Have you been diagnosed with melanoma? If so, you may be eligible to take part in a research study looking at the safety of giving a combination of drugs called Ulixertinib and Palbociclib to patients with advanced melanoma.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about three kidney diseases called nephrotic syndrome: Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), Minimal Change Disease (MCD), and Membranous Nephropathy (MN). By collecting health information and laboratory samples from individuals who have these diseases and by making this information available to researchers, we hope to gain new knowledge about these diseases and to find better treatments for them.
We are looking for patients with kidney disease and healthy controls (no kidney disease) to provide blood samples, fill out surveys, and provide health related information to help investigators learn more about how to better diagnose and treat kidney disease. The information you provide will go into a "library" of data for doctors and researchers across the world to use for research projects. If you are a kidney patient, we are able to use your information to find out if you are eligible for treatment studies/other studies in the future.
Do you have bladder, kidney, prostate, or another genitourinary cancer diagnosis? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study collecting specimens (e.g., blood, urine, saliva, tissue) during your already scheduled appointments. Collecting these specimens may help researchers develop new ways to detect cancer earlier or to more effectively treat cancer.
To review the methods used in collecting mortality data in North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic, to understand why the ethnicity data had missing values and how that can be improved upon.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people use their eyes while working on tasks using multiple computer screens. We want to learn how eye movements change when people do structured tasks given by the research team compared to when they do their own regular work. This information can help us improve future technology, like smart glasses, to make working with virtual screens easier and more comfortable.
This study looks at how local governments, community groups, and residents work together to clean up parks that were found to have contamination, such as lead or other pollutants. The goal is to understand what helps these groups cooperate, share information, and rebuild trust. By learning from people involved in these efforts, the study hopes to find better ways for communities and officials to communicate and make decisions about keeping parks safe and healthy for everyone.
To evaluate the efficacy of tulisokibart compared with placebo as assessed by the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (<150) at Week 52
This study will explore the ways that anti-racism education via an analysis of structural racism and white race caucusing influence what white people do to navigate structural racism as it presents in the everyday.
To assess provider perspectives of the role of the clinical pharmacist within the chronic care management model, access to a clinical pharmacist, and satisfaction with disease state impact and changes of care recommended by clinical pharmacists.
