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…

For over 30 years, The Columbia University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) has worked with thousands of participants who have helped provide important insights into how the brain ages and why Alzheimer's disease may develop. We are actively recruiting adults 65 years of age and older who share our commitment to be part of this…
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 know that puberty is a major time of change! Adolescents develop new decision-making skills and independence. It is possible that some of these changes are due to the hormonal changes during puberty. One of the ways we treat transgender and gender non-conforming teens is to suppress or "block" puberty. We know that this is a safe thing to do…

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…
A significant focus of healthcare research is aimed at biomarker discoveries in brain and heart diseases in particular, and their impact on the human body in general. MRI is a key component in these healthcare services. It provides a non-invasive and non-ionizing approach to diagnose pathologies along with significant internal and external contrast…

This is a research study for persons with memory problems that examines the utility of performing positron emission tomography (PET) scans for the brain amyloid protein found in Alzheimer's disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and adverse reactions of the various types of noninvasive positive pressure supportive use in the management of children with moderate to severe acute asthma exacerbation.
Columbia Medical Center is recruiting for a study to test whether the drug oxytocin can improve symptoms of emotion and behavior (e.g. apathy) in people with frontotemporal dementia. The study will last for up to 24 weeks (6 months). This is a crossover study, which means that each participant will receive both oxytocin and placebo (medically inactive…
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…
This is a 22-week treatment, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the study drug E2027, in participants with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) Lewy Body Dementia - LBD. The main purpose of this research study is to find if a new drug called E2027 works in people who…
