| NCT00001262 ↗ | Copper Histidine Therapy for Menkes Diseases | Completed | Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 1990-06-01 | Menkes Disease is a genetic disorder affecting the metabolism of copper. Patient with this disease are both physically and mentally retarded. Menkes disease is usually first detected in the first 2-3 months of life. Infant males born with the disease fail to thrive, experience hypothermia, have delayed development, and experience seizures. These infants also have characteristic physical features such as changes of their hair and face. Females may also have changes in hair and skin color, but rarely have significant medical problems. Appropriate treatment of Menkes Disease requires that the disease be diagnosed early and treatment started before irreversible brain damage occurs. The aim of treatment is to bypass the normal route of absorption of copper through the gastrointestinal tract. Copper must then be delivered to brain cells and be available for use by enzymes. Copper histidine is a copper replacement that can be injected directly into the body to avoid absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. However, studies have shown the genetic abnormalities causing Menkes disease cannot simply be corrected by copper replacement injections. The genetic abnormality causing Menkes disease can vary in its severity. Patients with a genetic abnormality that may still permit some production of the enzymes required to process copper may receive benefit from early treatment with copper replacement. However, patients with severe abnormalities of the genes responsible for copper metabolism may receive no benefit from copper replacement. The purpose of this study is to continue to evaluate the effects of early copper histidine in Menkes disease patients and to correlate specific molecular defects with responses to treatment. |
| NCT00002182 ↗ | A Study of Megestrol Acetate in HIV-Infected Children | Completed | Gamma Project - ACTU | N/A | 1969-12-31 | The purpose of this study is to see if megestrol acetate is safe and effective in treating HIV-infected children with failure to thrive (FTT). |
| NCT00006401 ↗ | Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Preventing Chronic Lung Disease in Premature Infants | Completed | National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) | Phase 3 | 2000-09-01 | To determine whether or not inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) safely decreases the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD) in premature infants. |
| NCT00006401 ↗ | Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Preventing Chronic Lung Disease in Premature Infants | Completed | University of Colorado, Denver | Phase 3 | 2000-09-01 | To determine whether or not inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) safely decreases the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD) in premature infants. |
| NCT00381914 ↗ | Vitamin D Dose-Response Study to Establish Dietary Requirements in Infants | Completed | McGill University | Phase 2 | 2007-03-01 | The research team is comprised of an expert nutrition scientist and a pediatrician with expertise in endocrinology. Both have world-class experience in assessing bone mass in infancy. Together they have designed a study to determine how much dietary vitamin D is needed to optimize health in infants. This is important since many infants are born with vitamin D deficiency. At present the dosage of vitamin D that is optimal for infant health is unclear and recent research suggests that vitamin D status very early in life has long lasting effects on bone mass and other health issues. Therefore, in a group of healthy infants, this research team will test which dosage of vitamin D is needed to achieve optimal vitamin D status. Optimal vitamin D status will be based on growth, biomarkers of vitamin D and bone status in blood and also general health. The infants will all be breastfed and begin the study at about 2 weeks of age. At 3 months intervals over the first year of life, each infant will be measured for growth, duration of breastfeeding and supplement use plus have a bone density scan to determine changes in bone growth. The data will be helpful to guide health care professionals in providing the best care possible for their infants. It will also be important to the health of populations since dietary recommendations for vitamin D are used to guide fortification of foods and development of evidence based policy around nutrient recommendations and their implementation. |
