The purpose of this study is to conduct interviews to hear people's thoughts and feedback on various aspects of conducting syphilis vaccine research at UNC-Chapel Hill and to ask them to complete a brief online survey after their interviews. The information that participants provide will help the clinical trial researchers to better understand what concerns people might have about syphilis vaccine research and to design clinical trials that are acceptable to potential vaccine research participants.
Have you been recently diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma? Are you over 75 years of age? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the safety of giving a new study drug CC-486 (oral azacitidine) in addition to the standard chemotherapy drug combination used to treat this disease.
To evaluate whether early drug treatment extends overall survival compared with delayed drug treatment with high-risk (chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL] newly diagnosed asymptomatic CLL/SLL patients.
1. Are you 18 years of age or older? 2. Have you been diagnosed with a blood clot in the past? (more than 3 months ago) 2. Do you have leg heaviness, fatigue, swelling, aching or pain? If you answered all three questions "YES" then you might be a perfect fit for the C-TRACT study.
In this study, we want to learn more about mental health stigma and mental health history. We also would like to learn about how these factors affect a person's willingness to participate in therapy.
To find the safest and most tolerable dose of CAR.B7-H3 T cells to administer in patients with relapsed/refractory platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of cancer treatment that work by over-activating the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. This type of treatment can sometimes lead to side effects that look like autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system attacks the body). We want to collects samples and clinical data from cancer patients taking ICI therapy to understand why some patients get side effects and others don't.
The purpose of the SUNBEAM study is to learn more about factors that put babies and toddlers at higher risk for developing food allergies and eczema. This is an observational study, where we will follow pregnant mothers and their babies from birth to 3 years to learn more about how allergies develop. We are doing this research because there are currently no reliable ways to predict which children will develop food allergies.
There are 3 different non-invasive devices that are used to test how stiff your arteries are. We want to learn if these devices give us similar measurements. This will allow us to compare data across different devices, which will assist with future research.
We are researching the genetics of those who have major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder and have received or been evaluated for interventional treatments such as ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), esketamine, and ketamine. "GenECT" is a research study to find ways to improve treatment for severe depression. We want to answer questions like: "Why do some people get severe depression and other people do not?" "Why do interventional treatments like ECT benefit some people more than others?" The GenECT study is a global effort to understand the genetics of severe depression. Dozens of doctors and scientists from around the world are working together with tens of thousands of patients to find out the answers to these questions. UNC is a lead site in this global effort.
