The purpose of this research study is to determine if an already FDA approved drug called atorvastatin can help adults, age 75 or older, live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive either atorvastatin (study drug) or a matching placebo (a tablet that looks like atorvastatin but does not contain any medicine). Study engagement may last up to five years and involves in clinic and/or remote visits, survey questions, potential blood draws, in addition to memory and physical tests. After the first 1-2 visits performed in clinic or remote, the study team will follow-up via phone on a yearly basis to see how participants are doing. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

Ritlecitinib (PF 06651600) is an investigational drug (referred to as "study drug" from here on) and is being developed as possible study treatment for participants with non segmental vitiligo (both active and stable vitiligo). The study drug will be compared with a placebo to find out if the study drug is better than the placebo for the study treatment of vitiligo. The duration of this study is a maximum of 60 weeks. There will be an initial screening period of 30 days where the study doctor will determine eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study drug or a placebo during a 52 week study treatment period. At the end of the treatment period, participants will enter a 4 week Follow Up Period.
The purpose of this research study is to find new ways of detecting and treating Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (a cancer of mature B-lymphocytes). It is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes. The information we learn by doing this research study may help study doctors identify new ways of treating your type of lymphoma. Participants in this study will provide archival (stored) tissue and blood samples. Participation is expected to last about 8 months. The risks and discomforts of this study are minimal. All blood specimens requested for this study will be collected at the time of routine procedures.
The Program will allow access to brensocatib for patients who have completed the INS1007-301 ASPEN Clinical Trial. Patients will receive brensocatib 10 mg orally once daily. Eligible, compliant patients may receive brensocatib in this program until the drug is commercially available or until Insmed terminates the program.
The goal of this study is to collect health information from adults with IBD to better understand the disease and ultimately improve care for participants and other adults living with IBD. Participation in this study is voluntary. If a subject agrees to be in this study, we will collect information electronically (through a web-based platform called IBD Qorus) from the subject and the subject's IBD health care provider about their IBD health information.
Approximately 50 sites across the U.S. are currently participated in this study. The study is sponsored by the non-profit Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
With the collected medical data, the study will focus on the strategy of identifying goals (or targets) of IBD care, developing a strategy to reach these goals, and then continuously evaluating progress of achieving these targets and modifying the treatment plan.
The goal of this study is to demonstrate that Photon Counting CT (PC-CT) creates similar or better-quality pictures of the body compared to CT systems we currently use in the clinic. The department of Radiology will be conducting this study using the new PC-CT system at MUSC for imaging of the head, neck, and blood vessels. Participants in this study will receive their normally ordered imaging scan as well as an additional imaging scan on the PC-CT machine. This second scan will take place within a month following the first normally ordered imaging study. This additional scan will be the only extra visit for this research study. Risks are the same as a typical CT scan which can include radiation dose, IV dye allergies, risks from IV, and potential loss of confidentiality.
This study wants to understand how we can better identify children who have experienced or are at risk to experience child maltreatment. We will be interviewing caregivers of children and primary care providers (nurses, pediatricians, social workers) to understand their perspectives on screening for child safety risks in primary care settings. Interviews with providers will also focus on their feedback on a new tool to designed to detect child safety risks within health care settings. Findings will help inform best practice in integrated health care settings.
This study will examine how marijuana use can affect oral bacteria and brain health in people with HIV and without HIV. Early studies show that marijuana users have more oral bacteria than non-marijuana users. The increase in bacteria is believed to affect brain health. Participation in the study will be one visit. The visit will take approximately 120 minutes.
