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…
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.
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.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (how well the study drug works) of NBTRX3 administered via intratumoral injections (injected directly into tumor) and used together with radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab, and how it compares with radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy combined with cetuximab.…
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…
The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of the combined treatment, using the drugs cetuximab and avelumab as well as avelumab by itself. Avelumab is a drug that works by triggering the immune system so it can try to attack the cancer again. Avelumab works in a similar way to cemiplimab, which is the usual drug for treatment of your…
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.
This study is for patients with recurrent or metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN). This study will test the safety of an experimental anti-cancer drug (MEDI4736). MEDI4736 is an antibody (a protein produced by the defense system of the body immune system) that has been made in the laboratory. MEDI4736 boosts the ability of your…
The study involves research about MGA271 in combination with Keytruda. MGA271 targets cancer cells that make a lot of a protein called B7-H3. Another way to say it is that the cells "overexpress" the protein. Very few normal cells express B7-H3. MGA271 is though to work by recognizing cancer cells that overexpress B7-H3 and directing the body…
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of study drug MEDI4736 monotherapy, tremelimumab monotherapy, and MEDI4736 and tremelimumab combination therapy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have progressed during or after treatment with…
The purpose of this study is to study ADU-S100 and pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). This study aims to evaluate how safe and effective this drug combination is at treating your cancer. These drugs are thought to work by interacting with your immune system to in order to more effectively…
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,…
There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial based on a blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed…
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 study is for adult subjects with head and neck cancer (oral cavity, oropharynx middle part of the throat, hypopharynx bottom part of the throat, or larynx part of throat between the base of the tongue and the windpipe) that has either returned after treatment (recurrent) or is newly diagnosed. If newly diagnosed, the cancer must be metastatic,…
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…
This study is for patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN) that has a protein called B7-H3 on the tumor cells or blood vessels in thetumor. The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and most effective dose ofMGA271 in combination with ipilimumab (also called Yervoy…
