This study is evaluating the use of a new technique in ablation of ventricular tachycardia. During a heart procedure called an ablation, doctors must map the heart to find the small areas causing the abnormal rhythm. The study compares two different mapping methods: the standard high-density voltage mapping and a newer method called ILAM, which may help doctors find the problem areas more quickly and precisely. If you join the study, you will be randomly placed—like flipping a coin—into one of the two mapping groups during your procedure. Both methods are already FDA-approved and used for treating VT. You will also have several follow-up visits over 12 months so the study team can check your heart rhythm, device activity (if you have one), and overall health. The goal is to learn whether the newer ILAM method works better or just as well as the standard approach for treating VT.

This research study is being done to evaluate a heart valve called the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve, which may help treat people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve becomes too narrow to open properly. You are being asked to participate because your doctor believes you may benefit from a less-invasive valve replacement instead of open-heart surgery. The study will compare the Navitor valve to other FDA-approved transcatheter valves to see how safe and effective it is for people at low or intermediate surgical risk. The Navitor is considered investigational, meaning it is not yet approved in this population, by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participation may last up to 10 years and involve up to 14 visits, some of which may be done remotely. If you join the study, you will have screening tests, the valve procedure, and regular follow-up visits for several years to check your heart health and how well the valve is working. The risks of participating are similar to those of standard transcatheter valve procedures, such as bleeding, stroke, heart rhythm changes, or infection. While you may experience symptom relief and improved heart function, personal benefit is not guaranteed. Your participation may also help improve future treatment options for patients with aortic stenosis.

This study is for patients diagnosed with unresectable locally recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study is to test if adding an investigational drug called amivantamab to the usual chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is more effective in treating head and neck cancer when compared to being treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel alone. Carboplatin and paclitaxel are FDA approved to treat head and neck cancers; however, adding the study drug, amivantamab, is still being investigated and is not approved by the FDA.

Patients may participate in this study for up to 2 years. Procedures include CT, MRI, blood tests, chemotherapy, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 3 months. There will be about 50 people taking part in this study, approximately 3 participants will be enrolled at MUSC.

Risks include constipation, nausea, rash, vomiting, swelling of arms and/or legs. Participants 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 phase II trial tests how well biomarker tests on patients tumor tissue works in selecting personalized treatments for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). This study also tests different types of maintenance treatment for ES-SCLC with drugs durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab. Maintenance treatment is given after initial treatment and is given to help keep the cancer under control and prevent it from getting worse. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and monalizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Saruparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP may prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor cell growth. Giving biomarker selected personalized maintenance treatment with durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab may work better in treating patients with ES-SCLC.

This study is testing a new medicine called Visugromab (CTL-002) to see if it helps people with a type of lung cancer called metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Everyone in the study will get standard cancer treatment, but some will also get Visugromab while others get a placebo (a look-alike with no active drug), and who gets what is decided randomly—like flipping a coin. The goal is to find out if Visugromab makes the treatment more effective and safe. The study will last up to two years, with Treatment in cycles lasting 3 weeks, about once a month. Researchers will closely monitor participants to see how well the treatment works and how their bodies respond. Serious risks of treatment may include heart problems, low oxygen levels, infections, organ failure, and inflammation in various parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, intestines, pancreas, and thyroid.

The purpose of the study is to learn more about an experimental drug called ORC-13661 that may be helpful in treating hearing loss due to antibiotic use. The study is researching whether the drug is safe and tolerable, and trying to find out whether the drug may be able to mitigate or prevent hearing loss in patients being treated with intravenous (IV) amikacin. Participation in the study will consist of up to 10 visits over up to 129 days. The Day 1 visit (following the screening visit) will last up to 8 hours, while other visits will last up to 5 hours Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ORC-13661at a higher dose or a lower dose or a placebo (a pill that looks the same as the study drug but has no real medicine in it), for up to 90 days to be taken along with IV amikacin. Participants will be asked to have a number of tests and procedures, which include questionnaires about family, medical, and hearing history, physical and hearing examination, and assessments of hearing.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) in people with certain types of breast cancer who will have surgery to remove their breast cancer. This trial will compare two treatment plans that patients will receive before their surgery. One of these treatment plans will involve patients receiving Sac-TMT and pembrolizumab (pembro), followed by chemotherapy and pembro. Patients enrolled in the other treatment plan will receive chemotherapy and pembro. Patients will be given the drug intravenously (a needle in a vein). Patients may experience a decrease in white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells (anemia). Patients are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 30 months or longer. There will be a total of 12 patients locally enrolled.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how the oral microbiome (bacteria in the mouth) may be associated with different neurologic conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. This will require one visit, typically less than an hour. We will collect some information about the subject's past medical history including dental history as well as collect saliva and perform a nasal swab. This will also include a measure of genetics. There will be an optional blood collection. Samples will also be stored for future research.

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase IIIb study comparing remibrutinib tablets with dupilumab injections in adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) that is not well controlled by second-generation H1-antihistamines. Participants will receive either remibrutinib or dupilumab for 12 weeks, alongside their usual antihistamine. The goal is to see which treatment works faster and better at reducing symptoms like hives and itching. If remibrutinib is not yet available commercially after the study, participants may continue taking it in an optional extension phase.

This study is a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled research study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a skin patch treatment for peanut allergy in children ages 1 to 3. The patch delivers a very small amount of peanut protein through the skin and is designed to help the immune system become less sensitive to peanuts over time.

Participation in the study will last approximately 34 weeks. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time.
