The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system when treating patients with aortic regurgitation. Aortic Regurgitation is a condition that develops when the heart's aortic valve does close tightly, therefore the blood leaks back into the heart chamber. The JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system will…
The high incidence and variety of conduction disturbances post-TAVR represents a major challenge in the periprocedural management of TAVR recipients. Despite the growing body of knowledge on this topic, the large variability in the management of these complications has translated into a high degree of uncertainty regarding the most appropriate treatment of…
This prospective, multicenter trial is looking at the investigative device called the ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis. The ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR is designed for iliofemoral access and delivery of a self-…
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…
Aortic stenosis (AS) or narrowing of the arteries remains one of the most common valvular diseases in the Western population requiring intervention. The deterioration of the aortic valve is more common in the older population and usually along with coronary artery disease (CAD) requires the need for treatment. This is a study that is collecting safety and…
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label clinical study, sponsored by Pi-Cardia. Fifteen (15) patients with symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) who are considered operable but are not recommended by the heart team for immediate treatment with surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have moderate-severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms. Subjects will be randomly assigned, l to one of two groups: (1) Treatment…
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.
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 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…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms.
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.
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…
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…
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…
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 objective of this study is to collect outcome data on valve performance and a pre-specified TAVR care pathway. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at extreme, high, or intermediate surgical risk. Since CoreValveTM became commercially approved…
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…
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 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 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.
