This study tests whether a fully closed-loop insulin system (which automatically adjusts insulin delivery) works better than a standard insulin pump for people with type 2 diabetes. Eighty adults who have used an insulin pump for at least six months will try both methods for 12 w…

This phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter, lighter course of corticosteroids (28 weeks) works as well as the standard longer course (52 weeks) for giant cell arteritis, a condition that inflames blood vessels. The study aims to reduce side effects from long-term steroid use. 150…

This study tests whether a custom-made silicone ear mold works as well as the standard EarWell device for correcting ear deformities in newborns. About 134 infants between 8 days and 1 month old will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the hospital-made device is a good alternativ…

This pilot study explores whether computer-assisted music remediation can improve memory, attention, and thinking in young people aged 18 to 30 who have had a first psychotic episode. Participants attend weekly group sessions using music software to practice memory and executive …

This study tests whether a smartphone app called Apneal can help screen for obstructive sleep apnea in people with head and neck cancer. Sleep apnea is common but often missed in these patients, and current diagnosis requires expensive equipment. Participants use the app at home …

This study asks 500 adults with advanced kidney disease to complete a questionnaire that presents different dialysis options. Patients choose between home dialysis (with a financial allowance) and in-center dialysis (without the allowance) 13 times, each with varying features lik…

This study looks at people with brain damage from strokes, tumors, or other conditions to understand why they have specific thinking problems. Researchers will use brain scans and cognitive tests to link brain areas to deficits. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works…

This study aims to develop a machine learning tool to predict heart damage in 600 cancer patients receiving certain chemotherapy drugs (anthracyclines or HER2-targeted therapies). Researchers will collect data over one year to see who develops heart problems. The goal is to creat…

This study is testing a new tool called the CHRONOS battery to measure how people with Alzheimer's disease perceive time. Researchers want to see if this quick, 10-minute test can identify specific problems with time perception, like judging durations or remembering when events h…

This study tests whether a two-part approach—improving communication about viral infections and having pharmacists double-check prescription lengths—can reduce how many days antibiotics are prescribed for respiratory infections like bronchitis, sinusitis, and sore throat. About 4…
