Recovery after a stem cell transplant can already be challenging without the added worry of life-threatening viral…
This study is testing a drug called GDC-8264, which is being developed to treat acute graft-versus-host-disease (acute GVHD). GDC-8264 is an experimental drug, which means health authorities have not approved GDC-8264 in combination with standard medications for the treatment of acute GVHD. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good or bad,…
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and long-term effects of CK-3773274 and to learn how well it is tolerated at different, increasing dose levels in participants with HCM.
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 primary objectives of this study are to measure the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow transplant (BMT) using specific chemotherapy in children with less severe SCD and to understand the long term effects of bone marrow transplant in children with SCD, by evaluating ovarian reserve, sickle cell related brain problems, sickle cell related kidney…
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 see whether or not the medicine, Abatacept, when given after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is effective in treating GVHD in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). We are also planning to gather additional information about the safety of treating sickle cell disease with a hematopoietic stem…
This is a research study of a new drug for the treatment of new onset chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). Chronic GVHD is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient's body. The current way to treat cGVHD is to use prednisone (a type of…
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.
The main purpose of the study is to find out about whether the study drug is safe in humans and aneffective treatment in pediatric patients with acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD mayoccur after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in which someone receives bone marrow tissue orcells from a donor (called an allogeneic transplant). The new,…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the investigational drug, Mavacamten, to a placebo (an inactive drug). This is being done to evaluate whether Mavacamten is safe in obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients and helps to improve symptoms or ability to exercise. Mavacamten is an investigational drug. This means that it has…
The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine to prevent liver venoocclusive disease (VOD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who are at high risk or very high risk for liver VOD following HSCT. Liver VOD can be a complication of bone marrow and/or stem cell transplant,which may be life threatening. The condition is a…
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.
The purpose of this outpatient study is to examine if oral Spironolactone (100mg/day) in addition to loop diuretics (water pills) can improve signs and symptoms of fluid retention in patients with heart failure and prevent hospitalization.
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…
This research study will evaluate the effectiveness of CEP-417 (Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs)) when administered through an injection catheter to your heart muscle improving your symptoms, helping your heart function better, improving your quality of life, and in reducing the number of times you may need to be hospitalized due to your heart failure.…
The purpose of this study is to see which study drug is the better treatment for CMV infection. The study also wants to see how safe the study drugs are. The study drugs are Maribavir and Valganciclovir. Those who participate in the study will not know which drug they are taking. The study team will not know either.
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 trial is to determine if people with impaired heart function, that may have been induced with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or radiation, will have improved heart function with a cardiac device that can pace the heart more efficiently using cardiac resynchronization therapy.
In this trial, we will evaluate whether partially-HLA matched allogeneic multivirus-specific VSTs, will be safe and produce anti-viral effects in immunodeficient recipients infected with one of more of the targeted viruses that are persistent despite conventional anti-viral therapy. This will be in patients who have received a hematopoietic stem cell…
