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…
Early Age-Related Hearing Loss Investigation (EARHLI) is a study to obtain information on how a hearing aid-based intervention can prevent cognitive decline in those at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most common chronic condition in older adults. The…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the mechanisms of hearing loss, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with hearing loss. Individuals with hearing loss will be compared to individuals with normal hearing.
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 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…
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).
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medicine that is used to treat a variety of cancers. At high total (cumulative) doses it can be associated with progressive and irreversible hearing loss. The purpose of this study is see if injections of OTO-104 can protect against hearing loss associated with cisplatin therapy in the treatment of cancer. OTO-104 contains an…
Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, LLC., the Sponsor of this study, is developing a drug called DCC-2618 to treat Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) that are growing because of changes in specific genes. Genes are the instructions that tell a part of your body called a cell what to do. Cancer changes the genes so that the instructions are no longer correct. DCC…
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…
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…
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…
Acute inner ear hearing loss is the sudden onset of hearing loss, usually in one ear, without any known cause. Acute hearing loss can permanently destroy some of the hair cells (that govern the sense of hearing) and / or hearing nerve in the inner ear.The drug AM-111 has been developed to protect the hearing cells and nerve following sudden inner ear…
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to use a virus to deliver a new gene to the inner ear of people with hearing loss. This is a kind of gene therapy which involves gene transfer. Once the genetic material and vector are surgically administered to you, it is not possible to remove these agents. The study is designed to evaluate…
