Experiences, Perceptions, and Needs of Critical Care Fellows During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the experiences of critical care fellows during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to document the challenges and perceptions of the fellows who were training and working in New York City hospitals during the crisis, and to improve clinician support and patient care.

Protocol for A Research Sample Repository for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Other Cellular Therapies and Marrow Toxic Injuries

The purpose of storing a blood sample from donors and their recipients in the NMDP/CIBMTR Research Sample Repository is to provide cells and plasma (the liquid portion of blood) for the NMDP/CIBMTR Research Sample Repository. By studying the cells and plasma of donors and recipients, researchers may learn more about improving the tissue matching between unrelated donors and their recipients. Increasing knowledge about tissue matching could result in the improved long-term survival of bone marrow and stem cell transplant recipients.

A Multi-center Access and Distribution Protocol for Unlicensed Cryopreserved Cord Blood Units (CBUs) for Transplantation in Pediatric and Adults Patients with Hematologic Malignancies and Other Indications

Cord blood (CB) is blood that is taken from the umbilical cord and placenta of healthy newborn babies after childbirth. The cord blood collected from a newborn baby is called a cord blood unit. Cord blood units are stored frozen (cryopreserved) in public cord blood banks. Approximately 10,000 cord blood transplants have been performed in children and adults for blood cancers and other blood diseases in the world.

Indications for Use of CD34 Selection Column (CliniMACS-Miltenyi Biotec)

The purpose of this study is to provide cell therapy to you, which will involve the use of CliniMACS CD34 Selection Device. Your family member or an unrelated (donor) will have to undergo a stem cell collection. The donation process that your family member or the unrelated donor will undergo is standard practice. 

A Comprehensive Set of Data to Be Utilized for Future Projects of Those Patients That Will Be Undergoing A Stem-Cell Transplant at the WCMC/NYPH

The primary purpose for establishing this study is to have a comprehensive source of observational data that can be used to study stem cell HSC transplantation and outcomes at Weill Cornell Medical College.

The LUCINDA Trial

The main purpose of the LeUprolide plus Cholinesterase Inhibition to reduce Neurological Decline in Alzheimer's (LUCINDA) study is to determine whether the medication Eligard (leuprolide acetate subcutaneous injection) may slow or prevent decline in thinking abilities and functioning in women with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) who are also taking the medication donepezil (Aricept).

The NYPH-Weill Cornell Medical Center Gastrointestinal Oncology Registry

The goal of this study is to create a registry of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. This registry will provide important information about the types of gastrointestinal cancers seen at the institution, their presentation, and course of disease. We plan to review, analyze pathological features, clinical features, and other parameters of digestive diseases as related to types of treatment, patterns of care, time to progression, and survival at NYPH-Weill Cornell Medical Center.
