Summary

The is a Phase 3 study for children, ages 0-17 years old, with severe von Willebrand disease (VWD). In this study, the study drug will be used prophylactically for the treatment of bleeding events. Prophylactic treatment means the study drug will be used to prevent or stop a bleed before it happens.
This study is going to look at how safe the study drug is and how well the study drug (recombinant von Willebrand factor (rVWF, vonicog alfa)), works to prevent and control bleeding.

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer? ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA that has been released from tumor cells into your bloodstream. This DNA can be measured using a blood test.

This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer.

Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include blood samples, tissue samples, and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, loss of appetite, tingling or pain in hands/feet/arms/legs, and anemia. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

Evaluation of Low- and High-Nicotine Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches as a Harm Reducing Substitute for Combustible Cigarettes

Keywords
Smoking
Summary

Tobacco-free oral nicotine pouches (such as Zyn brand) are a less harmful alternative to combustible tobacco (cigarette/cigarillo/little cigar) smoking. Pouches, however, contain nicotine, and addictive substance that is not risk-free. The present study is evaluating how well nicotine pouches, at different nicotine levels, help people switch away from smoking combustible tobacco. People who smoke will be asked to answer questions about their tobacco product use and provide breath samples and cheek swab samples at an in-person visit to MUSC Charleston. Participants will then be provided with a 28-day supply of nicotine pouches, and will be asked to switch from smoking to pouches over the course of 4 weeks. Finally, participants will complete a final visit at MUSC, and will answer more questions about their tobacco use 1-month later.

Summary

This study aims to determine if photo biostimulation with Nd-YAG laser improves wound healing following tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation. The impact of laser treatment on wound healing will be evaluated by levels of salivary inflammatory biomarkers, gingival wound size, and surveying for pain reduction and patient satisfaction. The intervention group will receive standard-of-care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation with adjunct Nd-YAG laser photobiostimulation on days 1, 3, and 7, while the control group will receive the standard-of-care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation only.

Alcohol
Summary

Rates of heavy episodic drinking (HED) among military veterans are almost double that of the general population. Veterans also experience more serious negative health consequences of HED, including high-risk behaviors such as aggression. Research shows there is a link between HED and aggression. However, no programs exist to reduce alcohol-related aggression among veterans. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of adapting a current therapy - Managing Emotions to Reduce Aggression (MERA) - to include alcohol-focused Motivational Interviewing plus Feedback (MIF). We will use a brief, four session protocol that includes an hour of talk therapy, plus completion of surveys at each of the four sessions.
