The purpose of this study is to understand how liverdisease affects thinking and memory, both before and after transplant. Participants will take a cognitive test, which will be a series of tasks and questions similar to a video game, at home on their own computers, tablets, or phones. This will…
The main purpose of this study is to deeply characterize cognitive function in liver transplant recipients, differentiate among different causes of cognitive impairment, and identify contributors to cognitive impairment. Participants will receive a comprehensive neurological exam, cognitive assessment, neuropsychological…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of functional status (also known as "frailty") using a physical test in patients with liverdisease on their health outcomes. We are enrolling patients prior to liver transplantation, and will continue to…
The purpose of this observational research study is to identify things that contribute to outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated liverdisease who are being considered for liver transplant and who have less than 6 months of sobriety. We will look at many…
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…
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, controlled study for subjects with end stage liverdisease who require a liver transplant, comparing whole liver preservation via hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) using the LLT System…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of siplizumab when used as induction immunosuppression in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis or autoimmune hepatitis undergoing liver transplantation. Induction immunosuppression drugs are very potent anti-rejection drugs that are given immediately after…
This study is for patients who suffer from a condition where one of the blood vessels that deliver blood to your leg has a significant narrowing. This is called peripheral artery disease (PAD). The narrowing may be suitable for a treatment technique called balloon angioplasty. One of the…
This study is to test if a combination drug/device therapy using TEMSIROLIMUS (Temsirolimus Injection), with or without the generic steroid DEXAMETHASONE (Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection), can be delivered safely into the tissue around the blood vessel wall at the time of an angioplasty ( which is a a procedure to…
This study has been designed to treat patients with a pulmonary conduit or valve that has a large amount of regurgitation or is too narrow and needs to be replaced.
This prospective, multicenter trial is looking at the investigative device called the ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis. The ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR is designed for iliofemoral access and de…
Aortic stenosis (AS) or narrowing of the arteries remains one of the most common valvular diseases in the Western population requiring intervention. The deterioration of the aortic valve is more common in the older population and usually along with coronary artery disease (CAD) requires the need…
This is a prospective, single-arm, observational, multicenter registry. The intent is to gather information on the commercially approved device, device SAPIEN 3 Ultra transcatheter heart valve (THV). This valve consists of a short metal tube (stent) that holds the valve in its intended position and has valve leaflets made of biological material derived from…
This research trial is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of combining the study drug, Natalizumab (Tysabri) with the standard treatment, the use of steroids, as a new treatment for acute graft versus host disease (acute GVHD). GVHD is the most common serious complication, after bone marrow transplant. GVHD occurs…
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to collect human clinical data in order to demonstrate thatthe EDWARDS INTUITY Valve System, EDWARDS INTUITY Aortic Valve, Model 8300ACA/ACD issafe and works properly as an aortic valve replacement and that the EDWARDS INTUITY ValveSystem, EDWARDS INTUITY Delivery System, Model…
Are you scheduled for an interventional vascular procedure (e.g. BAV, TAVR/TAVI, EVAR or TEVAR) inorder to replace a damaged or failing valve? This research style studies the safety and efficacy of an Investigational Device (IDE) called the Cross-Seal Suture-Mediated Vascular Closure Device System. This device has not yet been approved by the FDA for use on…
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…
The ASD study has been designed to treat patients with an atrial septal defect with the use of the cardioform ASD occluder delivery system. The study will evaluate how safe the cardioform device is and how effective it is when treating patients with an atrial septal defect.
This study is for patients who suffer from a leakage of blood within on of the valves of the heart. The leakage of blood is also called regurgitation. The valve that is leaking is called the tricuspid valve and it is located within the right side of the heart. This condition is referred to as functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR). The treatment of FTR…
