This study compares two surgical techniques for ovarian endometrioma—standard cyst removal (cystectomy) versus a newer method using argon plasma coagulation (APC) to vaporize the cyst lining. The goal is to see which better preserves ovarian reserve, measured by antral follicle c…

This trial tests whether a new scoring system, called the Biological Congestion Score (BCS), can help doctors better manage diuretic medications in people with chronic heart failure. The BCS combines four blood biomarkers with clinical information to estimate fluid congestion and…

This study tests whether using a laser to clear re-narrowed heart stents works better than standard balloon treatment. About 1,260 adults with drug-eluting stent restenosis will be enrolled. The goal is to see if laser-assisted angioplasty reduces heart-related deaths, heart atta…

This pilot study tests two medical devices that recondition donor lungs outside the body before transplant. The goal is to see which device helps more marginal donor lungs become healthy enough for transplant. Twenty adults awaiting double lung transplant will take part. If one d…

This study looks at two substances in the blood, IL-18 and IL-18BP, to see if they can help doctors tell apart different causes of fever in children. Researchers will measure these levels in 9 children with conditions like juvenile arthritis, autoinflammatory diseases, or serious…

This study will test a new RT-PCR method to diagnose Rickettsia infection, a tick-borne disease, using routine biopsy samples. Researchers will enroll 800 patients with suspected infection and compare the new test to standard methods. The goal is to see if the test can detect the…

This study tests a soft belt that tracks a newborn's heart rate and breathing during the first few days of life. The goal is to catch early signs of sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC), a rare but serious event. Researchers will enroll 5,000 babies to see if the device de…

This study looks at whether testing the liquid used to preserve donor livers and kidneys can predict infections in recipients. Researchers will check if bacteria or fungi in that fluid match infections that develop after transplant. The goal is to see if this simple test could he…

This study will follow 70 adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who are receiving bispecific antibody therapy. Researchers want to understand why some patients don't respond or develop serious side effects. They will look at tumor samples, gut bacteria, a…

This study will collect information from 2,000 adults having colorectal surgery with the Hugo RAS robot. Researchers will track complications, recovery, and long-term outcomes to see how safe and effective the system is. The goal is to provide real-world evidence to improve minim…

This study will follow 300 children who had cancer to see how a stem cell transplant before puberty affects their final height and hormone levels. Researchers will compare those who received a transplant with those who did not. The goal is to understand the long-term impact on gr…

This observational study looks at how different surgical tools affect the physical strain on surgeons. Ten experienced surgeons will wear motion-capture suits and muscle sensors during standard bowel or prostate surgeries using either traditional keyhole methods or robotic system…

This study will collect tumor and blood samples from 120 people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Researchers will create mouse models from the samples and analyze molecular markers to understand resistance to standard therapies. The goal is to find new treatment target…

This study aims to see if a special device called a U-Cup bioreactor can predict how well standard chemotherapy will work in women with high-grade ovarian cancer. Researchers will take tumor samples from 120 patients before treatment and test them in the lab. The goal is to find …
