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…
Our lab is conducting brain imaging research studies investigating people's behavior. We are looking for people between the ages of 18 and 65 to be study participants. As a schizophrenia study participant, you will be asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires probing personality traits. You will also complete a number of computer-based…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of psychosis, specifically to learn how alterations in the brain may produce certain experiences (including voice hearing or auditory hallucinations) that are common in people with psychosis or schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (…
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.…
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…
Our lab is conducting a series of research studies that investigate how specific brain regions are related to functioning in work, school, and in other social situations. As a study participant, you will be asked to complete clinical and neuropsychological assessments, an eye-tracking task, and a non-invasive MRI scan. Study participants earn between $15-50…
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…
This study plans to learn more about an investigational new drug called lumateperone tosylate (ITI-007) and may help us find new types of treatment for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
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 study is to determine whether the brain wave patterns are improved after administration of CVN058 compared to placebo in subjects with schizophrenia. The study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure naturally occurring brain waves as you listen to recorded sounds.
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…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different doses and durations of TV-46000 given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection as compared to placebo for use as a potential maintenance in adults with schizophrenia.
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…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of schizophrenia, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, clinical chart review, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
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…
