Phase II Study of Trilaciclib and Lurbinectidin

People with SCLC are usually treated with a combination of drugs that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, these drugs may no longer be working in controlling your cancer or may not be a good treatment option for you. This study uses an investigational combination of drugs, trilaciclib and lurbinectedin. The purpose of this study is to test whether trilaciclib helps minimize the side effects of lurbinectedin and therefore improve the safety of lurbinectedin for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Walking Training for Parkinson disease

People with Parkinson disease often develop difficulty walking. Metronomes are thought to help improve walking. We believe that setting metronomes slower while walking on a treadmill and faster when walking over the ground may target certain portions of gait. Our goal is to create beneficial changes in the way that people walk that persist and can be seen in the long-term.

North Carolina Victims of Crime Needs Assessment

In this study, we want to learn if existing services meet the needs of people who experience crime in North Carolina. Specifically, we will focus on whether these services meet the needs of crime victims from historically underserved populations. We also want to learn whether service accessibility is different across the state. Although the assessment is meant to cover all North Carolinians, the GCC and research team have identified specific priority populations, including: veterans, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, teens, people from religious minority groups, people who are unhoused/experiencing homelessness, co-victims of homicide, indigenous communities, people with limited English proficiency, and people of color.
