Summary

The purpose of this research study is to confirm the safety of the study drug (Prismocitrate 18) and the study device for patients with acute kidney injury receiving a type of dialysis treatment known as Continuous Renal replacement Therapy (CRRT). When a patient receives CRRT, a blood thinner (also known as an "anticoagulant") is frequently given. In the United States (U.S.), an anticoagulant called, Heparin, is commonly used for CRRT. Some patients have a high risk of bleeding and cannot be given heparin, because it can cause harm to them. For these patients, an anticoagulant, called citrate, can be used. The study drug being tested contains citrate. The study drug works as an anticoagulant and may also help cleanse your blood during the CRRT treatment.

A Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Zilovertamab Vedotin (MK-2140) Plus R-CHP Versus Polatuzumab Vedotin Plus R-CHP in Treatment-naïve Participants With GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

Summary

This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an investigational drug called zilovertamab vedotin. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the study, participants will be randomized to two different groups (like flipping a coin). The first group will receive zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone]. The second group will receive the standard care regimen: polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. The drugs will be given through an IV, and prednisone may be given to participants by mouth. The primary purpose of the study is to learn if zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP is safe and effective for treating DLBCL. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to 5.5 years. The first six months will be participation in treatment, and the following five years will be follow-up.

A Descriptive Study Assessing Sexual Activity Following Sacrocolpopexy

Keywords

Summary

This is a descriptive study designed to determine the proportion of women who are sexually active after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, with particular focus on those aged 65 and older. Because sacrocolpopexy carries certain risks—especially in older women—but also preserves vaginal length and may improve sexual function, understanding post-surgical sexual activity can help clinicians counsel patients when choosing between reconstructive surgeries, which preserve vaginal length, and obliterative surgeries, which do not. The study also aims to better understand patient values in surgical decision-making related to sexual activity. Women who had sacrocolpopexy at MUSC since January 1, 2015 will be contacted to complete two questionnaires: one assessing sexual activity and satisfaction with surgery, and one assessing sexual function using an adapted PISQ-IR questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics to examine the proportion of sexually active women in groups under 65 versus 65 and older, as well as to compare their sexual function outcomes.

A long-term non-interventional study to assess the incidence of skin malignancies in patients with dystrophic and junctional epidermolysis bullosa receiving treatment with Filsuvez (FOSTER)

Skin
Summary

This observational, multi-country cohort study examines the long-term safety of Filsuvez in real-world clinical practice. Researchers will collect both primary data and use existing patient registry data to gather information on Filsuvez exposure, skin malignancies, medical history, and other clinical characteristics. The study will include patients with confirmed diagnoses of DEB and JEB, regardless of whether they use Filsuvez, as long as they meet the approved indication. Patients previously exposed to Filsuvez through clinical trials, early access programs, or compassionate use programs may also participate. The study does not require any protocol-mandated visits or procedures, and the frequency of patient visits will follow local standard practice and individual patient needs.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Control, Multicenter Phase 3 Trial of Casdatifan and Cabozantinib Versus Placebo and Cabozantinib in Patients With Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Keywords

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a new drug, casdatifan, to cabozantinib works better than cabozantinib alone in adults with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) that has gotten worse after previous immunotherapy. It will compare the two treatments in patients around the world to see which is more effective. A total of 8 patients will be enrolled locally over the course of 26 months, and participants may be in the study for up to five years. Before joining, patients will complete a screening process with tests and assessments to determine eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: casdatifan plus cabozantinib or placebo plus cabozantinib. There is a 2 in 3 chance of being in the casdatifan group and a 1 in 3 chance of being in the placebo group. Both drugs are taken by mouth in pill form each day. During the study, patients will have assessments such as blood tests, imaging scans, heart monitoring, physical exams, biopsies, questionnaires, and a drug diary. Participants will visit the study site two times each 28-day cycle for the first two cycles, then once per cycle thereafter. The most important risks include low blood counts, low oxygen levels, fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, skin reactions, high blood pressure, weight loss, voice changes, and bleeding.

A Phase II Randomized Trial of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy or Chemo-Immunotherapy in Patients with Recurrent/Persistent PD-L1 Enriched Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck Undergoing Salvage Surgery (NEOPOLIS)

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients diagnosed with recurrent/persistent PD-LI enriched squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and undergoing salvage surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment of surgery alone, to using chemotherapy (cisplatin and paclitaxel) or chemo-immunotherapy [carboplatin and paclitaxel with cemiplimab (REGN2810)] plus the usual treatment.

Carboplatin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and cemiplimab are FDA approved to treat head and neck cancers. This study seeks to answer if adding chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy before surgery extends the length of time without your cancer returning compared to the surgery alone.

Patients may participate in this study for up to 3 years. Procedures surgery, blood tests, chemotherapy, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 3 months. There will be about 180 people taking part in this study, approximately x participants will be enrolled at MUSC.

Risks include hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, infection, and fever. 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.

Summary

The Caris Biorepository is collecting quality biospecimens, which can be any material that comes from human tissue, to bank for the purposes of future research studies related to advancing precision medicine and improving patient care. Select biospecimens may be collected from consenting individuals who have, or do not have cancer, are being screened for, or have an increased risk for a certain type of cancer. Samples may be used for research on: cells that make up your body (DNA and RNA) and how those cells and other cells work in healthy people and people with illness; how biomarkers might be able to predict the best treatments for a particular tumor type or blood finding; biomarker testing to discover and refine new technology; or, new discoveries and new biomarkers that can predict disease.
