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…
We are interested in learning more about these diseases and how to treat them.

The goal of this study is to determine if treating acute wheezing episodes with a 5-day course of an antibiotic called, Azithromycin is effective in shortening the duration and preventing future wheezing episodes. Azithromycin is an antibiotic taken by mouth.
Precision medicine is an individual-based care, a new approach to care based on someone's medical history, where they live, and profile (age, gender, and so on). We will use precision medicine to understand treatments for severe asthma. These treatments are not yet used for asthma today. We have two goals for the PrecISE study: 1. Make it easier to…

We are doing this research to find out the safety, toxicity, and efficacy of intravesical Cabazitaxel, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin (CGC) in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder that has recurred despite BCG use. The purpose of finding the maximum tolerable dose is important for future use of the drug, so as to provide the…
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…
This is a Phase 1 study (the first time this treatment is being tested in humans) of an anti-cancer study drug called as PF-07225570. This study drug works on stimulating certain cells in the immune system. The study will test different doses that increase (dose escalation) and at the appropriate time, additional patients will be enrolled to evaluate this…
We are doing this research study to find out how to make it easier for people with asthma to understand and use information about their asthma through images, graphs, or diagrams. We are looking for teen-parent/guardian pairs. To be eligible, you must be a parent/guardian (18 or older) of a teen (age 12-17) who takes certain inhaled controller medication(s…
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 research study will investigate an experimental, unapproved drug that will be given two different ways; as an injection in the bladder wall after bladder tumor resection surgery (or TURBT) and then as an intravesical instillation (fluid inserted in the bladder by catheter) right after the injection. The purpose of this study is to find the dose which…
The purpose of this study is to look at a new treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This new form of paclitaxel, a drug currently used by injection into a vein to treat various types of cancer, is designed to be instilled (injected) into the urinary bladder with a catheter (tube) placed into your bladder through your urethra (the opening where…
The purpose of this global study is to provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of 210 mg dose of tezepelumab administered every 4 weeks subcutaneously in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older) with a history of asthma exacerbations and severe uncontrolled asthma receiving medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one…
This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the AssureMDx test for the detection of bladder cancer in patients presenting with hematuria.
This study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety profile of dupilumab over one year in a population of asthmatic children in need for an additional treatment to their current maintenance management. Patients are randomized to either dupilumab or matching placebo administered standard care for a maximum treatment duration of 52 weeks. The…
The purposes of this clinical study are: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of up to 2 drug release periods of GemRIS for up to 7 days per drug release period To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (the study of the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug) of gemcitabine and a gemcitabine-related metabolite (product after…
Asthma registry to maintain and expand a database of participants with asthma who may be able to participate in future Inner City Asthma Consortium studies.
The study is part of a research program to assess the efficacy of the drug nab-rapamycin, a biologic mTOR inhibitor. The purpose of the study is to assess the response rate, as well as, the safety of administering nab-rapamycin in combination with gemcitabine directly into the bladder in an effort to treat bladder cancer.
