the United States, it is standard treatment for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NBL) to receive the drugs carboplatin, etoposide and melphalan (CEM) as the preparative regimen in Consolidation therapy prior to Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). BuMel Consolidation therapy has recently been studied in patients with high-risk NBL in some European countries. The findings from those studies indicate that the use of BuMel prior to ASCT may be linked to an increase in the survival rate for patients when compared to CEM. Those studies also indicate that the chance of the disease coming back (a relapse) may be lower among the patients who received BuMel Consolidation therapy. In North America the BuMel combination is considered experimental. In this study, researchers want to find out if a combination of busulfan and melphalan (BuMel) can be given as Consolidation therapy prior to ASCT for subjects with newly diagnosed high-risk NBL. The main goal of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, a BuMel preparative regimen given before ASCT has on people with newly diagnosed high-risk NBL.
PEPPER is a randomized study comparing the three most commonly used blood thinners in North America in patients who have elected to undergo primary or revision hip or knee joint replacement surgery. The blood thinners being compared are enteric coated aspirin, low intensity warfarin, and rivaroxaban.
The purpose of this research study is to develop a better understanding of the cause and natural history of vascular anomalies and related syndromes. This study is being done in order to develop a better understanding of the cause of vascular anomalies in order to to improve care for people who are affected by these anomalies and related syndromes.
This study is being done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) and other sites in North America and Europe. A total of about 1000 people will participate in this study. About 20 – 30 people will take part in the study here at the Medical University of South Carolina.
This is a prospective, observational research study for patients with IBD under the care of a gastroenterologist provider. The objective of the Corrona Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Registry is to create a national cohort of patients with IBD.The diseases under study include Crohn's Disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Indeterminate Colitis (IC). Data collected will be used to better characterize the natural history of the disease and to extensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications approved for the treatment of IBD .Approximately 10,000 patients and 150 clinical sites in North America will be recruited to participate with no defined upper limit for either target. The Corrona IBD Registry is a long-term observational study; therefore, the duration of the registry has no pre-determined stop date.

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study in an international setting (North America, Europe, and Israel) to follow clinical outcomes for patients with complex fistulizing conditions for 24 months after undergoing surgical intervention to treat the index fistula. During participation, standardized data on exposure and outcomes (clinical, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU)) will be collected from electronic data capture forms (EDCs). Following the surgical intervention for the fistulizing condition (index date), outcomes will be assessed at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-surgery (post-index).
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.
This trial is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ensifentrine inhalation suspension administered via nebulization (3 mg BID) compared to placebo in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE). Approximately 180 eligible subjects meeting all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will participate at approximately 45 sites in North America, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Only subjects completing the Screening Period, meeting all inclusion, meeting no exclusion criteria, and meeting none of the randomization exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive blinded study medication: ensifentrine or placebo. The study has 3 periods: a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks, or 28 days), a Study Treatment Period (24 weeks or longer), and a Follow-up Period (4 to 10 days after your last dose of the study drug).
J2T-MC-B002 (B002) examines the effectiveness of lebrikizumab in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). This study involves adult and adolescent patients suffering from eczema, which is characterized by inflammation, redness, and irritation of the skin. Participants will complete symptom assessments during their visits and will schedule appointments within specific timeframes. The study will also observe skin lesions using clinical measures. Participants will remain in the study for up to two years, even if their therapies change, to track disease progression with or without lebrikizumab. This observational study aims to record real-world treatment outcomes for the analysis of lebrikizumab in AD therapy.
