This study is for patients with cancer and is being done to see if blood samples from patients with and without certain types of cancer help researchers develop a future blood test for use in detecting cancer early.
This study is enrolling participants who are already implanted with a S-ICD device (Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, which is a device designed to monitor heart rhythms and deliver a shock to the heart to stop life threatening heart rhythms), and are undergoing a routine outpatient clinic follow up appointment to have their S-ICD checked. The aim of the study is to see if a feature in the device can recognize muscle movement and differentiate movement from irregular heart signals. The study involves doing some simple arm exercises while collecting device data, both with this feature turn on and then with it turned off. Participants will be randomized to either have the feature turned on or off initially then it will be programmed the alternative way and the same exercise testing will be repeated. The study will involve just one visit.
The purpose of this study is determine the optimal dose, efficacy and safety of an investigational drug (a new drug not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in adults with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis. The investigational drug is known as CGT9486 and will be taken daily orally. Participation in the study is expected to be approximately 6 years.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fazirsiran (investigational drug) compared with placebo (an inactive substance) in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency associated liver disease (AATD-LD). If eligible, subjects will be randomized (assigned to a group by chance) to receive either fazirsiran or placebo to be administered subcutaneously (an injection under the skin). Subjects will be treated on Day 1, at Week 4, and then every 12 weeks for 196 weeks. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after their last dose of study drug or placebo for a total study duration of approximately 230 weeks (including 10 weeks of the screening period which is the time needed to assess if a subject is eligible for the study).
This study evaluates whether non-cigarette tobacco products (e-cigarettes) can help smokers quit smoking as compared to traditional quit methods (nicotine replacement therapy or varenicline/Chantix). Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, then will have a choice between the offered products of that group. Participants in the e-cigarette group will have a choice of e-cigarette brand and flavor. Participants in the medication group will have choice between nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) or varenicline, also known as Chantix. Participation will last 6 months and will include weekly phone calls for the initial 7-weeks plus a 11-week phone call and a 6-month follow-up visit. Participants will also complete electronic daily diaries during the first 7-weeks.
The purpose of the research is to test out a combined treatment for depression where we stimulate a nerve in the ear while at the same time stimulating the brain with magnets. These treatments are called transcutaneous (through the skin) auricular (ear) vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and transcranial (through the skull) magnetic stimulation (TMS). For patients who already have a cervical VNS device, we will not change their treatment and will use this in place of the taVNS. We think this combined method might treat depressive symptoms better than either alone. This study is in person at the Institute of Psychiatry in downtown Charleston on the MUSC campus. First, patients will have a screening session and then will have 6 treatment days total where they will receive either VNS treatment alone, TMS treatment alone, or both at the same time. The treatment they start with will be randomized, and they will have 2 treatment days of each combination.
This study is for women with endometrial cancer. This study is being done to see if by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs.
The purpose of this study is to assess the dose dependent safety, tolerability and potential efficacy of QRX003 lotion in subjects with Netherton Syndrome (NS). This is a multi-center, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, parallel group comparison study of QRX003 lotion in adult subjects 18 years of age or older with NS. Approximately 18 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 7 sites. Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to treatment as follows:
1. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 2% (Low dose)
2. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 4% (High dose)
3. Vehicle lotion
Subjects will apply the assigned test article once daily in the morning to a designated Treatment Area for 12 weeks. Subjects will attend 5 clinic visits for up to 20 weeks.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab when used in combination with topical corticosteroid (TCS) treatment, compared with placebo, in pediatric participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Participants found to be eligible according to all of the study entry criteria will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either lebrikizumab or placebo. This study can last up to 32 weeks, with 4 study periods. Screening Period: up to 4 weeks (≤30 days), TCS Standardization Period: 2 weeks, Treatment Period: 16 weeks, Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up Period: 12 weeks.
This study includes a longitudinal mixed methods study of 360 YYA with diabetes in SC, CO, and WA conducted with SFS 1 participants. SFS 2 will have two parts: (1) an intense, longitudinal study consisting of two 14-day assessment periods spaced 9 months apart which will include CGM, EMA, accelerometry, and surveys in all participants (the EMA study); and (2) a concurrent events qualitative study with a subset of participants (30 T1D, 15 T2D) who will complete 13 one-on-one, semi-structured interviews throughout the 9-month assessment period (the qualitative study).
