This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The investigational drug used is MK-3475 (pembrolizumab). The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using only the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), alone first versus the combination of the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), and chemotherapy. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years and followed for up to 5 years from when they began taking part in the study.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Resectable Stages II and III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug in this study is durvalumab. The purpose of this study is to see if durvalumab will work and be safe for the treatment of resectable NSCLC. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 5 years.
This is a single-center pilot study at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TCP-EBUS scope (Thin EBUS). This study will consist of a standard of care bronchoscopy and will be followed for approximately 3 months. While the device is not FDA approved, it is the same technology but a thinner version of the SCP-EBUS bronchoscope.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out if a targeted immunotherapy treatment will have an effect on specific genes and proteins in tumors. This is a screening study in which a tumor sample will be submitted for testing. Based on results, the participant will be assigned to one of the treatment sub-studies.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).The investigational drug used in this study is CLN-081.
This study has 3 parts; Phase 1 Dose Escalation, Phase 1 Dose Expansion, and Phase 2a Dose Expansion:
-Phase 1 Dose Escalation: The main aim of this part of the study is to find a maximum tolerated dose for CLN-081. This will be done by slowly increasing the dose given to each participant or to small groups of participants until certain adverse effects are seen. All participants will be closely monitored by the study doctor and team. When the maximum tolerated dose has been found, it will be used in the subsequent parts of the study.
-Phase 1 Dose Expansion: In this part of the study more participants will receive the maximum tolerated dose to confirm the safety of this dose of the study medicine and to explore different dosing schedules, for example, taking the study medicine once a day versus twice a day.
-Phase 2a Dose Expansion: The main aim of this part of the study will be to see how well the study medicine works in reducing tumor size.
Participants can expect to be on this study for about 3 years.
The main objective of this study is to analyze sputum collected from the residue remaining from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedures to compare the cellular characteristics of BAL samples to those of sputum samples collected from the acapella® airway assist device. We intend to enroll volunteers who are being evaluated by an MUSC pulmonologist as part of their standard medical care. The Control Sputum sample will be collected by volunteers at home over a three day period using an acapella® airway assist device. The cellular profiles of the BAL and sputum samples will be analyzed by flow cytometry. Active participation in this study is expected to last less than one month and will be complete once a sample is obtained from the BAL procedure.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if including the investigational Nodify XL2 test results in the decision-making process when planning the management of lung nodules will reduce the number of unnecessary surgical and biopsy procedures. The general study procedures include obtaining blood samples for Nodify XL2 tests, collecting relevant medical information (including test results ordered by your doctor in the management of your lung nodule), and documenting your doctor's recommendations for the treatment of your lung nodule. Participation in this research study may last up to 18 months.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced or resistant skin cancer (melanoma), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain types of solid tumors, or bladder cancer (UBC). The investigational drug in this study is RP1. RP1 is a herpes simplex virus (a microscopic life form commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been genetically changed to grow in and destroy cancer cells. This treatment will be injected directly into tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and how well RP1 works when it is injected into certain types of solid tumors in combination with another cancer drug, called nivolumab. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 to 3 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using pembrolizumab plus the usual treatment. The investigational drug in this study is pembrolizumab. This drug, pembrolizumab is already approved by the FDA for use in patients with more advanced lung cancer. Participants can expect to be on treatment for up to a year. Participants will be followed for up to 10 years after completion of treatment.
