This study is developing a new way to treat pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where the lungs become scarred and stiff. The approach uses tiny particles called liposomes, coated with hyaluronic acid, to deliver drugs directly to the cells that cause scarring. The research is being …

This study tests a new rapid DNA sequencing method to diagnose bacterial lung infections. Researchers will compare how fast and accurately the new test works versus traditional lab cultures. 100 adults with suspected lower respiratory infections will provide samples for analysis.

This study is enrolling 120 adults with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) to see if certain blood clotting factors are linked to how well they respond to neridronic acid treatment. Researchers will measure pain levels before and after treatment. The goal is to find markers th…

This study was designed to learn more about different types of Candida fungus that cause serious bloodstream infections, and how they become resistant to medicines. The researchers planned to study samples from adult patients to track which species were most common and how they r…

This study looks at gene activity in blood cells from 30 kidney or lung transplant patients who have chronic rejection. Researchers want to find out why some patients improve with a treatment called extracorporeal photoapheresis (ECP) while others do not. The goal is to better un…

This study follows 60 cancer patients who have a hidden form of hepatitis B (occult infection) and are receiving immunotherapy. The goal is to see how often the virus becomes active again, which could cause liver problems. Researchers will monitor blood tests and immune responses…

This study looks at 100 patients with recurrent hypopharyngeal cancer who had salvage surgery with flap reconstruction. Researchers compare free flaps and pedicled flaps to see which leads to fewer complications. The goal is to find the best surgical approach for these patients.

This study looks at 400 people who had surgery to remove throat cancer (laryngectomy or pharyngolaryngectomy). The goal is to find out which factors, like using a surgical flap or muscle loss (sarcopenia), increase the risk of a fistula—a leak that can cause infection. Researcher…

This study compares two types of dialysis filters in 30 kidney patients to see which one causes less damage to white blood cells and reduces inflammation. One filter is made of a special material called PMMA that may remove more harmful substances. The goal is to understand how d…

This study looks at how the diversity of bacteria in the gut might affect how well immunotherapy works in people with solid tumors. Researchers will collect stool and blood samples from 70 cancer patients starting immunotherapy to track changes in gut bacteria and immune markers.…

This study examines whether people with certain blood cancers (myeloproliferative neoplasms) have autoantibodies that block a key immune protein called type I interferon. These autoantibodies may increase the risk of severe COVID-19. Researchers will test blood samples from 219 p…
