This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of pentoxifylline and vitamin E can help heal jaw bone damage caused by certain osteoporosis or cancer drugs. The study will enroll 17 adults with stage 2 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Researchers will measure how many…

This study compares two ways of placing Zephyr valves in the lungs of people with severe emphysema (a type of COPD). The standard method treats the entire lobe in one session, but about 27% of patients develop a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The experimental method spreads the v…

This study tests whether taking immunosuppressant drugs just once daily after a liver transplant is as safe and effective as the standard twice-daily schedule. The goal is to make it easier for patients to stick with their lifelong medication, which could improve their quality of…

This phase 3 trial tests whether a drug called interferon gamma can prevent secondary infections in ICU patients whose immune systems are suppressed. About 326 adults who have been in the ICU for at least a week and show signs of immune weakness will receive either the drug or a …

This study tests whether adding immersive virtual reality (VR) to robotic walking rehabilitation is tolerable for people who cannot walk after a stroke. Thirty non-walking stroke patients will try both standard robotic rehab and VR-enhanced sessions. Researchers will measure moti…

This study tests whether a heart medication called esmolol can replace the morphine-like drug sufentanil during gallbladder surgery to improve recovery. About 120 adults having outpatient gallbladder surgery will receive either esmolol or sufentanil. The goal is to see if esmolol…

This study tests a program called COTID, where an occupational therapist visits the homes of older adults with dementia who have recently been hospitalized for a fall. The therapist helps make the home safer and trains the caregiver to support the patient. The goal is to see if t…

This study follows 430 adults who have received a kidney, liver, or heart transplant to understand what factors help transplanted organs survive longer. Researchers collect blood, urine, and bile samples at several time points over the first year after transplant. The goal is to …

This pilot study uses a special MRI scan to measure water movement in the spinal discs of children aged 8 to 16, both with and without scoliosis. The goal is to learn more about how the discs behave in scoliosis, which may help explain why the condition develops. The study involv…

This study looks at whether childhood trauma is linked to changes in stress hormones and inflammation in obese women. Researchers will measure cortisol levels in saliva and urine, along with other markers, in 102 women. The goal is to better understand how past experiences might …

This study is looking for biological clues in the blood that explain why many people with ALS lose weight. Researchers will follow 1,000 patients in France and Germany, collecting blood samples and questionnaires alongside standard care. The goal is to find markers that could lea…

This study looks at genetic changes in natural killer (NK) and B cells—key immune cells—in people with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers want to understand why these cells don't work properly during long-term infection. The study will analyze blood samples from 140 adults with chr…

This study follows up to 1,180 children in France with a rare kidney condition called idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will collect information on disease patterns, treatments, and side effects to build a detailed database. The goal is to better understand the disease a…

This study looks at blood and kidney tissue from 150 adults with IgA nephropathy or related kidney diseases. Researchers want to find unique patterns in immune cells that cause kidney damage. The goal is to develop a blood test that could diagnose the disease without a painful ki…

This study tests whether measuring tiny blood flow (microcirculation) in sepsis patients in the emergency room can help doctors start fluid treatment earlier. Researchers will compare standard care plus these measurements to standard care alone in 556 adults with suspected sepsis…

This study is collecting data from 1,200 people across France who are having a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to remove large polyps or early cancers from the colon. ESD allows doctors to remove the entire lesion in one piece, which helps with accurate an…
