This study tests a personalized vaccine made from a patient's own leukemia cells and immune cells. The goal is to train the immune system to recognize and destroy any remaining cancer cells after chemotherapy, helping to prevent the leukemia from returning. The trial involves 82 …

This study tests whether delivering DASH diet groceries to the homes of Black adults with high blood pressure can help lower their blood pressure. Participants live in Boston-area food deserts and are already on blood pressure medication. The goal is to see if better access to he…

This early-phase trial tests a custom-made cancer vaccine (DC/AML fusion) for people with acute myeloid leukemia who have already had a stem cell transplant. The vaccine is designed to train the immune system to find and attack any remaining leukemia cells. Some participants also…

This study looks at how well different two-step cervical cancer screening methods work in Botswana, using an HPV test first. About 3,000 women aged 25 and older will take part, including those living with HIV. The goal is to find the most accurate and affordable way to detect ear…

This study looks at whether a long-acting HIV prevention shot (CAB-LA) is safe and works well for new mothers who are breastfeeding. About 500 women in Botswana will get the shots after giving birth and be followed for 24 months. Researchers will check how many women keep using t…

This study looks at whether tai chi exercises and wearable fitness trackers can help people who have had a heart attack (acute coronary syndrome) become more physically active. About 70 adults who are currently inactive will take part. The goal is to see if this approach is enjoy…

This study looks at a new, less invasive way to measure bone strength in women who have broken a hip or wrist. The goal is to see if this method can identify those at higher risk for future fractures better than the usual bone density test. About 190 women with recent fractures a…

This pilot study tests whether using a gentler, low-intensity breathing machine during robotic surgery can reduce lung collapse and breathing problems after surgery. About 60 adults having planned robotic abdominal or pelvic surgery will take part. Researchers will measure lung f…

This study looked at 70,000 adults who had surgery under general anesthesia to see if the drug used to reverse muscle relaxants affects the risk of being unable to urinate after surgery. Researchers compared two reversal drugs, sugammadex and neostigmine, and also checked how thi…

This study looks at how well the lungs are working in 10 adult patients who are on a heart-lung machine (VA ECMO) and a breathing tube. Researchers will use a special imaging technique and pressure measurements to find the best breathing machine settings. The goal is to improve o…

This study checks if a computer model called PRISM can accurately predict who might get pancreatic cancer by looking at electronic health records. Over 6 million adults aged 40 and older from 44 US health centers are included. The goal is to see if the model can identify high-ris…

This study was designed to see if a special training program using biofeedback could help older adults with chronic low back pain walk better. It planned to compare 20 older adults with back pain and 20 healthy older adults. However, the study was withdrawn before any participant…
