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 study is called a screening study and the purpose of this study to find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia that has come back after treatment or difficult to treat. Bone marrow, blood, and medical information about cancer and treatment will be collected. The results from this screening study may give other information about leukemia that is…
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).
This is a Phase 1 study of a drug called uproleselan. We are testing new experimental drugs such as uproleselan in the hopes of finding a treatment that may be effective against acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that has come back or that has not responded to standard therapy. This study looks at how well…
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.
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of Quizartinib that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which has come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Quizartinib will be given by mouth once a day from Day 6 through Day 28. It will be given in combination with…
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…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the drugs called Nivolumab and 5-Azacytidine can be given safely in children and young adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has come back after treatment or has not responded to standard therapy. These drugs are thought to work by turning on genes that limit the growth of cancer cells. The study drugs…
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 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 find the best dose of pevonedistat that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that has either come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Pevonedistat works by blocking some of the enzymes that are needed for cell growth.
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…
This is a Phase 1 multicenter study of Decitabine (DEC) and Vorinostat (VOR) followed by the standard chemotherapy drugs (Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG)). The study treatment is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)…
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…
This clinical trial is for patients diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis that are at high risk of a stroke. Carotid artery stenosis develops as a result of plaque buildup in the carotid artery. Over time plaque buildup creates a narrowing of the carotid artery, restricting the flow of blood. Thus, increasing the risk of stroke. In this research study 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.
