Understanding Clinical Trials - In Spanish | En Español

Los estudios clínicos, también llamados ensayos clínicos o investigación clínica, aumentan los conocimientos médicos al evaluar fármacos y procedimientos utilizando un método científico riguroso. Es la manera más segura y más eficaz de desarrollar nuevos tratamientos y mejorar los resultados de la salud.

Los estudios clínicos hacen avances en la ciencia de la manera más segura y más efectiva para descubrir y probar nuevos dispositivos, tratamientos y formas de efectuar intervenciones y procedimientos médicos.

Understanding Clinical Trials and How They Work

Clinical trials are vital to research, discovery and patient care at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian. Here’s a rundown of how they work, whom they involve and what they accomplish.

A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled, Multi-Center Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing Using the Revita® System in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin Therapy

This clinical trial is for men or women who have inadequately controlled Type 2 diabetes and are currently on stable doses of basal insulin. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the use of the Fractyl Revita System for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes for individuals who are on insulin therapy.
     
The study device, the Revita System, has not been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States since the device is experimental. The Revita System is commercially available in the United Kingdom. 

COVID-19 Compatible Accelerated TMS Therapy

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.

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) Registry

This study is for men and women over 18 years of age who have suspected or known gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or its associated complications, such as Barrett’s esophagus (a precancerous condition), or trouble swallowing due to esophagitis or scarring (stricture), who are undergoing diagnostic evaluation and treatment with Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF).  

Brain-based Mechanisms of Emotion Regulation in Aging and Mood Disorders

The Weill Cornell Institute of Geriatric Psychiatry is conducting a research study on how brain processes affect emotion regulation, social functioning, and well-being in adults ages 45-70 years old. This study is voluntary and will not influence your regular medical care.
   
   Eligible individuals who agree to participate will take part in:
   • An initial screening interview
   • Clinical interviews
   • Cognitive assessments
   • Self-report questionnaires
   • One MRI scan
   

A Phase III Study to Evaluate Long-Acting Antiretroviral Therapy in Non-adherent HIV-Infected Individuals (The LATITUDE Study)

This study is being conducted to test if injectable, long-acting anti-HIV drugs that are given every month can be used safely and effectively in individuals who are infected with HIV and who have had problems taking daily medications in the past. This study is also being conducted to evaluate how well are these study drugs tolerated.
   

A Phase I Clinical Trial of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of IL-15 Superagonist (N-803) With and Without Combination Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies to Induce HIV-1 Control During Analytic Treatment Interruption

The purpose of this study is to investigate the following:

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.
