Develop better ways of screening and diagnosing certain types of brain injuries in infants and children who are born with and without congenital heart disease.

To understand how environmental factors affect a child's early brain development. This includes positive factors like social support and parent-child bonding and challenges like poverty, stress and early life exposures.

1) To determine if 5 doses of Epo (Erythropoietin) 1000 U/kg (birth weight) intravenous (IV) reduces the rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (mild, moderate, or severe) at 24 months of age. 

2) To assess safety of Epo. 

3) To determine whether Epo decreases the severity of HIE-induced brain injury as evidenced by early MRI and plasma biomarkers of brain injury.

Hydroxychloroquine is given as an investigational drug to relatives of someone with type 1 diabetes who have positive diabetes antibodies in an attempt to prevent or delay the onset of type 1 diabetes.

To determine if MEDI8897 reduces the amount of visits to see a medical professional due to a lower respiratory tract infection caused by RSV. We will be looking at this in healthy preterm infants entering their first RSV session.

The collection of the research data we hope will help better screening, diagnosing procedures and treatment of brain injury in newborns and identify a connection between MR imaging and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Develop non-invasive measures to identify abnormal placental function in babies with and without congenital anomalies.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of crinecerfont versus placebo administered twice daily (bid) with breakfast and evening meals for28 weeks in approximately 81 pediatric subjects with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to21-hydroxylase deficiency. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio (active:placebo) to either crinecerfont (25 mg bid via oral solution for subjects 10 to <20 kg, 50 mg bid via oral solution for subjects 20 to <55 kg, or 100 mg bid via oral capsules for subjects ≥55 kg) or matching placebo (oral solution placebo for subjects <55 kg and oral capsule placebo for subjects ≥55 kg). Dose assignment from Day 1 to Week 28 will be based on the subject’s weight at Day 1. After the 28-week placebo-controlled treatment period, there will be a 24-week, open-label treatment period, during which all subjects will receive crinecerfont at doses based on their Week 28 body weight.

To test a new experimental drug Temisirolimus - Temsirolimus (also known as Torisel®) is approved for kidney cell cancer treatment in adults - in combination with approved chemotherapy drugs - in the hopes of finding a drug combination that may be effective against leukemia and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma that has come back after initial treatment. To find the highest dose that can be given without casing severe side effects.

This research is being done to test the safety and effectiveness of intranasal carbetocin to treat Prader Willi Syndrome.
