The goal of this research is to combine non-invasive brain and sensory nerve stimulation to investigate their influence on hand function. Many adults with hemiplegic CP no longer actively receive therapies but have further hand goals they want to achieve. The information we learn from this study may help us learn how to design future interventions to help…
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system when treating patients with aortic regurgitation. Aortic Regurgitation is a condition that develops when the heart's aortic valve does close tightly, therefore the blood leaks back into the heart chamber. The JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system will…
We are doing this study to test the use of a drug called bromocriptine for women with a condition called Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). The study will look at how the heart muscle improves in women taking bromocriptine compared to a group of women given a placebo or inactive pill.
The high incidence and variety of conduction disturbances post-TAVR represents a major challenge in the periprocedural management of TAVR recipients. Despite the growing body of knowledge on this topic, the large variability in the management of these complications has translated into a high degree of uncertainty regarding the most appropriate treatment of…
This prospective, multicenter trial is looking at the investigative device called the ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis. The ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR is designed for iliofemoral access and delivery of a self-…
Aortic stenosis (AS) or narrowing of the arteries remains one of the most common valvular diseases in the Western population requiring intervention. The deterioration of the aortic valve is more common in the older population and usually along with coronary artery disease (CAD) requires the need for treatment. This is a study that is collecting safety and…
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label clinical study, sponsored by Pi-Cardia. Fifteen (15) patients with symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) who are considered operable but are not recommended by the heart team for immediate treatment with surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have moderate-severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms. Subjects will be randomly assigned, l to one of two groups: (1) Treatment…
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and long-term effects of CK-3773274 and to learn how well it is tolerated at different, increasing dose levels in participants with HCM.
The purpose of this study is to: 1. Determine if a tele-rehabilitation home exercise program is helpful in promoting adherence to an exercise program in adults with CP and 2. to determine if a tele-health exercise program improves fitness and functional mobility in adults with CP. This study involves participation in a 10-week remote (Zoom) program to…
Ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 8-16 years old are invited to participate in a virtual reality (VR) game play session to learn about youth motivation and satisfaction with VR to promote fitness and mobility. The session will be approximately 2 hours and will be conducted in the Programs in Physical Therapy (PT) PACE Lab @ 617 W. 168th St.,…
We are looking for adults with cerebral palsy who are 18 and over for ultrasound study of nerves at the wrist. We are assessing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in adults with cerebral palsy. The study will involve a survey to describe their medical history, procedures (especially of the arms), use of adaptive equipment (such as walkers, wheelchairs…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms.
The objective of this study is to collect outcome data on valve performance and a pre-specified TAVR care pathway. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at extreme, high, or intermediate surgical risk. Since CoreValveTM became commercially approved…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the investigational drug, Mavacamten, to a placebo (an inactive drug). This is being done to evaluate whether Mavacamten is safe in obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients and helps to improve symptoms or ability to exercise. Mavacamten is an investigational drug. This means that it has…
The purpose of this outpatient study is to examine if oral Spironolactone (100mg/day) in addition to loop diuretics (water pills) can improve signs and symptoms of fluid retention in patients with heart failure and prevent hospitalization.
Abnormal muscle tightness -known as spasticity- in the leg can happen when a child has cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity, they may find it difficult to straighten their leg and experience stiffness. The goal of this study is to collect information from participants about the safety and effectiveness of using BOTOX to treat arm and hand spasticity…
This research study will evaluate the effectiveness of CEP-417 (Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs)) when administered through an injection catheter to your heart muscle improving your symptoms, helping your heart function better, improving your quality of life, and in reducing the number of times you may need to be hospitalized due to your heart failure.…
Abnormal muscle tightness -known as spasticity- in the arm and hand can happen when a child has cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity, they may find it difficult to straighten their hand and/or arm and experience stiffness. The goal of this study is to collect information from participants about the safety and effectiveness of using BOTOX to treat…
The purpose of this trial is to determine if people with impaired heart function, that may have been induced with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or radiation, will have improved heart function with a cardiac device that can pace the heart more efficiently using cardiac resynchronization therapy.
