This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with leukemia. This study is called a screening study and we are doing this study to find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents and young adults. Bone marrow, blood, and medical information about participant's cancer and treatment will be collected. Participants can expect to be on this study for 5 years.

Twelve patients with osteoarthritis of the knee will undergo Geniculate Artery Embolization for treatment of knee pain. Prior to the procedure, patients will undergo MRI imaging of the affected knee which will include contrast enhanced images and dynamic contrast enhanced images. The MRI will measure the degree of abnormal blood flow in the synovial lining of the knee joint as well as change in the knee joint structure found in osteoarthritis. Patients will be followed at 1, 6, and 12 months after the procedure, and knee pain as well as medication usage will be assessed at each interval. At the 6-month visit, patients will undergo a second MRI with contrast that will be used to compare the changes in blood flow and knee joint structure.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-germinomatous germ cell tumor (NGGCT). The goal of this study is to see if radiation therapy (RT) to the spine and a portion of the brain works just as well as the standard treatment, which includes RT to the whole brain and spine, for people with NGGCT who agree to take part in this study, and whose disease responds well to induction chemotherapy, or who have no signs of disease following surgery. Participants can expect to receive treatment on this study for about 6 to 11 months, depending on which therapy they receive. After study completion, participants will continue to be followed for up to 10 years.

This study is for newly diagnosed previously untreated neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated with low-grade glioma (LGG). The purpose of this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated LGG, and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway. Participants can expect to receive treatment for up to 24 months, until the cancer gets worse or until the side effects are too great. After study completion, participants will continue to be followed for up to 10 years.

This study is for newly diagnosed or previously untreated low-grade glioma (LGG). The overall goal of this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment using carboplatin and vincristine (called CV) for subjects with LGG. Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein (a basic building block of the human body) that lets cancer cells grow without stopping. Participants can expect to receive treatment on this study for about 1–2 years. After study completion, participants will continue to be followed for up to 10 years.

The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called PRA023/MK7240 (the study drug) is a good treatment for patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD). The study drug PRA023/7240 is an investigational drug that is given by infusion every 4 weeks. An investigational drug is not approved by The US Food and Drug Administration. It can only be used in a research study like this one. In this study, PRA023/MK7240 will be compared with a placebo (dummy drug). The placebo will be a saline solution that does not have any study drug in it. The comparison with the placebo helps to determine whether the effects seen in your body is because of the PRA023/MK7240 or not. This is a randomized study meaning that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either the study drug or placebo. This will be done with the help of a computer-based program and you will have 50% chance of receiving either the study drug or placebo. The study is double-blinded study and 50 weeks long, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the study drug or placebo.

The study is sponsored by Prometheus Biosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. The study is being done at approximately 25 sites across the United States. The main portion of the study will require 15 visits to the MUSC main campus and will have the following procedures completed over the course of your participation: blood draw, physician-led assessments of your disease (for example physical exam and skin thickness testing), tests to assess your pulmonary function and health (Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT)), electrocardiogram, as well as asked to complete surveys. If you complete the initial blinded treatment period of 50 weeks, the study doctor will discuss whether you are eligible to enter the open label period of the study, meaning no placebo. If you are eligible and agree, you will receive 500 mg of study drug once every 4 weeks for an additional 52 weeks. Compensation is available for participation.

Subjects in the first group will be enrolled in the GM-CSF for Reversal of Immunoparalysis in Pediatric Sepsis-induced MODS (GRACE-2) trial, comparing GM-CSF versus placebo. Subjects in the second group will be an observational cohort with no intervention, because this group has very low mortality and morbidity. Subjects in the third group will be enrolled in the Targeted Reversal of Inflammation in Pediatric Sepsis-induced MODS (TRIPS) trial, comparing anakinra and placebo. The fourth group, with very severe inflammation,
will be an observational cohort because clinical management of the inflammation
is standard of care, and there is no equipoise about enrolling these children in a placebo controlled trial. The primary outcome of both trials will be duration and severity of organ dysfunction using the cumulative PELOD-2 score, and secondary outcomes will assess health related quality of life and family functioning at 3 and 12 months.

The purpose of this research study is to continue to test how well the Endospan NEXUSTM Aortic Arch Stent Graft System performs in the treatment of a diseased aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main large vessel that carries blood away from the heart. A stent graft is a self-expanding frame that is covered with a material intended to seal the vessel walls.
The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is delivered to the diseased area of your aorta by traveling through your vascular system using fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray pictures), starting with a small incision or needle puncture near your groin (inner thigh). The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is being studied and is not approved by the FDA which means it is investigational in this study. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System has CE Mark which means it is approved for use in Europe. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is only available through the clinical study in the United States.

The purpose of this study is to understand whether there may be certain characteristics or patterns that might predict seizure events in patients undergoing EEG monitoring and at home. Researchers will also be assessing the comfort and usability of a new device called NextSense EEG earbud device at the same time as routine inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) admissions, as well as device use in the home environment. In order to enroll in the at-home extension, the participant must be enrolled in the inpatient EMU admission portion of the study. Participants will be asked to assess their mood, sleep quality, and the comfort and usability of the device during their inpatient admission at regular intervals. If participating in the at-home extension, these same assessment questionnaires, in addition to a seizure diary, will be completed by participants at regular intervals.

This study is for men with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer, a low gene risk score and plan to receive radiation therapy with hormone therapy. The purpose of the study is to answer to find out if radiation therapy alone is as effective at controlling the cancer compared to the usual combination of radiation and hormone therapy. The study is also going to determine if adding another new hormone therapy drug to the usual combination of radiation and hormone therapy increase the length of time without the prostate cancer spreading compared to the usual treatment.
