After a kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant, the body may attack the new organ, a problem called acute T cell mediated rejection. Doctors use strong steroids to treat this, but the best dose is unknown, and too much can cause serious side effects. This study will test different …

This study tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for people with stage 3 lung cancer. The method uses CT ventilation imaging to identify and avoid the healthiest parts of the lungs. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients maintain a better quality of life and …

This study tests three home-based programs for people with long-term muscle or joint pain (like back pain or arthritis) who also sleep poorly. Participants will be randomly assigned to exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or both, with online coaching for 12 month…

This study is developing an AI method to track the movement of tumors and nearby organs during radiation therapy without using physical markers. Researchers will use data from 300 patients receiving radiation for various cancers or heart arrhythmias to train and test the system. …

This study tests a new type of CT scan (real-time gated 4DCT) to see if it can produce clearer images for planning lung cancer radiation therapy. About 30 adults with lung cancer will receive one extra scan before or after their standard planning scan. The goal is to reduce image…

This study tests whether special lung scans (like CT and X-ray videos) can help doctors avoid damaging healthy lung tissue during radiation therapy for lung cancer. About 15 adults with stage II-IV lung cancer will get extra scans before and after their standard treatment. The go…

This study tests whether a special CT scan that shows how different parts of the lung work can better predict lung function after lung cancer surgery compared to the usual method. Fifteen adults scheduled for lung cancer surgery will get both the standard and new scans before the…

This study tests a new X-ray technology that aims to track lung tumors during radiation treatment without needing to implant markers in the lung. About 30 people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases will participate. The goal is to see if the markerless trackin…

This study looks at whether special software (KIM) can detect contrast agents in liver cancer patients during radiation therapy. Researchers will review images from 50 patients who received a type of radiation after a procedure that delivers contrast agents to the liver. The goal…
