The study treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have long lasting kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury and inflammation in the heart and kidney which is known to play a role in CKD. In this study, the researchers want to learn if finerenone works the same way in kidney transplant recipients. Some subjects will receive the study drug and some will receive a placebo.

Do you have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has come back after receiving standard therapy? If so, you may be able to participate in this gene therapy research study to learn more about using you own modified immune cells as possible treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the risk of severe and fatal infusion-related reactions (IRR) in patients with multiple myeloma who are treated with their first 3 administrations of daratumumab. Examples of severe IRR include lung tightness, low oxygen levels, difficulty breathing, high blood pressure, racing heart, headache, and too much fluid in the lungs. No fatal IRRs have been observed in clinical trials of daratumumab. We are also doing this study to help us to identify potential risk factors for IRR.

Have you ever wondered what environmental toxins you are exposed to on a daily basis, and how it might affect your health? The STRIVE study is looking for volunteers who would like to provide blood, urine, and/or saliva, as well as home samples such as soil, dust, and/or water. In this study, we want to learn more about the environmental factors that contribute to advanced liver disease and liver cancer. We are looking for healthy volunteers and people with liver cirrhosis who live in either North Carolina or Georgia to take part.
We are conducting a study to ask young adults with cervical cancer what information they think would be useful to include in a skill-building program to help navigate the financial aspects of cancer treatment. We will interview young adults with cervical cancer to learn about what is important to them and then ask for feedback on versions of the program as we develop it.
