This early-phase trial is testing a combination of donor natural killer (NK) cells and the drug mogamulizumab in 12 patients with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. The NK cells are grown in the lab and given 'off the shelf' to boo…

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 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 phase 2 trial tests a two-step, lower-intensity transplant method for people with various blood cancers. The goal is to see if this gentler approach reduces the chance of dying from the transplant itself. About 63 participants will receive a combination of radiation, chemoth…

This phase 2 trial is testing a five-drug combination for a rare, aggressive type of T-cell leukemia called ETP-ALL. The study aims to see if this mix can help more patients achieve remission after their first treatment. About 27 newly diagnosed adults will receive the drugs, and…

This study tests whether the drug mogamulizumab can prevent adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) in people infected with HTLV-1 who are at high risk. About 134 participants will receive low doses of the drug over several weeks. The goal is to see if it can reduce the virus levels…

This study follows people infected with HTLV-I virus, some of whom develop a rare spinal cord condition called HAM/TSP. Researchers will track changes in symptoms, immune system markers, and virus levels over time. The goal is to better understand why only a few infected people g…

This study collects blood, bone marrow, and tissue samples from people with HIV, KSHV, or certain cancers to help researchers learn more about these diseases. Participants must be 18 or older and may have HIV, KSHV, or related conditions. No treatment is given; the goal is to gat…

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 study collects blood, bone marrow, and tumor samples from 500 adults with cancer or pre-cancerous conditions. Researchers will use these samples to learn more about how cancers behave and why some respond differently to treatments. Participants provide samples over time and …

This study collects blood, urine, bone marrow, and tissue samples from over 1,200 adults with lymphoid cancers or precancerous conditions. The goal is to help researchers better understand cancer biology, which may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating these diseases. No…

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 collects blood, urine, bone marrow, and tumor samples from people with hairy cell leukemia and other blood cancers, as well as from healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these samples to study the diseases and develop new treatments called immunotoxins, which use an…

This study is creating a large database of information and tissue samples from 1,000 people with T-cell lymphoma. Researchers will use this data to learn more about the disease and how to improve patient outcomes. Participants provide medical information and optional blood and na…

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…
