Summary

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.

Summary

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).

Keywords
Smoking
Summary

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.

Synchronized cervical or transcranial auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) with prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treatment resistant depression (TRD)

Depression
Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Development and Testing of COPEWeb: A Web-Based Provider Training for Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders Using Prolonged Exposure (COPE)

Summary

The need to advance knowledge and increase access to treatment for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) is a priority for service members and Veterans. PTSD and SUD often co-occur and are two of the most common and debilitating mental health disorders among service members and Veterans. However, few providers are trained in this approach and therefore are not prepared to deliver best practice care to Veterans who need integrated PTSD/SUD treatment.
This project will directly address this critical gap in provider training to improve the care of Veterans with comorbid PTSD/SUD, by providing development and testing of a web-based provider training course for concurrent treatment of PTSD and SUD Using prolonged exposure (COPE).

Summary

The primary objective of this platform trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of differing treatments in CF pulmonary exacerbations during a planned 14 day course of IV antimicrobials. Primary efficacy will be evaluated as the difference in mean ppFEV1 (pulmonary function testing) changes from Visit 1 to Visit 2 (Day 28 ± 2 days) between intervention arms. The study will compare treatment of an intravenous aminoglycoside and β-lactams (AG) versus intravenous β-lactams only (non-AG) in people with CF diagnosed with a pulmonary exacerbation who will be treated for Pa.
