300 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the study is to determine if an Ask, Advise, Connect (AAC) intervention model benefits tobacco control outcomes for pediatric primary care providers (pPCP's) and their young patients.
Tobacco Use
This study will provide psychosocial training to general health care providers to help them provide better care to children with mental health problems.
Mental Disorders Diagnosed in Childhood
The overall goal of this study is to increase access to and adoption of the Healthy Weight Clinic package in primary care settings serving low income families in the United States who have a disproportionately high prevalence of childhood obesity. Two federally-qualified health centers in Mississippi and two health centers in Massachusetts will be implementing a Healthy Weight Clinic Program. The Healthy Weight Clinic is staffed by a medical provider, a Dietitian/Nutritionist, and a Community Healthy Worker. Patients attend individual medical visits (once per month for 12 months) with the multidisciplinary team, group visits led by a member of the team (once per month for 6 months), and phone follow-up between visits. All patients who receive care at the pilot implementation sites will be exposed to the systems-level intervention. A subset of patients will be invited to participate in a research evaluation of the program.
Pediatric Obesity
The goal of this single arm pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility and acceptability of providing families of infants with kits of tele-peripheral devices to use during telemedicine visits with their usual primary care practice. The main question it aims to answer are: - the feasibility of providing families of infants with a kit to tele-peripheral devices to use during at-home, same-day live-interactive primary care telemedicine visits. Participants will receive a kit with tele-peripheral devices which they will have the option to use during telemedicine visits with their primary care practice. Participants will be asked to consent to electronic record review and to complete surveys about their experiences receiving care.
Utilization of Pediatric Health Care
The INTACT trial is a multisite pilot feasibility study aimed at testing the effectiveness of the INTACT Intervention program in improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants prenatally exposed to cannabinoids. The trial will enroll 20 birthing parent/infant dyads across three sites and will evaluate feasibility endpoints rather than clinical outcomes. The study duration is 22 months, including study start-up, enrollment and intervention, and data analysis and manuscript preparation.
Developmental Delay
This is a study to learn about obesity and how insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes develops in children.
Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin Resistance
The purpose of the study is to determine whether parent training with the Incredible Years Parent Program delivered in pediatric primary care decreases usage of healthcare services for the next year when compared to annual healthcare service use during the two years prior to the parents participating in program.
Parenting, Child Rearing, Child Behavior Problem
The investigators want to learn more about obesity, the development of insulin resistance, and Type 2 Diabetes in children. The investigators will do this through collecting information about children's health and conducting experiments on a variety of samples.
Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin Resistance
This randomized controlled trial compares a specially-designed children's book to standard brochures for safe sleep education and reduction of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) risk in a high-risk population of young, first-time mothers enrolled in a home visitation program. Roughly half of the mothers will receive safe sleep education via the book, the other half via brochures, during prescribed home visits. Our study will assess differences in safe sleep knowledge, adherence to recommendations, satisfaction with materials used, and attitudes towards reading with their baby. Our hypothesis is that these will be higher in the group receiving the book, due to simpler language, appealing illustrations, emotional connection, and repeated exposures via shared reading.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
The purpose is to see if any conclusions can be drawn about the uncommon heart defect: anomalous drainage of the inferior vena cava to the left atrium.
Congenital Disorders
The purpose is to evaluate the investigators' length of incisions based on patient weight, operative times, hospital lengths of stay, pain medicine requirements, complications and costs. These data will lead to a new minimally invasive standard of care without a reduction in outcomes.
Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Diseases
The purpose of this study is to do a literature review and combine all of the cases of the intrapericardial teratoma tumor and see if some conclusions can be made about this rare tumor in children.
Intrapericardial Teratoma Tumor, Tumors
The purpose is to determine what factors, if any, lead to delayed feeding, discharge with a NG tube, G-tube placement or Nissen fundoplication.
Congenital Disorders
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal timing for repair of left-to-right shunt lesions such as ventricular septal defects and atrioventricular canals.
Ventricular Septal Defects, Persistent Common Atrioventricular Canal
The purpose of this study is to determine at risk populations for certain congenital heart defects or certain operative procedures and to define the associated morbidity secondary to chylothorax - prolonged chest tube drainage, prolonged hospital stay, need for central access and hyperalimentation, subsequent infection.
Chylothorax
The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of untreated cardiac tumors, study the pathology of primary cardiac tumors, review the surgical treatment and results of primary cardiac tumors and to determine the prognosis for these tumors.
Congenital Heart Disease
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the patterns of death following congenital heart surgery.
Congenital Heart Surgery, Congenital Heart Defects
The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of an elevated quantitative EBV PCR and to determine the relationship between a EBV PCR value and the risk of developing PTLD.
Pediatric Heart Transplant
The overall aim of this study is to disseminate the evidence-based Connect for Health program, specifically targeting pediatric primary care practices that deliver care to low-income children in the US who have a disproportionately high prevalence of childhood obesity and evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation and dissemination.
Overweight and Obesity, Severe Obesity
In 2012, an Expert Panel of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute published guidelines on cardiovascular health and risk reduction in children; among these guidelines were screening recommendations for obesity and obesity-related conditions. Following publication of this report there was a call for caution and for increased patient (parent, child) input on implementing these guidelines. There are limited current studies evaluating patient-centered outcomes (PCO) in the well-child setting, however, given the childhood obesity epidemic, there is a clear need for such an evaluation. The city of Detroit, MI ranks first among 22 cities with data for the prevalence of overweight and obese youth (39.7%), making Henry Ford Health System, which is located in Detroit, MI, an ideal setting to study childhood obesity related research questions.
