We are seeking subjects for measurements of skin properties using non-invasive devices. Measurements will be made to the forehead and forearm of the participant. These measurements will be performed during a single visit lasting approximately 1 hour.
The Davachi Lab is currently running research studies to investigate information processing. These behavioral studies may involve looking at negative, neutral, and positive images on a computer screen (such as objects, faces, or scenes) and/or listening to negative, neutral, and positive auditory sounds (such as tones with varied pitches or human-produced…
The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of the combined treatment, using the drugs cetuximab and avelumab as well as avelumab by itself. Avelumab is a drug that works by triggering the immune system so it can try to attack the cancer again. Avelumab works in a similar way to cemiplimab, which is the usual drug for treatment of your…
Growth hormone and insulin-like growth-factor 1 (IGF-1) are two hormones that are very important to human growth and metabolism. In disorders of GH and IGF-1 excess and deficiency, significant growth and metabolic abnormalities can develop. This study investigates the effects of GH on the appetite-stimulating hormone AgRP (agouti-related peptide) and the…
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic causes of lung diseases and to develop a research repository so that we can better understand, prevent and treat these conditions. You have been asked to join this study as a healthy control. Even though you do not have lung disease, your sample is valuable to us. For example, you may be related to someone…
The Davachi Lab is currently running research studies to investigate information processing. These behavioral studies may involve looking at neutral images on a computer screen (such as objects, faces, or scenes) and/or listening to neutral auditory sounds (such as natural ambiance or artificial tones), and making judgments about them. In this study,…
We are looking for healthy people ages 18-70 to study inflammation of fat tissue. Participation includes: fasting over-night before the visit (12 hrs), a blood sample, a DXA test of body composition, an MRI test of body composition, a brief health history questionnaire, height, weight, blood pressure, pulse measurements, and a fat biopsy. For the fat biopsy…
This clinical study is being conducted for research purposes. The study cream, SD-101 (Zorblisa), has allantoin as the active ingredient and is being investigated for the treatment of the skin lesions which occur in patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa. The purpose of this clinical study is to study the effectiveness and safety…
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is medication that is taken to prevent HIV if a person is exposed to HIV. Research is ongoing to develop PrEP medications that may be both convenient and effective. This study is important because people who inject drugs face multiple overlapping individual, social, legal, and structural challenges contributing to a…
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is medication that is taken to prevent HIV if a person is exposed to HIV. Research is ongoing to identify PrEP medications that are both convenient and effective. This study is important because women in many areas of New York City have high rates of HIV coupled with low utilization of PrEP. The purpose of HPTN 102/Purpose 3…
The All of Us Research Program has a simple mission. We want to speed up health research breakthroughs. To do this, we are asking one million people to help us lead the way in discovering better care for all of us. The All of Us Research Program is a large research program. The goal is to help researchers understand more about…
This study is for adult subjects with head and neck cancer (oral cavity, oropharynx middle part of the throat, hypopharynx bottom part of the throat, or larynx part of throat between the base of the tongue and the windpipe) that has either returned after treatment (recurrent) or is newly diagnosed. If newly diagnosed, the cancer must be metastatic,…
This study is for patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN) that has a protein called B7-H3 on the tumor cells or blood vessels in thetumor. The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and most effective dose ofMGA271 in combination with ipilimumab (also called Yervoy…
This study is for patients with recurrent or metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN). This study will test the safety of an experimental anti-cancer drug (MEDI4736). MEDI4736 is an antibody (a protein produced by the defense system of the body immune system) that has been made in the laboratory. MEDI4736 boosts the ability of your…
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of study drug MEDI4736 monotherapy, tremelimumab monotherapy, and MEDI4736 and tremelimumab combination therapy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have progressed during or after treatment with…
Antibodies are one of the natural ways that our bodies fight or prevent infection. We're testing an antibody to find out if it's safe, if they don't make people feel uncomfortable, how these study antibodies move throughout the body, and to measure antiviral activity. You cannot get HIV from the study antibody. First, request to be contacted by our study…
