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…
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of immunotherapy nivolumab and the targeted therapy cabozantinib prior to removal of the kidney will increase the number subjects who are without any visible kidney cancer in their body at some point during the course of treatment. The study will also evaluate the changes that nivolumab and cabozantinib…
The purpose of this study is to study two experimental drugs called canakinumab and spartalizumab produced by Novartis to see if: It is safe and feasible to give canakinumab and spartalizumab prior to radical nephrectomy; canakinumab and spartalizumab can kill cancer cells and bring immune cells into the kidney cancer when given to human subjects prior to…
Pain is a natural response to injury to let us know there may be damage to our bodies. Pain is the way our body tells us that we must take care of ourselves. Chronic pain is different and lasts for a long time. In some cases, chronic pain remains without any sign of body damage. Today, there is no way for a doctor to measure someone's chronic pain or…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
