Today, therapy for meningioma is the same for all patients and is not based on tumor genetic testing. This trial is trying to see if tumor genetic testing would be helpful at guiding treatment in patients with meningioma.…
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 ALLEVIATE-HF study is a prospective, randomized, multi-site, interventional, investigational device exemption (IDE) study. The purpose of the study is to gain experience with utilization of an integrated device diagnostic-based risk stratification algorithm to guide patient care in subjects with NYHA class II and III heart failure. The study will…
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new vaccine, VBI-1901, and to know more about its ability to boost the response of the immune system against Cytomegalovirus. The reason for testing this vaccine in people with a brain tumor is that it might one day be used to boost the ability of the immune system to fight a certain type of brain tumor.…
We are doing this study to collect sensor and heart failure (HF) event data that will be used to develop and test new diagnostic (not providing therapy) features for the insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) systems. ICMs are small devices implanted under the skin and are now widely used for the long-term monitoring and detection of abnormal heart rhythms. ICMs…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe the investigational drug, DSP-0390, is at different doses and to identify a recommended dose that is safe for further study. Investigational means that the study drug is currently being tested and has not been approved for use alone or in combination with any drug by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (…
The purpose of this research study is to understand if aspirin is needed in patients heart failure implanted with the HeartMate 3. Patients with devices like the HeartMate 3 take two blood thinner medicines, specifically warfarin and aspirin. Patients implanted with devices like the HeartMate 3 experience both clotting and bleeding complications. Data…
We are seeking adults with cardiovascular disease who identify as Black/African American or LatinX, and/or their caregivers, as well as community health workers working in primarily Black/African American or LatinX neighborhoods of NYC, to participate in a brief (30-minute) interviews over the phone or Zoom to discuss attitudes and perceptions related to…
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…
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and performance of an experimental system called the Aortix System. The system is being designed for use in patients hospitalized for a worsening of their heart failure symptoms and who also show signs of strain on their kidneys. The Aortix System includes a pump, which we hope may help the heart and…
The purpose of this research study is to see if the combination of medications approved for the treatment of glioblastoma, together with the study drug, selinexor (also known as XPOVIO), has any effects on your cancer. Selinexor works by trapping tumor suppressor proteins within the cell nucleus. This is expected to cause the cancer cells to die or stop…
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and usefulness of the study drug, AG-881, as compared to placebo (a medically inactive substance) in residual or recurrent non-enhancing Grade 2 glioma (a type of brain cancer) that has a mutation in the IDH1 or IDH2 metabolic enzyme (a substance produced by the body to assist in breaking down chemicals).…
