This study tests a lab-made skin substitute on one patient with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare disease causing fragile skin and chronic wounds. The goal is to see if the graft can reduce wound size and pain. It is an early-stage, single-patient trial, not a cure.

This early study tests whether adding three cholesterol-lowering drugs (atorvastatin, ezetimibe, and evolocumab) to standard chemotherapy can slow or stop pancreatic cancer growth. Cancer cells need lots of cholesterol to grow, and this approach aims to starve them. The trial inc…

This study tests whether a daily high-dose omega-3 supplement (fish oil) can slow the rise of PSA levels in men whose prostate cancer has returned after initial treatment. About 40 men with a rising PSA but no spread will take either the supplement or a placebo for one year. The …

This phase 2 trial tests whether taking omega-3 (EPA) supplements can reduce inflammation and slow cancer cell growth in men with high-risk prostate cancer who choose surgery. 130 participants will take either EPA capsules or a placebo for 14 months, starting before surgery. Rese…

This phase 3 trial compares a new, shorter course of radiation (ultra-hypofractionated) to the standard longer course for men with prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. Both groups also receive a brachytherapy boost and hormone therapy. The study aims to see if the shor…

This study tests a special PET scan (18F-DCFPyL) to see if it can find prostate cancer spread that standard scans miss. Fifty men with castration-resistant prostate cancer starting enzalutamide will get the new scan. The goal is to better detect and monitor metastases, which coul…

This study looks at whether eating more omega-3 fatty acids (like those in fish oil) and taking a drug called dutasteride can slow the growth of low-risk prostate cancer. The 120 participants are men on active surveillance, meaning their cancer is being watched rather than treate…

This study tests whether starting nutritional counseling early in pregnancy can improve blood sugar control in women at risk for gestational diabetes. 150 pregnant women will receive either standard care or one-on-one sessions with a dietitian, plus videos and phone support. The …

This pilot study tests whether giving dexmedetomidine and lidocaine during major non-cardiac surgery can help patients recover faster and with less pain. About 100 adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of these drugs or standard care. The main go…

This study is looking at how things like diet, physical activity, and other lifestyle habits might affect a man's risk of getting prostate cancer. Researchers are studying more than 2000 men who are at higher risk to find biological markers in the blood that could help predict ri…
