Accelerated TMS for Depression and OCD

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an FDA-cleared treatment for depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) that uses focused magnetic field pulses to stimulate target brain areas. Multiple brain targets in the prefrontal cortex have shown consistent evidence of treatment efficacy in both depression and OCD, but there are currently no established methods for selecting the optimal target site in individual patients.

A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Volixibat in the Treatment of Cholestatic Pruritus in Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (VISTAS)

This clinical trial is to evaluate the experimental (investigational) study drug Volixibat in men or women who have been diagnosed with Cholestatic Pruritus (itching) with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a disease of the bile ducts, which carry the digestive bile acid (used by the body to help with digestion) from your liver to your small intestine. In PSC, inflammation causes scars within the bile ducts. These scars make the ducts hard and narrow and gradually cause serious liver damage.

PRagmatic EValuation of evENTs And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in oldEr Adults (PREVENTABLE)

The purpose of PREVENTABLE is to learn if taking a statin could help older adults live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease.
   
PREVENTABLE is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled superiority study. This study seeks to assess the benefit of statins (Atorvastatin) for reducing the primary composite of death, dementia, and persistent disability and secondary composites including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cardiovascular events.
   

Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Anaplastic Wilms Tumors (DAWT) and Relapsed Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).

The Effects of Iron on Oxidative Stress and Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers in Amyloid-Positive and Negative Elderly Individuals

The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in iron in the brains of subjects with and without beta-amyloid deposition. Iron is an essential mineral in your body, and beta-amyloid is a protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Studies suggest that excess iron in the brain may be involved in processes that lead to Alzheimer's disease.

CSF Clearance in Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease

We have developed and validated a non-invasive method to estimate the clearance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. This study tests the hypothesis that reduced CSF clearance is predictive of a) future amyloid lesions, b) brain atrophy, and c) cognitive decline in healthy elderly adults or those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). 

 Measuring brain CSF clearance with novel, experimental imaging techniques may advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression at its earliest stages. 

VMO-01C: An Open-Label, Multiple-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of VMD-928 in Subjects with Solid Tumors or Lymphoma

This is a clinical trial for adults with cancer, which has continued to grow despite the treatments already received, because the standard drugs used to treat the disease are no longer working, because the tumor cells are resistant to available treatments, or subjects are not a candidate for or intolerant of other available treatments. The subjects with solid tumors and lymphoma are eligible for this trial.
   

Daratumumab, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone (DPd) in Relapsed/Refractory Light Chain Amyloidosis Patients Previously Exposed to Daratumumab

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of this combination of drugs in light chain (AL) amyloidosis which has relapsed or become refractory to other treatments. Amyloidosis is a rare disease that is caused by a substance called amyloid. Amyloid is an abnormal protein produced by plasma cells in the bone marrow which cannot be broken down by the body and so accumulate over time in various organs. Amyloidosis can affect different organs in different people. The most commonly affected organs are the heart, kidney, liver, spleen, nervous system, and digestive tract.

Multimodal Neuroimaging in Traumatic Brain Injury

We are looking for people to participate in a Weill Cornell research study using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to better understand brain processes that may make Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) a risk factor for later development of Alzheimer’s Disease or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).


Research study participation lasts up to two years and involves:

A Pilot Study of Rimegepant in Moderate Plaque-type Psoriasis

This research study is being done because there is a need for systemic therapies for moderately severe plaque-type psoriasis that are both effective and have minimal side effects.
