This research study aims to better understand how the immune system functions in human diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. We will collect small amounts of tissue that are already being removed during routine surgeries, such as liver transplants or colorectal cancer resections. These tissues would otherwise be discarded. By studying immune cells and molecules within these samples, our team hopes to uncover how inflammation and immune signaling contribute to disease progression. The ultimate goal is to identify new ways to diagnose, monitor, or treat these conditions in the future. Participation does not involve any extra procedures or risk beyond the surgery already being performed.

We will evaluate the ability of a technology-based intervention E-Care to improve communication of information about breast cancer risk and improve discussion about breast cancer screening in the primary care setting. Women ages 25-75 seen by their primary care clinician are potentially eligible to participate. Study activities include completion of a health questionnaire, reviewing a video on breast cancer screening, completion of a post-visit survey, and potential opportunity for a brief interview.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) delivered via tele-health for young children with disruptive behavior problems who are at risk for life stressors. Participants will go through a screening to determine eligibility. Once screening is complete, eligible families who choose to participate will complete questionnaires, 3 virtual visits, and will receive 10 tele-health therapy sessions, at no cost. Families will be compensated for their time.

El propósito de este estudio de investigación es evaluar la Terapia de la Interacción Padre-Hijo (PCIT, por sus siglas en inglés) mediante telesalud para niños pequeños con dificultades de comportamiento que están en riesgo de factores de estrés en la vida. Los participantes pasarán un cernimiento para determinar su elegibilidad. Una vez que se complete, las familias elegibles que decidan participar completarán cuestionarios, 3 visitas virtuales y recibirán 10 sesiones de terapia por telesalud, que serán gratuitas. Las familias recibirán compensación por su tiempo.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib 1.5% cream applied twice daily in participants with mild to moderate HS (Hurley Stage I or II) without draining tunnels.

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of irritability associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study is designed to look at the usefulness and safety of lumateperone (CAPLYTA) for the treatment of irritability associated with ASD among pediatric participants between the ages of 5 to 17 years. The study will last approximately 26 weeks and the participants will receive the study drug, lumateperone.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with previously untreated, locally advanced, and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC. This study is testing two treatment regimens: NALIRIFOX (5-fluorouracil, liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin) vs mGAP (gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin).
The primary purpose of this study is to see which of the two regimens is more effective in PDAC. Participants will continue on study medications if seeing clinical benefit, and can expect to be on the study for a maximum of 6 months.

This a blood draw study. Blood samples will be collected every 4 weeks on women diagnosed with fetal growth restriction. We hope it will help to determine other ways to evaluate patients with fetal growth restriction and thus improve outcomes.

This study is patients that have been diagnosed with high-risk renal cell carcinoma. This study will compare disease free survival (DFS) in patients treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab and tivozanib versus those receiving pembrolizumab alone. Participants can expect to remain in the study for 10years. There will be a total of 14 patient enrolled locally.

This phase 2 study is screening patients who may have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study is a non-treatment protocol and the first step of taking part in myeloMATCH, which is a clinical trial. The main purpose of the study is to see if testing on patient's bone marrow and blood results in finding certain biomarkers that will qualify participants for the treatment study or for Standard of Care (SOC) therapies. The study will enroll approximately 5000 patients. The study has two periods, initial and post-treatment screening. It takes about four days for the study doctor to receive the screening results and the patient's first treatment assignment in myeloMATCH. Patients will complete post-treatment screening after their participation in treatment trials or SOC therapies. It will take about 11 days for the study doctor to receive these results and decide their next treatment assignment. Further testing may match patients with myeloMATCH substudies in the future. The main risk is that biomarker test results may be wrong. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who are at risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a prevention treatment combination called Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Ruxolitinib compared to Standard of Care (SOC), Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide/Tacrolimus/Mycophenolate Mofetil. Ruxolitinib (Rux) is an approved treatment for GVHD. This study is divided into two parts. The first part, called the run-in phase, will investigate the best dose of Ruxolitinib. The second part of the study will compare the SOC combination therapy with the investigational combination therapy (which will include Ruxolitinib). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups (like flipping a coin). The study will enroll up to 572 patients nationwide and 5 at MUSC. The participants can expect to be involved in the study for at least 24 months. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. The most common side effects expected from the investigational combination therapy are high cholesterol, increased liver enzymes, low platelet levels, and low red blood cell counts. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
