This early study tests a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-FC516 in 10 healthy adults and people with prostate cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it finds tumors on PET/CT scans compared to existing tracers. The results will help improve prostate cancer diagno…

This early-phase study tests a new radioactive tracer called [¹⁸F]MODAG-009 to see if it can safely highlight abnormal protein clumps in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA). About 13 participants, including healthy volunteers, will recei…

This observational study will measure salivary cortisol in 220 healthy adults and people with Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency. The goal is to establish normal reference ranges and find the best cut-off values for diagnosis. Researchers will compare two lab methods to …

People with insomnia often feel pain more intensely and recover from muscle strain more slowly. This pilot trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive technique that alters brain activity, can reduce pain sensitivity and speed recovery …

This study tests whether a dietary supplement called DNF-10 can help healthy adults manage their appetite and reduce emotional eating. Fifty volunteers will take either DNF-10 or a placebo for a period, then switch, so everyone gets both. Researchers will track snacking, food-rel…

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) simulations can help college students improve their public speaking skills and reduce anxiety. 80 students will be randomly assigned to either a VR training group or a wait-list control group. Researchers will measure speech rate, pau…

Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University are investigating how insomnia affects pain sensitivity and the soreness that follows exercise. The study compares healthy adults with insomnia to those without, measuring their responses to heat, pressure, and pinprick stimuli.…

Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University are studying whether acute muscle pain from exercise changes sleep differently in people with insomnia compared to healthy sleepers. The study enrolls 80 adults aged 18 to 60, split into two groups: those with clinical insomnia …

This trial tests an experimental imaging tracer called 64Cu-NODAGA-CANF in healthy adults. The goal is to measure how the tracer spreads through the body, calculate the radiation dose, and check its safety. Each participant receives one injection of the tracer and then undergoes …

Researchers are testing whether a gentle electrical pulse to the ear, called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), can make healthy adults pay more attention to social cues. The trial compares stimulation on different ear spots against a sham (inactive) proced…

This early-stage trial in 24 healthy adults examines how food and a common stomach-acid reducer (a proton pump inhibitor) change the way the body absorbs a new drug called VRN101099, which is being developed for solid tumors. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and …

This pilot study compares two types of Category III protective suits worn by first responders during simulated disaster-response tasks. Twelve healthy adults will perform exercises at two different temperatures while wearing each suit. Researchers will measure heart rate, body te…

This study looks at how non-nutritive sweeteners (like those in diet drinks) affect blood sugar control, gut bacteria, and hunger hormones in healthy adults aged 45-79. Over 6 weeks, participants will consume sweeteners or a control, and researchers will measure changes using glu…

This study tests whether taking high doses of nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) for two weeks can improve brain energy metabolism in 50 healthy adults. Researchers will use special MRI scans and blood tests to measure changes in key brain chemicals. There is no direct …

This study is testing whether AS01, an ingredient already used in some vaccines, can act like a personal trainer for your immune system. Researchers want to see if giving AS01 alone to healthy adults aged 21 to 59 can boost their overall ability to fight off infections. The study…

This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called [18F]MODAG-009 in 6 healthy adults. The goal is to see how the tracer moves through the body and how much radiation exposure it causes. Participants get one injection and then a full-body PET scan. This is an early-phase study…

This Phase 1 trial is comparing a generic version of the iron injection ferric carboxymaltose to the brand-name drug Injectafer in 70 healthy adults. The goal is to see if the generic works the same way in the body and is safe. Participants receive a single dose of either drug an…

This study aims to understand how the shoulder tendon changes right after two different exercise programs. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure tendon thickness before and after exercise in 24 adults, some with shoulder pain and some without. The goal is to see which exerci…

This study compares TECAR therapy (a type of electrical treatment) with active recovery on a cycle ergometer to see which helps young athletes recover faster after intense exercise. 48 healthy adults who do regular sports will do jumping exercises to get tired, then use one of th…

This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the way people walk. Researchers will use motion cameras and wearable sensors to measure walking patterns in 30 people with MS and healthy adults. The goal is to better understand gait changes, not to test a treatment.

This study tests whether a mild electrical pulse to the ear—called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation—can improve decision-making and problem-solving. Researchers will compare results in healthy adults, people with mild cognitive impairment, and those with Parkinson…

This study looks at how well a blood test can predict a person's fitness level, measured by VO₂max. Researchers will collect blood samples and fitness data from 250 healthy adults. The goal is to see if certain molecules in the blood can accurately estimate how fit someone is, an…

This early-stage trial is testing how an experimental drug called DW4421 interacts with three different NSAIDs (common pain relievers like ibuprofen). The study involves 150 healthy adults aged 19 to 50. Researchers will measure safety and how the drugs move through the body to u…
