Summary

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

Characterization of barriers and facilitators of guideline concordant extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after major cancer surgery

Keywords

Summary

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.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 24-Week Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of BBT-877, as mono- or add-on therapy, in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Keywords

Summary

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.

Summary

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.
