This is a Prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label two-arm trial with an adaptive design that will randomize about 1252 subjects at approximately 120 US and international centers. The study is looking to see if a device called the Impella device will improve the way the heart works as well as if health is improved as compared to…
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 primary objective is to demonstrate that physiologically-guided stenting using the Philips SyncVision iFR co-registration is superior with respect to clinical outcomes compared to PCI guided by angiography alone. Secondary objectives include: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of physiology guidance with SyncVision compared to a standard of care PCI…
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…
This study is trying to determine if using a Dynamic Coronary Roadmap (which is a software used along with an x-ray imaging system) reduces the total iodine contrast volume per Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure compared to procedures performed without Dynamic Coronary Roadmap. This X-ray system provides imaging support while directing the…
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.
This is a prospective, single arm, three stage, multi-site, clinical investigation evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Carag Bioresorbable Septal Occluder (CBSO) to treat patients with clinically significant hole in the atrial septal defect compared to other commercially approved devices. The study is being done to determine the safety and efficacy of…
This prospective, multicenter, open-label, single arm, first-in human study will enroll up to 75 subjects aimed at examining the performance of the LAAC device for LAA closure.
The purpose of this research study, is to learn whether an experimental device (called Evolut R) can help clear hardened blockage in coronary arteries (blood vessels that feed the heart muscle) in patients with a disease is called aortic stenosis.Subjects that choose to participate and are eligible will have their interventional cardiologist use this device…
The purpose of this study is to see if a new medication called ticagrelor given twice daily ismore effective than aspirin alone in preventing the occurrence of heart attack, stroke and/ordeath due to cardiovascular events in patients who have type 2 diabetes. Ticagrelor is anantiplatelet therapy (stop platelets from clumping together) and is approved for…
The Saranas Early Bird Bleed The Saranas study uses a device is called the Early Bird Bleed Monitoring System (EBBMS) and it is intended to provide physicians with an early indication of a potential internal bleeding complication due to vessel injury that may occur during the procedure before any symptoms present.
The purpose of this study is to survey patients who have undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Columbia University Medical Center in which the physician used a stent called the Promus Premier stent. Patients will be asked to do a brief 15-30 minute survey regarding their health since the PCI and stent implantation.
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…
This study has been designed to treat patient with coronary artery disease and demonstrate the superiority of the OCT device used to select and guide the stenting procedure when collecting images and flow measures inside the blocked artery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Biosensors BioFreedom Biolimus A9 Drug Coated Coronary Stent on people with coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart arteries) to determine if it is safe and effective.
This is a research study designed to look at the safety and effectiveness of the TriGUARD 3 cerebral embolic protection device in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The purpose of the study is to assess whether the TriGUARD 3 can prevent death, stroke, more subtle signs of brain injury, and/or silent brain injury as measured…
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to shorten the length of time that people at high risk for bleeding take blood thinners after being treated with a coronary stent.
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…
The purpose of this study is to collect data for evaluating VFR (Virtual Flow Reserve) in comparison with standard FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) when patients undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat blockage or narrowing in the heart artery or arteries.
This study is for patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and require a stent placement. The purpose of this clinical research study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Orsiro stent or a non-investigational Xience stent. The Orsiro stent is investigational, which means it is not yet approved by the FDA and can only be used in research…
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…
