This early-stage trial tests whether specially grown immune cells from a donor can safely help transplant patients fight off viral infections that standard treatments can't control. The cells target Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, and BK virus. Up to 36 adults wh…

This study tests whether reducing anti-rejection drugs, with or without an extra treatment called IVIG, can better control BK virus in kidney transplant patients. BK virus can damage the new kidney and lead to transplant failure. About 280 adults and children who have a kidney or…

This study tests whether specially grown immune cells (called cytotoxic T lymphocytes) can safely lower BK virus levels in 20 transplant patients with weakened immune systems. Participants have had a stem cell or kidney transplant and show signs of BK virus infection. The goal is…

This study tests whether using early drug monitoring and a dose-adjustment calculator can help infants under 90 days old with sepsis reach target vancomycin levels more quickly. Currently, doctors must wait 24-48 hours to check drug levels, which can delay effective treatment. Th…

This study tests whether specially grown immune cells (BK-specific cytotoxic T-cells) from a related donor can safely lower BK virus levels in children, teens, and young adults. Participants have BK infections that did not get better with standard treatment, often after a stem ce…

This early-stage trial is testing whether genetically modified T-cells can safely control viral infections in cancer patients with weakened immune systems. The T-cells are designed to target specific viruses like CMV, BK virus, or COVID-19. The study involves 30 participants and …

This study tests whether giving patients donor-derived immune cells (VSTs) on a regular schedule can prevent dangerous viral infections after a stem cell transplant. 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive VSTs either on a fixed schedule or only when a virus is dete…

This study compares two ways of giving the antibiotic cefepime to very sick patients with sepsis in the ICU. The new method adjusts the dose based on the patient's kidney function, using only standard doses. The main goal is to see if this approach is easy for doctors to use and …

This study tests whether specially grown immune cells from an unrelated donor can safely treat viral infections in people with weakened immune systems, such as after a stem cell transplant. About 750 participants will receive these cells and be monitored for side effects like inf…

This study tests whether specially grown donor immune cells (viral-specific T-cells) can safely treat viral infections that often occur after a stem cell transplant. These infections can be serious and sometimes don't respond to standard antiviral drugs. The approach aims to boos…

This study tests whether giving zinc supplements along with standard antibiotics can reduce deaths and improve recovery in young infants (0-59 days old) hospitalized with severe infections like sepsis or pneumonia. About 3,250 babies in Tanzania will receive either zinc or a plac…

This study looks at how the immune system changes with age and how that affects the risk of infections in people 60 and older. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and other samples from elderly patients with infections and healthy older adults. By analyzing immune cells…

This registry study is collecting blood and urine samples from 60 kidney transplant recipients who have BK virus infection. Researchers want to understand how the immune system responds to the virus and how immunosuppressive drugs affect that response. The goal is to find better …

This study aims to improve how doctors evaluate and manage people who have been exposed to bioterrorism agents (like anthrax) or emerging infectious diseases (like SARS or new flu strains). Up to 200 participants, including patients and healthcare workers, will be monitored and t…

This study looks at 100 kidney transplant patients to understand where the BK virus comes from and why some people get sicker than others. Researchers will compare the virus in patients and their donors, and check how the immune system responds. The goal is to find better ways to…

This study collects anonymous symptom descriptions from 1,000 adults through an online platform. An AI tool then searches medical literature to see if it can find reliable biological signals in the free-text descriptions. The goal is to test how accurate and consistent the AI's f…

This study tests a new, lightweight ultrasound device called NeoDoppler that can be gently placed on a newborn's soft spot (fontanelle) to continuously measure blood flow in the brain. Researchers will enroll 180 preterm and full-term infants, including those with conditions like…

This study is looking at whether early signs of inflammation in the blood can help identify which patients with infections are at risk for serious complications like sepsis. Researchers will follow 4,200 adults with confirmed or suspected infections, as well as healthy controls, …

This study looks at how the antibiotic ceftazidime avibactam behaves in 30 children with severe infections who are in intensive care, some on life support. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand the right dose. The goal is to improve treatment for life-th…

This study looks at how the antifungal medicine caspofungin behaves in children with severe infections, especially those with liver problems or on life support like ECMO. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand dosing needs. About 60 children in intensive …

This study will collect data from 2,000 children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) with severe infections across major Chinese cities. Over 10 years, researchers will track which germs cause these infections, how they are treated, and patient outcomes. The goal i…

This study looks at two common antibiotic combinations given to hospitalized adults with infections: vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam, or vancomycin plus cefepime. The goal is to see if one is less likely to cause kidney injury than the other, using more sensitive markers …

This study will test 10,000 people in Cambodia for 57 different infectious diseases, including dengue, flu, and malaria. Researchers want to understand how these diseases spread and who is at risk. The goal is to give local health authorities the information they need to create b…
