This study is investigating the drug, called mosliciguat, for the treatment of PH-ILD. Participation in the study may last for about 4 ½ years, although the actual time of participation may be shorter or longer. Part 1 of the study will take about 6 months. Part 2 of the study could last up to about 4 years. During the study, participants will be required to make clinic visits in person and at times will need to meet with study staff over the phone/video. At some of the clinic visits, participants will have blood drawn and have procedures to test their lungs and heart function. Participants will be randomly assigned to get mosliciguat or placebo in Part 1. In Part 2, all participants will get mosliciguat. Approximately 120 people will participate in this study.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of ABBV-383 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. ABBV-383 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study is broken into 2 Arms; Arm A (Parts 1 and 2) and Arm B. Arm A includes 2 parts: step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 (Dose A) will be used followed by the target dose A of ABBV-383. In Arm B a flat dose of ABBV-383 will be tested. Around 120 adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites across the world. Participants will receive ABBV-383 as an infusion into the vein in 28 day cycles for approximately 3 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.

This study is designed to learn more about the effects of Petosemtamab, an investigational drug not FDA approved, compared to standard of care treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has been previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receiving petosemtamab or one of the three standard of care choices. In the follow up period the side effects after completion of petosemtamab administration or assigned standard of care treatment will be evaluated. Also, approximately every 12 weeks after study treatment stopped, either petosemtamab or assigned standard of care, participants will receive a phone call for long term follow-up for up to 1.5 years. Participation in this study may last up to two years. The participants will complete questionnaires to evaluate the differences in the quality of life for participants that received petosemtamab versus standard of care treatment. Some serious risk related to this study are infusion related reactions, rash and diarrhea. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well Petosemtamab works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a condition in which the body does not make enough of AAT, a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage. This condition is inherited, meaning you get the faulty gene from one or both of your parents.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of oral administration of BMN 349 in adult participants with the PiZZ genotype (also defined as having a severe deficiency or AAT ≤ 60mg/dL) or PiMZ genotype with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Participants will receive an oral single dose of BMN 349 (250 mg), a medication designed to assist Z-alpha-1 antitrypsin to get out of the liver cell. The study drug BMN 349 has not been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a phase 1 study in which participants will get a single pill dose of drug or placebo to measure the amount of alpha-1 that gets out of the liver cells and into the bloodstream. Study details include:
• Study duration: up to 78 days
• Treatment duration: 1 day (single dose).
• Observations: The study will collect data on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram readings, clinical laboratory parameters, pulmonary function tests, and drug distribution.
• Visit frequency: The Screening Visit, dosing, and post dosing evaluations will be conducted at MUSC on 3 consecutive days. Visits at days 8 and 36 days will occur at study site. Other procedures/assessments may be performed at the study site or at home by a healthcare professional and/or by telemedicine.

We are looking to examine the various factors that contribute to the changes seen with Physical Therapy for chronic neck pain. These factors include the components of care involving the way a patient perceives their pain or disability, as well as the interaction with their care giver, which contribute to the effect of the Physical Therapy (PT) treatment. The study will assign subjects to one of three groups. The first group will receive a manual therapy treatment approach, the second will receive a simulated manual therapy treatment approach and the third will receive no treatment and act as a waitlist control. This design will allow us to tease out the effects of the treatment itself compared with the other factors which may contribute to change as well as any improvement which occurs as result of natural history. You will be seen for an initial assessment where you will complete surveys and measurements will be performed looking at how far you can move and the way that you move your neck. You will then be seen for 3 additional visits weekly over the next three weeks if you are assigned to the manual therapy or simulated manual therapy group. You will be seen for an initial visit and a follow up after three weeks if you are assigned to the waitlist/control group. All groups will complete the surveys and have repeat measurements performed at the final follow up visit.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive, HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BCA101. This is a phase 2 study; BCA101 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, mouth sore, nose bleed, headache, and skin rash. 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 the clinical efficacy of a novel, bioresorbable hydrogel sheet and wetting solution, VersaWrap®, in surgeries of the foot and ankle. This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled case series with patients identified by the Investigator in his practice. Patients who are scheduled to have procedures of the Achilles tendon will be reviewed to determine if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. If eligible, patients may be enrolled in the study, and the operative surgeon will use VersaWrap® during the procedure. Patients are considered enrolled when VersaWrap® is placed intraoperatively. VersaWrap® has received its FDA 510(k) clearance. Enrollment is expected to take approximately 1-2 years. All subjects will be followed for 1 year post-operatively for a total study duration of approximately 3 years. Study follow-up visits will occur at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Patients enrolled in this study are receiving a standard of care surgical procedure (with or
without VersaWrap) and therefore there is no increased risk of the surgical procedure when participating in the study. The study collects patient data, and therefore there is a risk data privacy loss. Patients will also receive remuneration for their participation.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how practicing a new skill builds a stable memory and how this memory is maintained over time as one gets older. A better understanding how memories are controlled in healthy aging may help to develop better treatments for memory problems.
The study's main question is how the different brain regions communicate with each other when one is retrieving memories of a well-practiced skill. Specifically, when and where the brain waves that are related to skill memory are produced. The brief changes in the brain will be recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a medical technology that looks at blood flow in the brain. To assess electrical changes in the brain, the brain waves, electroencephalography (EEG) will be used. Combining EEG and fMRI will allow the precise detection of the exact location where the brain is active at any moment in time.
This study is conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The study will take about one to two weeks and involves two visits to MUSC including an interview and combined brain recording and brain scan during task practice (EEG-fMRI) and up to 7 days of online skill practice at home. Volunteers in this research study must be free of any brain disease or brain injuries and have to be in good health status. Approximately 40 volunteers will take part in this study.

This study is to evaluate an investigational study drug, itepekimab, for the treatment of bronchiectasis. The main purpose for this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of itepekimab in bronchiectasis in addition to the current background treatment you are receiving which may include bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, mucolytics, and/or maintenance antibiotics. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo if you participate in this research. This study will include about 300 participants with bronchiectasis across approximately 20 countries worldwide.

IgAN is a progressive condition that causes chronic kidney disease. Over time, some patients develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplant.

The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational medication is safe and effective in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.

If you are eligible for the study and decide to participate, you will come to MUSC for study visits for about 3 years. These visits will involve blood and urine samples, questions about your health, EKGs, and physical exams. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a weight-based IV infusion of ravulizumab or placebo for 106 weeks. Depending on your response to initial treatment, there is a possibility of additional treatment. An exploratory, open-label cohort of approximately 20 participants with eGFR 20-29 mL/min/1.73m2 may also be enrolled to expand the evidence of ravulizumab in participants with advanced kidney impairment at high risk for ESKD progression.

There is no guarantee that being in this study will help you. There is no cost to participate and compensation is available for the study visits.
