The purpose of this study is to gather data about the safety and effectiveness of a new, investigational device (not FDA approved), the Thor laser atherectomy system (Thor system), for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). When there is a blockage (a deposit on an artery wall, made of fat or calcium, and/or blood clots) in one or more of your…
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…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the mechanisms of hearing loss, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with hearing loss. Individuals with hearing loss will be compared to individuals with normal hearing.
Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease and the best hope for improving the chances of survival is to find it early. Some patients, called "high risk", have an inherited predisposition to pancreatic cancer. Certain medical centers have started programs where "high risk patients" undergo testing, such as receiving imaging scans, to look for…
The objective of this study is to learn more about how safe and effective the Bare Temporary Spur Stent System is when used in patients who have blocked arteries in their lower limbs. The selection of subjects will be those with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), a form of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in which an artery (blood vessel) in the lower leg (…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective the NanoKnife System is at treating Stage 3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This is registry study and therefore, the NanoKnife System is not being used for study purposes. The safety and efficacy of this system will be evaluated by comparing survival rates, pain ratings, and number of adverse…
The purpose of this study is to learn which treatment works best in patients with pancreatic cancer. The study explores multiple treatment combinations. A study drug called atezolizumab may be combined with other drugs such as cobimetinib, PEGPH20, and BL-8040. Patients may also be assigned to receive standard chemotherapy treatment.
The objective of the LIFE-BTK RCT is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ESPRIT BTK device (which is a bioresorbable polymeric scaffold with the everolimus drug and a bioresorbable polymeric coating mounted on a balloon dilatation catheter) compared to Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA), which is is a procedure that can open up a blocked…
A research team at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is collecting information for a registry studying how safely and effectively the ClotTriever device works in treating patients at least 18 years old with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), or blood clots in the vessels of the leg. The sponsor of this study, Inari Medical, Inc., is paying the research…
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to use a virus to deliver a new gene to the inner ear of people with hearing loss. This is a kind of gene therapy which involves gene transfer. Once the genetic material and vector are surgically administered to you, it is not possible to remove these agents. The study is designed to evaluate…
The purpose of this study is to find out which doses of talimogene laherparepvec (T-Vec) can be given safely to patients with pancreatic cancer that is either too big to be taken out by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. The study will also see if T-Vec can cause tumor shrinkage or prevent its growth. To find out which doses are safe, all…
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medicine that is used to treat a variety of cancers. At high total (cumulative) doses it can be associated with progressive and irreversible hearing loss. The purpose of this study is see if injections of OTO-104 can protect against hearing loss associated with cisplatin therapy in the treatment of cancer. OTO-104 contains an…
Are you scheduled for an interventional vascular procedure, such as a Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR), or Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty (BAV)? If yes, you may be eligible for this trial. This research trial studies the safety and efficacy of an Investigational…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of study drug CCX168 when it is given to patients who are receiving the standard therapy for a certain type of vasculitis called ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The study will also assess the effectiveness of the study drug, CCX168, in combination with the standard treatment of AAV. This…
This research study is being conducted to see if a new treatment using a study drug called Olaparib given after platinum based chemotherapy treatments can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer from growing back. Participants will receive either Olaparib or placebo (no contains active medication) and will stay on the research study for as long as they are not…
Has your doctor determined that you have Type B Aortic Dissection and you would like to learn more about an alternative to open surgery? Type B Aortic Dissection patients are being invited to take part in a research study of an investigational device. Bolton Medical, Inc., the company sponsoring this clinical trial, is studying an investigational device…
The purpose of this study is see if an experimental gene product, the Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Plasmid (AMG0001) which will be injected into the affected leg's muscles is effective in treating the blockages in your leg without causing adverse effects. Affected leg means the leg that has the severest disease relating to the blockage or narrowing…
The purpose of this study is to test whether GVAX pancreas vaccine and CRS-207 together are safe and work better than chemotherapy to treat individuals with advanced pancreatic cancer who have received at least one prior chemotherapy treatment for metastatic cancer. This study will also look at whether CRS-207 alone is safe and works better than…
Has your doctor determined that you have Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), and that an artery in your upper leg is blocked as a result? Is blood flow to your upper leg(s) blocked?This study will test the safety and effectiveness of the PQ Bypass System (two catheters called the DETOUR Crossing Device and the DETOUR Snare) in improving blood flow to your…
Acute inner ear hearing loss is the sudden onset of hearing loss, usually in one ear, without any known cause. Acute hearing loss can permanently destroy some of the hair cells (that govern the sense of hearing) and / or hearing nerve in the inner ear.The drug AM-111 has been developed to protect the hearing cells and nerve following sudden inner ear…
All vascular repair and reconstruction surgery requires patching material. PhotoFix, made of cow heart membrane, is one of the FDA-approved patches on the market for use in vascular repair and reconstruction surgery. Other vascular patches on the market are also available and used by other surgeons for procedures like the one you need. This trial will study…
