Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)

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

Pyeloplasty Database

There is currently a lack of information on critical questions surrounding laterality of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic obstruction, the utility of retrograde pyelogram, and the appropriate management for patients with concurrent UPJO and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO). Therefore, we propose first a retrospective study of all pyeloplasty’s completed at CHLA for UPJO to answer some of these critical questions. The results of this study may inform future studies in this realm. We will retrospectively review all cases of pyeloplasty completed at CHLA (from 2000 through present) to identify differences in outcomes.

SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial) Study

This is a randomized trial to help determine which of two gold standard treatments, Medication or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or their combination, is most effective when treating anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. Treatment of every child with an anxiety disorder begins with the question of which treatment to start first, and then what to do if that initial treatment is not as helpful as it should be. This study will help patients, families, and clinicians determine which treatment sequences are most helpful for which specific patients.

Spruce Adult Study

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the potential of tildacerfont to reduce GC burden in adult subjects with classic CAH who have LLD ≤ A4 ≤ 2.5x ULN and are on supraphysiologic doses of GC therapy (≥30 mg/day and ≤60 mg/day HCe). This will be the first study of tildacerfont to evaluate GC dose reduction. In addition, this study will characterize clinical outcomes after up to 76 weeks of treatment with tildacerfont. An optional Open-Label Extension Period will provide an open-label treatment with tildacerfont at 200 mg QD for up to 240 weeks.

Team Clinic

The purpose of the study is to learn about how to improve access to care during adolescence/young adulthood and to see if Virtual Team Clinic is an acceptable form of care. Virtual Team Clinic is a new approach to provide care to (middle/high) school aged patients living with Type 1 Diabetes and their families. This new approach consists of Virtual Team Clinic appointments (primarily telemedicine, and/or in person as necessary). The study also incorporates group visits/medical appointments with a multidisciplinary care team (e.g., RD, RN, Social Worker, etc.). Each group will have a special theme and learning experience. You will learn how to better take care of your diabetes, get support from others, and hopefully have fun.

To explore the possibilities of providing weight management services to teenagers through technology.
