The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative total knee or hip pain when combined with a Cognitive-Behavioral intervention (CBI).

This new medical technology, is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), it uses a very small amount of electricity to temporarily stimulate specific areas of the brain thought to be involved in pain reduction. The electrical current passes through the skin, scalp, hair, and skull and requires no additional medication, sedation, or needles.

This study will investigate the effects of tDCS, the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) intervention and their combination on pain among veterans following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). You may benefit in the form of decreased pain and opioid requirements following your knee or hip replacement surgery. However, benefit is only likely if you are randomized to one of the 3 (out of 4) groups.

This study hopes to determine the effects of these interventions and their combined effect on post-operative pain, opioid use and functioning during the 48-hour post-operative period following a total knee or hip replacement.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma that has progressed (become worse) after at least 2 prior treatments.

The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug MK2870-015. This is a phase 3 study; MK2870-015 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, MUGA scans and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, weight loss, high blood sugar, and sore throat. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer? ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA that has been released from tumor cells into your bloodstream. This DNA can be measured using a blood test.

This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer.

Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include blood samples, tissue samples, and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, loss of appetite, tingling or pain in hands/feet/arms/legs, and anemia. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to the usual treatment plus nivolumab. This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer. Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include CT or MRI scans and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, anemia, sores in mouth, and muscle weakness. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

Cutaneous lupus is a common manifestation of childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (cSLE), affecting up to 85% of patients. Skin involvement can cause irritation, scarring, hair loss, changes in skin color and appearance, which may negatively impact quality of life and mental health. This study aims to assess the impact of cutaneous lupus on quality of life and mental health in diverse pediatric populations, with the goal of identifying disparities and improving individualized care. We will use validated surveys to assess disease burden on quality of life.

The overall goal of this study is to learn how to best support teens with CHD to improve their health and quality of life. Adolescents with moderately and severely complex CHD experience considerable risk of mental health comorbidities. Psychological health is important to cardiovascular health and related outcomes. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a well-being focused telemedicine intervention in adolescents with CHD. The study is to learn if the WE BEAT program helps teens with CHD improve their ability to cope with stress and anxiety. The study will also create a data bank to study connections between mental health, heart health and biomarkers (hair, saliva, urine, blood samples).

This study is recruiting pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). RMS is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body. The goal of the study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of giving less chemotherapy drugs to people with very low risk-RMS to find out which is better. Patients will be separated into two groups based on their tumor type: Low Risk and Very Low Risk. Participants in the Low Risk group will receive Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide. Participants in the Low Risk group will receive Vincristine and Dactinomycin. All participants will be tested for genetic differences (called MYOD1 and TP53). If any participant is found to have these genetic differences, they will receive Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue (tiredness). Participants will receive the medications through an IV in their arm. Study participation is expected to last up to one year.

This study is for patients diagnosed with recurrent/persistent PD-LI enriched squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and undergoing salvage surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment of surgery alone, to using chemotherapy (cisplatin and paclitaxel) or chemo-immunotherapy [carboplatin and paclitaxel with cemiplimab (REGN2810)] plus the usual treatment.

Carboplatin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and cemiplimab are FDA approved to treat head and neck cancers. This study seeks to answer if adding chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy before surgery extends the length of time without your cancer returning compared to the surgery alone.

Patients may participate in this study for up to 3 years. Procedures surgery, blood tests, chemotherapy, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 3 months. There will be about 180 people taking part in this study, approximately x participants will be enrolled at MUSC.

Risks include hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, infection, and fever. Participants may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
