This study looks at people with weakened immune systems who have a lung infection called PCP and cannot take the standard antibiotic. Researchers will compare different alternative treatments to see which one works best and has the fewest side effects. About 416 adults will take …

This study tests a new approach to peanut allergy treatment called oral immunotherapy (OIT), where people eat tiny, increasing amounts of peanut protein to build tolerance. It compares standard peanuts to 'autoclaved' peanuts (heated under high pressure to change their proteins) …

This study looks at how long adults with severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (a serious lung infection) should take steroids. People who get better quickly (no longer need oxygen by day 10) will either stop steroids then or continue for 21 days. The goal is to see if stopping earlier r…

This study tests whether two supplements, HMB and 2-HOBA, taken alone or together, can improve muscle strength, physical function, and overall health in adults aged 65 and older. Over 90 days, 120 participants will take one of the supplements or a placebo and undergo tests like m…

This study looks at whether a high-resolution ultrasound technique, called micro-ultrasound, can find aggressive prostate cancers that standard MRI scans might miss. About 90 men with low-risk prostate cancer or those on active surveillance will get a micro-ultrasound exam. If su…

This study will test a new wireless acoustic sensor that listens to airflow and chest movements to detect breathing problems in extremely preterm infants (born before 29 weeks). The sensor aims to be more accurate than current monitoring methods. Researchers will compare its perf…

This study looks at whether parents can record their premature baby's movements at home as accurately as doctors can in the hospital. About 100 families of babies born before 29 weeks will take part. If home videos work well, it could make early diagnosis of cerebral palsy easier…

This study looks at how five common tuberculosis drugs move through the body and into breast milk in healthy breastfeeding women. Sixty women will each receive a single dose of one drug, and researchers will measure drug levels in their blood and milk. The goal is to gather safet…

This study will follow 500 women undergoing IVF to measure their FSH levels during ovarian stimulation. Researchers want to see if these levels are linked to how many eggs are retrieved, embryo quality, and pregnancy success. The goal is to learn whether monitoring FSH during tre…

This study tests whether a specially trained physical therapist can accurately diagnose jaw disorders, potentially allowing patients to get faster care without always seeing a surgeon first. About 70 adults with jaw pain will be evaluated by both a physical therapist and a surgeo…

This study aims to find the smallest amount of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) needed to successfully block nerves in the arm for surgery or pain relief. Researchers will test different doses in 60 adults aged 18-70 with a healthy weight. The goal is to use the least medication po…

This study looks at whether having a tattoo affects the success of fertility treatments like IVF. Researchers will compare pregnancy rates in women with and without tattoos after embryo transfer. The goal is to see if tattoo size, location, or ink color plays a role. About 328 wo…
