The purpose of this project is to study DNA and its connection to your health. DNA is in your blood, your saliva, and other tissues in your body. DNA is the unique instructions you are born with that tells your body how to work. By looking at DNA, you can learn information about your health, certain traits, and even your ancestral roots. DNA is also called your genetic information. DNA is mostly the same from person to person. But everyone's DNA is slightly different. We are still learning how DNA impacts health. This study will look at the DNA of many different people from many different backgrounds and compare it to information in their health records. The goal is to understand how learning about DNA can help improve health care for individuals, families, and the community.

Participants will provide a sample for DNA sequencing. Sequencing is the process of reading the letters of your DNA. This study may sequence your whole genome. Over time, you may be asked to provide additional samples for research purposes. The research team will collect health information about you from your medical record and may ask you questions about your health using surveys or other data collection method.

This study is for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.
This study will help the study doctors find out if taking R-mini-CHOP plus the study drug CC-486 (oral azacitidine) is better, the same, or worse than taking the R-mini-CHOP drug combination alone. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be comparing the drug combinations to see which drug combination allows more patients to have no disease symptoms at 1 year or more after the start of the study treatment and which drug combination extends the overall survival (how long people live) of patients at 5 years after the start of the study treatment.

This study is to find the causes of treatment failure in some HIV patients. Thus, HIV-infected patients under antiretroviral treatment and uninfected healthy controls will be recruited in this study to donate blood, urine, saliva, and nasal swab. Compensation will be paid for you to participate in this study.

The goal of this study is to determine the differences in severity and disparities of lupus in Black lupus patients, focusing on the highest risk group, Black females. We are interested in enrolling Black females with lupus as well as smaller numbers of White females with lupus, White females as Healthy Controls and Black males with lupus.

Study participation involves the collection of 4 tablespoons of blood. Patients with lupus will have their study participation during a standard of care (SOC) visit with their rheumatologist as part having routine blood drawn for their lupus care. After the initial study visit, patients with lupus may have an additional 2-3 visits. Controls will have a single study visit at the MUSC Nexus clinical research center.

This is not a clinical trial and does not involve study medications. Compensation is available for participation.

This study is designed to evaluate a new therapy formulation for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of Alpha-1 drugs (Alpha-1 15% and Liquid Alpha1-PI) in participants with AATD. Participants will be placed into one of two groups. Each group will receive both drugs at different points in the treatment period and because this is an "open label", study participants and the study staff know which dose of study drug participants receive. The study will last up to 486 days (16 months). Many visits are able to be conducted through home health care, lessening the need to come into the clinic.

Alpha-1 15% is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The other drug in this study is Liquid Alpha1-PI (licensed as Prolastin®-C Liquid) and is an FDA approved treatment for adults with emphysema due to AATD. However, it is only approved for the recommended dose of 60 mg/kg. This study includes both the FDA approved 60mg/kg of Liquid Alpha1-PI and an experimental dose of 120 mg/kg that is not FDA approved. Alpha-1 15% is given as an injection under the skin and Liquid Alpha1-PI is given as an infusion into the veins.

You may or may not directly benefit from participation. However, you may help advance scientific knowledge in the treatment of AATD. Currently, the only FDA approved treatment for AATD is IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI. Since the drug being studied, Alpha-1 15%, is injected with a small needle under your skin, there may be a benefit to future patients by providing flexibility of treatment route options as well as stability in serum alpha1-antitrypsin levels.

This study is enrolling participants with severe aortic stenosis, which is narrowing of one of the heart valves. This condition reduces the amount of blood that can get to the body. This study is collecting data on the safety and effectiveness of an investigational (not yet approved for commercial use by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration)) device called the ACURATE Aortic Valve System. The procedure to place the device, referred to as TAVR - transcatheter replacement of aortic valve is done in place of open heart surgery. In this study the ACURATE Aortic Valve System will be compared to two commercially available Aortic Valve Systems (valve replacement systems). Participants will be randomized (assigned by choice, like a flip of a coin, in a 1:1 fashion so 50% chance of being assigned to either group like the flip of a coin) to one of two groups. One group will receive the ACURATE Aortic Valve System while the other group will receive one of the commercially available systems. This study will last up to 10 years. Pre-procedure testing is done and reviewed by an eligibility committee to confirm you qualify. Study visits will occur prior to your procedure, during the procedure and throughout your hospital stay, and prior to discharge. Additional visits will occur 1 month and 6 months after your discharge, and then you will either seen or telephoned once per year for the next ten years. Study related testing includes CT scans, physical exams, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), blood work, and questionnaires.

This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study in pregnant women with cystic fibrosis (CF) to characterize forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) changes based on exposure to highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The key factors contributing to the change in lung function during pregnancy and for 2 years post-delivery will be evaluated along with assessment of fetal and maternal outcomes.
The total duration of participation for each participant is expected to be about 3 years (up to 35 months). Women will be enrolled in the first trimester of pregnancy and assessed every 3 months during pregnancy and during the first year after delivery, then every 6 months for an additional year. Over the course of the study, CF clinical data, patient-reported outcomes, questionnaires, obstetrical outcomes, infant growth, child development outcomes, baseline CF-related therapies and co-morbidities will be collected to enable evaluation of changes from before pregnancy to during pregnancy and post-delivery.
MAYFLOWERS participants will be provided an opportunity to participate in an optional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sub-study to evaluate glucose control in pregnancy. Participants will undergo CGM sensor placement and data collection as part of the MAYFLOWERS study.

VERIFY will validate biomarkers of upper extremity (UE) motor outcome in the acute ischemic stroke window for immediate use in clinical trials, and explore these biomarkers in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The central hypothesis is that patients have different UE outcomes depending on corticomotor system (CMS) function, measured as motor evoked potential (MEP) status with TMS, and on CMS structure, measured as acute lesion load with MRI. VERIFY will create the first multicenter, large-scale, prospective dataset of clinical, TMS, and MRI measures in the acute stroke time window.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JenaValve Trilogy™ Heart Valve System in a patient population with symptomatic severe Aortic regurgitation ( a condition where the heart's aortic valve does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber) requiring replacement/repair of their native aortic valve that are at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement/repair (SAVR).

Your involvement in this study will last approximately 5 years from the time of your procedure. The visits include: Screening/Baseline, Procedure, Pre-Discharge, 1 month, 6 months and annualy for 5 years

This study is for subjects with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has gotten worse or come back after two or more treatments. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved drug) study drug called loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402). Treatment will be administered intravenously or via tablet depending on the subject's assigned treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether the investigational drug combination of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with one of four other anti-cancer agents is a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Treatment will be assigned by a system in a sequence unless the subject has received the combination drug (the drug that is not locastuximab). This means the first enrolled subject will be assigned to arm C, the second to arm E, and so on. The subject will be seen approximately once a week during treatment, and may remain in the study for up to 3 years.
