This study tests a new drug (HCB101) combined with an existing immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. About 50 adults will receive weekly infusions of HCB101 plus pembrolizumab every three week…

This study tests whether statin therapy and vitamin D supplements can help control active thyroid eye disease, a condition that causes eye bulging and discomfort. About 120 adults with active disease will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: standard care alone, statin plu…

This study tests a new treatment for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis) and has stopped responding to the drug osimertinib. The treatment combin…

This study tests whether focused ultrasound can safely reduce seizures in 20 adults whose epilepsy does not respond to medication. Participants receive ultrasound waves to specific brain areas, and researchers monitor seizure frequency, brain activity, and side effects. The goal …

This study tests a non-invasive light therapy called transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) on the forehead to help people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers will compare two different light frequencies (10 Hz and 40 Hz) to see which works better for easing symptoms…

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique (deep TMS) can reduce obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. 96 adults with OCD will be randomly assigned to receive real or sham (fake) stimulation over 6 weeks. Researchers will also use brain s…

This study tests a 6-week program combining bright light exposure with specific exercises to improve sleep, mood, and quality of life in people with lung or esophageal cancer. Researchers will track 200 participants' sleep patterns, symptoms, and survival rates for one year. The …

This study is testing a smartphone app powered by artificial intelligence to help people with oral cancer return to work and manage physical and emotional challenges. Researchers will compare 650 patients who use the app with those who receive standard care. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing whether a special type of PET/MR scan, using a tracer called fluorocholine, can predict the molecular subtype and likely outcome of breast cancer before treatment. Researchers will scan 195 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and compare the images to t…

This study follows 200 adults with advanced cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. Researchers want to understand their physical and emotional distress, financial burden, and care needs over one year. The goal is to create a tool that can predict who is at high risk for severe s…

This study is testing whether a camera can accurately measure heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels without touching the patient during surgery. About 315 adults having gallbladder, liver, or hernia surgery will participate. The goal is to see if this non-contact method w…

This study tests whether electronic stethoscopes can accurately monitor breathing in 30 adults during surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to help anesthesiologists detect breathing problems early, like airway blockages or low breathing, to make surgery safer. Participan…

This early-stage trial aims to see if a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation, is safe for healthy adults aged 20 to 65. Participants will receive either real or sham stimulation to different brain areas over 10 days, with cognitive …
