Clinical Trials

This phase II trial studies how well xisomab 3G3 works in preventing catheter-associated blood clots (thrombosis) in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Many patients with cancer develop blood clots from their catheters and can have pain, swelling, and other symptoms.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of unseparated whole blood (referred to as Low-Titer Group O Whole Blood) and the separate components of whole blood (including red cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate) in critically injured patients who require large-volume blood transfusions.

This study will test two different platelet transfusion strategies, based on two different platelet counts thresholds.

Do you or your child have a platelet, bleeding, or white blood cell disorder? This study is looking at people who have platelet or other blood disorders. The researchers will use a blood sample to look for problems with platelets and a possible genetic cause in the participant’s DNA or RNA. To participate in this study, you must be a child or adult who either is healthy or has a platelet disorder, coagulation disorder, or white blood cell disorder. This study is located in New York, New York.

To determine the mechanism of monocyte priming in humans, the study team will conduct a complete feeding trial in normal weight and metabolically healthy human subjects (20-45 years of age) using a western diet (WD), characterized as being high-saturated fat, high-fructose, and high-calorie for 8 weeks.

The Together Everyone Achieve More (TEAM) Physical Activity trial evaluates the efficacy of a group-based social affiliation intervention (vs. a standard group-delivered physical activity comparison program) for increasing physical activity among inactive African American women. Using a group cohort randomized design implemented at community centers across five years, the primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 10-week TEAM-PA group-based intervention (vs. comparison program) on increasing daily total physical activity from baseline to post-intervention and maintenance at a 6-month follow-up.

The study aims to determine the minimally effective dose combination(s) of frequency and duration needed to provide cardiometabolic benefit during an 8-hour experimentation period.

This study will identify and test the physiological effects of several sedentary behavior interruption strategies and explore the feasibility (i.e., likelihood of an individual performing the requested activities) of those strategies to inform the development of public policy surrounding sedentary behavior interruption. Long-term, the findings of this study will inform a large clinical trial that can test whether sedentary behavior reduction can decrease cardiovascular disease risk.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of estradiol with or without a prior gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue on insulin sensitivity and vascular function in transgender females compared to cisgender controls.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how dietary habits in the post-surgical year impact outcomes of bariatric surgery.
