This study compares a new monitoring strategy using stool biomarkers against standard care for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) who are in remission. About 240 adults will be randomly assigned to either have their treatment adjusted based on stool test results or follow usual …

This study looks at a new, less invasive method to treat aneurysms in arteries that supply the stomach, liver, and spleen. Instead of traditional X-ray-guided surgery, doctors will use an endoscope with ultrasound to guide tiny coils and glue into the aneurysm to block it. The go…

This study tests a new procedure using an endoscopic ultrasound to guide the injection of materials that block part of the spleen's blood supply. The goal is to lower the risk of life-threatening bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach and esophagus in people with liver cirrh…

This study looks at whether a special 5-day low-calorie diet, called a fasting-mimicking diet, can make standard first-line cancer drugs work better for people with advanced kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. About 43 adults will receive the diet along with the d…

This study tests a combination of three drugs (disitamab vedotin, iparomlimab, and tuvonralimab) in 33 women with HER2-expressing cervical cancer that has returned after first-line treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression. Par…

This study looks at whether taking proton pump inhibitors (acid-reducing drugs) after endoscopic drainage for pancreatic walled-off necrosis changes how many additional procedures are needed. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to receive PPI or no PPI after their initial …

This study tests whether using a heart pump (IABP) early can improve survival in people who develop a hole in the heart wall after a heart attack. The trial will include 100 adults with early signs of shock. Researchers will compare 30-day death rates between those who get the pu…

This early study tests a new treatment called Plasma-Activated Saline Solution (PASS) for bladder cancer. Five patients will receive a one-week course of PASS infused directly into the bladder before their scheduled surgery. The goal is to see if the treatment safely shrinks tumo…

This study tests a new drug combination (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, called QL1706) plus chemotherapy (XELOX) given before surgery to people with stage III colon cancer that is MSS/pMMR. The goal is to see if this treatment can completely eliminate the tumor by the time of surg…

This study tests two drugs, Vedisertib and toripalimab, given together to people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to shrink or eliminate the tumor so the bladder can be saved. About 59 participants will receive the drugs in cycles, and doctors will check if the ca…

This study looks at whether dapagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, can improve heart muscle function in people hospitalized with acute heart failure. About 188 adults will take the drug or not for three months, and doctors will use special ultrasound imaging to measure changes …

This study looks at whether using two types of heart scans together (coronary CTA and CT-FFR) helps doctors make better decisions for people with chest pain who are at moderate risk. About 2,000 participants will be randomly assigned to get either the new scan approach or standar…

This study aims to see if a simple breath test can help doctors quickly tell which chest pain patients are at high risk for a heart attack or other serious condition. Researchers will collect breath samples from 6,000 adults coming to the emergency room with chest pain and analyz…

This study is testing a new artificial intelligence system designed to help doctors diagnose pancreatic cysts during ultrasound exams. The AI tool analyzes ultrasound images to determine whether cysts are benign or potentially cancerous. Researchers will compare the AI's accuracy…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors stop bleeding more quickly during a minimally invasive surgery called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), used for early digestive tract cancer. About 160 adults will be randomly assigned to have…

This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment called transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) for children with ADHD. The treatment uses light on the head to try to improve brain function. Researchers will enroll 54 children aged 6 to 18 to see if this light therapy can reduce ADH…

This study looks at whether a special exercise program (phase I cardiac rehabilitation) can improve muscle strength and reduce inflammation in elderly people who have both heart disease and muscle loss (sarcopenia). About 100 participants will either get the rehab program plus st…

This study compares stimulating both sides of the lower spine versus just one side to treat neurogenic bladder, a condition where nerve damage causes bladder control problems. About 29 adults with incomplete nerve injuries will be randomly assigned to one of the two approaches. T…

This study looks at whether rechargeable sacral neuromodulation devices cost less than non-rechargeable ones for people with bladder problems caused by nerve damage. Researchers will track expenses for 268 patients who have not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to he…

This study will collect blood samples from 3 children with Williams syndrome and 3 healthy children to create stem cells in the lab. These stem cells will be turned into brain cells to study how the brain develops differently in Williams syndrome. The goal is to understand the di…

This study tests whether an AI system can improve how doctors score gastric intestinal metaplasia, a stomach condition that can lead to cancer. Eight endoscopists will watch videos of stomach exams, some with AI help and some without, to see if AI boosts accuracy. The goal is to …

This study looks at how different altitudes (from 500 to 3000 meters) affect people's ability to judge time intervals, like seconds or minutes. Healthy adults aged 18-50 will sit in a special chamber that simulates high altitude and perform timing tasks. Researchers will also tra…

This study looks at children aged 3 to 12 with Williams syndrome, autism, or typical development to understand why their social and thinking skills differ. Researchers will use brain scans and developmental tests to compare groups. No new treatment is being tested—the goal is to …
