We are studying the effects of blood donation. If you are considering donating blood at the next school blood drive, please contact us to determine eligibility. You may qualify for participation whether or not you successfully donate blood…
We are seeking adult volunteers with body mass index in the obesity range (30-45 kg/m2) to come in for a single study visit where they answer some health questions and have a small volume of blood drawn (25 cc/1.7 tbsp). We will measure levels of the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin as well…
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the relationship of stress, salt excretion, and nighttime blood pressure. Blood pressure normally has a diurnal pattern: it is highest during the day and dips during the night. The effects of psychological stress can…
The measurement of blood pressure used to determine if a person has highblood pressure (also known as hypertension) and whether their blood pressure is controlled while taking medications that lower blood…
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…
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is medication that is taken to help prevent HIV infection even if they are exposed to HIV. Research is continuing to find other, more convenient types of PrEP. This study is important because people in many areas of New York City have high rates of HIV acquisition, but use of prevention…
Celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Men with celiac disease were found to be at higher risk for metabolic bone disease compared to women with celiac disease. The mechanisms underlying metabolic bone disease in celiac disease remain incompletely understood. The goal of this study…
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…
This clinical research study is seeking healthy individuals ages 18 to 65 who do not have HIV to help researchers understand how the body's immune system responds to three investigational antibodies (VRC07-523LS, PGT121.414.LS, and PGDM1400LS) against HIV when given in different combinations and doses. This is a Phase 2 study, which means that the…
This study is evaluating genomic screening in Ashkenazi Jewish and Hispanic communities. Genomic screening is done by collecting a blood sample and looking at a person's genes to learn if they are at high risk for certain health problems like cancer or heart disease or are at risk to have a child…
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…
The HIV Vaccine Trials Network, Division of AIDS, and Columbia University Irving Medical Center are conducting a trial to learn about the safety and effectiveness of 3 experimental HIV vaccines. This is a first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial of experimental HIV vaccines utilizing the mRNA vaccine platform. The 3 different experimental vaccines being tested…
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…
Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other single right ventricle lesions who have undergone the Fontan procedure have a high risk of neurodevelopmental disorders that affect quality of life and adulthood employment. This study will leverage the ongoing National Heart, Lung, and Blood…
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 study is associated with the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) at Columbia University. The study seeks to understand changes in the way the brain's structure and function are related to age, and the risk of developing memory problems, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and dementia. The study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine these…
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…
