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.
This study is being done to determine if REGN2810 (anti-PD-1) in combination with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) plus initial platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, or REGN2810 in combination with ipilimumab will prolong how long you live without your disease progressing compared to the standard of care pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) monotherapy treatment. Neither…
We are conducting a survey to gather feedback about lung cancer patients experience with treatment and the challenges you faced. Your insights can help shape better care for future patients and explore how technology can be of help! The survey takes 30-40 minutes, and eligible participants who complete it will receive a gift card. Interested in…
We are doing this study because we want to find out if MRI brain scans alone is better or worse than MRI brain scans plus preventative brain radiation for patients with small lung cancer. The usual approach for patients with small cell lung cancer is prophylactic cranial irradiation. If you decide to take part in this study, you will either receive PCI for…
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of GT005 administered as a single subretinal injection in individuals with geographic atrophy secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who qualify, based on genetic testing.
Stargardt macular degeneration isa genetic condition, which in mostcases causes vision loss early in lifeand leads to legal blindness. Thereis currently no FDA-approvedtreatment.This trial will evaluate the safetyand effects of ALK-001, a newpotential drug treatment, on theprogression of Stargardt disease.ALK-001 is a capsule administereddaily by mouth.This…
This purpose of this study is to determine whether the tumor cells of lung cancer patients contain changes to the DNA sequence of two proteins found on the cells surface- ALK and EGFR. If the tumor contains changes to the DNA of one of these proteins, the patient may be invited to participate on a trial that will look at drugs which may target tumors that…
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
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…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
The abicipar is an injectable medication stored as a liquid in a single-use glass vial for delivery into the back of the eye. The active component is a protein drug that was made using bioengineering technology. It was designed to bind to and inactivate a protein called Vascular Endothelial GrowthFactor (VEGF) that plays an important role in causing AMD.…
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that damages the macula. The macula is the part of the eye that is responsible for central vision, which is needed to perform straight-ahead activities, such as reading, driving, or watching TV. This research is being conducted to learn about the safety and efficacy (how effectively the study drug works) of…
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…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
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…
