This study is looking for individuals who have resistant hypertension. This is a non-interventional research study and it does not involve a new drug or treatment. The goal of this study is to find out how many people with resistant hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that is hard to control, also have high levels of a hormone called cortisol. High cortisol levels, a condition called hypercortisolism, may make it more difficult to manage blood pressure. If you join the study, you will attend two to three clinic visits. During the first visit, you will go to the clinic for a short checkup. You will have vitals and your medical history reviewed. You will also have a blood draw and be given a pill called dexamethasone which will help us assess your cortisol levels. At your second visit you will fast and have a your blood collected to review your cortisol levels. If necessary, you will be invited for a third visit where you will get a CT scan. The risks associated with the study include bruising, dizziness, or, in rare cases, infection from blood draws, allergic reactions from taking the dexamethasone pill, and exposure to radiation from the CT scan. The study will be completed over the course of 2-3 visits in one months timeframe.

This phase 2 study is screening patients who may have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study is a non-treatment protocol and the first step of taking part in myeloMATCH, which is a clinical trial. The main purpose of the study is to see if testing on patient's bone marrow and blood results in finding certain biomarkers that will qualify participants for the treatment study or for Standard of Care (SOC) therapies. The study will enroll approximately 5000 patients. The study has two periods, initial and post-treatment screening. It takes about four days for the study doctor to receive the screening results and the patient's first treatment assignment in myeloMATCH. Patients will complete post-treatment screening after their participation in treatment trials or SOC therapies. It will take about 11 days for the study doctor to receive these results and decide their next treatment assignment. Further testing may match patients with myeloMATCH substudies in the future. The main risk is that biomarker test results may be wrong. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who are at risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a prevention treatment combination called Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Ruxolitinib compared to Standard of Care (SOC), Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide/Tacrolimus/Mycophenolate Mofetil. Ruxolitinib (Rux) is an approved treatment for GVHD. This study is divided into two parts. The first part, called the run-in phase, will investigate the best dose of Ruxolitinib. The second part of the study will compare the SOC combination therapy with the investigational combination therapy (which will include Ruxolitinib). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups (like flipping a coin). The study will enroll up to 572 patients nationwide and 5 at MUSC. The participants can expect to be involved in the study for at least 24 months. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. The most common side effects expected from the investigational combination therapy are high cholesterol, increased liver enzymes, low platelet levels, and low red blood cell counts. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of the combination of an investigational vaccine, PDS0101, given by subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and the standard of care, Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA), given intravenously ("IV;" into the vein) compared to pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) alone for those with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and high risk papillomavirus infection. "Investigational" means the combination of the study vaccine and pembrolizumab being tested has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor any other Health Authority.

This is a non-interventional, prospective, post authorization safety study. Patients with gMG who are expected to start treatment with efgartigimod at enrolment or are within their first cycle of efgartigimod at enrolment will be eligible to enroll into the efgartigimod cohort. Patients with gMG who have not been exposed to efgartigimod and for whom it is not planned to start treatment with efgartigimod at enrolment will be eligible to enroll into the non-efgartigimod cohort.
Enrolment of patients will be over at least a 5-year period. The follow up of patients will continue for 5 years from the time the last patient has been enrolled. Patients will be followed up regardless of whether they continue or discontinue efgartigimod.

Sharing Our Stories: The Realities of Living with Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (EDS) is a research study to help better understand what it is like to live with EDS. Adults with EDS will complete a one-time video interview with a member of the research team. We hope to better understand the challenges adults with EDS face and learn from them things that make it more difficult and easier to receive care, what their needs are and recommendations for improving an earlier diagnosis, care, and treatment.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors. This study is testing an investigational drug called BNT317. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, absorption of BNT317. BNT317 is administered via intravenous (IV) infusion. Participants can continue to receive this study drug until it no longer gives them benefit. Researchers will continue to follow-up with patients long-term.

This research study is for adult patients diagnosed with Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC). The purpose of this study is to determine how often genetic variants are found in patients with UTUC. As part of this research study, the research team will collect health information about you from your medical record and blood, saliva, and tissue samples will be collected for genetic testing.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether 4 weeks of at-home transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can reduce chronic pain after a stroke. We will recruit up to 24 participants with chronic post-stroke upper extremity pain. The goal is to determine if there is a pain reduction after ear stimulation.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug called bemnifosbuvir-ruzasvir (BEM/RZR) in comparison to the FDA approved comparator drug in treating chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection.
