Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with platinum-resistant, high-grade ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who have received at least 1 and no more than 3 prior systemic lines of anticancer therapy. The investigational drug used in this study is Raludotatug Deruxtecan (R-DXd). 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 optimal dose of R-DXd for further clinical development. In Phase 3, participants will be randomized between R-DXd and investigator's choice of chemotherapy. Randomization is like flipping a coin, essentially meaning that each option has an equal likelihood of being selected. The drug is given to participants through infusion. Participants can continue to receive the study drug until it no longer gives them benefit. Researchers will continue to follow up with patients long-term.

Summary

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.

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart, Transplant
Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Researcher
Daniel Lench

List of Studies

Keywords
Brain, Parkinsons
Summary

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) and speech. 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. Participants have the option to combine visits 1 and 2. Participant's will also be invited to undergo an optional second scan. If participants consent, the second scan will be performed on a separate day than the first scan and therefore, there will be a total of 3 study visits.

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.

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction meaning the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This study is researching an investigational device (study device) called the Alleviant ALV1 System. Investigational means it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) This study will test the safety and effectiveness of the Alleviant ALV1 System. The Alleviant ALV1 System is intended to create a shunt (an opening) in the heart to allow for proper blood flow through the heart which may improve your symptoms. No device is left in your heart it is just used to create the shunt. This is a randomized study which means subjects are assigned by chance to either have the study device create this shunt or not have the study device create the shunt. Randomization is 50/50 meaning there is a 50% chance to have the study device create a shunt and a 50% chance the study device will not be used. Using the study device to create the shunt is performed during a right heart catheterization (RHC) so all subjects will undergo the RHC but only 50% will have the shunt. Neither the subjects nor the study doctor will know which group subjects are randomized to but other study staff will know in the event this information is needed. All subjects will stay overnight in the hospital after the procedure. Other study related procedures include echocardiograms - ultrasound test of the heart, electrocardiograms (ECG) - a tracing of the heart's electrical activity, blood work, questionnaires, 6 minute hall walk test, and assessments of heart failure status. Risks include risks related to the study device including blood vessel damage from placing the device in the vein to get to the heart, risks from the right heart catheterization such as bleeding or bruising, abnormal heart beats, and risks related to study related procedures. There may be risks that are not known at this time. Participation in this study is expected to last about 60 months and include approximately 15 in person visits and 3 telephone calls.
