Are you undergoing a stem cell transplant? You may be at high risk for infections after the transplant. This study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for those who have undergone a stem cell transplant. Recovery after a stem cell transplant can already be challenging without the added worry of life-threatening viral…
This is a research study for patients who have Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), a condition that occurs when the three leaflets of the hearts tricuspid valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart has to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward.…
This study is testing a drug called GDC-8264, which is being developed to treat acute graft-versus-host-disease (acute GVHD). GDC-8264 is an experimental drug, which means health authorities have not approved GDC-8264 in combination with standard medications for the treatment of acute GVHD. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good or bad,…

This research study uses MRI scans to compare the effect of two medications on suicidal thoughts and brain activity in people who have opioid use disorder. We hope to develop a better understanding of how well these two medications help depression and suicidal thoughts. You may qualify if you have opioid use disorder and suicidal thoughts. Participation…
The purpose of this study is to see which study drug is the better treatment for CMV infection. The study also wants to see how safe the study drugs are. The study drugs are Maribavir and Valganciclovir. Those who participate in the study will not know which drug they are taking. The study team will not know either.
In this trial, we will evaluate whether partially-HLA matched allogeneic multivirus-specific VSTs, will be safe and produce anti-viral effects in immunodeficient recipients infected with one of more of the targeted viruses that are persistent despite conventional anti-viral therapy. This will be in patients who have received a hematopoietic stem cell…
Healthy heroin users (men and women, ages 21-59) are needed for an eight-week inpatient study investigating medication effects at the NY State Psychiatric Institute. Earn approximately $6,550 - $7,350.
The primary objectives of this study are to measure the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow transplant (BMT) using specific chemotherapy in children with less severe SCD and to understand the long term effects of bone marrow transplant in children with SCD, by evaluating ovarian reserve, sickle cell related brain problems, sickle cell related kidney…
The purpose of this study is to see whether or not the medicine, Abatacept, when given after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is effective in treating GVHD in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). We are also planning to gather additional information about the safety of treating sickle cell disease with a hematopoietic stem…
This study proposes to recruit patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) seeking treatment into our program of a 5 day outpatient detoxification and naltrexone induction followed by a relapse-prevention treatment with Extended release-naltrexone (XR-NTX) for 8 weeks.
This is a research study of a new drug for the treatment of new onset chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). Chronic GVHD is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient's body. The current way to treat cGVHD is to use prednisone (a type of…
The main purpose of the study is to find out about whether the study drug is safe in humans and aneffective treatment in pediatric patients with acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD mayoccur after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in which someone receives bone marrow tissue orcells from a donor (called an allogeneic transplant). The new,…
The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine to prevent liver venoocclusive disease (VOD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who are at high risk or very high risk for liver VOD following HSCT. Liver VOD can be a complication of bone marrow and/or stem cell transplant,which may be life threatening. The condition is a…
