This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of an inhibitor treatment called bomedemstat. Bomedemstat is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment. The main purpose of the study is to how bomedemstat compares to BAT (best available therapy) as an effective treatment for ET. The study will enroll approximately 300 patients who will be randomly assigned 1:1 (like flipping a coin) to either bomedemstat or BAT. The study includes a screening phase, initial treatment phase, extended treatment phase, and posttreatment phase. The initial treatment portion of the study begins on study Day 1 and continues until the participant completes treatment at Week 52. The primary endpoint analysis will be performed on data from the first 52 weeks of treatment. Patients who have not discontinued study treatment at Week 52 will be eligible to continue receiving study treatment in the Extended Treatment Phase for up to Week 156. Patients in the BAT arm who have received a minimum of 52 weeks of treatment and discontinued study treatment due to intolerance/resistance/refractoriness/inadequate response (defined by the investigator as per the local product labels of BAT regimens) may be eligible to switch to the bomedemstat arm during the Extended Treatment Phase at the investigator's discretion (as per protocol defined eligibility to receive bomedemstat). Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

This study is an open label, Comparative Effectiveness Research study in patients who receive a heart transplant. Subjects will be enrolled into the study while under evaluation for heart transplantation or on the transplant waiting list prior to heart transplantation. All subjects will follow the center's standard of care surveillance schedule from transplant through 4 weeks post-transplantation. The study objective is to compare the effectiveness of rejection surveillance of heart transplant recipients with Prospera dd-cfDNA to rejection surveillance with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in the first post-transplant year.
The Prospera™ test is a non-invasive test intended to detect and quantify the fraction of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) to supplement management and surveillance of allograft rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplantation. The subjects may undergo blood draws, echocardiogrphys, medical history and physical exams, antibody testing, nuclear imaging, and MRI as apart of the study. The study period will be during the first 12 months post-transplant. Quality of life questionnaires will be completed at week 4, month 6 and month 12 post-transplant.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with subjects with c-Met over-expressed refractory metastatic colorectal cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended ABBV-400 dose when ABBV-400 is given alone (monotherapy) in Stage 1, and to assess if ABBV-400 monotherapy is a safe and effective treatment compared to the standard of care (SOC) LONSURF [Trifluridine and Tipiracil] plus Bevacizumab in subjects with c-Met overexpressed (level of c-Met protein in your tumor cells is increased) uncontrolled metastatic colorectal cancer in Stage 2 of the study plan.

This is a phase 3 study; ABBV-400 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, MUGA scans and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, muscle aches, and joint pain. 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.

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have myelofibrosis who have never had a JAK inhibitor. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a tumor protein inhibitor treatment called navtemadlin combined with another tumor protein inhibitor called ruxolitinib. Navtemadlin is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment, Ruxolitinib is FDA approved. The main purpose of the study is to see if navtemadlin combined with ruxolitinib is an effective treatment for myelofibrosis. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients with each patient initially receiving ruxolitinib. The study includes a screening period, run-in period, and a randomized (like flipping a coin) add-on period. The first two periods will be over the course of 18-24 weeks while the randomized add-on period is for those whose treatment with ruxolitinib is not effective enough and will last for a different amount of time for each patient. In the run-in period after screening, patients will take ruxolitinib at the dose determined by their study doctor for 18-24 weeks. If treatment with ruxolitinib alone is not effective, the participate will be randomized into one of two groups. In the randomized add-on period, participants will either receive ruxolitinib with navtemadlin 240 mg or a matching placebo (a pill that contains no medicine) daily for one week out of the 28-day cycle in combination with ruxolitinib at a dose determined by their study doctor. Patients in this group will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

This study is for subjects diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to assess if treatment with Mosunetuzumab can improve long term remission in patients with low tumor burden follicular lymphoma compared to rituximab. The treatment period for the Rituximab arm is approximately 40 weeks. The treatment period for the Mosunetuzumab arm is approximately 24 weeks. However the subject may remain in the study for up to 10 years for the follow-up period.

This study is seeking to assess two known risk factors of drowning, swimming ability and water safety knowledge, in parents of children and adolescents presenting to the pediatric emergency department using questionnaires.

By collecting this data, we hope to highlight factors that contribute to disparities in drowning rates in minority racial and ethnic groups and to aid local and federal governments in developing programs that effectively combat the number one cause of unintentional injury-associated death in children ages 1-4 years. This will also provide data that may help guide pediatricians in effective anticipatory guidance for families regarding water safety. All in the effort to minimize disparities in medicine and provide more equitable care to the patients that we see.

Current surgical treatments for Parkinson's disease have associated risks that may prevent patients from being offered surgery called "deep brain stimulation" or DBS. This is mainly because electrodes have to be placed through brain tissue to reach the target. Stimulation at the surface of the brain might be a potential alternative, but current research has not shown consistent results, and this may be because the mechanism of action is not clear. In this study, we aim to stimulate and record the brain at the surface to help answer this question and potentially improve the consistency and effectiveness of this treatment.

The purpose of this research study is to learn how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which targets a part of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus (STN), may affect thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). We plan to include about 55 people with PD who have already had DBS surgery at MUSC's Clinical DBS Program.

As part of the study, participants will attend two visits after their DBS surgery. The first visit, which will last about three hours, includes going over the study information and consent form, collecting background information (demographics), and completing tests that measure thinking and memory (cognitive assessments). The second visit, also about three hours, will involve an MRI scan to look at how the brain's networks change when the DBS device is turned on and off.

These findings may help doctors and researchers make better decisions about which patients are most likely to benefit from DBS surgery and how to choose the best stimulation settings to reduce unwanted changes in thinking and memory.

The purpose of the study is to examine whether certain neck strengthening exercises result in change in size of the neck muscles being targeted.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a non invasive, safe tool that will be used to measure the size of certain muscles in your neck. This will allow us to determine if these muscles actually get bigger in response to targeted exercise. Muscle size is a factor associated with strength.

This study will help us tease out the time it takes to create neck muscle hypertrophy, or increase in muscle size, in order to develop effective protocols for neck strengthening which may be useful in the management of chronic neck pain.

Weakness in certain neck muscles may be associated with the development of neck pain and we hope to determine effective training protocols for these neck muscle groups.

This is a non-invasive, observational study aiming to collect data on the impact chest tubes have on inpatients during their hospitalizations. Sleep and activity patterns, as well as select vital signs will be tracked using an MUSC-owned Apple Watch, which subjects will wear, and an MUSC-owned iPhone, for up to seven days during admission to the hospital. Each day, a study coordinator will visit subjects to collect a brief sleep survey. Participation may last up to 7 days while subjects are admitted and have a chest tube in place. Upon completion of the study, a study coordinator will collect the Apple Watch and iPhone for data analysis.

This pilot data will provide initial information on the feasibility of collecting and performing a larger study on the inpatient mobility, activity, and sleep.
