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 (…
Axitinib (AG-013736) is an investigational (experimental) drug that is being studied in patients with metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. The main goal of this study is to find out if axitinib is able to stop tumors from growing, or shrink tumors in patients with this type of cancer.
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…
This research study is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nivolumab as treatment for…
This study will test whether cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab is more effective (works better) than nivolumab plus ipilimumab alone in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer who have not received prior treatment for their cancer. This study will also examine how safe cabozantinib is in combination with nivolumab plus…
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…
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…
We are doing this study to test a drug called MGD009. MGD009 is like an antibody, which is a protein in your blood that helps get rid of germs in your body. MGD009 is made to attach to cancer cells and to T-cells, which are a part of your immune system. Certain T cells have the ability to kill other cells, including cancer cells. By attaching to cancer…
You are invited to join voluntarily in a clinical research study to find out if the drug LXS196 alone or in combination with HDM201 is safe and has beneficial effects in people who have metastatic uveal melanoma. The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of LXS196 that can be given safely without unacceptable side effects as a single drug…
This research study is being done to see if the study drug, IMCgp100, works and is safe as treatment for subjects with uveal melanoma who also test positive for HLA-A*0201. In this study IMCgp100 will be compared to three standard treatments: dacarbazine (a chemotherapy drug), ipilimumab (an immunotherapy drug), or pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug).…
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, intermittent dosing of the medication Selumetinib will have on you and your uveal melanoma. Selumetinib is a medication that blocks (or turns off) MEK, a protein activated in some uveal melanoma cells. Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor. Blocking MEK may stop your cancer from growing.
This study is for patients who have renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of kidney cancer) and are at a high risk of disease coming back (disease recurrence) following either nephrectomy (surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney) or metastasectomy (removal of cancerous growth that has spread away from your kidney). The purpose of this study is to…
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…
This is a Phase I study of a weekly intra-patient escalation dose regimen with IMCgp100 in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). To help decide whether or not patients can take part in a research study looking at a new form of treatment for advanced uveal melanoma, their blood need to first be tested to determine their Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA…
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).
