RADIANCE II is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, single cohort study designed todemonstrate the effectiveness (how well it works) and safety of the Paradise Renal Denervation System in hypertensive subjects (subjects with highblood pressure).
We are currently looking for men and non-pregnant women aged 40 years and above to participate in an at-home study on sleep and activity patterns in relation to blood pressure and blood glucose. Participants should not have critical/severe illness and should not be on dialysis or have a pacemaker…
The study has been designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the Paradise Renal Denervation System when treating patients with highblood pressure known as hypertension. When blood pressure is persistently elevated and pushes against the walls of the artery…
We are conducting a research study in adults to test whether blood pressure (BP) measured in a clinic setting without a technician present is comparable to blood pressure levels while awake outside of the clinic on an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)…
We are working with researchers at Columbia University to test whether text messaging can be used effectively to help people with hypertension to control their blood pressure. If you are between the ages of 18 and 85 years and have a cell phone, you may be eligible to participate in this study. The study would involve a…
The purpose of this project is to collect more data about the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation (disabling of kidney nerves) for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension. For therenal denervation procedure, the Vessix Renal Denervation System is used. The system consists of a catheter (a thin tube) and a radio frequency (RF) generator (power…
The purpose of this study is to find out more about how physical activity monitors can help assess patients with pulmonary hypertension. We hope to find a relationship between the data on physical activity monitors and the tests that routinely done in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Many patients want to know which blood pressure medication is the best for them. In this study, we will test the feasibility of a new approach to determining the best blood pressure (BP) medication for individual patients by performing an N-of-1 trial in which patients will have the opportunity…
The purpose of this research study is to collect information about the percentage of people that develop HACA when they are treated with Unituxin and determine if HACA affects the blood levels of Unituxin. Unituxin is a type of antibody. Antibodies are made by the body to attack tumors and fight infections. Unituxin is a…
The purpose of this study is to: 1) Test the safety and tolerability of the research study drug, MK-5592 posaconazole (POS), intravenously (IV) and in powder for oral suspension (PFS), 2) Evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the study drug is absorbed and broken down in the body), of POS IV solution and POS PFS, and 3) Evaluate the taste and reaction to the…
This is a phase 1/2 multicenter study of AZD1775 (MK-1775) that will be given in combination with irinotecan. The study treatment is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating children and young adults with solid tumors which have come back or have not responded to standard…
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…
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 REDUCE LAP-HF I study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and performance of the InterAtrial Shunt Device (IASD) for patients with elevated left atrial pressure who remain symptomatic despite appropriate medical management. Placed by an interventional cardiologist during a standards catheter-based procedure, the IASD system creates a very small…
This is a Phase 1 multicenter study of a drug called ABI-009 (nab-Rapamycin) in combination withtemozolomide and irinotecan in children and young adults with solid tumors (including CNS tumors)which have come back or have not responded to standard therapy. The study is considered experimental because ABI-009 (nab-Rapamycin) is not approved by the United…
This research study is to find out whether adding olanzapine to standard antiemetics will be helpful in controlling chemotherapy-induced vomiting (CINV) in children receiving high-dose cyclophosphamide for Blood/Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) conditioning.
We are testing new experimental drugs such as selinexor in the hopes of finding a treatment that may be effective against tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. The goals of this study are: To find the highest safe dose of selinexor that can be given without causing severe side effects; To…
The purpose of this study is to find out whether an experimental device, called HeartMate PHP, can safely help maintain blood flow during angioplasty, and to compare it to an FDA approved device called Impella. This study will also evaluate the safety and efficacy of the HeartMate Percutaneous Heart Pump (HeartMate PHP) when…
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to shorten the length of time that people at high risk for bleeding take blood thinners after being treated with a coronary stent.
The goals of this study are to find the highest safe dose of ramucirumab that can be given without causing severe side effects, to learn what kind of side effects ramucirumab can cause, to learn more about the effects of ramucirumab on cells and proteins in the blood and to determine whether…
This clinical trial is for patients diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis that are at high risk of a stroke. Carotid artery stenosis develops as a result of plaque buildup in the carotid artery. Over time plaque buildup creates a narrowing of the carotid artery, restricting the flow of blood.…
