Increased levels of TGF-β1 were detected in serum, plasma and BM and positively correlated with both grade of BMF and extent of leukemic cell infiltration in the marrow. TGF-β likely plays a dual role in promoting myelofibrosis and myeloproliferation, both of which ar...

In this Phase I study, the study team will evaluate the safety of Valproic Acid (VPA) expanded cord blood stem cells defined by the lack of serious infusion reactions or graft failure in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing umbilical cord blood transpl...

Mobile technologies/smartphone applications offer a means to effect behavior change without significant obstacles that typically limit implementation of empirically supported therapies (e.g., in-person sessions); however, rigorous research on apps is limited, and high-q...

This phase II trial studies how well low-dose radiotherapy works in treating bone pain in patients with multiple myeloma that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrin...

The study team will be assessing if the unilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block can decrease pain and improve outcomes following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgeries.

The MELODY Trial: Modulating Early Life Microbiome through Dietary Intervention in Crohn's Disease, will test whether a non-invasive dietary intervention during pregnancy can improve the gut microbiota composition in both pregnant Crohn's disease patients and their babi...

This Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of idasanutlin when it is given in combination with cytarabine and daunorubicin in induction, in combination with cytarabine in consolidation, and ...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is treated with high doses of systemic steroids which can lead to serious complications. A new blood test can identify patients whose GVHD is most likely to respond to well to treatment (low risk GVHD). This study will test whether pat...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation in which low level electrical currents are applied to the scalp in order to alter brain function. In the present study, tDCS will be administered with the goal of assessing the to...

This is a randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose-Ranging, trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the Treatment of Upper Limb Spasticity in Adults After Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury. The study ...

It is hypothesized that application at 4-week intervals of the human umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, nonhealing venous leg ulcer (VLU) will result in a high proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating the...

This study will evaluate the safety of oral administration of EcoActive to patients with inactive Crohn's disease and how it affects the levels of AIEC in stool.

ZYN002 is a pharmaceutically manufactured Cannabidiol (CBD) that is developed as a clear gel that can be applied to the skin (called transdermal delivery). The gel will be applied to clean, dry, intact skin of the shoulders and/or upper arms. Only participants from the ...

This is a combination of 4 therapies, three of which are used to treat a single "target site" of your cancer (such as a lymph node or a single tumor), and the 4th is given directly into the blood stream (intravenous or "IV"). 1. Radiation: The target site --lymph nod...

The purpose of this study is to learn more about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by using a new investigational technology, AO-(adaptive optics) OCT (optical coherence tomography) with hyperspectral autofluorescence (AF). While currently there is no cure for AMD,...

AMD affects 15 million Americans, with 200,000 new advanced cases diagnosed each year. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in this country, from either the “dry” or “wet” advanced forms. At present, there is no treatment for dry AMD. Besides bl...

Using Adaptive Optics technology to study high-resolution images of the damaged photoreceptors, which may provide a deeper understanding of the condition that could one day lead to the development of treatments.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in our country, and heart attack and stroke are leading causes of death. We have discovered that AMD and these lethal systemic diseases may be linked by a special form of AMD called “reticula...

We plan to identify the anatomical, biochemical and genetic differences between normal and glaucomatous eyes using various using tissue samples from the eye and blood.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of upgaze on patients with POAG and NTG. Secondary aims of this study will include stratification based on severity of glaucoma or prior surgical interventions, and presence or absence of Bell’s phenomenon.
