The role of gut microbiome in epilepsy

The propose of this pilot study is to test the hypothesis that children with epilepsy have changes in gut microbiome as compared to their siblings and controls.

Our specific aims are:

1. To compare the taxonomy of gut microbiome in patients with new onset epilepsy versus siblings and controls.

2. To compare the taxonomy of gut microbiome in patients with new onset epilepsy versus chronic and refractory epilepsy.

Peanut Patch

The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Viaskin Peanut to induce desensitization to peanut in peanut-allergic children 1 to 3 years of age after a 12-month treatment by EPicutaneous ImmunoTherapy (EPIT)

Peanut Oral Immunetherapy

Your child is invited to participate because your child has a peanut allergy. The study will last up to 72 weeks where you will take daily study drug, monthly study injections, complete study questionnaires/diaries, food challenge, skin prick tests, breathing tests, and have your blood drawn.

For Dupilumab there are common risks such as: conjunctivitis (pink eye), injection site reaction (swelling, redness, etc.), your child may experience a local or generalized allergic reaction (also known as a hypersensitivity reaction).

Nurtured Heart Approach Study

Parents or caregivers of a child with ADHD ages 6, 7 or 8 are invited to participate in a study to reduce ADHD symptoms. Parents are asked to complete surveys at two or three time points and to complete a six-week online course called the Nurtured Heart Approach.

Oral Bacterial Extract for the Prevention of Wheezing Lower Respiratory Tract Illness

The Oral Bacterial Extract (ORBEX) Study is a three year study to see whether the wheezing and lower respiratory tract illnesses that lead to asthma can be prevented. The goal is to find if a medication that is used in Europe, called Broncho-Vaxom®, can prevent wheezing lower respiratory infections in young children. It may work to stimulate a child’s immune system in order to increase the body’s defenses against germs that cause children to have respiratory illnesses.

Family Routines Enhancing Adolescent Diabetes by Optimizing Management

We are looking for families with a child or adolescent with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes to participate in a study examining the effects of an intervention to assist families with their daily routines. Assessments and the intervention consultation address sleep, school, and family activities that may help or interfere with diabetes management.

Study of a HPV vaccine among 9-11 year-old girls

Do you have a daughter between the ages of 9 and 11 years of age? Researchers at the University of Arizona are conducting a HPV vaccine study that may interest you! HPV is short for human papillomavirus, a common virus. HPV vaccines are usually given as a series of three injections over 6 months to protect against HPV-related cancers and diseases. This new HPV vaccine study is recruiting 9-11 year-old girls to determine if one injection of the HPV vaccine will produce long-term immune response.
