    This research study is being done to understand how CPAP for sleep apnea may affect hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and other complications of pregnancy such as gestational diabetes. The purpose of the home sleep test is to find women with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is when you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. Studies have shown that women with sleep apnea have an increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy. If the test shows that you have sleep apnea in the mild to moderate range you will be eligible for a research study to...

    The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (the investigational surgery) to laparotomy (the current standard of care) in women with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) who receive chemotherapy before and after surgery. Researchers want to learn if one surgery can prevent the disease from returning for longer and/or improve your quality of life after surgery. Both the minimally invasive surgery and laparotomy procedures in this study are performed using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. It is considered investigational to...

    The main purpose of this study is to determine if two surgical procedures, the usual approach of removing the fallopian tubes and ovaries and the other approach of removing the fallopian tubes at this time with the plan to remove the ovaries at a later time, are no different for ovarian cancer risk reduction in women with BRCA1 mutations who have completed childbearing. In this study, the removal of fallopian tubes will be compared to the removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries. The study will also examine what factors go into deciding which surgery to have and symptoms after surgery caused by...

    Researchers at Columbia are looking into possible viral causes of stillbirth or late-term miscarriages in patients. We are looking for people who have recently had a late-term pregnancy loss (within the past week). Participation in this research involves a one-time blood draw. Participants will receive $50.

    Women will be enrolled at or prior to prenatal visit at 34-40 weeks gestation with follow-up visits within 48 hours of delivery, and 6 and 12 months postpartum among the mother and infant. Maternal and infant measurements will be conducted at each visit. The purpose of the study is to estimate cardiovascular disease risk in healthy and medically complicated pregnant women and their infants 840 mother-infant dyads.

    Researchers at Columbia are looking at the changes that happen in the placenta when people become pregnant. Participation in this study involves a blood draw at three time points. Participants will be paid $50 at each time point. Participants who complete all three time points will receive bonus compensation.

    This study will enroll participants who did or did not receive a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine during their pregnancy and have a child who is now 18-30 months of age. In order to assess the long-term outcomes of the offspring of those who received SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in pregnancy, a cohort study examining child developmental outcomes is needed. There are a number of known tests of developmental milestones that are easy to administer and can be administered remotely.

    In this research study, an investigational medication named ACR-368 (also known as prexasertib) is being tested for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, and urothelial carcinoma. In this study, ACR-368 is being tested when it is given alone (called monotherapy) and when it is combined with low doses of a chemotherapy medication named gemcitabine (called combination therapy). ACR-368 has not been approved for use as a treatment for any condition, by government agencies in any country. ACR-368 is a type of medication called a checkpoint kinase inhibitor which may...

    This research study has two parts. Participants will be enrolled in the second part of the study. The names of the study drugs are RGX-104, nivolumab, ipilimumab, docetaxel, carboplatin, and pemetrexed. The purpose of the first part of the study is to determine the highest dose of RGX-104 the body can handle. The purpose of the second part is to determine if the highest dose of RGX-104 determined in the first part might be an effective treatment option for people with advanced cancers. Both parts of the study will try to understand the safety and side effects of RGX-104.
