This Phase III trial investigates if the incorporation of immunotherapy will improve progression-free survival (PFS) and maintain overall survival (OS) while simultaneously minimizing long-term morbidity and treatment-related mortality by reducing exposure to radiotherapy and high cumulative chemotherapy doses. The study will enroll patients ages 5 to 60…
This is a phase 1 study for participants with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) diagnosis.

Early Age-Related Hearing Loss Investigation (EARHLI) is a study to obtain information on how a hearing aid-based intervention can prevent cognitive decline in those at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most common chronic condition in older adults. The…
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…
In this study, you will be randomized to receive either a brochure or watch a video that discusses radiation and cancer clinical trials. In addition, you will complete questionnaires at seven time points: 1 questionnaire before radiotherapy, 4 questionnaires during the course of radiotherapy and 2 questionnaires at follow-up visits. The questionnaires and…
The purpose of this clinical research study is to develop a sample collection method that is less invasive than current endometrial sampling methods (uterine sample collection) and develop a diagnostic test from these samples which is as informative in diagnosing the absence of endometrial (uterine) cancer as currently available methods.
We are recruiting individuals and/or families with members under the age of 65 who have dementia or are experiencing memory problems. Our initial screening can be completed in person or over the phone. The evaluation will take about 1 to 1.5 hours per person and includes a: 1. Blood sample (5 tablespoons) or saliva (1 teaspoon) collection: These blood…
For over 30 years, The Columbia University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) has worked with thousands of participants who have helped provide important insights into how the brain ages and why Alzheimer's disease may develop. We are actively recruiting adults 65 years of age and older who share our commitment to be part of this…
