The purpose of this study is to better understand why certain patients are more likely to respond totreatment than others, to facilitate the development of personalized medicinesto get the rightmedicine to the right patient. To achieve this goal, samples of blood will be collected from patients with Alzheimer's for future research. The sample will be…
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of an investigational drug called nivolumab (also known as BMS-936558). Nivolumab is an antibody (a type of human protein) that is being tested to see if it will allow the bodys immune system to work against tumor cells. The effectiveness of BMS-936558…
The purpose of this study is to: See if taking the study agent, armodafinil, at a dose of 150mg or 250mg, will improve problems with fatigue in patients who have been diagnosed with cancer and are experiencing fatigue. See the effects (good and bad) of taking Armodafinil compared to placebo (an inactive agent) on cancer-related fatigue
Peripheral Neuropathy is a result of nerve damage, which may cause weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain in your hands, feet, and other areas of your body. Over 20 million Americans are affected by peripheral neuropathy, most commonly caused by diabetes. In approximately 25-50% of all people with peripheral neuropathy, the cause is unknown. These cases…
Two different studies have been developed to treat people with anaplastic glioma brain tumors. Onetreatment research study requires a tumor that has the 1p/19q co-deletion tumor marker; the other does not. This treatment research study requires that the subject has a certain kind of tumor, one that is missing part of both chromosomes 1 and 19. These missing…
This is a study for patients diagnosed with either breast cancer that is HER-2 positive, or breast cancer that is negative for estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 (triple-negative disease), and whose tumor can be removed by breast-conserving surgery. The purpose of this study is to test whether patients undergoing a breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)…
This study is for patients with Parkinson's disease. For most patients with Parkinsons disease, doctors use levodopa as a treatment to manage their symptoms. Levodopa pills have been used for many years to treat the symptoms of Parkinsons disease patients. However, with long-term treatment, the effectiveness of levodopa pills often lessens and can lead…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if systematic cognitive training can improve cognitive performance in participants (ages 55-95 years) with memory loss. This study will evaluate the effects of Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) for improvement in everyday cognitive and function status, in addition to long-term changes in brain networks over an 18…
This study examines diffuse optical tomography (DOT) as a way to monitor the progress of the breast cancer therapy. Specifically, it looks at DOTs ability to detect non-responders early in treatment and then adjust the therapy to improve response and overall survival. DOT is favorable to more conventional forms of cancer monitoring, such as physical exams,…
The purpose of this study is to look for abnormal genes and gene expression profiles that help determine why a person develops amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron diseases (MND) and why their symptoms present and progress with a particular pattern. For up to three years, subjects will be followed every 3 months at the Columbia ALS…
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different doses of ZN-c5 on levels of hormone (estrogen) receptors in breast cancer and how large that effect is for each dose level. The amount of reduction in hormone receptors may indicate that the drug is doing what it intends to do and how effective it is. The results will help define what an…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of study drug cobimetinib and paclitaxel for patients with metastatic truple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). In this study, you will receive either a combination of cobimetinib and paclitaxel or placebo (no active medication) and paclitaxel. The study will also evaluate what side effects…
The purpose of this study is to see how effective two doses of an investigational new drug called IgPro20 is when given subcutaneously (a shot given into the fat layer between the skin and the muscle) to treat CIDP in patients that still require IVIG and also to look at how safe the IgPro20 is for patients.
This is a research study to test the effectiveness of Toca 511/Toca FC, an experimental drug, for treatment of recurring brain tumors compared to current standard of care. The study will enroll 370 subjects age 18-85 years who choose to undergo removal of the tumor a second time. At the time of surgery patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to…
