Patients with chronic pancreatitis often suffer from severe abdominal pain that reduce their quality of life. The major purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of an infusion of the patient's own stem cells to relieve chronic pain. The stem cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow and grown in the clean lab to be used for treatment. After infusion into the vein, the participant will be followed for 12 months to evaluate their pain and other outcomes.
This clinical research study is enrolling adults who have high triglycerides (fats in the blood). The study drug, olezarsen, is an investigational drug designed to reduce triglyceride blood levels. If you meet the requirements to participate in this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either olezarsen or placebo (an inactive substance that contains no drug). During the treatment period, participants will be asked to complete visits every 4 weeks to include a total of 21 visits over approximately 16 months. If eligible, study medication and study visits will be provided free of charge. Compensation is available.
This study is for patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer who in addition to the EGFR gene change (mutation) that was previously found in their tumor, testing found that their tumor also now has MET gene changes. The study is checking to see if a combination of 3 targeted drugs work together to lower the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading.
Subjects entering this long-term safety extension (LTSE) study must have successfully participated in a pediatric LUM-201 GHD study through at least the 12-month visit and are eligible for continuation of treatment beyond Month 12, if applicable. Subjects may be enrolled into the LUM-201-02 study, having met all enrollment criteria, following successful completion of 12, 18, or 24 months of treatment in a pediatric LUM-201 GHD study.
Subjects who have met the AHV ≥ 6.7 growth criterion and have continued on treatment beyond the Month 12 visit in the LUM-201-01 trial may transition into the LUM-201-02 trial at Month 18 visit. For these subjects, AHV at Month 24 will be compared to AHV at Month 12, and if it is confirmed to be ≥ 80% of the Month 12 AHV, continued treatment with LUM-201 will be offered.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 200 mg twice daily (BID) of BBT-877 in patients with IPF, with or without AF approved background therapies (pirfenidone or nintedanib). For both the placebo and BBT-877 groups, patients will be selected so that 40% to 60% of the patients in each group will be treated with pirfenidone or nintedanib in order to investigate if BBT-877 could be used as either monotherapy or add-on therapy to AFs, to further reduce the decline in lung function and/or improve symptoms as compared to those drugs alone. As a result, 60% to 40% of the patients will receive BBT-877 or placebo, alone.
While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications available to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reasons why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. We aim to characterize barriers and facilitators to extended blood clot prophylaxis guideline adherence as perceived by stakeholders via interviews with a diverse group of patients and surgeons at hospitals within the MUSC Health system that routinely perform cancer surgery. These findings will inform educational interventions to improve the use of guideline concordant care and mitigate observed disparities in cancer care.

The purpose of this research study is to study the utility of advanced blood testing for patients who have had a stroke and tend to form blood clots more than usual. The study involves blood tests using a new testing system that may detect issues with blood clotting easier than conventional tests. This is a 12-month study and will involve one blood draw and follow-up phone calls
This study is for patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) originating outside of the lung. This study is being done to see if the combination of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide better or worse than a platinum drug and etoposide for patients with advance or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma originating outside the lung
