This study tests a 10-week program to improve heart health in home health aides, who often have poor cardiovascular health. Participants work with a trained peer coach (another home health aide) to learn healthy habits and positive thinking. The program is based on the American H…

This early-stage trial tests a new CRISPR-based treatment called CTX310 for people with severe cholesterol and triglyceride problems that don't improve with standard therapies. The treatment uses a tiny fat bubble to deliver gene-editing tools that turn off a gene linked to high …

This study tests whether a set of lifestyle interventions can help women going through menopause reduce inflammation, improve heart health, slow biological aging, and ease symptoms like hot flashes. Researchers will enroll 200 women aged 45-55 who are in late menopause transition…

This study tests whether an AI program can help emergency doctors find undiagnosed heart failure, COPD, and cancer by analyzing chest X-rays. Researchers will compare diagnosis rates when doctors have access to the AI's findings versus when they don't. The trial involves 17,000 a…

This study collects blood samples from 20,000 adults with conditions like infections, heart disease, or kidney issues. Researchers will use these samples to develop and fine-tune new diagnostic tests that can deliver results quickly at the point of care. The goal is to make disea…

This study is testing whether an AI platform called Okaya can accurately detect fatigue and depression in people with heart conditions. Participants will complete standard questionnaires and an AI assessment that analyzes facial and vocal features. The goal is to see if the AI ma…

This study tests a tool called 'Breathlessness diagnostics in a Box' (BiaB) to see if it helps doctors in primary care diagnose the cause of breathlessness faster than usual care. About 900 adults in the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal will take part. The tool is used during rou…

This study looks at how blood pressure changes in the first year after a spinal cord injury and whether a device that stimulates the spine through the skin can help. Five people with recent injuries will be followed for a year, testing the stimulation during sessions to see if it…

This study aims to find early warning signs for major chronic diseases like stroke, heart disease, and cancer by following 4,500 healthy adults aged 30-80 in Lishui. Participants will receive regular check-ups and long-term monitoring. The goal is to improve prevention and care a…

This study looks at how sitting for 2 hours straight affects blood pressure over the next 24 hours in healthy adults aged 18-65. Researchers will measure artery function and blood pressure before, during, and after sitting, and test if blocking certain artery-relaxing chemicals c…

This study tests whether giving critically ill ICU patients red blood cells from a donor of the same sex (sex-matched) versus the opposite sex (sex-mismatched) affects their chance of survival. Over 11,000 adults in ICUs who need a transfusion will be randomly assigned to receive…

This study is for adults about to start immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for cancer. Researchers want to understand why some patients develop heart problems from this treatment. They will analyze blood samples and genetic factors from 1200 participants to find clues that could…

This study looks at how different amounts of water and non-sugar drinks affect hydration, blood sugar, and heart health in 144 adults. Participants will follow specific drinking plans over several weeks. The goal is to see if simply drinking more fluids—with or without sweeteners…
