensation is provided for eligible participants.

Exploring Genetic Correlates of Facial Diversity Among Afghanistan's Major Ethnic Groups
Our first, aim is to quantify the superficial traits among the Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtun populations of Afghanistan by using a computer-based 3D morphometric method. We want to quantify the facial traits, voices and pigmentation, identify genetic regions affecting these traits, and plot phylogenetic trees to explain the probable facial variation and evidence of shared genetic basis they might exhibit across population. The expected number of participants in the study will be ~ 500 individuals which will provide us a better understanding of the evolution of superficial traits among these Afghan ethnic groups. This will be the first study to focus on Afghanistan's population which will provide important insights into a diverse and understudied set of human populations. As a result, a more comprehensive examination of facial genetics could be performed. Our second aim for the study is to uncover which genetic variants affect superficial trait variation by using next-generation sequencing (NGS). To achieve this goal, human saliva samples will be collected which will undergo genetic laboratory procedures for DNA extraction, amplification, quantification, and genotyping. The finding will help us to learn more about the qualitative and quantitative facial genetic variability. We hypothesize that facial variability among Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtun is greater than expected which can lead us to other questions about ancestry, migration, and human evolution. From their geographic proximity genetic and computational analysis will allow us to answer the question of how facial pigmentation and vocal variation among these populations leads to genetic diversity. Climate, migration history, and mate choice are the major contributors to phenotypic variation in the population. Our qualitative and quantitative data will be the best source of understanding facial morphological variation across populations, and how past migration affects gene flow, which has a direct effect on these traits which evolved jointly and differently in each population. Our third aim for this project is to look for forensically important markers that can contribute to the field of forensic genetics and enhance law enforcement and forensic investigations. The discovery of novel forensically important markers that can shape phenotypic variation will make major contributions to the field of forensic anthropology. The fourth and final objective of this research is to determine how human migration affects the variation of the oral microbiome and the subsequent effects of this diversity on human well-being, diet, energetics, and microbial genus.
