How bariatric surgery changes liver metabolism in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects how your liver processes nutrients in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body after surgery and whether that could guide better future care.
HelsinkiAges 18–75 - NCT05582993RecruitingPhase 3
Study of rVWF for severe bleeding disorder in children
This Phase 3 trial tests vonicog alfa (an rVWF treatment) to prevent and control bleeding in children with severe von Willebrand disease (vWD). You may be able to join if your child has severe vWD and has been on prior clotting factor treatment with ongoing bleeding despite that care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 17 years - NCT04752293Recruiting
Study of a kidney blood-pressure system in kids
This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 7–18 - NCT05183074Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer way to plan and deliver radiation for prostate cancer using real-time MRI guidance. It may help by aiming high-dose treatment precisely while treating nearby disease and (in some cases) limited metastatic spots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04166526Recruiting
Brain and brain-vessel MRI study in kids with sickle cell
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain and blood vessels are affected in children with sickle cell disease, including before and after certain treatments. It also includes healthy children for comparison and may help improve future monitoring and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–18 - NCT05531786RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pacritinib for hard-to-treat chronic graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase study tests pacritinib, a targeted medicine, for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn’t improved after prior treatments. If you qualify, the goal is to reduce cGVHD symptoms and improve how well you function after a stem cell transplant.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–120 - NCT05511363RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new medicine for psychosis in Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests a new drug called KarXT to see if it can safely reduce hallucinations and delusions in people with Alzheimer's disease. If you or a loved one has Alzheimer's and experiences these symptoms, this study might offer a new treatment option.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 55–90 - NCT05539196Recruiting
Registry for Exablate treatment in Parkinson’s with medication problems
This trial is a real-world registry that follows people with Parkinson’s who are planning to get an Exablate 4000 procedure (a focused ultrasound treatment) for one-sided symptoms that are difficult to control with medication. It mainly checks outcomes and safety over time, helping doctors understand how well this treatment works in everyday care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–99 - NCT05509777RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab for children with active Crohn’s disease
This study tests mirikizumab to reduce inflammation and symptoms in children with Crohn’s disease that is currently active. It may help if your Crohn’s has not improved enough (or stopped working) with at least one other Crohn’s medicine.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–17 - NCT05504902Enrolling by invitation
Device training for advanced Parkinson’s using touch feedback
This study tests whether coordinated touch (vibrotactile) training can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s. You may be asked to use a special device and attend virtual check-ins, with some visits requiring stopping Parkinson’s meds for short periods.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05505500Recruiting
Parent and patient interviews for childhood kidney swelling
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
