The main goal of this clinical trial is to determine if an investigational medication called VEL101 is safe, well tolerated, and effective in people receiving a new kidney transplant. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 different doses of VEL-101 or to tacrolimus, which is standardly used post-transplant to prevent rejection. Participants will be…
We are interested in learning more about these diseases and how to treat them. Our research program is conducting several studies including: a study to learn if treatment with a drug named dupilumab can help reduce asthma attacks in children, a study to observe a specific type of irritation in the lungs and how it relates to asthma symptoms, and more! If…
This is a prospective multicenter study whose purpose is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves with Commander delivery system in patients with severe symptomatic calcific mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification (which is a progressive loss of function of the mitral valve due to…
This purpose of this study is to understand the interaction between two different medications, tacrolimus and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), in patients who have had a kidney transplant and are being treated by their doctor for COVID-19 infection. Tacrolimus is an oral medication that is used standardly in kidney transplant recipients to prevent…
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team. In this trial,…
The study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System to the MitraClip System for reduction of degenerative mitral regurgitation.
This is a 60-month adaptive to evaluate three siplizumab-based treatment regimens in kidney transplant recipients. The purpose of this research study is to see if the anti-rejection medications that patients normally take after transplant can be reduced or stopped completely by using several medications including the investigational drug siplizumab in the…
Columbia University Medical Center along with other large medical centers across the country is participating in a research study of 6 to 17 year olds with and without asthma.
Kidney transplant extends life, improves quality of life, and reduces healthcare costs. Unfortunately, there are not enough donated kidneys, so many people who need a transplant spend years on the waiting list. Kidneys from organ donors who have hepatitis C virus (HCV) are often thrown away, but these kidneys work well, and hepatitis C can be cured. The…
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug called tegoprubart (also known as AT1501) is safe and effective in preventing rejection in patients who are undergoing a kidney transplant for the first time. Participants will be randomly assigned to tegoprubart or standard treatment with tacrolimusat the time of transplant. If you have…
The goal of this study is to determine if treating acute wheezing episodes with a 5-day course of an antibiotic called, Azithromycin is effective in shortening the duration and preventing future wheezing episodes. Azithromycin is an antibiotic taken by mouth.
Precision medicine is an individual-based care, a new approach to care based on someone's medical history, where they live, and profile (age, gender, and so on). We will use precision medicine to understand treatments for severe asthma. These treatments are not yet used for asthma today. We have two goals for the PrecISE study: 1. Make it easier to…
We are doing this research study to find out how to make it easier for people with asthma to understand and use information about their asthma through images, graphs, or diagrams. We are looking for teen-parent/guardian pairs. To be eligible, you must be a parent/guardian (18 or older) of a teen (age 12-17) who takes certain inhaled controller medication(s…
This study is designed to look at the safety and performance of The Intrepid TMVR System using transfemoral transseptal access (TF). TF is a procedure that requires access to the femoral vein by an incision in the lower limb between the knee and the hip. The study population is for patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), a condition…
Kidney transplant patients are at a higher risk for bone fractures compared to the general population. We are doing a clinical trial to examine the effects of 12-months of treatment with denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against RANKL, on bone density and strength as determined by bone imaging and by non-invasive measures of bone activity from blood and…
The Millipede Feasibility Study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study to assess the safety and feasibility of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation. The Millipede Annuloplasty Ring System is a novel transcatheter, fully adjustable, complete annuloplasty repair device for the treatment…
The purpose of this global study is to provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of 210 mg dose of tezepelumab administered every 4 weeks subcutaneously in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older) with a history of asthma exacerbations and severe uncontrolled asthma receiving medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one…
This trial is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the AccuCinch system in patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction HFrEF
This study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety profile of dupilumab over one year in a population of asthmatic children in need for an additional treatment to their current maintenance management. Patients are randomized to either dupilumab or matching placebo administered standard care for a maximum treatment duration of 52 weeks. The…
Asthma registry to maintain and expand a database of participants with asthma who may be able to participate in future Inner City Asthma Consortium studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new device to treat patients who may benefit from the repair of their mitral heart valve due to mitral regurgitation. The device is called the Edwards Cardioband System (Edwards Cardioband System or the device). The device is investigational in the United States but has been approved in Europe. This clinical study…
Subjects who undergo a kidney transplant require long term use of anti-rejection (immunosuppressive)drugs to prevent their body's immune system from attacking and damaging the newly transplanted kidney (rejection).The purpose of this study is to evaluate benefits and risks of two combinations(regimens) of immunosuppressive therapies: Thymoglobulin…
The reason for this nationwide study is to help us learn if treatment with German cockroach extract, given as allergy shots, given along with standard asthma care makes children less likely to have asthma symptoms. The study will take up to 36 months. Study visits will include questionnaires, a physical examination, an allergy skin test, breathing tests,…
The purpose of this research study is to see if an investigational drug, BB3, is safe and effective forincreasing the amount of urine that a transplanted kidney will produce. An investigational drugis one that is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). BB3 is agrowth factor-like drug, which means that it can affect cell…
