The purpose of this study is to find out if performing Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans of your brain with adaptive planning during your radiation treatment of your high-grade glioma will help determine how sensitive the images collected of the brain are at detecting the response of the tumor to the cancer treatment. In this study, four or seven MRI…
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of Lutathera alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and the combination of Lutathera with radiotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GB) and to establish the appropriate dose of this combination. Lutathera is a radioligand therapy, which is a targeted…
Children and young adults with diffuse midline glioma will be treated with Focused Ultrasound (FUS) with DEFINITY microbubbles and neuro-navigator-controlled sonication. The overall goal of this study is to see if the study treatment plan will improve the outcome of participants with diffuse midline glioma, for which no known cure exists, and determine…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of a drug called MTX110 and a contrast agent called gadolinium that can be given safely in children with newly diagnosed diffuse midline gliomas, which is a kind of brain tumor. All patients enrolled in the study will receive infusion of MTX110 and Gadolinium delivered with a pump directly into the tumor…
Capnography-Assisted, Learned, Monitored (CALM) Breathing is a mind-body intervention for COPD that uses breathing exercises and biofeedback with the goal of reducing shortness of breath, anxiety symptoms and improving overall quality of life. The intervention is a 4-week (1 hour, twice weekly) program taking place in-person at New York Presbyterian…
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.
The purpose of this research study is to test whether the advanced perfusion MRI done prior to starting Bevacizumab and a few weeks after starting Bevacizumab can determine your response to the treatment better than the standard MRI performed at typical time points. The researchers want to see if this type of advanced MRI is better or the same as what is…
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…
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…
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.
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…
