Have you been treated for Lyme Disease but continue to have brain fog or other cognitive problems? This research study will assess a non-medication non-invasive intervention to improve cognitive functioning in people with persistent cognitive problems despite prior antibiotic treatment for Lyme Disease. Participants will complete this 4 week intervention at…
This patient case registry for Lyme and other Tick-borne Diseases is a component of the Clinical Trials Network that was launched in 2021 by a grant from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation. The registry will gather general information such as demographics, medical history, and current functional status. This information will help researchers to…
The Columbia Otolaryngology Department is interested in understanding the intersection of vaping, smell, and taste and their impact on individuals' preferences for certain flavors. Participation will involve answering a series of questionnaires in addition to completing a formal evaluation of your smell and taste with standardized measurements. You can…
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 use of electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigs or vaping, has increased among former smokers and young adults who have never smoked. Relatively little is known, however, about their health effects (whether they are adverse, have no effect, or are beneficial). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate (1) the association of e-cig use with…

Are you suffering from chronic fatigue that began after you were diagnosed and treated with antibiotics for Lyme Disease? This new treatment research study investigates whether disulfiram, commonly known as "Antabuse", has the potential to be used as a treatment option for patients experiencing chronic post-treatment Lyme symptoms. This well-known…
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…
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…
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 CDC estimates that 10-20% of patients with Lyme disease will go on to have chronic symptoms despite having had appropriate treatment, a condition known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). While there is currently no known cure, various therapies are being investigated. One promising approach is the practice of meditation and yoga which have…
