BIOMARKERS / BLOOD

This study tests whether using a special ultrasound technique (mVExUS) to guide how much fluid is removed during dialysis can improve outcomes for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. 126 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the ultr…

This study will check if a blood test can find signs of Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. Researchers will test 1,000 adults aged 55 and older in primary care. The goal is to see if blood markers for amyloid and tau proteins match those found in spinal flu…

This study looks at whether a blood test can detect brain bleeding in older adults (75+) who fall repeatedly. Instead of always using a CT scan, which can be hard to get quickly, researchers will measure two proteins in the blood. The goal is to see if this test is accurate enoug…

This study will measure specific immune cells in the blood of 200 non-small cell lung cancer patients before and after surgery. The goal is to see if these markers can help predict if the cancer will come back or how long patients will live. Participants must have early-stage lun…

This study follows 600 kidney transplant patients to see if a blood test (TruGraf and TRAC) can help doctors manage immunosuppression and detect early signs of rejection. The goal is to improve long-term outcomes by reducing the need for invasive biopsies. Participants will be mo…

This study will include 30 people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive brain tumor. Researchers will use a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure chemicals in the tumor, and also test blood for certain markers. T…
