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.

Accelerating Translation to Practice: Multi-Level Interventions for Efficient Care Coordination Across Medical Specialties

Researcher
Michelle Mollica

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer/Breast, Cancer/Gastrointestinal, Cancer/Lung, Cancer/Other, Non-interventional
Summary

This research study aims to improve care coordination in the context of cancer survivorship care by understanding 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 and conduct interviews and focus groups for interested and eligible participants as methods of data collection to inform the research. Oncologists, primary care physicians, and survivors of breast, prostate, lung, colon and rectal cancer that meet the eligibility criteria will complete surveys and engage in interviews to understand barriers and identify strategies to improve care. Using this information, the team will create an intervention plan called ACT that addresses common barriers, using focus group discussions to refine the intervention. The ultimate goal is to help patients receive better and more coordinated follow‑up care.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Zasocitinib in Pediatric Participants Aged 4 to Less Than 18 Years With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Summary

Zasocitinib (TAK-279) is an oral TYK2 inhibitor being studied as a potential treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents, a group with limited safe and effective oral options. TYK2 plays a crucial role in immune pathways involved in psoriasis, especially through IL-23's activation of Th17 cells and production of proinflammatory cytokines. Current treatments include injectable biologics and the oral agent apremilast, but few oral therapies match the efficacy of biologics. In phase 2b trials, zasocitinib showed promising results, with over two-thirds of adult participants achieving PASI-75 at certain doses by week 12 and no major safety concerns. Ongoing phase 3 trials are evaluating zasocitinib as a potential new oral treatment for pediatric plaque psoriasis.

Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of TSRA-196, a gene editing compound, in adults with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (PiZZ genotype) and associated lung and/or liver disease. Participants will receive a single intravenous dose of TSRA-196 in a dose-escalation phase followed by dose-expansion cohorts.

The study will assess safety outcomes, pharmacokinetics, and changes in serum alpha-1 antitrypsin levels and lung function to determine whether TSRA-196 can safely increase functional AAT levels and inform selection of an appropriate dose for further clinical development.

The Impact of Toxic Exposures on Vascular Autoantibodies in Lupus Associated Cardiovascular Disease

Date Added
April 10th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00147299
Researcher
Helen Butler

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Lupus
Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how exposure to harmful substances during military service may affect the health of Veterans with or without lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.

We believe that Veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service may develop more harmful antibodies that attack the lining of their blood vessels. These antibodies may contribute to poorer blood vessel and heart health, and could contribute to the development of lupus.

This study aims to improve our understanding of how toxic military exposures may increase the risk of blood vessel complications in Veterans with and without lupus. Ultimately, this research may help identify new ways to better prevent, monitor, or treat cardiovascular disease in this population.

Research procedures for this study will include:

1. The study team will check subject medical records to gather information about medical history and medications being taking. The study team may continue to follow updates in the medical record.
2. Subjects will be given a survey to assess military and occupational toxic inhalant exposures.
3. Subjects will have a brief physical examination during which vitals will be recorded (height, weight, heart rate, respiration, temperature). Women of childbearing ages will be asked for the date of their last menstrual cycle within the past 2 months.
4. Subjects will have blood pressure taken three times three minutes apart.
5. Subjects will then provide a urine sample. Urine collection will occur in a private restroom using a sterile container provided by the study team. For women of childbearing ages, a pregnancy dipstick test will be undertaken on urine to confirm subjects are not pregnant.
6. Subjects will undergo a blood draw where approximately 4 teaspoons of blood will be drawn.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cervical cancer. This study is testing an investigational drug called pembrolizumab. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A computer will be used to assign you to one of the study groups. This process is called "randomization." Like flipping a coin, everyone has an equal chance of being placed in any group. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether induction immunotherapy (IO) and chemotherapy prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (CCRT+IO) improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared to CCRT+IO alone. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be on the study for 7 years.

Summary

This is an open-label, long-term study assessing the safety and efficacy of abrocitinib in participants aged 2 years and older with moderate-to-severe AD. It includes an extension cohort and a de novo cohort to meet regulatory requirements for a minimum of 300 participants exposed to 52 weeks of abrocitinib. Extension cohort participants must have completed 16 weeks of treatment in parent studies B7451023 or B7451030 and remain eligible. De novo cohort participants must be aged 6 to under 12 years at enrollment and not have participated in previous abrocitinib studies. Enrollment for the de novo cohort will begin after enrollment in Study B7451023 is complete. The study will have two periods lasting up to 2 years or until commercial availability, whichever comes first. All participants will receive abrocitinib oral suspension.
