The study is being done to test the use of a drug called bromocriptine for women who have a condition called Peripartum cardiomyopathy or PPCM. PPCM means you have a weak heart after giving birth. The study will look at how the heart muscle improves in women taking bromocriptine compared to a group of women given a placebo or inactive pill. Bromocriptine is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat irregular periods and other symptoms that result from having high blood levels of a substance called prolactin. It is not approved for use in usual care to treat PPCM. The follow up period will be about 3 years. The study will have an initial visit and then the follow -up visits will take place at one, three, six, and 12 months in the first year and visits by phone at 24 months and 36 months.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about interstitial lung disease through collection of information and blood samples to be used in future research projects. Basic information and a blood sample will be collected in conjunction with clinical care for this study, approximately every 3 months.

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

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.

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.

Patients with end stage heart failure (HF) exhibit abnormalities in their skeletal muscle, thought to be as a result of reduced blood flow to the muscle as their HF worsens. We will identify the relative nature of these changes by obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies in HF patients as well as healthy control subjects without HF. These biopsies will be from the right upper thigh as well as from the right calf muscle. We will compare these biopsies to identify if the changes we are seeing are in fact more severe in the calf compared to the thigh muscle.

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.
