INFECTIONS

This study follows women who received a Group B Streptococcus (GBS) vaccine in a previous pregnancy to see if their immune protection lasts. It also tests whether a booster dose given in a new pregnancy is safe and boosts immunity, aiming to protect newborns from serious infectio…

This study tests if bevacizumab, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth, can help adults with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) go longer between surgeries to remove wart-like growths in the airways. About 21 participants who need at least two surgeries per year will rec…

This study looks at whether treating patients at home for conditions like heart failure, infections, and diabetes can lead to better health outcomes and experiences. About 9,600 adults will receive hospital-level care at home through a digital program. Researchers will measure de…

This study tests a new way to prevent surgical site infections by using a special light treatment inside the nose before surgery. About 4,740 adults having major surgeries will either get this light treatment or standard care. The goal is to see if the light treatment reduces inf…

This study looks at whether taking daily vitamin D and omega-3 (fish oil) supplements can lower the chance of getting infections like colds, flu, and urinary tract infections in healthy adults. Over 25,000 people are taking part. Researchers will also measure a natural germ-fight…

This study looks at why some mothers get severe infections (sepsis) after childbirth, especially in underserved communities. Researchers will interview 200 patients and community experts to learn how social factors like poverty and access to care affect health. The goal is to cre…

This study planned to see if an artificial intelligence system could predict sepsis—a life-threatening infection—in people recovering from abdominal surgery. Participants would have worn a simple, non-invasive device to track vital signs, and the AI would combine that data with l…

This study looks at whether infant formula with added bio-active ingredients helps healthy babies grow well and have fewer infections. About 456 full-term, healthy infants will be fed either the special formula or a standard one. Parents will report growth, comfort, and any infec…

This study aims to understand how the immune system responds to a second infection with a mild bird flu virus (H10N7). Healthy adults who were previously infected with this virus in a prior study will be re-infected via a nasal spray. Participants will stay in the hospital for at…
