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…
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can we increase the clinical complete response rate (tumor disappears by exam, endoscopy, and imaging) by adding a 3rd drug (irinotecan) to the standard chemotherapy regimens known as FOLFOX or CAPOX, given following long-course chemoradiation for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer? We are…
The purpose of this study is safety, tolerability and efficacy of a combined treatment of LBL-007 and tislelizumab in combination with bevacizumab and capecitabine. LBL-007 and tislelizumab has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Bevacizumab and capecitabine are approved for use in colorectal cancer, but their use in combination…
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational device called the Echopulse for treatment of breast fibroadenomas in women. Fibroadenomas are benign (noncancerous) breast tumors. These lumps can occur alone, in groups, or as a complex of lumps together. Sometimes women feel these in the breast when doing regular self-breast exams, or they may be…
The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drugs, encorafenib, and cetuximab, taken in combination with pembrolizumab would improve compared to the outcome of pembrolizumab alone in study patients. Encorafenib and cetuximab target cancerous BRAF proteins and potentially slow down the growth of cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may help your immune…
The BNT122-01 research study is testing an investigational medication (RO7198457) for patients who have had surgery for Stage II and Stage III colorectal cancer. The study will look at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for patients who have had surgery for Stage II (high risk) and Stage III colorectal cancer. It will study…
This research study is sponsored by ImmunogenX and The National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD). The objective of this study is to determine if the investigational product (latiglutenase) will help decrease symptoms in subjects with celiac disease while maintaining a gluten-free diet while undergoing periodic gluten exposure. In addition, this…
We are asking you to participate in a research study to learn if different ways of doing routine anesthesia and patient care before, during and after abdominal surgery can reduce breathing problems. The total time of the study is 3 months with daily visits by a member of our study team while you are in the hospital and 3 short follow-up calls after you…
This study evaluates whether the addition of immune therapy to usual FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair stage III colon cancer can improve your outcome compared to FOLFOX alone. The immune therapy drug, atezolizumab, may allow your body's immune system to more effectively kill cancer cells in your body. One of the…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of the cancer immunotherapy combination treatments (CIT) combinations versus standard treatment on you and your colorectal cancer to find out which is better.
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…
This study is being done to answer the following question: Does duloxetine (either 30 mg or 60 mg) prevent numbness, tingling, and/or pain caused by your colorectal cancer treatment with oxaliplatin? We are doing this study because we want to find out if duloxetine can prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (OIPN).
Studies have shown that cancer patients may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of treatment. These financial problems can be stressful and sometimes might cause patients to avoid or refuse treatment. This study will measure how often financial problems happen in patients with colorectal cancer, using questionnaires that collect…
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace device as a primary surgical treatment for a full thickness Massive Rotator Cuff Tears (MRCT) in comparison to Partial Repair of a full thickness MRCT performed during an arthroscopic procedure.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two drug-eluting stents that are used to open the blocked or narrowed blood vessel of the leg in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): the ELUVIA Stent and the Zilver PTX Stent.
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…
Thepurposeof the study is to test whether or not QPI-1002 could be used to lessen or prevent acute kidney injury after heart surgery. Another purpose is to better understand the safety of QPI-1002.
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.
