Can a gentler antifungal drug protect liver transplant patients from deadly mold without risking organ rejection?
Disease control Not yet recruitingInvasive mold infections are a major threat to liver transplant recipients, with mortality rates as high as 90%. The standard treatment, voriconazole, can interfere with anti-rejection drugs, increasing the risk of graft loss. This trial tests whether liposomal amphotericin B (Am…

New combo therapy aims to shrink rectal tumors and save organs
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs to radiation therapy can better shrink advanced rectal cancer than standard chemoradiation. About 342 adults with a specific type of rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The goal is to se…

Could a triple therapy help rectal cancer patients avoid a colostomy bag?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase II trial tests a new combination of short-course radiation, two immunotherapy drugs (Qibei'an and Camrelizumab), and chemotherapy (XELOX) in 19 people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can make the tumor disappear completely, allo…

AI trained to spot fake medical images put to the test
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingResearchers are testing whether an AI system called DeepMedFake helps doctors and healthcare auditors decide which medical images need a closer look. The system flags images that may be synthetic or that do not match the patient's information. In this trial, 64 physicians and aud…

A painless spleen scan could spot deadly vein bleeding risk without endoscopy
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether a new device, Pro9000X, can measure spleen stiffness to detect esophageal varices—enlarged veins in the esophagus that can bleed dangerously—in people with chronic liver disease. Currently, the only reliable way to diagnose these varices is an invasive en…

MRI may spare liver patients from painful scope procedure
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether a special MRI scan can safely rule out high-risk varices (enlarged veins that can bleed) in people with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis. Instead of using a camera tube down the throat (endoscopy), researchers will test an MRI-based model. If it works, ma…

Stomach fluid test could revolutionize gastric cancer diagnosis
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study explores a new way to diagnose gastric cancer by analyzing tiny particles called extracellular vesicles found in stomach fluid. Researchers will collect stomach fluid from 100 patients undergoing gastroscopy and use a special sensor to detect cancer-related changes. Th…

Can a new model forecast liver cancer in hepatitis b?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study aims to build and test a model that predicts the risk of developing liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people with hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. Researchers will analyze data from 2000 patients, including their medical history, blood sugar ma…

A liver scan that could foretell the future?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis observational study looks at whether changes in liver stiffness, measured by a device called iLivTouch, can predict serious liver-related events and death in people with fatty liver disease that has progressed to advanced scarring. The study follows over 2,000 adults with th…

AI aims to clean up health data for better research
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will develop an AI system to automatically fix errors and fill gaps in health records from 300,000 people. It also plans to create a secure way for hospitals to share data. The goal is to make health information more useful for research without changing any treatments.

Eye scans may predict brain disease in massive new study
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will analyze eye and brain scans from over 200,000 people to see if eye images can predict brain diseases like small vessel disease and other health problems. Researchers will build computer models to map eye features to brain structure and disease diagnoses. No treatm…
