This study tests two ways to help teens with HIV stay in care and keep the virus under control. About 570 teens aged 15-19 in South Africa will get either in-person or virtual support as they move to adult care. The goal is to see which method works better for keeping clinic visi…

This study is for people with HPV-positive throat cancer, a type that usually responds well to treatment. After robotic surgery to remove the tumor, participants receive a lower dose of radiation than the standard amount. The goal is to see if this gentler approach can still cont…

This early-phase trial tests a drug called isatuximab in 11 people with a rare, high-risk blood disease called AL amyloidosis. The goal is to see if a slower, gentler treatment approach can control the disease with fewer side effects. Isatuximab is an antibody that helps stop abn…

This study tests adding propranolol, a blood pressure drug, to standard immunotherapy for people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps control the cancer. Only 6 adults took part, and the study is no longer recruitin…

This study gives 30 healthy adults a single dose of the Ebola vaccine and then takes blood, lymph node, and bone marrow samples over time. The goal is to measure how long the body's immune system remembers the vaccine. It helps scientists understand the duration of protection aga…

This study looks at how hormone therapy for prostate cancer affects the heart. Researchers will compare three treatment groups: radiation alone, radiation with leuprolide, and radiation with relugolix. The goal is to understand why some men develop heart problems and find ways to…

This study looks at how anemia (low red blood cells) and blood transfusions affect oxygen levels in the digestive tract of extremely low birth weight babies (≤1250 grams). Researchers will monitor oxygen in the gut and analyze blood, urine, and stool to find clues that might pred…

This study looks at 12 African American adults with a severe form of diabetes called ketosis-prone diabetes. Researchers track daily blood sugar changes as patients go into remission and use that data to build a computer model that describes the process. The goal is to better und…
