This study looks at whether people with multiple myeloma who have achieved a very deep remission (called MRD-negative) and have been on maintenance therapy for at least two years can stop that therapy without their cancer coming back. Researchers will follow 70 participants for u…

This study aims to diagnose cerebral palsy (CP) earlier in babies who are at high risk, such as those born prematurely or with brain injuries. Researchers will use brain scans, sleep tests, and blood markers to predict which infants will develop CP and other developmental issues.…

This study aims to find the normal levels of certain brain proteins in healthy full-term newborns. Researchers will collect blood samples from 150 babies to create a reference range. This will help doctors better detect brain injuries and developmental disorders early in life.

This study looks at bacteria living in breast tumors to see if they can help predict how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy work in people with early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Researchers will collect tissue samples before and after treatment from 30 participants. The…
