This study aims to improve cancer survivorship care work by refining how primary care providers and cancer specialists share responsibilities. Researchers want to understand how technology can help these teams communicate more clearly and effectively to coordinate care for survivors. The study team will use surveys, conduct interviews and organize focus groups for interested and eligible participants as methods of data collection to inform the research. Oncologists, Primary Care Physicians, administrative leads and colon or rectal cancer survivors that meet the eligibility criteria will complete surveys, engage in interviews and group discussions from each perspective to learn strategies to improve care, including who should handle which parts of survivorship care. Using this information, the team will create an intervention plan called PRIMES that outlines strategies to overcome common barriers. The ultimate goal is to help survivors receive better and more coordinated follow‑up care.
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.
This an observational study collecting data for up to 8 years on patients who have been diagnosed with PiZZ or PiSZ Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency with or without liver disease. Patients' clinical, medical, and laboratory data will be collected prospectively per routine care and questionnaires will be collected during the clinic visits with the hopes of getting a better understanding of the natural progress of lung and liver disease associated with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
This is a Phase 3, open-label, follow-up study to evaluate the long-term safety,
tolerability, and efficacy of sotatercept when added to background PAH therapy for the treatment of PAH. Participants enrolled in this study are from the following parent studies: PULSAR, SPECTRA, STELLAR, HYPERION, and ZENITH. Participants eligible to enroll in this study will have participated in and completed the requirements of the MK-7962-004 study (Amendment 07 or later). In this study, participants will receive open-label sotatercept . The duration of participation for each participant will vary based on their enrollment date, but it is anticipated to be up to 3 years.
The purpose of the study is to find out if mosliciguat, the investigational drug that is being studied, with treprostinil, is safe and effective in treating adults who live with PH-ILD. Approximately 20 participants diagnosed with PH-ILD who are currently on a stable dose of inhaled treprostinil who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be enrolled. Part 1 of the study will take about 5 ½ months. Part 2 of the study is optional if you choose to participate in the extension period. Part 2 does not have a set end date and your participation in Part 2 will end if you or your study doctor decide to stop your participation or the Sponsor ends the study.
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.
