Principal Investigator:
Nobuko Hijiya, MDThe purpose of this study is to determine if a study drug called pembrolizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of children and adolescents who have advanced melanoma, or advanced, relapsed, or refractory PD-L1 positive malignant solid tumor or other lymphoma, relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (rrcHL), advanced, relapsed or refractory microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) solid tumor. Participants might be at least 6 months ( 3 years rrcHL) to less than 18 years old and able to provide the sample for testing the PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) purpose from an... -
Principal Investigator:
Mercedes Martinez, MDThe purpose of this study is to better understand how common and how severe pruritis (itching) is in children and adults under 21 years of age with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The study involves the completion of two short online surveys. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC). -

Principal Investigator:
Meyer Kattan, MDWe are interested in learning more about these diseases and how to treat them. Our research program is conducting several studies including: a study to learn if treatment with a drug named dupilumab can help reduce asthma attacks in children, a study to observe a specific type of irritation in the lungs and how it relates to asthma symptoms, and more! If you live in the city or surrounding counties and have an interest in participating in research studies, you may be eligible to join a registry of participants. Our research focuses on children, but all ages are eligible to join. Contribute to... -

Principal Investigator:
Ilene Fennoy, MDWe know that puberty is a major time of change! Adolescents develop new decision-making skills and independence. It is possible that some of these changes are due to the hormonal changes during puberty. One of the ways we treat transgender and gender non-conforming teens is to suppress or "block" puberty. We know that this is a safe thing to do for teens because we use it in people who start puberty too early (precocious puberty) and in people who are born very small in order to prolong their growth potential. We are doing this study to continue to understand the impact of this therapy on... -
Principal Investigator:
Vidhu Thaker, MDWe will enroll children with severe early-onset obesity (BMI - 99th percentile) diagnosed prior to 6 years of age. We will ask questions about their health, eating behavior and perform a brief physical examination. We will collect saliva or blood to perform genetic testing. We will also invite family members to participate in the genetic study. -
Principal Investigator:
Usha S Krishnan, MDThis study is being done to determine whether early combination therapy with two study drugs called sildenafil (REVATIO) and bosentan (TRACLEER) can improve pulmonary hypertension when compared to using sildenafil alone. Pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe medical problem that often worsens with time. It is caused by problems with the growth and/or function of the arteries that supply blood to the lungs. This is a growing problem in the world today. Despite the serious nature of this disorder, the medical field does not yet know the best first treatment for infants,... -

Principal Investigator:
Steven J. Lobritto, MDIn this study, we will collect information from the medical record of pediatric liver transplant recipients who received live vaccines as part of their routine post-transplant care. This data will be combined with data from other centers across the United States and Canada to help give us a better understanding of the safety and efficacy of live vaccines in the patient population. Vaccine-preventable illness continues to have resurgence in the United States and globally. Specifically, mumps and measles outbreaks have occurred with increasing frequency and distribution in the past several...
