The purpose of the study is to evaluate blood sugar levels and beta-cell function in adolescents and adult with KATP hyperinsulinism whom did not undergo pancreatectomy. We will perform oral glucose tolerance tests, glucose potentiated arginine tests, and evaluate blood sugars in home environment by using continuous glucose monitoring for 10 days.

Dr. Weber at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is looking for boys and young men with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy between 5-20 years old to participate in a study to learn more about bone health. Study participation includes completing two study visits: one baseline visit and one 12-month follow-up visit. To be eligible, participants must have used steroids for a minimum of 12 months by the time they complete their baseline visit. Eligible study participants will be paid for each study visit. If interested in hearing more about this study or being screened for eligibility, please contact Dr. David Weber at davidweberresearch@chop.edu.

The primary purpose of the CAHptain study is to explore the safety and efficacy of tildacerfont in children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years of age with classic CAH, and evaluate if it may improve hormonal balance and allow children to take lower doses of glucocorticoids.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of dasiglucagon in children between the ages of 7 days and 12 months who have congenital hyperinsulinism. Dasiglucagon will be given as a subcutaneous infusion while patients are admitted to the hospital. Other treatments for hyperinsulinism may be changed as allowed while maintaining safe blood sugar levels. For the second part of the study, patients may be able to go home on the medication.

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and tolerability (how well you will react) of the study drug (HM15136) and to determine if it is effective for the treatment of Congenital Hyperinsulinism (HI). HM15136 is an experimental drug which is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of HI. HM15136 is stable and has a long effect in the body, only requiring it to be given (by injection) once a week. HM15136 is designed to act like glucagon, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels by increasing the glucose produced in the liver and breaking down glycogen (a form of stored glucose) into the usable glucose form.

Participation lasts for up to 22 weeks and will involve up to 13 study visits. Study procedures include taking the study drug for 8 weeks, having electrocardiograms, wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and using a handheld glucose meter, having blood and urine tests, and completing an electronic diary.

The main risks of this study include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, injection site reactions (swelling, itching, bleeding, or pain), loss of appetite, weight loss, high blood sugar. You may benefit if the study drug proves to be more effective than your current treatment plan in treating low blood sugar.

This study wants to know about the problems that Black or African American teenagers with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their families face. It also wants to see how these problems affect their feelings, behavior, and how they get along with others. The study will find out how well they can handle T1D and adapt to it. It will also learn how good things like being strong, family, and where they live might help young people who have to deal with hard things. This includes how well they handle their feelings, behavior, relationships, and T1D care.

Our team has partnered with Moderna on a clinical trial for patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1a). We would like to invite you to take part in a clinical trial for an mRNA investigational drug that could potentially correct the cause of GSD1a, by teaching your body to break down glycogen, correct low glucose, and avoid starch intake. The purpose of this trial is to see if a new investigational mRNA study drug, called mRNA-3745, is safe and if it works in the way researchers expect. mRNA technology uses messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), an instructional molecule that naturally occurs in the body and carries information to cells. In this case, we are studying if mRNA-3745 given through an IV infusion can instruct the body to make the protein that is missing in people with GSD1a.

mRNA-3725 is not approved by the FDA; the FDA has allowed us to provide this investigational medicine to patients enrolled in this phase 1/2 trial. Phase 1/2 clinical trials like this one aim to test the safety, side effects, and best dose of an investigational medication. In the phase 2 part, participants usually receive the highest dose of treatment discovered in the phase 1 part. This is the first study in which humans are administered this study drug.

If successful, mRNA-3745 would enable certain organs in the body to effectively break down glycogen and avoid low glucose levels and starch intake. If mRNA-3745 could correct the cause of GSD1a, it would help keep your glucose levels where they need to be all the time.

Participation in this clinical trial could last up to approximately two years, depending on which stage you enroll in and whether or not you decide to participate in the long-term follow-up period of the study. Some of the visits in this trial will require you to stay overnight at the hospital, and some of the visits will require you to visit the hospital or doctors office. Most of the visits in this clinical trial can be done at your home, where a home health nurse will perform the assessments needed.

All study-related procedures, travel, and compensation are provided.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective the drug Qsymia (Phentermine/Topiramate of Ph/T) is for children, adolescents, and young adults with hypothalamic obesity. We will also evaluate if Ph/T helps with weight loss and changes in hunger in patients with hypothalamic obesity.

If you are determined to be eligible, then your participation will last for approximately 8 months. Participants will be asked to complete up to 5 in-person visits and 5 telephone safety check-ins. During the study you will be randomly assigned to study drug (phentermine/topiramate) or placebo for 28 weeks.

You will complete study procedures including blood tests, ECGs, mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry, body composition scan, and questionnaires. Compensation and reimbursement of limited travel expenses is available.

Our team is working on a study to better understand neurological problems, including seizures and developmental delays, that occur in many individuals with HI/HA syndrome. The study involves a one day visit to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and The University of Pennsylvania for a specialized magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) of the brain, an electroencephalogram (EEG), blood draw, and completion of questionnaires to evaluate development and behavior. The entire study visit is expected to take about four hours. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us at HIResearch@email.chop.edu.

Our team is working on a clinical drug trial that involves giving you a study drug that is not FDA-approved called RZ358. The goal of the trial is to test the study drug safety, how your body processes the drug, how the drug affects your body, and see if it can increase your blood sugar. If you agree to take part, your participation will last for up to 27 weeks and include 4 weeks of screening, 8 weeks of treatment, and a 15 week follow-up period. It is possible that treatment with the study drug infusions may improve your blood sugar levels and/or reduce the use of other medication(s) to prevent hypoglycemia.
