Crohn's Disease
Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether Ozanimod is safe and effective for treating Crohn's disease. Adult participants (at least 18 years old) with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease may be eligible.

To do this, a comparison will be made between subjects who receive active drug and subjects who receive placebo (a ‘dummy treatment' that looks like the active drug but contains no active ingredient). The chance of being randomized (like drawing names out of a hat) into ozanimod group and receiving ozanimod is 50%. The chance of being randomized into placebo group and receiving placebo is 50%.

If participants' Crohn's disease condition get worse during the study, they will be invited to participate the open-label study, which has no placebo.

This is a one-year study, and participants are expected to come to MUSC every 8 weeks for study visits.

The effect of semaglutide in subjects with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Date Added

PRO Number

Researcher
Don Rockey

List of Studies


Keywords
Liver
Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out about the safety and effectiveness of an investigation drug called Semaglutide for the treatment of NASH. (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis). NASH occurs when the fat buildup in the liver leads to inflammation (hepatitis) and scarring. NASH is associated with increased risk of morbidity (medical problem or complication) and mortality (death). Currently, treatment options are few and insufficient. There is therefore an unmet medical need for effective and safe pharmacological treatment options. The study is designed to last 257 weeks (approximately 4 years and 11 months), with study visits occurring approximately every 4 weeks. Most visits will include blood work and some will include assessments such as body weight and vital signs. Most visits will include reviewing of diary entries during the course of the study. This study also includes weekly injections of semaglutide (or placebo). Semaglutide is a self-administered injection that is given under the skin. Semaglutide has built an extensive amount of data with other trials that have focused on weight management and Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is FDA-approved for diabetes treatment, but is investigational for this study. In these previous trials, semaglutide was found to be safe and well-tolerated. This study is randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled. This means that you may receive the study drug or a placebo. Neither the study subject or the study team members will know which each subject will be receiving. Study subjects will be randomized 2:1. This means that subjects will have a greater chance (66%) of receiving the drug versus the placebo.

Keywords

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has gotten worse or come back after treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Loncastuximab Tesirine. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine combined with rituximab compared to standard immunochemotherapy. The subject may remain in the study for up to 5 years, 28 days for screening period, a 16-25 week treatment period, and a follow-up period of 4 years.

A Phase 3 Global, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo‑Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ION-682884 in Patients with Transthyretin‑Mediated Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR CM)

PRO Number
Pro00110317
Researcher
Daniel Judge

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ION-682884 and determine if it can help people with transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) which is a disease caused by change in a protein called transthyretin (TTR). ION-682884 is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that ION-682884 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one and is considered experimental. ION-682884 has been shown to reduce the level of TTR in the blood of animals and healthy volunteers tested to date. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time. However, it is not known if ION-682884 will help your cardiomyopathy.

If you meet the requirements and agree to participate in this study, you will receive subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of either ION-682884 or placebo once every 4 weeks from week 1 through week 137.
Your participation in this study will last up to 36 months and will consist of clinic visits and follow up visits at home.

Evaluation of Trauma Center-Based, Technology-Enhanced Stepped Care Intervention for Adolescent Traumatic Injury

Summary

Pediatric traumatic injury is the leading cause of death and morbidity among US adolescents and are associated with mental health and health risk outcomes, including posttraumatic stress and depression, deficits in physical recovery, social functioning and quality of life, which if unaddressed, may contribute to increased use of health care services. In 2015 our team launched the Trauma Resilience and Recovery Program (TRRP) at Medical University of South Carolina, a scalable and sustainable, technology-enhanced, multidisciplinary stepped model of care – one of the few in the US - that provides early intervention and direct services to improve access to evidence-based mental health care after traumatic injury for children, adults and families. We have found this model of care to be feasible and acceptable to adolescent patients (ages 12-17) at each level of service. TRRP includes 3 major steps: (1) in-hospital education, brief risk reduction session, and tracking patients' emotional recovery via an automated text-messaging system, (2) a 30-day screen via telephone to identify patients who are good candidates for psychological treatment, and (3) providing referral to best-practice telehealth-based or in-person assessment and treatment. We have partnered with three accredited Level I and II pediatric trauma centers, Prisma-Health Upstate, Children's of Alabama, and Boston Children's Hospital, and propose a multi-site hybrid 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial with 300 adolescent (ages 12-17) traumatic injury patients to assess the extent to which TRRP promotes improvement in quality of life and emotional recovery and gather preliminary data on the potential for TRRP to be implemented in other Level I trauma centers. This study will provide valuable data on the efficacy, preliminary effectiveness and potential for implementation of an innovative, cost-effective, sustainable technology-enhanced intervention designed to address the unique needs of adolescent injury patients and mitigate short- and long-term impact of injury on mental health, quality of life, and overall well-being.

Long-Term Nicotine Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment

Researcher
Jacobo Mintzer

List of Studies


Keywords
Aging, Alzheimers, Brain, Dementia, Drug Studies, Memory Loss
Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if daily use of nicotine patches will slow or reverse memory loss in participants with Mild cognitive impairment, an early stage of mental decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. Nicotine may mimic natural chemicals in the brain that play a crucial role in memory function, and previous studies have shown that nicotine may improve attention, learning, and memory. In this study, participants will receive either nicotine (up to 21mg/day, the standard dosage of a nicotine patch) or placebo for 2 years to see if these improvements in brain function can be observed over a longer period.
