Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study on Current Treatments of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease Rochester, Minn. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder which is common enough to be a significant public health problem (affects 1 in 740 boys between ages 0-14), but uncommon enough to have a sufficient number of patients from a single institution to perform a definitive prospective study comparing the results of current treatments. The present study will establish a database of prospectively identified patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) Disease and collect information regarding their presentation, treatment, and outcomes in the course of receiving currently available treatments. This study seeks to compare the outcomes of current treatments in the management of different age groups (ages 1-6, 6-8, 8-11, >11) of patients with Perthes disease at two- and five-year followup and at skeletal maturity. For each age group, two to three common treatment regimens currently used by practicing pediatric orthopaedic surgeons will be compared. The intervention a patient receives is determined through physician treatment expertise, and is not pre-determined by the study. A Study to Evaluate a Primary Care-Based Intervention for Adolescent Restrictive Eating Disorders Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary outcomes of a treatment protocol (FBT-PC) for PCP management of adolescent restrictive eating disorders. C. Albicans during Early Life Predisposes Individuals to Atopy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of C. albicans to dysbiotic microbial communities of mucosal tissues in pediatric populations. Prospective sampling across multiples tissue sites in a pediatric cohort will be used to assess which tissues are colonized by C. albicans and associated with microbial dysbiosis seen in atopic dermitis. We hypothesize presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities in early life is associated with atopy. We will assess the presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities of a population of children at-risk for atopic dermatitis compared to healthy controls who do not have an underlying risk for atopy based off family history. In tandem with the collection of human samples, we will utilize mouse models to validate the influence of C. albicans exposure during early life on the systemic immune populations. Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorder Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas. T Cell Response to COVID19 Vaccinated Individuals Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The first aim of this study is to verify that the TCR beta sequencing and curation platforms we will be using are able to identify patients with severe COVID-19 based on the TCR repertoires. This may be accomplished by testing and analyzing results between two cohorts: patients presenting acutely to MCF with mild COVID-19 and patients presenting with severe COVID-19. This will be accomplished by utilizing the the immunoSEQ Human T-cell Receptor Beta (hsTCB) Assay (Adaptive Biothechnologies) and the publicly available ImmuneCODE Open Access Database to confirm previously published data (PMID: 34253751). Both procedures will be performed by the company that created both platforms, Adaptive Biothechnologies. The second aim of this study is to sequence the TCR receptors of participating patients and identify TCR motifs that may indicate a predisposition to (or protection from) severe SARS-CoV-2, leading to possible risk stratification of such patients, and whether or not age, gender or ethnicity has any contribution to said risk. This may require that we examine all three cohorts listed in the Subject Information section. The third aim is to measure SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies to distinguish patients that have not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to those that have been exposed. Clinical and Basic Investigations into Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to establish the prevalence and severity of specific morbid indicators of disease severity such as specific organ system involvement, degree of cognitive disability, and case-fatality associated with various congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), and establish a dynamic platform to effectively disperse clinically relevant findings to families, non-expert clinicians and researchers, as well as provide a verified method to link these individuals to experts in CDG. A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis and Low-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. The pupose of this study is to evaluate whether or not selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatine/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, 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. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine. A Dose-Ranging Study to Determine the Effectiveness, Safety and Tolerability of AeroFact Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this two-part Phase 2 study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of aerosolized SF-RI 1 (AeroFact) when delivered via nCPAP at two different doses. Bioengineered Cardiac Tissue for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Analysis Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to produce and characterize patient-specific cardiac tissue for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) using reprogrammed cell technology. A Study of the Effect of Treatment on Activity and Muscle Function in Pediatric Patients with Scoliosis Rochester, Minn. This study will explore the relationship between skeletal muscle and physical activity in scoliosis patients to provide insight into both the etiology of scoliosis and possible ways to mitigate the potential harm of treatment.
