This study is called a screening study and the purpose of this study to find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia that has come back after treatment or difficult to treat. Bone marrow, blood, and medical information about cancer and treatment will be collected. The results from this screening study may give other information about leukemia that is…
You may want to join this study because your heart condition may respond to a device-based therapy called cardiac modulation therapy called the OPTIMIZER System. The OPTIMIZER INTEGRA CCM-D System, also known as a Cardiac Contractility Modulation Defibrillator, is an investigational device system that combines CCM therapy and ICD therapy into one device.…
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of immunotherapy nivolumab and the targeted therapy cabozantinib prior to removal of the kidney will increase the number subjects who are without any visible kidney cancer in their body at some point during the course of treatment. The study will also evaluate the changes that nivolumab and cabozantinib…
The purpose of this study is to study two experimental drugs called canakinumab and spartalizumab produced by Novartis to see if: It is safe and feasible to give canakinumab and spartalizumab prior to radical nephrectomy; canakinumab and spartalizumab can kill cancer cells and bring immune cells into the kidney cancer when given to human subjects prior to…
This is a Phase 1 study of a drug called uproleselan. We are testing new experimental drugs such as uproleselan in the hopes of finding a treatment that may be effective against acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that has come back or that has not responded to standard therapy. This study looks at how well…
The ALLEVIATE-HF study is a prospective, randomized, multi-site, interventional, investigational device exemption (IDE) study. The purpose of the study is to gain experience with utilization of an integrated device diagnostic-based risk stratification algorithm to guide patient care in subjects with NYHA class II and III heart failure. The study will…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of Quizartinib that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which has come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Quizartinib will be given by mouth once a day from Day 6 through Day 28. It will be given in combination with…
We are doing this study to collect sensor and heart failure (HF) event data that will be used to develop and test new diagnostic (not providing therapy) features for the insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) systems. ICMs are small devices implanted under the skin and are now widely used for the long-term monitoring and detection of abnormal heart rhythms. ICMs…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the drugs called Nivolumab and 5-Azacytidine can be given safely in children and young adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has come back after treatment or has not responded to standard therapy. These drugs are thought to work by turning on genes that limit the growth of cancer cells. The study drugs…
Axitinib (AG-013736) is an investigational (experimental) drug that is being studied in patients with metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. The main goal of this study is to find out if axitinib is able to stop tumors from growing, or shrink tumors in patients with this type of cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to understand if aspirin is needed in patients heart failure implanted with the HeartMate 3. Patients with devices like the HeartMate 3 take two blood thinner medicines, specifically warfarin and aspirin. Patients implanted with devices like the HeartMate 3 experience both clotting and bleeding complications. Data…
We are seeking adults with cardiovascular disease who identify as Black/African American or LatinX, and/or their caregivers, as well as community health workers working in primarily Black/African American or LatinX neighborhoods of NYC, to participate in a brief (30-minute) interviews over the phone or Zoom to discuss attitudes and perceptions related to…
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and performance of an experimental system called the Aortix System. The system is being designed for use in patients hospitalized for a worsening of their heart failure symptoms and who also show signs of strain on their kidneys. The Aortix System includes a pump, which we hope may help the heart and…
This research study is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nivolumab as treatment for…
This study will test whether cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab is more effective (works better) than nivolumab plus ipilimumab alone in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer who have not received prior treatment for their cancer. This study will also examine how safe cabozantinib is in combination with nivolumab plus…
This study is for patients who have renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of kidney cancer) and are at a high risk of disease coming back (disease recurrence) following either nephrectomy (surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney) or metastasectomy (removal of cancerous growth that has spread away from your kidney). The purpose of this study is to…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the NuPulseCV intravascular ventricular assist system (iVAS), a device similar to an Intra-aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) that helps circulate blood from the heart throughout the rest of the body. This study aims to: (1) See if the iVAS improves your blood circulation (2) Better understand how the iVAS device could…
The purpose of the study is to characterize von Willebrand Factor (VWF) profiles in patients receiving HeartMate 3 (HM3) and compare them to HeartMate II (HMII) Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of pevonedistat that can be given safely with chemotherapy in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that has either come back or has not responded to the standard therapy. Pevonedistat works by blocking some of the enzymes that are needed for cell growth.
We are doing this study to test a drug called MGD009. MGD009 is like an antibody, which is a protein in your blood that helps get rid of germs in your body. MGD009 is made to attach to cancer cells and to T-cells, which are a part of your immune system. Certain T cells have the ability to kill other cells, including cancer cells. By attaching to cancer…
This is a Phase 1 multicenter study of Decitabine (DEC) and Vorinostat (VOR) followed by the standard chemotherapy drugs (Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG)). The study treatment is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)…
