This study is creating a database to track the results of a specific treatment approach for aggressive salivary gland cancers. It will follow 100 patients who have surgery followed immediately by combined radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see how well this combined treat…

This study is testing if a time-saving workout using whole-body muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) can help lower resting blood pressure and improve other heart health markers. It will involve 42 adults aged 50+ who have mild high blood pressure and are overweight. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing whether a special stationary bike that provides safe, unexpected shakes can improve real-world cycling skills in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will complete 20 short training sessions and then be tested on a cycling obstacle course. The goal is to s…

This study is testing if combining immunotherapy drugs (called PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) with targeted radiation is more effective for controlling several advanced cancers, including lung and head/neck cancers. It aims to help patients live longer and also tries to find patterns in …

This study is testing if a procedure called renal denervation is safe and can lower blood pressure in a small group of dialysis patients with severe, treatment-resistant high blood pressure. The procedure uses ultrasound to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, which are thought…

This study is testing whether doctors can safely reduce the amount of radiation given to head and neck cancer patients after surgery. The goal is to lower long-term side effects, like difficulty swallowing, without increasing the risk of the cancer coming back. About 500 patients…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique to see inside the tiny blood vessels of the kidney. The goal is to see if this method can provide detailed pictures of kidney damage in people with signs of kidney inflammation, like protein in their urine. If…

This study is testing two new, non-invasive imaging techniques to monitor the health of a transplanted kidney. The goal is to see if these scans can provide the same information as a standard, invasive kidney biopsy, which carries risks like bleeding. Researchers will enroll 10 a…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique to see tiny blood vessels and structures inside the kidneys of babies and young children born with urinary tract problems (CAKUT). The goal is to see if this method can provide a clearer, more detailed picture…

This study is testing two different exercise programs to help people with cancer feel better during treatment. Researchers will compare traditional flexi band resistance training to whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) over 12 weeks. They want to see which method better…

This study is testing a new, detailed ultrasound technique to detect early signs of kidney damage in children and teens who have survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to find this damage earlier than current tests can, potentially before symptoms like protein i…

This study aims to find immune system markers in blood, saliva, and stool that can predict how well a different chemotherapy drug works for head and neck cancer patients who cannot take the standard drug. Researchers will analyze samples from 250 patients receiving chemoradiother…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive eye scan to see if it can reliably measure tiny blood vessels in the retina. Researchers want to compare these measurements between people with heart disease and healthy individuals. The goal is to learn if this scan could one day help do…

This study aims to gather information on rare blood cancers in children and adolescents. It will enroll up to 500 young patients in Germany to create a national registry and biobank. The goal is to better understand how these diseases affect young people, which can help improve f…

This study aims to understand how the immune system interacts with salivary gland tumors, both cancerous and non-cancerous. Researchers will collect and analyze blood, tissue, saliva, and stool samples from 300 patients to identify immune markers that might predict how the diseas…

This study aims to understand how the immune system changes in prostate cancer patients receiving brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation treatment). Researchers will track immune cells and other markers in blood and tissue samples taken before, during, and after treatment. T…
