Are you planning on having an IUD placed? If you are already planning to get an IUD, this study gives the chance to receive extra pain medication during insertion. Everyone will receive standard pain medication, and 2/3 of volunteers will receive extra. We are looking to see if giving ketorolac pills 1-hour vs 2-hours before an IUD decreases pain levels. We would need 3 hours of in-person clinic time from volunteers. Compensation provided.
This trial seeks to enroll patients diagnosed with HER2-negative (HER2- low or HER2-0)- MBC who are starting treatment with T-DXd. The purpose is to determine if the test used for HER2+ MBC also works for HER2-low MBC. By participating in this trial, you are contributing to information that may improve the care of future patients with HER2-negative (HER2- low or HER2-0)- MBC. This trial does not require additional biopsies. Only tissue left over from a standard-of-care procedure will be used. The study team will access your medical record to review routine imaging test results as well as track your response to your treatment. Your breast cancer care will be managed by your oncologist, and you won't need to interact with the study team for direct care. No extra visits with the study team are required, except possibly for the initial enrollment.
The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended Phase 2 dose of IOV-3001 infusion given after lifileucel to participants with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) melanoma who meet the requirements for treatment with lifileucel. The study duration for each participant will be up to about 6 months (Phase 1, Part 1) or 5 years (Phase 1, Part 2) after the lifileucel dose. Study intervention begins with surgery to get a tumor sample that will be used to make lifileucel
If you have protein in the urine and African descent, Hispanic or American Indian you might have a gene call APOL1 contributing kidney disease. This study will test if you have change in the gene. If you do have that change you can participate in this study .
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety of a gene therapy. Scientists have created a gene in the laboratory that could be transferred to the cells in the body. This gene carries information to tell the cells how to make an antibody (protein). The antibody (protein) is very similar to an antibody (protein) called blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is an FDA-approved treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL. This gene therapy is not approved by the FDA, therefore is it experimental. This study tests different doses of the gene therapy to see which dose is safer in people since it has not been tested in people yet.
Do you have depression and are currently experiencing depression symptoms? We are conducting a treatment trial to see whether non-invasive brain stimulation that matches your brain waves can improve depression symptoms. This is a randomized controlled trial where participants will be randomly assigned to receive active or placebo (fake) stimulation. Compensation is provided.
Do you have early-stage breast cancer that is considered low-risk by your doctor? If yes, you might be able to join a research study. In this study, we are testing if taking a lower dose of the medicine tamoxifen is a better treatment for you than the usual hormone therapy.
We are doing this study to learn from adults with intellectual disabilities and their care partners about experiences with technology, school and community activities, and the kinds of knowledge that help people with intellectual disabilities as they become adults. This information will be used to help create online e-learning tools.
Have you been diagnosed with Stage 4 HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to test the safety and effectiveness of a sequence of drugs (a taxane plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by trastuzumab Deruxtecan, followed by tucatinib plus Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), followed by trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus tucatinib) to learn whether the treatment works in treating your type of cancer. The study will help us understand whether first intensifying therapy for a specific period and then stopping treatment is safe and effective for patients who receive this therapy.
Do you have lupus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM)? You may be eligible for a new CAR-T therapy conducted at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Please reach out to learn more about this new innovative treatment.
