This early-phase trial tests whether a gene-edited pig liver, used outside the body like a dialysis machine, can temporarily support liver function in a single person with severe liver failure. The goal is to keep the patient stable until a human liver transplant becomes availabl…

This study looks at whether women with triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer who have a complete response to chemotherapy can safely skip sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). SLNB can cause side effects like arm swelling and pain. The trial will track if skipping it leads …

This study looks at two ways to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes: drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents. Researchers want to see which one works better over time. About 1,500 diabetic patients who had a heart procedure will be followed for years to compa…

This study looks at whether a urine test for a genetic marker called SIX6 can predict if low-risk bladder cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will compare SIX6 levels in 177 patients who had their tumor removed. The goal is to help doctors decide who truly needs foll…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at genetic material (RNA) from tiny particles in the blood (exosomes) to diagnose prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this test is more accurate than current methods, potentially reducing the need for invasive biopsies. The stu…

This study tests whether stimulating specific points on the hands (called Jing-Well points) can help people with disorders of consciousness after severe brain injury. Researchers will compare different stimulation methods in 60 patients to see which works best for improving aware…

This study looks at whether heart rate variability (how your heart rate changes) can help predict if people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will respond to biologic therapy. About 100 adults starting infliximab or vedolizumab will wear a heart monitor and a sleep tracker fo…
