This study aims to understand the perspectives of parents, caregivers, family members, and professionals involved with children who have ultra-rare genetic disorders. It uses interviews or focus groups to explore ethical and value-based questions.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06264700Recruiting
Helping patients take hydroxyurea as prescribed
This study tests whether video directly observed therapy (a caregiver or adolescent records themselves taking the medication) improves how consistently hydroxyurea is taken. It is for children with sickle cell disease (ages 1-10) or adolescents/young adults (ages 11-25) who have been prescribed hydroxyurea for at least 6 months.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 11 years+ - NCT04439552Recruiting
MRI study during cornea cross-linking for keratoconus
This trial uses an MRI scan (and a close-up eye scan) to study what happens in the cornea during treatment for keratoconus. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works and who benefits most.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–35 - NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT05569122RecruitingPhase 1
Studying an MRI contrast method in mitochondrial muscle disease
This Phase 1 study tests a special MRI approach (using a contrast agent) to better measure changes in muscles in people with mitochondrial diseases. It also includes some healthy volunteers and other critically ill patients to compare results and check safety.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–60 - NCT01386437Recruiting
Study immune problems and fungal infections
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT07725263Recruiting
Low-dose antifungal for kids with low white blood cells
This trial tests a low dose of an antifungal medicine (liposomal amphotericin B) to prevent serious fungal infections in children whose immune system is weak after cancer treatment or a stem cell transplant. It's for kids aged 3 to 17 who are at high risk for these infections.
