This study is for people with bladder cancer that has spread to a small number of other body parts (up to 3 spots). It compares standard treatment (chemotherapy or immunotherapy) alone versus standard treatment plus a precise, high-dose radiation therapy called stereotactic body …

This study looks at whether a precise, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT can control or eliminate kidney cancer in patients who are not candidates for surgery due to age, frailty, or other health risks. About 53 participants with early-stage kidney cancer will receive SBR…

This study tests whether giving focused radiation before surgery for large brain tumors (over 2.1 cm) works better than giving it after surgery. About 146 adults with cancer that has spread to the brain will be randomly assigned to one of the two timing groups. The goal is to see…

This study is collecting information from 500 adults with solid tumors who are receiving proton therapy, a type of radiation that may cause fewer side effects than standard radiation. The goal is to gather real-world data on how well proton therapy controls cancer and its side ef…

This study is looking back at medical records of 300 adults with breast cancer that has spread to only a few places in the body (oligometastatic). Researchers want to see if a precise type of radiation called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can help control the cancer and h…

This study compares new rapid tests that identify which antibiotic will work best for a patient's bloodstream infection against the usual slower methods. The goal is to see if faster results help doctors prescribe the right, targeted antibiotic sooner, improving patient outcomes …

This study looks at whether serious muscle weakness, known to affect ICU patients, also happens to people in regular hospital wards. Researchers will follow 600 adults hospitalized for acute illness, half with organ failure and half without, to see how often weakness occurs and w…

This study looks at using a precise type of radiation (SBRT) again in lung cancer patients whose cancer came back in the same spot after previous radiation. It includes 150 patients who cannot have surgery. The goal is to learn how safe and effective this second treatment is, sin…
