Filter by:Symptoms of anxiety and depression are common in adolescents and young adults with chronic illnesses and are associated with decreased adherence to medical regimens. However, many young patients go untreated for anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study is to evaluate an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program in young adults with chronic illness. Prior research has shown online CBT to be effective in multiple other populations, but to the investigators' knowledge, this is the first study to examine web-based CBT for young adults with chronic illnesses.
Genital HPV is the necessary cause for cervical cancer, as well as a major contributing cause of several other cancers and conditions. There are now effective vaccines against the main oncogenic HPV types, HPV16 and 18. Most research and discussion has focused on targeting the vaccine to young women and older adolescents. Based on this, a national free HPV vaccination program for adolescent girls commenced in 2007, in Australia. However, at the time of commencement, there had been no research on the use of this vaccine in immunosuppressed. Therefore, information on the immunogenicity, safety and duration of efficacy of HPV vaccine when administered to immunosuppressed children is needed. This trial looked at a 3 dose schedule of quadrivalent HPV vaccine in a range of immunosuppressed children, with the endpoint being immunogenicity, followed for 5 years for duration of immunity.
Purpose and aims This as a pilot study that aims to investigate which inflammatory biomarkers can be found in saliva in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). The hypothesis is that children with JIA will show a different pattern of inflammatory biomarkers in saliva than healthy Children. The null hypothesis is that there are no differences.
Objectives: To assess immunogenicity and safety of the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23) in JIA patients with and without anti-TNF therapy. The influences of demographic data, disease activity and treatment on immune response and the potential deleterious effect of vaccine on disease itself were also evaluated. Methods: 17 JIA patients immediately pre-etanercept (Group 1) and 10 JIA patients on stable dose of methotrexate (Group 2) will receive one dose of PPV23. All patients will be evaluated pre-vaccination, 2 months and 12 months post-vaccination for seven pneumoccocal serotypes. Serology will be performed by enzyme immunoassay and the immunogenicity endpoints will include seroprotection (SP), seroconversion (SP) and geometric mean concentration of antibodies (GMC). Clinical and laboratorial parameters of JIA will be evaluated before and after vaccination.
We believe, that the results of this study will show that children learn from the comic book about their disease, and are now more aware and less frightened about it, and increase their compliance.
This open-label extension of the JIGSAW studies (WA28117 [NCT01904279] and WA28118 [NCT01904292]) is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab treatment in participants with polyarticular-course and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA and sJIA). Participants from the 2 JIGSAW studies will continue to receive 162 milligrams (mg) of SC tocilizumab with treatment schedule according to arthritis subtype and body weight. Participants will receive the treatment until commercial availability of the drug or for a maximum of 5 years, whichever is earlier.
This study is planned to evaluate the human factor (HF)/usability of pediatric or adolescent JIA patients and the caregivers of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) patients with the Methotrexate Prefilled Pen (including a label comprehension assessment and a device robustness evaluation).
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dosage of etanercept in patients treated for idiopathic juvenile arthritis
Study Hypothesis: A virtual peer-to-peer support intervention will improve health outcomes and quality of life in adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
This open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of subcutaneously administered tocilizumab in participants with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA). Participants with body weight less than (<) 30 kilograms (kg) will receive subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab dose every 2 weeks (Q2W) and participants with body weight greater than or equal to (>=) 30 kg will receive weekly (QW), for 52 weeks. Tocilizumab was administered every 10 days until pre-planned interim analysis was performed and changed to Q2W in participants with body weight <30 kg.
