    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 purpose of the first part of this study, the Dose Escalation part, is to study and identify the highest tolerable safe dose of MORAb-202. Not all patients will get the same dose of the study drug. At the beginning of the study, a small group of three to six patients will receive an infusion with a low dose of the study drug. If this dose does not cause severe side effects, it will be increased for each new group of patients who participate in the study and will continue until the highest tolerable safe dose of the drug is confirmed. This dose will be selected and used as the starting dose...

    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.

    GO MOMs is an observational study designed to characterize the glycemic profile of pregnancy using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology in order to develop criteria using CGM measurements and/or early pregnancy oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) at 10w0d-14w0d gestation that are predictive, along with clinical factors, of adverse pregnancy outcomes in mothers and their newborns.

    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.

    Ovaprene, is an experimental monthly non-hormonal intravaginal contraceptive being developed as a possible new method of birth control. It consists of a round piece of woven material surrounded by a soft, flexible rubber ring. The ring itself is made of a silicone rubber combined with the following ingredients: ferrous gluconate (a type of iron), Vitamin C, glycine and polyglycolide microparticles (a slowly dissolving compound). The materials in the study ring are slowly released during the woman's cycle to create an environment that makes it more difficult for sperm to be mobile. The study...

    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.
