This study is for patients who have completed curative-intent treatment for colorectal cancer. It is testing an educational website called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to see if it improves follow-up care, including knowledge about cancer recurrence, recommended tests, and self-management of health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two versions of the website, with or without additional features for engaging a support person, and can use it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The study will last up to 16 months, including website use, surveys, and optional interviews, with participation completely voluntary. The goal is to determine whether CTAC helps patients better understand follow-up care and engage their supporters to improve adherence to recommended surveillance. There will be a total of 21 patients enrolled locally over the course of 36 months.
This is an observational study to further characterize and quantify disease severity
and impact (including change over time) in individuals with either segmental, multifocal, or generalized dystonia. Subjects will be aged 12-65 years old and clinically diagnosed with isolated (or primary) dystonia. Participation will include 2 visits over 120 days in which subjects will be asked to answer questions about their dystonia and related symptoms.
Half of cancer caregivers in the US are young adults (YA) (age 18-35) caring for a parent with advanced cancer. This presents communication and quality of life challenges for both the young adult child caregiver and parent with cancer; however, this dyad (e.g., two people together) has not been well studied. We will conduct interviews with young adult child caregivers and parents with cancer to learn more about communication challenges and support needs in this dyad. Dyad members will also complete self-report measures asking about mood, coping, communication and quality of life. Findings will inform the development of an intervention to improve dyadic communication and quality of life.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is testing an investigational drug called Amivantamab. "Investigational" means that is not been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There will be no randomization in this study. Participants will be assigned to treatment upon enrollment based on disease treatment status. The primary purpose of this study is to understand how well the study treatment works and the safety of the combination of Amivantamab and Lazertinib in participants who have NSCLC with a specific eGFR mutation. Amivantamab can be given under the skin (subcutaneous) or by infusion (IV). Participants can be in the study for up to 36 months depending on how the participants disease responds to treatment.
This study will recruit adults diagnosed with an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD). The purpose of this research study is to collect blood, saliva, and tissue samples to determine whether certain measurable characteristics (biomarkers) can be identified which may provide insight into the risk of developing cancer. Participation in this study is expected to last approximately 3 years.
Co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) disproportionately affects Veterans and has significant negative impacts on the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life of Veterans, their romantic partners, and their families. However, treatments that address co-occurring PTSD-AUD and restore Veterans' psychosocial functioning are lacking. The overall goal of this project is to improve treatment approaches aimed at reducing symptoms of co-occurring PTSD-AUD and improving functioning among Veterans and their partners. We plan to do this by learning from Veterans, family members, and treatment providers in order to inform an adaptation of a brief dyadic AUD intervention to be delivered alongside integrated PTSD-AUD treatment for Veteran couples and then conducting a pilot trial of an adapted Brief Family Involved Treatment (B-FIT) intervention with Veterans with PTSD-AUD and their romantic partners.
This study aims to explore the prevalence of mental health symptoms, including trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms in a postpartum population. The study also aims to collect information related to medical and mental health treatment seeking before, during, and after pregnancy as well as feedback on adaptations of future mental health interventions delivered during the postpartum period. Participation in this study includes a 35 minute online survey with questionnaires related to the study aims. Depending on survey responses, participants may be invited to complete an interview with study personnel to provide more specific insight on mental health treatments for perinatal individuals.
This is a clinical use of an FDA-approved Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) called Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS CD34. The intent is to treat patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in a clinical setting, not to conduct research or gather data on safety or effectiveness. No data will be collected beyond what is required for standard clinical care. Device-related processing will occur at an NMDP Advanced Cell Therapy Lab Solutions facility, and the resulting cell product will be transported to MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for infusion. Eligible patients are in first complete remission and undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) from an HLA-identical matched related donor. Patients will be provided MUSC's standard treatment consent per institutional policies. The HUD will be stored, dispensed, and used at NMDP in accordance with standard operating procedures.
This study is for women who have delivered a child in the past 18 months, have experienced one or more traumatic events during their lifetime, and use substances. First, the research involves completing brief screening questions over the phone to determine eligibility for the study. Second, eligible women will be invited to complete a 60- to 90-minute study visit comprised of an online survey and an interview about their opinions on postpartum substance use and potential future resources to help address substance use among postpartum women with trauma histories.
The purpose of the study is to learn more about an experimental drug called ORC-13661 that may be helpful in treating hearing loss due to antibiotic use. The study is researching whether the drug is safe and tolerable, and trying to find out whether the drug may be able to mitigate or prevent hearing loss in patients being treated with intravenous (IV) amikacin. Participation in the study will consist of up to 10 visits over up to 129 days. The Day 1 visit (following the screening visit) will last up to 8 hours, while other visits will last up to 5 hours Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ORC-13661at a higher dose or a lower dose or a placebo (a pill that looks the same as the study drug but has no real medicine in it), for up to 90 days to be taken along with IV amikacin. Participants will be asked to have a number of tests and procedures, which include questionnaires about family, medical, and hearing history, physical and hearing examination, and assessments of hearing.
