The purpose of this research is to learn about types of practice that may benefit stroke survivors when learning to use their weaker arm to perform a task. Potential participants will be asked to come to Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) for a screening session. Eligible participants will be randomized into two groups with different practice…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the drugs called Nivolumab and 5-Azacytidine can be given safely in children and young adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has come back after treatment or has not responded to standard therapy. These drugs are thought to work by turning on genes that limit the growth of cancer cells. The study drugs…
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational, post-market study that will evaluate the safety and procedural success of performing trans-radial access for treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the lower extremities. This research study will collect outcome data of patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (…
This study is to collect information about the symptoms and treatments of patient who have severely clogged arteries and to learn about their outcomes at one year. If you choose to be part of this research, we will ask you to be involved in five interviews with study staff. Each interview will take about 30 minutes of your time and we will contact you…
This study is to test if a combination drug/device therapy using TEMSIROLIMUS (Temsirolimus Injection), with or without the generic steroid DEXAMETHASONE (Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection), can be delivered safely into the tissue around the blood vessel wall at the time of an angioplasty ( which is a a procedure to open blocked arteries and restore…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of pevonedistat that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that has either come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Pevonedistat works by blocking some of the enzymes that are needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to deterimine if the Drug-Coated Chocolate Touch Balloon Catheters is safe and effective compared to a drug-coated balloon that is already approved in patients with a blockage in the blood vessels of their leg.
This is a Phase 1 multicenter study of Decitabine (DEC) and Vorinostat (VOR) followed by the standard chemotherapy drugs (Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG)). The study treatment is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)…
The Amulet IDE trial is a prospective, randomized, multi-center active control worldwide trial, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AMPLATZER Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device (treatment) or a Boston Scientific WATCHMAN LAA closure device (Control).…
This study is for patients who suffer from a condition where one of the blood vessels that deliver blood to your leg has a significant narrowing. This is called peripheral artery disease (PAD). The narrowing may be suitable for a treatment technique called balloon angioplasty. One of the therapies that has been used to treat PAD is balloon angioplasty. It…
We are looking for adults who have had a stroke to participate in testing of a new robotic device for the hand. If you had a stroke over six months ago and now have difficulty using your hand, you may qualify to participate in this study. Time commitment: ~4 weeks, 3x/week, Compensation: $50 per testing visit, $25 per training session.
Stroke often results in limitation of arm movements, from which many people do not fully recover. We believe that early and intensive therapy is important to enhance recovery of arm movements after stroke. We are doing this research study to see how much arm movements improve with intensive therapy in patients have had a stroke in the past 5 weeks. We will…
