Summary

This phase III study evaluates whether a new drug, dostarlimab, can delay or reduce the risk of cancer returning when administered for a year, shortly after receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT). This study will enroll adults diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are treated with CRT. This study is divided into three parts: the screening period begins shortly after CRT and lasting 4-6 weeks where tests will be conducted to determine eligibility, followed by a 12-month treatment period where participants will receive either dostarlimab or an inactive substance (salt solution) with no effect on your body (placebo), and a follow up period when they will continue to be assessed to see if their cancer has returned or gotten worse. Participants may be on the study for approximately up to 5 years in total. The main risks are anaemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Alternatives to this treatment is standard of care CRT because for this type of head and neck cancer, at the present time, there are no other approved therapies administered shortly after CRT that may prevent or delay the return of the cancer. The study benefit is dostarlimab may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore whether a non-invasive form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can manage symptoms in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Additionally, this study also uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to capture images of participants' brains and apply an image processing method called INSCAPE to track brain state changes during taVNS treatment in ASD. We will recruit up to 16 participants with ASD.

Prospective Placebo-Controlled Trial of Intramuscular Steroid Administration for the Treatment of Unexplained Chronic Cough

Researcher

Keywords

Summary

This study is being done to see if injections in different locations can help to minimize chronic cough. This is done through the injection of an anti-inflammatory medication (steroid) into your upper arm muscle. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes. There has not yet been a study completed using arm muscle injections. The safety profile of arm muscle injections is expected to be the same as the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) injection which is in the neck is already used at MUSC in regular practice. This is the same medication and the same dosage as the arm injection in this study. By better understanding if this treatment helps improve chronic cough, an additional treatment option could be utilized for this patient population. SLN injections are usually only performed by fellowship trained laryngologists (an extra specialized year of training after ENT residency). However, if arm muscle injections are found to be equivalent in treating chronic cough, general ENT physicians could likely provide this treatment to their patients without the need to see a specialized laryngologist. This study will evaluate safety and effectiveness of the arm muscle injection. Steroids are investigational for the purpose of this study.

A PHASE III, OPEN-LABEL, MULTICENTER, RANDOMIZED STUDY EVALUATING GLOFITAMAB AS A SINGLE AGENT VERSUS INVESTIGATOR'S CHOICE IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma that has spread and has not responded to treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called glofitamab. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of glofitamab (experimental arm) versus bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) or rituximab plus lenalidomide (R-Len;the control arm) on subjects with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Your total time in the study and the number of assessments in the follow up visits, will depend on how your MCL responds to study treatment. This could range from 1 day to more than 24 months. The screening period may last up to 28 days (4 weeks) and may involve more than one visit to the clinic.

Pilot Test of an Innovative Implementation Strategy to Improve Reach, Quality, and Equity in Child Maltreatment Prevention

Summary

Millions of children are victims of maltreatment each year in the United States. Research on home visiting programs show that child maltreatment can be prevented; however, these programs struggle to reach families in need and provide high quality care. SafeCare is a sustainable and effective home visiting child maltreatment prevention program, serving over 8,000 families each year. This study will examine the feasibility and implementation of a hybrid in-person/virtual delivery model for SafeCare with 12 home visiting providers and 40 caregivers to inform how home visiting programs are delivered to maximize reach to families, improve family outcomes, and decrease harm to children.

A Pilot Study of a Remote Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Monitoring Program for Children in Rural Areas

Claire MacGeorge

List of Studies


Keywords
ADD/ADHD
Summary

For this pilot study, children diagnosed with ADHD starting stimulant treatment for the first time, or have not received stimulant treatment in the prior 6 months, in rural settings will be the focus of efforts to improve time to optimal symptom control, in an effort to maximize the treatment benefit for the academic year. We anticipate that more frequent provision of information by families and teachers to medical providers, enabled by technology and remote monitoring tools, will encourage more rapid improvement in symptom burden. This would be achieved through timely, even weekly, titration of medication per the current treatment guidelines, which is only possible with symptom reports.

The goals of this pilot study are 2-fold:
• Evaluate caregiver and teacher utilization of the RAMP platform early in the treatment course of ADHD
• Evaluate provider utilization of the RAMP platform in everyday practice and management of children early in the treatment course of ADHD

Summary

This study is being conducted in women who are at least 22 years old,+ and will be undergoing either a unilateral or bilateral mastectomy with immediate two-stage post-mastectomy alloplastic prepectoral breast reconstruction (initial insertion of a tissue expander on top of the chest wall muscle followed by change-over to a breast implant after a period of tissue expander inflation).

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Melodi Matrix. .

The Melodi Matrix is an absorbable mesh that contains antibacterial agents (medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria) and is wrapped around tissue expanders before being implanted. After approximately 9 weeks, the mesh will fully absorb into the body.

Summary

This study involves collecting data and physician feedback while using the ViewFlex X System during a routine electrophysiology (EP) procedure. An electrophysiology procedure is done to correct an electrical abnormality in the heart. The ViewFlex X System is considered investigational meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ViewFlex System will obtain and integrate heart images with the mapping information obtained during your procedure. There is also an option to have the procedure videotaped. Study participation lasts until hospital discharge post procedure. Study related risks include risks associated with using the ViewFlex X System, loss of confidentiality and unknown risks.

Summary

This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced, skill building intervention is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, compared to medication monitoring. Participants are randomized to one of the conditions. Participants randomized to receive the skill building intervention will attend three 60-90-minute therapy appointments during pregnancy with an additional 30-minute therapy session towards the end of pregnancy, and 3 additional monthly postpartum (after childbirth) sessions (0-6 months postpartum). As part of the program, participants will receive access to a mobile application, which will be accessible for the duration of the study. Participants randomized to medication monitoring will be asked to log each time the medication is taken for a two month period. All participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment, at the end of pregnancy, 3-month postpartum, and 6-months postpartum, be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count, and complete a urine drug screen at 6-months postpartum. The total duration of the study is between 9-13 months depending on when enrollment occurs (early second trimester-mid third trimester). Compensation up to $500 is provided.