Obesity, Overweight, Blood Pressure, Hypercholesteremia, Diabetes
VLA15-221 is a Phase 2 study, which will be conducted in two parts: Main Study Phase (Part A) and Booster Phase (Part B). The study will compare the safety and immunogenicity of two different primary immunization schedules applying three (Month 0-2-6) or two (Month 0- 6) vaccinations. Within the study, 600 healthy subjects aged 5-65 years will be included. Subjects with a history of Lyme borreliosis (previous infection with Borrelia) as well as Borrelia naïve subjects will be enrolled. Study duration per subject will be a maximum of 50 months per subject.
Lyme Borreliosis
Background: During the first few decades of life, the brain changes dramatically in shape and function. Sleep lets researchers measure these changes. Researchers want to create a database of sleep and neurodevelopmental data in a group of infants and children to learn more. Objective: To address a knowledge and data gap in the field of sleep and neurodevelopment in infants and children. Eligibility: Children ages 6 months to 76 months who may or may not be at risk for neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Also, children ages 6 months to 8 years who have a referral for a sleep study. Design: Participants will have neurodevelopmental testing. They will have a medical, psychiatric, and family history. They will have a physical and neurological exam. They will be interviewed and complete surveys. They will give a cheek swab and/or blood sample. Some participants will have 1 study visit that lasts 2 days. Other participants will have up to 4 study visits. Each visit will last 2 days. Visits occur every 8 months to 1 year, for a total participation time of 2 years. Participants will have a 20-minute daytime electroencephalogram (EEG), if possible. This EEG session will be used to calibrate the machine for the overnight study. Participants will take part in an inpatient overnight sleep study. Electrodes will be placed on the participants. For young children, parents will help place the EEG leads. Other sensors may also be placed. A gauze cap will be placed on participants head to protect the leads and keep the participants from moving them. 'Lights out' will occur as close to participants bedtime as possible.
Healthy Children, Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Children With Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Children With Behavioral Syndromes
The purpose of this research is to understand the normal healthy response to immunological challenge by measuring circulating cytokine and chemokine levels before and after vaccinations in healthy children. These data will define a range of normal responses that can be used to help us understand pathogenic mechanisms in children who do not respond normally to infections. In addition, this study will test the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene are associated with differential inflammatory responses across the healthy spectrum.
Healthy Controls
This phase 3 clinical study is a randomized, observer-blind, comparator-controlled, multicenter study of QIVc versus a US-licensed comparator QIV in children 6 months through 47 months of age. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that vaccination with QIVc elicits an immune response that is noninferior to that of a US-licensed comparator QIV containing the same virus strains, in children 6 months through 47 months of age.
Influenza, Human, Virus Diseases
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of baloxavir marboxil in healthy pediatric participants from birth to \<1 year with influenza like symptoms
Influenza
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of baloxavir marboxil compared with oseltamivir in a single influenza episode in otherwise healthy pediatric participants (i.e., 1 to \<12 years of age) with influenza-like symptoms.
Influenza
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety profile of CSL425 (CSL's 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine) in a healthy pediatric population.

The goal of this trial is to compare two types of patient, public and clinician involvement (PPCI) in research: Consultative PPCI and Collaborative PPCI. The study team will compare these methods of PPCI in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) in which PPCI participants will engage with research teams on one of three real qualitative research interview studies addressing topics: 1) pediatric mental health, 2) cancer screening and 3) serious illness. Qualitative interviews are conversations with people about their experiences and perspectives. In all three qualitative studies, PPCI participants will help us at every stage of the research, from design (making choices about how to set up the study) through dissemination (sharing findings). The researchers do not know about any quantitative (numbers) evidence from RCTs about how well different PPCI approaches work. As far as the study team knows, this is the first RCT of PPCI approaches. Given this gap in knowledge, the research question is: How does a Consultative PPCI approach compare to a Collaborative PPCI approach in increasing engagement and partnership trust in research, particularly among historically underrepresented groups? The researchers' best guess (hypothesis), considering the information available, is that Collaborative PPCI will increase PPCI participant engagement, trust and the patient-centeredness of research more than Consultative PPCI.
Pediatric Mental Health Services, Cancer Screening, Serious Illness
The aim of the study is to improve access to child mental health and substance abuse (MH/SA) care by expanding primary care screening and increasing availability of timely mental health evaluation and treatment.
Pediatric Mental Health Services
In 2019, the Office of the California Surgeon General launched the ACEs Aware Initiative in collaboration with the California Department of Health Care Services. This ambitious campaign aims to develop a network of care model of healthcare delivery that explicitly links health resources within communities to clinicians screening patients for ACEs. The ACEs Aware Initiative recognizes nature experiences as one of seven "stress busters." Indeed, California boasts many outdoor resources for clinicians to integrate into the network of care. Through a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system, providing a setting for supportive relationships to develop and physical activity to occur, time in nature may help California prevent, heal and treat ACEs and the clinical sequelae. As one of the most common psychiatric disorders in youth, anxiety remains one of the most important sequelae of ACEs. There is a gap in evidence evaluating nature-based programs for child mental health. This study will evaluate BLOOM \[Boldly Living outdOOrs for Mental health\], a new intervention which is a modified version of an existing nature-based curriculum called SHINE (Stay Healthy In Nature Everyday) curriculum currently in place at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, which takes youth and their families into nature once a month for stress relief. This new intervention mirrors SHINE except that it will be tailored to children ages 9-12 with a history of ACEs and current anxiety. This study will evaluate the benefits of a group intervention model, an independent nature-outing model, and a comparison to a wait-listed control group. Our goal is to provide a scalable model for low-cost mental health care to the California Department of Health Care Services.
