This early-phase study tests a new combination of two different immune cells—NK cells and CAR-T cells—for children and young adults with neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma that has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The NK cells are designed to help the CAR-T cells work…

This study tests a 10-week virtual program called Acceptance Based Coping (ABaCo) for Hispanic/Latinx military patients with type 2 diabetes. The program, delivered by a bilingual health coach, teaches skills to cope with diabetes-related stress and improve self-care. Researchers…

This study compares two approved cyclosporine eye drops—Vevye (0.1%) and a generic (0.05%)—in 60 adults with dry eye disease. Over 8 weeks, researchers will measure changes in goblet cells, which produce mucus to keep eyes moist. Participants use drops daily and visit the clinic …

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for children with a rare, aggressive brain tumor called ATRT that has come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to better recognize and attack the tumor, plus a…

This pilot trial will test a disposable endoscope in 40 adults undergoing POEM procedures for achalasia or gastroparesis. The goal is to see if the single-use scope works as well as standard reusable scopes, potentially reducing infection risk. All participants receive standard c…

This early-phase trial tests a new type of cell therapy for people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that has worsened after standard treatment. Researchers take a patient's own immune cells (T cells), add new genes to help them recognize and attack cancer cells, and re…

This early-phase trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CD70 CAR T cells in people with lymphoma, myeloma, and certain solid tumors (like kidney cancer and sarcomas) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The immune cells are modified in the lab to r…

This early-phase trial tests whether adding vitamin C to standard steroid treatment helps people with gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication after a donor stem cell transplant. About 35 participants aged 5 and older will receive vitamin C plus s…

This early-phase study tests a new type of immune therapy for people with certain blood cancers (leukemias) that have returned or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses the patient's own T cells, which are modified in the lab to recognize and attack cancer cells c…

This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help treat central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss that mostly affects women of African descent. PRP is made from a patient's own blood and is thought to reduce inflammation and promo…

This study tests whether a mobile app that plays guided imagery sessions can help reduce chronic abdominal pain in children aged 7 to 12. Participants listen to 10-15 minute audio sessions five days a week for eight weeks, alongside their usual care. The goal is to see if this ap…

This study looks for brain-based markers (biomarkers) of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in people with severe, hard-to-treat symptoms. Participants complete decision-making tasks and are exposed to personal OCD triggers while their brain activity is recorded with EEG and the…

This study observes pain levels in teenagers aged 13-18 after outpatient tonsil and adenoid removal. Participants receive either acetaminophen with ibuprofen or acetaminophen with oral ketorolac, based on their surgeon's usual practice. They report pain and recovery via text surv…

This study will implant deep brain stimulation devices in 10 adults with severe, treatment-resistant OCD to record brain activity during approach and avoidance tasks. Researchers will compare clinic-based and at-home recordings to find neural markers of OCD symptoms. The goal is …

This study will test whether a simple skin scan can accurately measure how many fruits and vegetables toddlers eat. Researchers will give 150 healthy 2-year-olds either applesauce or a fruit-vegetable puree for 4 weeks, then compare skin carotenoid levels with blood tests and foo…

This study will follow 12 people with severe OCD or bipolar disorder who are already scheduled to receive deep brain stimulation (DBS). Researchers will use the DBS device to record brain activity while participants wear smart rings, watches, and phones to track sleep, activity, …
