This early study tests whether a lactic acid gel (Phexxi) used twice weekly can change the vaginal microbiome to help prevent recurrent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. 22 premenopausal women with a history of these infections will use the gel for 4 weeks. Researchers wi…

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 is testing a new cooling device placed in the vagina to treat yeast infections. Researchers want to see if it can relieve symptoms and clear the infection within 7 days. The study involves 55 women aged 22-49 with uncomplicated yeast infections. It is an early-stage tr…

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 tests a gel device called Multi-Gyn FemiTotal in 80 women with bacterial vaginosis or vaginal yeast infections. Participants use the gel for 7 days, and if symptoms clear, they are followed for 4 months to see if the infection returns. The goal is to see if the gel can…

This study tests whether a gel called Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus can effectively treat bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection. About 200 women will use the gel or a placebo twice daily for one week. Researchers will check if the infection is gone three weeks after starting t…

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This study tests whether adding a probiotic supplement (Bioithas WOMAN®) to standard antifungal medicine helps relieve symptoms of vaginal yeast infections faster. About 60 women with suspected yeast infections will take either antifungal treatment alone or with the probiotic for…

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 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 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 different menstrual products—tampons, cups, and pads—affect the bacteria and immune cells in the vagina. Researchers will collect samples from 300 women aged 18-49 to compare these groups. The goal is to understand if internal products like tampons and cup…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

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 is creating a huge collection of ultrasound images from the uterus and ovaries. Researchers will gather scans from 25,000 women, both healthy and with gynecological conditions, during routine checkups. The goal is to build a database that doctors and artificial intelli…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

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 …
