This trial asks whether giving COPD medication through a nebulizer works better than a dry powder inhaler. It enrolls adults over 40 with COPD symptoms and significant air trapping. Participants receive either a nebulizer or inhaler treatment, and researchers compare changes in l…

This Phase 1 trial is testing a new radioactive tracer called 99mTc-p5+14 to see how it spreads through the body and how much radiation it delivers. The study includes healthy volunteers and people with AL or ATTR systemic amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal protein deposits …

This pilot study tests a program called Planning Together for pregnant women and their partners. The program teaches couples about birth control options and how to communicate about family planning. Researchers want to see if it is feasible and acceptable for economically margina…

This study tests whether using shockwave therapy on the leg artery before a TAVR heart valve procedure can reduce bleeding and other complications. It involves 100 adults with severe aortic stenosis and heavily calcified arteries. The goal is to make the procedure safer by prepar…

This study tests whether a special exercise program using blood flow restriction cuffs can improve walking ability and quality of life in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). About 81 adults with stable leg pain from PAD will do low-intensity calf raises while wearing c…

This study tests whether using spinal morphine or other nerve blocks instead of standard opioid painkillers can help patients start chemotherapy sooner after cancer surgery. 200 adults having open surgery for stomach, liver, pancreas, or colorectal cancer will be randomly assigne…

This study investigates whether measuring whole-body metabolism—how the body uses energy—can reflect the metabolic changes in ovarian tumors and predict how well patients respond to chemotherapy. Researchers will measure resting metabolic rate and other metabolic markers in women…

This study looks at how a pregnant person's metabolism—specifically insulin resistance and fat burning—may be linked to placenta health and pregnancy complications like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Researchers will follow 50 pregnant women at high or moderate risk for p…

This study looks at how pregnant women at risk for preeclampsia process aspirin and how that relates to signs of metabolic problems. Researchers will measure aspirin byproducts in blood and urine, along with other health markers, in 50 women. The goal is to better understand why …
