This study tests a combination of two drugs, tislelizumab and pemetrexed, in 28 adults with a rare type of brain cancer (primary CNS lymphoma) that has returned or not responded to prior therapy. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and improve survival. Partic…

This study is looking at how well a treatment called TheraSphere® works for people with early-stage liver cancer. The treatment uses tiny radioactive beads to target and destroy cancer cells from inside the liver. Researchers will track 200 patients in Korea to see how long they …

This study looks at a new type of electrode (Octopus MP) used in radiofrequency ablation to treat small liver cancers (3 cm or smaller). The goal is to see how well it destroys tumors and how often cancer comes back at the treatment site. About 76 adults with liver disease (like …

This study tests a new fluorescent clip that glows under special lights to help surgeons locate colon tumors during minimally invasive surgery. About 110 adults with colon cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the clip or a standard dye injection before surgery. The …

This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can safely control ulcerative colitis symptoms over the long term and reduce the need for steroids. About 30 people aged 10–80 with mild to moderate disease will receive the treatment and be followed for 48 w…

This study looks at how the 'watch and wait' approach affects the quality of life of people with slow-growing lymphomas. Researchers want to know if waiting without treatment causes anxiety or worry. About 250 Korean adults with these cancers will fill out questionnaires to measu…

This study is collecting health information from 2000 people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to create tools that predict how well different treatments will work. The goal is to help doctors choose the right biologic or small-molecule drug for each patient. Participant…

This study compares virtual reality (VR) training with high-fidelity simulation (HFS) for teaching new doctors how to handle emergencies like severe allergic reactions and low oxygen levels. About 124 medical interns will be randomly assigned to either VR or HFS training, then te…

This study looks at whether women with small breast tumors (under 5 cm) and no signs of cancer in their lymph nodes can avoid sentinel lymph node biopsy during breast-conserving surgery. About 1,734 women are being randomly assigned to either have the biopsy or skip it. The goal …

This study looks at how the area around a tumor changes in HER2-positive breast cancer patients during chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers will take samples before, during, and after treatment to track these changes. The goal is to better understand how the tumor responds to…

This study aimed to see if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS could help with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of motivation or emotion. Researchers planned to use brain scans and electrical recordings to understand how it works. However, the study was …

This study aims to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine called ropivacaine for foot surgery in people with diabetes. About 45 adults having diabetic foot surgery will receive an ultrasound-guided nerve block. The goal is to ensure good pain control while using t…

This study compares two methods for placing a breathing tube through the nose during ear, nose, and throat surgery. 74 adults will be randomly assigned to have the tube placed using either a videolaryngoscope or a flexible bronchoscope. The main goal is to see which tool leads to…

This study looks at why advanced lung cancer with a specific gene change (EGFR mutation) stops responding to the targeted drug osimertinib. About 148 adults will take osimertinib daily, and researchers will analyze tumor samples when the cancer progresses. The goal is to find new…

This study is testing whether a video system can help parents provide early developmental therapy at home for premature infants (born before 32 weeks or under 1500 grams) who have brain damage. About 12 babies will take part, and parents will use Zoom and a smartphone to record t…

This study is looking at whether having low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before lung cancer surgery affects how well patients recover. Researchers are following 400 older adults who are having surgery to remove lung cancer. They want to see if muscle loss can help predict survival an…
