Summary

Adults with Cognitive Heart Disease (ACHD) now outnumber children with CHD. ACHD patients can demonstrate some neurocognitive deficits which may reduce their quality of life. The goal of this research is to determine if the mind's ability to resist damage of the brain can impact the development and neurocognitive outcomes in ACHD patients.

Summary

The purpose of this project is to study DNA and its connection to your health. DNA is in your blood, your saliva, and other tissues in your body. DNA is the unique instructions you are born with that tells your body how to work. By looking at DNA, you can learn information about your health, certain traits, and even your ancestral roots. DNA is also called your genetic information. DNA is mostly the same from person to person. But everyone's DNA is slightly different. We are still learning how DNA impacts health. This study will look at the DNA of many different people from many different backgrounds and compare it to information in their health records. The goal is to understand how learning about DNA can help improve health care for individuals, families, and the community.

Participants will provide a sample for DNA sequencing. Sequencing is the process of reading the letters of your DNA. This study may sequence your whole genome. Over time, you may be asked to provide additional samples for research purposes. The research team will collect health information about you from your medical record and may ask you questions about your health using surveys or other data collection method.

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the differences in severity and disparities of lupus in Black lupus patients, focusing on the highest risk group, Black females. We are interested in enrolling Black females with lupus as well as smaller numbers of White females with lupus, White females as Healthy Controls and Black males with lupus.

Study participation involves the collection of 4 tablespoons of blood. Patients with lupus will have their study participation during a standard of care (SOC) visit with their rheumatologist as part having routine blood drawn for their lupus care. After the initial study visit, patients with lupus may have an additional 2-3 visits. Controls will have a single study visit at the MUSC Nexus clinical research center.

This is not a clinical trial and does not involve study medications. Compensation is available for participation.

A Multi-center, Single-Dose and Repeat-Dose Over Eight Weeks, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability as well as Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Doses of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human) 15% Administered Subcutaneously in Subjects with Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate a new therapy formulation for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of Alpha-1 drugs (Alpha-1 15% and Liquid Alpha1-PI) in participants with AATD. Participants will be placed into one of two groups. Each group will receive both drugs at different points in the treatment period and because this is an "open label", study participants and the study staff know which dose of study drug participants receive. The study will last up to 486 days (16 months). Many visits are able to be conducted through home health care, lessening the need to come into the clinic.

Alpha-1 15% is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The other drug in this study is Liquid Alpha1-PI (licensed as Prolastin®-C Liquid) and is an FDA approved treatment for adults with emphysema due to AATD. However, it is only approved for the recommended dose of 60 mg/kg. This study includes both the FDA approved 60mg/kg of Liquid Alpha1-PI and an experimental dose of 120 mg/kg that is not FDA approved. Alpha-1 15% is given as an injection under the skin and Liquid Alpha1-PI is given as an infusion into the veins.

You may or may not directly benefit from participation. However, you may help advance scientific knowledge in the treatment of AATD. Currently, the only FDA approved treatment for AATD is IV infusions of Liquid Alpha1-PI. Since the drug being studied, Alpha-1 15%, is injected with a small needle under your skin, there may be a benefit to future patients by providing flexibility of treatment route options as well as stability in serum alpha1-antitrypsin levels.

Summary

This study is for subjects with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has gotten worse or come back after two or more treatments. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved drug) study drug called loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402). Treatment will be administered intravenously or via tablet depending on the subject's assigned treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether the investigational drug combination of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with one of four other anti-cancer agents is a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Treatment will be assigned by a system in a sequence unless the subject has received the combination drug (the drug that is not locastuximab). This means the first enrolled subject will be assigned to arm C, the second to arm E, and so on. The subject will be seen approximately once a week during treatment, and may remain in the study for up to 3 years.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The investigational drug in the study is AMG 757. Both drugs are immunotherapy treatments, medicines that work with your immune system to help fight cancer. AMG 757 will be given in a liquid form directly into participants' veins (intravenously). This study is being done to find out about the safety and efficacy (effects good or bad) of AMG 757 for the treatment of SCLC. Participants can expect to receive treatment for about 24 months.
The duration of AMG 757 treatment will depend on how the disease responds to the investigational drugs and how the body tolerates AMG 757. So, participation may be longer or shorter than this window. The study period includes screening period lasting up to 21 days, a treatment period, a first safety follow-up visit, and a second safety follow-up visit. This will be followed by long-term follow-up visits up to 1 year from the first dose of AMG 757 for a total of about 3 years in the study.
