Hand disability after stroke has a profound negative impact on functional ability and independence. Hand therapy may be augmented with sensory stimulation for better outcomes. We have developed a novel sensory stimulation - unfelt vibration applied via a wristwatch. In this study, we will determine if combining this stimulation with hand task practice is superior to hand task practice alone.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The investigational drug used is MK-3475 (pembrolizumab). The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using only the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), alone first versus the combination of the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), and chemotherapy. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years and followed for up to 5 years from when they began taking part in the study.

Individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, emphysema and who have been enrolled in the SPARTA trial will be invited to participate in this study. This is a two year extension of the SPARTA trial for subjects who did not receive the study drug (Alpha 1 Proteinase Inhibitor) and for those who complete the SPARTA trial. Participants will all receive weekly infusions of Alpha-1 MP 60mg/kg either at MUSC or at home with a home health nurse. All participants will have blood work, pulmonary function test and CT scans done as part of this study. Safety and side effects of all therapies will be monitored.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with with resectable High-risk Locally Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA cSCC). The investigational drug used in this study is Pembrolizumab. The purposes of this study are to: determine how well pembrolizumab keeps the cancer from coming back or spreading as compared to placebo, determine if giving pembrolizumab after surgery and radiation helps patients live longer, and to test the safety of the study drug and see how patients' bodies handle it. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 8 years. This includes the time that participants will be on study drug and in follow up to see if the cancer has come back or spread.

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase 2b clinical trial to characterize, examine and compare the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonist (semaglutide) in HIV-infected adult individuals with lipohypertrophy versus healthy controls with obesity but without HIV.

The two populations will be studied in separate but similarly-designed studies running in parallel.

Subjects in both populations will be assigned by chance (1:1) to semaglutide or placebo.

The purpose of this study is to better understand treatment practices for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease. This study is comparing the effectiveness and tolerability of taking 2 drugs compared to 3 drugs in people with MAC disease.

This study is for pediatric patients that have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors and hematological malignancies that have stopped responding to standard therapy. The investigational drugs in this study are durvalumab and tremelimumab. The purpose of this research study to find out if the study drugs called durvalumab and tremelimumab will work and be safe for the treatment of advanced cancer in children. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 6 years.

Patients who present to MUSC's Chest Pain Center with acute chest pain and have undergone coronary computerized tomography angiography or triple rule-out computed tomography imaging showing an intermediate stenosis will be prospectively selected. Consented patients will then have their clinical indicated coronary computerized tomography angiography or triple rule-out computed tomography imaging undergo an expedited computed tomography-fractional flow reserve analysis analysis. This analysis will be provided to Chest Pain Center physician of record to aid in downstream patient treatment decision making. Patients will then be followed-up at 3-months via telephone call and electronic medical records review.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed metastatic germ cell tumors. This study will compare the standard chemotherapy regimen with an accelerated chemotherapy regimen using the same drugs to see if the accelerated chemotherapy regimen is beneficial but not more toxic than the standard chemotherapy regimen. The accelerated chemotherapy is experimental. Participants can expect to be on study for about 3 months and continue to be followed for up to 5 years.

The goal of this cohort and biorepository is to collect data and blood specimens on individuals with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), pulmonary disease, and healthy adults to better understand the illness and ultimately improve the care and survival of those with these conditions.
