This study tests whether custom 3D-printed titanium implants can safely and effectively rebuild facial bones in 30 adults with defects from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions. Each implant is designed from CT scans to match the patient's unique anatomy. Researchers will …

This study tests a new medicine called fosmanogepix for adults with serious mold infections that are hard to treat. About 234 people will join, receiving either the new drug or standard care. The main goal is to see if fewer people die by day 42. The study is currently recruiting…

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 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 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 combination of two antifungal drugs—liposomal amphotericin B plus either posaconazole or isavuconazole—in 60 adults with blood cancers who also have a serious fungal infection called mucormycosis. The goal is to see if the combo can clear the infection better a…

Mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection with a high death rate, and early treatment is critical. This study is testing a new blood test that looks for a unique sugar marker from the fungus. Researchers will compare results from 100 people—those with the infection, those at hig…

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 is testing a new rapid diagnostic device called In-Dx to quickly identify infections and antibiotic resistance in emergency patients with suspected sepsis. Researchers will compare the device's results to standard lab cultures using stored samples from 2,500 patients. …

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 examines whether chest CT scans can help predict how patients with a rare but severe lung fungal infection called pulmonary mucormycosis will fare. Researchers will review scans from 80 patients treated at a French hospital to identify imaging patterns linked to better…

This study monitors the immune system of 20 adults with serious mold infections (like Aspergillus) to see how their T cells respond. The goal is to find out which patients might benefit from adding immunotherapy to standard antifungal drugs. Researchers will measure immune checkp…

This pilot study is testing whether a smart wristband can accurately measure drug levels in sweat compared to standard blood tests. Researchers will collect sweat, saliva, and blood samples from 100 patients with chronic or infectious diseases who are taking medications like cycl…

This study is looking for new ways to diagnose sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to infection, earlier in the emergency room. Researchers will study the immune responses of 3,300 adults with suspected infections to find patterns that signal sepsis. The goal is to improve diagno…
