NCT01666275
Metabolomics is the study of metabolic pathways and the unique biochemical molecules which result from the regulatory response to physiological stressors, disease processes, or drug therapy. By measuring changes in metabolite concentrations, the range of biochemical effects and therapeutic intervention can be determined. Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, asthma, and airway reactivity to aspirin and/or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This reaction to aspirin during challenge/desensitization is equivalent to an allergic drug reaction however we are able to evaluate these specific reactions in a controlled, clinical environment. This population of patients undergoing aspirin desensitization is ideal for studying metabolomics as serial blood sampling can be performed in patients before, during a reaction, and after aspirin desensitization, thereby allowing each patient to serve as his or her own biological control. The investigator hopes that this study of metabolomics will allow for better methods of identifying anaphylaxis in the future.

The purpose of this study is to establish an expected recovery trajectory (recovery model) in terms of physical and psychological function of the pediatric burn patient.
NCT00404248
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid (EM-1421), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of EM-1421 and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.
