The Columbia University Department of Otolaryngology is interested in understanding altered flavor perception through the Cognitive Flavor Assessment Protocol (CFAP), a novel multisensory diagnostic and training framework that links smell and taste function to cognitive and emotional health. You can participate in this study if you are an adult between 18…
TReatment for ImmUne Mediated PathopHysiology (TRIUMPH) is a multi-center, three-arm clinical trial of immunosuppressive therapy for children with acute liver failure. This is a double-blind study, so the study doctors and participants will not know to which arm the participants are assigned. The study will determine if corticosteroids or equine anti-…
Our research team at Columbia University is trying to understand the impact of COVID-19 on smell and taste (chemosensory) dysfunction among adult patients from the Greater New York City area. Current areas of study include: 1) Investigation of smell and taste recovery patterns among patients with COVID-19; 2) Studies on how recovery of smell and taste after…
The purpose of this research study is to determine if an investigational drug, VS-01, will help in the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) compared to supportive care (standard of therapy). ACLF is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by a group of signs that occur together (syndrome) in patients with a late stage of…
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (how well the study drug works) of NBTRX3 administered via intratumoral injections (injected directly into tumor) and used together with radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab, and how it compares with radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab.…
The study involves research about MGA271 in combination with Keytruda. MGA271 targets cancer cells that make a lot of a protein called B7-H3. Another way to say it is that the cells "overexpress" the protein. Very few normal cells express B7-H3. MGA271 is though to work by recognizing cancer cells that overexpress B7-H3 and directing the body…
The purpose of this study is to study ADU-S100 and pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). This study aims to evaluate how safe and effective this drug combination is at treating your cancer. These drugs are thought to work by interacting with your immune system to in order to more effectively…
There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial based on a blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed…
