This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cervical cancer. This study is testing an investigational drug called pembrolizumab. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A computer will be used to assign you to one of the study groups. This process is called "randomization." Like flipping a coin, everyone has an equal chance of being placed in any group. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether induction immunotherapy (IO) and chemotherapy prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (CCRT+IO) improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared to CCRT+IO alone. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be on the study for 7 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with diagnosed with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study is testing investigational drugs called pumitamig."Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), of pumitamig administered in combination with ipilimumab or cabozantinib. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for about 4 years.
This is a descriptive study designed to determine the proportion of women who are sexually active after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, with particular focus on those aged 65 and older. Because sacrocolpopexy carries certain risks—especially in older women—but also preserves vaginal length and may improve sexual function, understanding post-surgical sexual activity can help clinicians counsel patients when choosing between reconstructive surgeries, which preserve vaginal length, and obliterative surgeries, which do not. The study also aims to better understand patient values in surgical decision-making related to sexual activity. Women who had sacrocolpopexy at MUSC since January 1, 2015 will be contacted to complete two questionnaires: one assessing sexual activity and satisfaction with surgery, and one assessing sexual function using an adapted PISQ-IR questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics to examine the proportion of sexually active women in groups under 65 versus 65 and older, as well as to compare their sexual function outcomes.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer (or gastroesophageal cancer), head and neck squamous cell cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, or cervical cancer. The study is testing and investigational drug called NRM-823. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NRM-823 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study drug is given as an injection into the stomach (or another place, like the thigh). An injection is like a shot between the skin and muscle so that the drug can enter your body. Participants can expect to be on this study until the first radiographic disease progression.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with diagnosed with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers that express high levels of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein and that have a genetic characteristic known as mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR). The study is testing investigational drugs called Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) and Rilvegostomig. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purposed of this study is to learn more about whether T-DXd with Rilvegostomig or Pembrolizumab works better and is safe for the treatment of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers that express the HER2 protein in high levels and that have a genetic characteristic known as mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR), when compared to chemotherapy. The study drugs are given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for as long as you are receiving benefit from the treatment.
This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an investigational drug called zilovertamab vedotin. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the study, participants will be randomized to two different groups (like flipping a coin). The first group will receive zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone]. The second group will receive the standard care regimen: polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. The drugs will be given through an IV, and prednisone may be given to participants by mouth. The primary purpose of the study is to learn if zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP is safe and effective for treating DLBCL. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to 5.5 years. The first six months will be participation in treatment, and the following five years will be follow-up.
This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy and the patients' own (autologous) stem cells to observation only in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who achieved a complete response after initial chemotherapy. Participants will be separated into two groups, or randomized (like flipping a coin). The first group of participants will receive high dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Stem cells removed prior to treatment are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. The second group will be observed by the study doctor and study team with check-ins every six months for 12 years after joining the trial. The group of participants who receive a stem cell transplant will also be checked by their doctor and study team for every 6 months for 12 years after joining the study. The main risks of the study treatment include reduced blood cell counts, nausea and vomiting, and damage to other organs (due to high dose chemotherapy).
This study is for participants that have been diagnosed with Intermediate or High-risk Primary or Secondary Myelofibrosis. This study is testing an investigational drug called Nuvisertib. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nuvisertib. Nuvisertib is an oral PIM1 selective inhibitor. A PIM1 selective inhibitor is a drug that specifically targets and blocks the activity of the PIM-1 kinase, an enzyme implicated in cancer cell growth. This drug is given to participants by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in the treatment phase of this study for 19 months and the long term follow up phase for 3 years.
This is an open-label pilot study firstly assessing safety and feasibility of a form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular neuromodulation, or tAN, in women with postpartum depression (PPD). Secondly, we will be assessing the impact of at-home tAN on mood, empathy, and physiological markers of sympathetic activity in women with PPD. Participants will learn how to self-administer ear stimulation treatments in the lab before starting the at-home study. Over the course of one week, participants will self-administer ear stimulation treatments three times a day. Each treatment will last up to 60 minutes (1 hour) and there will be a break of at least 30 minutes in between treatments. The study team will ask participants to complete a group of questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study, as well as undergo heart rate variability (HRV) assessments and provide salivary samples. There will also be a smaller number of questionnaires completed electronically at the midpoint of the study. The questionnaires will ask questions about mental health symptoms that subjects may or may not be experiencing, including questions about mood, anxiety, and feelings towards their newborn.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors with tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation/loss with or without brain metastasis. This study is testing an investigational drug called AO-252. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase II does (RP2D), and the safety profile of AO-252. The drug is given to participants orally. Participants can expect to be on this study for approximately 24 months, followed by a 12-month follow-up period.
