This study is creating a detailed registry to track 100 patients with advanced salivary gland cancer. The goal is to see how well patients tolerate and respond to a standard treatment that combines radiation and chemotherapy after their tumor is surgically removed. Researchers wi…

This study is testing if a time-saving workout using whole-body muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) can help lower resting blood pressure and improve other heart health markers. It will involve 42 adults aged 50+ who have mild high blood pressure and are overweight. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing if combining immunotherapy drugs (called PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) with targeted radiation is more effective for controlling several advanced cancers, including lung and head/neck cancers. It aims to help patients live longer and also tries to find patterns in …

This study is testing if a procedure called renal denervation is safe and can lower blood pressure in a small group of dialysis patients with severe, treatment-resistant high blood pressure. The procedure uses ultrasound to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, which are thought…

This study is testing whether doctors can safely reduce the amount of radiation given to head and neck cancer patients after surgery. The goal is to lower long-term side effects, like difficulty swallowing, without increasing the risk of the cancer coming back. About 500 patients…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique to see inside the tiny blood vessels of the kidney. The goal is to see if this method can provide detailed pictures of kidney damage in people with signs of kidney inflammation, like protein in their urine. If…

This study is testing two new, non-invasive imaging techniques to monitor the health of a transplanted kidney. The goal is to see if these scans can provide the same information as a standard, invasive kidney biopsy, which carries risks like bleeding. Researchers will enroll 10 a…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique to see tiny blood vessels and structures inside the kidneys of babies and young children born with urinary tract problems (CAKUT). The goal is to see if this method can provide a clearer, more detailed picture…

This study is testing whether a special stationary bicycle that provides gentle, unexpected shakes can improve the cycling skills of older adults. Researchers want to see if 20 short training sessions on this 'perturbation' bike help people aged 65 and over navigate a real-world …

This study aims to find out which type of exercise program works better for people undergoing cancer treatment. It will compare traditional flexi band resistance training to different programs using whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS). Researchers will measure effec…

This study aims to learn how the body's immune system interacts with rare salivary gland tumors. Researchers will collect tumor tissue, blood, saliva, and stool samples from 300 people—some with cancer, some with benign tumors, and some without tumors—to analyze their immune mark…

This study is testing a new, detailed ultrasound technique to detect early signs of kidney damage in children and teens who have survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to find this damage earlier than current tests can, potentially before symptoms like protein i…

This study aims to find immune system markers in blood, saliva, and stool that can predict how well a different chemotherapy drug works for head and neck cancer patients who cannot take the standard drug. Researchers will analyze samples from 250 patients receiving chemoradiother…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive eye scan to see if it can reliably measure tiny blood vessels in the retina. Researchers want to compare these measurements between people with heart disease and healthy individuals. The goal is to learn if this scan could one day help do…

This study aims to gather information on rare blood cancers in children and adolescents. It will enroll up to 500 young patients in Germany to create a national registry and biobank. The goal is to better understand how these diseases affect young people, which can help improve f…

This study aims to understand how the immune system changes in prostate cancer patients receiving brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation treatment). Researchers will track immune cells and other markers in blood and tissue samples taken before, during, and after treatment. T…
