This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The investigational drug in this study is idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel). The purpose of this study is to provide the investigational drug as a possible cancer treatment that would otherwise be unavailable. Patients can expect to have about 8 clinic visits and to be in this study for up to 3 months after receiving the study drug and in follow up for up to 15 years.
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 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
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 study team is recruiting 25 adults with spasticity due to chronic stroke for a 4 day study. In people with chronic stroke, one of the most common and disabling problems is spasticity (increased muscle tone or muscle stiffness). The purpose of this research study is to examine effects of dry needling on the nervous system (pathways between the muscle, spinal cord, and brain) in people with spasticity due to chronic stroke. Dry needling is a procedure in which a thin, stainless steel needle is inserted into the skin to produce a muscle twitch response. It is intended to release a knot in a person's muscle and relieve pain.
The total study duration is 3 visits over 4 days. The first visit will last about 3 hours, and the second and third visits will last about 1.5 hours. Dry needling will take place on the first visit only. During each visit the participant will be asked to participate in examinations of reflexes (muscle responses to non-invasive nerve stimulation) and leg function.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed or refractory CD22+ B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). The overall goal of this study is to find out what effect, good and/or bad, the drug inotuzumab ozogamicin has on children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-ALL. Participants can expect to be on this study for up 2 months and followed for up to 5 years.
A main focus of the study is to identify characteristics that can be changed such as smoking, vaping and diet, environmental exposures (e.g. pollution such as car exhaust, allergies such as pet dander) that affect lung function and risk of future lung disease. We also are looking for biomarkers (e.g. measurements of specific substances in nose, blood, and urine samples) and genetic markers that can provide us with information about lung health. The findings in this study are considered research and are not the same as "genetic testing."
The purpose of this project is to study DNA and its connection to your health. DNA is in your blood, your saliva, and other tissues in your body. DNA is the unique instructions you are born with that tells your body how to work. By looking at DNA, you can learn information about your health, certain traits, and even your ancestral roots. DNA is also called your genetic information. DNA is mostly the same from person to person. But everyone's DNA is slightly different. We are still learning how DNA impacts health. This study will look at the DNA of many different people from many different backgrounds and compare it to information in their health records. The goal is to understand how learning about DNA can help improve health care for individuals, families, and the community.
Participants will provide a sample for DNA sequencing. Sequencing is the process of reading the letters of your DNA. This study may sequence your whole genome. Over time, you may be asked to provide additional samples for research purposes. The research team will collect health information about you from your medical record and may ask you questions about your health using surveys or other data collection method.
