Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract. infection (LRTI) among infants and young children, resulting in annual epidemics worldwide. Despite more than 50 years of attempted vaccine development, there are no licensed vaccines. While RSV prevention exists in the form of a specific RSV IgG (palivizumab) requiring 5 once monthly injections, it is licensed only for infants who experience the greatest morbidity and mortality from RSV: preterm infants born ≤ 35 weeks GA, children with chronic lung disease of prematurity, children with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. EDP-938 is a novel, orally administered, non-fusion replication inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is being developed as a potential treatment for RSV infection.
The purpose of this research study is to develop a better understanding of the cause and natural history of vascular anomalies and related syndromes. This study is being done in order to develop a better understanding of the cause of vascular anomalies in order to to improve care for people who are affected by these anomalies and related syndromes.
This study is being done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) and other sites in North America and Europe. A total of about 1000 people will participate in this study. About 20 – 30 people will take part in the study here at the Medical University of South Carolina.
The primary purpose of this registry is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical validation of LiverCare in liver transplant recipients, as part of post-transplant surveillance. LiverCare is an investigational panel test that includes 6 components: 1. AlloSure Liver 2. AlloMap Liver 3. AlloHeme Liver 4. iBox Liver 5. HistoMap Liver 6. AlloID. AlloSure Liver is a research test used to measure donor-derived cell free DNA in Liver transplant recipients. AlloMap Liver is a research gene expression profile test using peripheral blood to establish immune activity and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. iBox Liver is an analytic platform that predicts organ outcomes after transplant using a software algorithm based on information from your medical records and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. AlloHeme Liver is a diagnostic test to measure donor and recipient DNA in the blood. HistoMap Liver is a tissue-based gene expression test using tissue collected from standard of care biopsies to establish immune profiles within the organ and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. AlloID is a blood test that will quantify the presence of more than 100 pathogens including standard post-transplant infectious disease screening such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), adenovirus, Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and viral hepatitis.
This study is for subjects with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has gotten worse or come back after two or more treatments. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved drug) study drug called loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402). Treatment will be administered intravenously or via tablet depending on the subject's assigned treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether the investigational drug combination of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with one of four other anti-cancer agents is a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Treatment will be assigned by a system in a sequence unless the subject has received the combination drug (the drug that is not locastuximab). This means the first enrolled subject will be assigned to arm C, the second to arm E, and so on. The subject will be seen approximately once a week during treatment, and may remain in the study for up to 3 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JenaValve Trilogy™ Heart Valve System in a patient population with symptomatic severe Aortic regurgitation ( a condition where the heart's aortic valve does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber) requiring replacement/repair of their native aortic valve that are at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement/repair (SAVR).
Your involvement in this study will last approximately 5 years from the time of your procedure. The visits include: Screening/Baseline, Procedure, Pre-Discharge, 1 month, 6 months and annualy for 5 years
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) delivered via tele-health for young children with a developmental diagnosis (ex. suspected or diagnosed autism, ADHD, global developmental delay, etc.) and disruptive behavior problems. Participants will go through a screening to determine eligibility. Once screening is complete, participants will complete a pre-therapy assessment in clinic, followed by 10 telehealth sessions one time per week, at no cost. Participants will then be asked to complete an in-person post-therapy assessment and follow-up questionnaires will be re-administered 3 months following the completion of therapy. Families will be compensated for their time.
VERIFY will validate biomarkers of upper extremity (UE) motor outcome in the acute ischemic stroke window for immediate use in clinical trials, and explore these biomarkers in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The central hypothesis is that patients have different UE outcomes depending on corticomotor system (CMS) function, measured as motor evoked potential (MEP) status with TMS, and on CMS structure, measured as acute lesion load with MRI. VERIFY will create the first multicenter, large-scale, prospective dataset of clinical, TMS, and MRI measures in the acute stroke time window.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) delivered via telehealth for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and disruptive behavior problems. Participants will go through a screening to determine eligibility. Eligible families who choose to participate will complete 3 in-person visits at MUSC and may receive 10 telehealth therapy sessions, at no cost. Families will be compensated for their time.
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study in pregnant women with cystic fibrosis (CF) to characterize forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) changes based on exposure to highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The key factors contributing to the change in lung function during pregnancy and for 2 years post-delivery will be evaluated along with assessment of fetal and maternal outcomes.
The total duration of participation for each participant is expected to be about 3 years (up to 35 months). Women will be enrolled in the first trimester of pregnancy and assessed every 3 months during pregnancy and during the first year after delivery, then every 6 months for an additional year. Over the course of the study, CF clinical data, patient-reported outcomes, questionnaires, obstetrical outcomes, infant growth, child development outcomes, baseline CF-related therapies and co-morbidities will be collected to enable evaluation of changes from before pregnancy to during pregnancy and post-delivery.
MAYFLOWERS participants will be provided an opportunity to participate in an optional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sub-study to evaluate glucose control in pregnancy. Participants will undergo CGM sensor placement and data collection as part of the MAYFLOWERS study.
The Pediatric Intensive Care Influenza Study #2 (PICFLU2) is a multiyear, multicenter prospective observational study in patients aged ≤ 21 years hospitalized in pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) and Stepdown (or intermediate) Care Units (SDUs) in the US designed to evaluate of the immunobiology of influenza virus-related critical illness in young hosts.
