We are interested in learning more about these diseases and how to treat them. Our research program is conducting several studies including: a study to learn if treatment with a drug named dupilumab can help reduce asthma attacks in children, a study to observe a specific type of irritation in the lungs and how it relates to asthma symptoms, and more! If…
This is a prospective multicenter study whose purpose is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves with Commander delivery system in patients with severe symptomatic calcific mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification (which is a progressive loss of function of the mitral valve due to…
Dance is a complex activity involving the integration of rhythm, spatial patterns, synchronization to external stimuli and whole-body coordination. While regular exercise is often recommended for people with Huntington's Disease (HD), there are no studies examining the use of dance to improve balance and mobility and positively affect the quality of…
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team. In this trial,…
The study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System to the MitraClip System for reduction of degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Columbia University Medical Center along with other large medical centers across the country is participating in a research study of 6 to 17 year olds with and without asthma.
The study population includes up to 110 adult male and female participants ages 18-55 years. Participants may have multiple food allergies but must be peanut allergic in order to be included. Safety assessments will include the following: physical examination, vital signs, laboratory evaluations, and ECG (electrocardiogram).
The DIMENSION Study is evaluating the safety and effect on cognitive symptoms of an investigational oral drug in adults with early Huntington's disease. Cognitive symptoms may include difficulty paying attention or trouble thinking through steps of an activity or complex problems. Symptoms may also include difficulty planning, remembering, and staying…
The goal of this study is to determine if treating acute wheezing episodes with a 5-day course of an antibiotic called, Azithromycin is effective in shortening the duration and preventing future wheezing episodes. Azithromycin is an antibiotic taken by mouth.
Precision medicine is an individual-based care, a new approach to care based on someone's medical history, where they live, and profile (age, gender, and so on). We will use precision medicine to understand treatments for severe asthma. These treatments are not yet used for asthma today. We have two goals for the PrecISE study: 1. Make it easier to…
We are doing this research study to find out how to make it easier for people with asthma to understand and use information about their asthma through images, graphs, or diagrams. We are looking for teen-parent/guardian pairs. To be eligible, you must be a parent/guardian (18 or older) of a teen (age 12-17) who takes certain inhaled controller medication(s…
This study is designed to look at the safety and performance of The Intrepid TMVR System using transfemoral transseptal access (TF). TF is a procedure that requires access to the femoral vein by an incision in the lower limb between the knee and the hip. The study population is for patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), a condition…
The Millipede Feasibility Study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study to assess the safety and feasibility of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation. The Millipede Annuloplasty Ring System is a novel transcatheter, fully adjustable, complete annuloplasty repair device for the treatment…
The population includes males and females of all ages with one or more food allergy or those who are at risk of mortality from food-induced anaphylaxis. The FARE Patient Registry is a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study of patients with food allergy. The participant and the treating physician agree that he/she will complete…
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether a new investigational drug called SRX246, which might be useful to Huntington's Disease (HD) patients who sometimes feel irritable, angry, or even aggressive, is well tolerated and safe when it is given two times a day by mouth at doses as high as 160 mg. As part of this study, we will use a…
How does the light we experience in day-to-day life affect our body clock? Interested in joining a new project to help scientists at Columbia University understand how light pollution and light-at-night affects our body clock? You or your child may be eligible to participate. The study involves wearing a small light sensor on a lanyard and a temperature…
This study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety profile of dupilumab over one year in a population of asthmatic children in need for an additional treatment to their current maintenance management. Patients are randomized to either dupilumab or matching placebo administered standard care for a maximum treatment duration of 52 weeks. The…
Asthma registry to maintain and expand a database of participants with asthma who may be able to participate in future Inner City Asthma Consortium studies.
This trial is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the AccuCinch system in patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction HFrEF
This is an experimental research study for individuals with allergy to peanuts or peanut-containing food. Oral (by mouth, not injection) immunotherapy may reduce a patients sensitivity to a specific allergen by exposing the patient to small amounts of the substance causing the allergic reaction and then gradually increasing the amount of allergen over time…
The reason for this nationwide study is to help us learn if treatment with German cockroach extract, given as allergy shots, given along with standard asthma care makes children less likely to have asthma symptoms. The study will take up to 36 months. Study visits will include questionnaires, a physical examination, an allergy skin test, breathing tests,…
The purpose of this global study is to provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of 210 mg dose of tezepelumab administered every 4 weeks subcutaneously in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older) with a history of asthma exacerbations and severe uncontrolled asthma receiving medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new device to treat patients who may benefit from the repair of their mitral heart valve due to mitral regurgitation. The device is called the Edwards Cardioband System (Edwards Cardioband System or the device). The device is investigational in the United States but has been approved in Europe. This clinical study…
