To be in this study you must have DPN and be 18 through 80 years of age, inclusive, with presence of bilateral pain in lower extremities due to DPN for at least 1 year.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double blind, study evaluating efficacy and safety of riliprubart versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in participants with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Overall the study will last about 109 weeks (2 years). Participants must be 18 years old at the time of signing the informed consent form.
This program provides family members of individuals with familial ALS the opportunity to contribute to research focused on learning more about why motor neuron degeneration begins and how or why it progresses. This study provides genetic counseling and testing to help participants understand and manage their risk and determine if they want to learn their…
The purpose of this research is to study whether Discogen's non-invasive, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound treatment can help reduce pain for people with leg pain and low back pain. Eligible participants will be randomized into either a Discogen treatment group or a sham control group. All participants will be asked to come to the Columbia University…
Columbia University is currently enrolling in an Ataluren Study from PTC Therapeutics, called PTC-041. We are looking for 5 year old boys, ambulating, confirmed nonsense mutation DMD and on steroids for at least 12 months. If you would like more information about this please reach out to Ameneh Onativia, Columbia Sr. Clinical Research Coordinator II at 212…
This research study will look at a newer treatment option for Barrett's Esophagus (BE) which uses nitrous oxide to freeze unwanted tissue. The most commonly used treatment method is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) which uses heat to destroy the pre-cancerous tissue. Nitrous Oxide ablation using the C2 CryoBalloon Focal Ablation System, an FDA-cleared…
The purpose of this study is to Assess Treatments for Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (PDPN). To be in this study you must have type II Diabetes Mellitus, PDPN, must be 18 years of age or older, and be able to stop taking some of your current pain medications including pills, creams, patches, marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD) oil, etc. Acetaminophen (…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new technique called Wide Area Transepithelial Sample 3-Dimensional Esophageal Biopsy (WATS) with computer assisted method of analysis of brush biopsy. This study will assess whether performing standard biopsies in addition to the WATS brush biopsies identifies more patients with dysplasia than does performing…
Small fiber neuropathy is a painful condition caused by damage to the small nerves in your arms andlegs. This damage causes burning, sharp-stabbing and aching pain, amongst other types of pain. It can be sometimes difficult to know the cause of the damage to the small nerves in your arms and legs. In most cases, treatment for small fiber neuropathy is…
The purpose of the study is to compare two types of endoscopic treatments in patients with Barretts esophagus (BE) with abnormal cells (dysplasia); radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and hybrid argon plasma coagulation (H-APC). H-APC is a newer technique in the treatment of BE and has not been adequately studied and is not approved by the FDA for routine use.…
The purpose of this research study is to test an investigational drug called NP001. The study will evaluate if NP001 has an effect on slowing the signs and symptoms of your ALS, if there are any side effects, and if there are any medical problems with giving the drug as a solution into your vein (intravenous IV administration). An investigational drug is…
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.
This study is designed to test how well an intravenous human immunoglobulin concentrate, IGIV-C (compared with placebo) improves your muscle weakness associated with MG symptoms. A placebo is a medication that looks like the study medication but has no active ingredient. Immunoglobulin is an antibody produced by white blood cells that is used by the immune…
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…
This study is designed to test how well an intravenous human immunoglobulin concentrate, IGIV-C (compared with placebo) improves the ability to taper participant's dose of corticosteroids without causing significant increase in your muscle weakness and worsening MG symptoms. A placebo is a medication that looks like the study medication but has no…
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 purpose of this study is to look for abnormal genes and gene expression profiles that help determine why a person develops amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron diseases (MND) and why their symptoms present and progress with a particular pattern. For up to three years, subjects will be followed every 3 months at the Columbia ALS…
C2 Therapeutics is currently enrolling patients to participate in the Coldplay 3 clinical trial. Coldplay 3 is evaluating the effectiveness of the Coldplay CryoBalloon Focal Ablation System in patients with Barrett's esophagus who have not yet received treatment. Participants will undergo treatment with the Coldplay CryoBalloon Focal Ablation System…
