This is a prospective multicenter study whose purpose is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves with Commander delivery system in patients with severe symptomatic calcific mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification (which is a progressive loss of function of the mitral valve due 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…
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team. In this trial,…
The study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System to the MitraClip System for reduction of degenerative mitral regurgitation.
This study will develop a data registry of patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma (UM). This registry will provide data that will be used to support the development of novel therapies for this disease. In this study, we are focused on trying to better understand how uveal melanoma behaves and how it is treated at different medical centers around the country.
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…
This is a four-session study in which we will be recruiting existing cigarette smokers to explore the competitive dynamics between memory encoding and memory retrieval. To participate, you will first go through a phone screening to determine eligibility and learn about the study. Then you will be asked to visit our facility at the Morningside Campus of…
This study is designed to look at the safety and performance of The Intrepid TMVR System using transfemoral transseptal access (TF). TF is a procedure that requires access to the femoral vein by an incision in the lower limb between the knee and the hip. The study population is for patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), a condition…
The Millipede Feasibility Study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study to assess the safety and feasibility of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation. The Millipede Annuloplasty Ring System is a novel transcatheter, fully adjustable, complete annuloplasty repair device for the treatment…
This research study is being done to see if the study drug, IMCgp100, works and is safe as treatment for subjects with uveal melanoma who also test positive for HLA-A*0201. In this study IMCgp100 will be compared to three standard treatments: dacarbazine (a chemotherapy drug), ipilimumab (an immunotherapy drug), or pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug).…
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, intermittent dosing of the medication Selumetinib will have on you and your uveal melanoma. Selumetinib is a medication that blocks (or turns off) MEK, a protein activated in some uveal melanoma cells. Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor. Blocking MEK may stop your cancer from growing.
This is a Phase I study of a weekly intra-patient escalation dose regimen with IMCgp100 in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). To help decide whether or not patients can take part in a research study looking at a new form of treatment for advanced uveal melanoma, their blood need to first be tested to determine their Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA…
This trial is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the AccuCinch system in patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction HFrEF
The purpose of the treatment part of the study is to find out what effects drug crizotinib has, good and/or bad on people with "high risk" uveal melanoma after surgery or radiation for the eye. It is thought that giving crizotinib to patients with "high risk" uveal melanoma can lower the chance the cancer will come back. Uveal melanoma…
The purpose of this study is evaluate the benefits and safety of using the combination of drugs, AEB071 and BYL719 to treat patients with an advanced form of uveal melanoma. The study will have two parts. The first part twill test different dose levels of each drug.Once the highest safe dose level is found, another group of patients will be treated at that…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new device to treat patients who may benefit from the repair of their mitral heart valve due to mitral regurgitation. The device is called the Edwards Cardioband System (Edwards Cardioband System or the device). The device is investigational in the United States but has been approved in Europe. This clinical study…
You are invited to join voluntarily in a clinical research study to find out if the drug LXS196 alone or in combination with HDM201 is safe and has beneficial effects in people who have metastatic uveal melanoma. The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of LXS196 that can be given safely without unacceptable side effects as a single drug…
