Study of a blood-filter treatment for FSGS not responding to meds
This study looks at how well a specialized blood-filter device (the LIPOSORBER® LA-15) works for people with primary FSGS—especially when standard steroid and other medicines don’t work or can’t be tolerated. It may help reduce disease activity, particularly in people with kidney function that is still moderate or in those after kidney transplant.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges Up to 75 years - NCT04451278Recruiting
Brain scan study to predict outcomes after epilepsy surgery in kids
This trial uses resting-state brain MRI (a scan while you’re not doing a task) to help predict how well children with hard-to-treat epilepsy may do after surgery. If you qualify, you would help researchers see whether the scan can forecast prognosis.
Paris, PARISAges 6–18 - NCT04798131Recruiting
Brain-scan training to reduce medication-resistant voices
This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
LilleAges 18–60 - NCT04923828Recruiting
Study drug resistance in very sick children with infections
This trial enrolls children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who have a severe infection. It aims to better understand germs and drug resistance so future treatments can be more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 month–16 years - NCT04977791Recruiting
Study how drug resistance develops in lung cancer immunotherapy
This study looks at lung tumor tissue and blood to understand why immune checkpoint drugs can stop working in non-small cell lung cancer. It may help researchers find better ways to predict and overcome drug resistance.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05135091RecruitingPhase 3
Cell therapy trial for hard-to-control one-sided temporal lobe epilepsy
This Phase 3 study tests a neural cell therapy (NRTX-1001) for adults whose seizures come from one side of the hippocampus and have not improved with standard seizure medicines. The goal is to reduce seizure frequency and improve seizure control where other treatments have not worked.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05339438Recruiting
Brain scan mapping before epilepsy surgery
This study uses a special MRI scan to map parts of the front-temporal brain in people with drug-resistant epilepsy who may need surgery. The goal is to better plan surgery by showing which brain areas are involved.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05393518Recruiting
Study linking brain signals to anxiety in people with epilepsy
This study looks at how brain electrical signals relate to anxiety symptoms in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It compares people who do (or do not) meet criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, to better understand anxiety in this setting.
BordeauxAges 18–65 - NCT05459090Recruiting
Study of how brain “brakes” work in drug-resistant temporal epilepsy
This study looks at how the brain’s natural “braking” system works in people with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. It may help researchers better understand the condition in order to improve future treatments.
Pozzilli, IserniaAges Any age - NCT05488340RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for hard-to-treat bladder infection in women
This Phase 2 trial tests LBP-EC01 to treat a bladder infection (UTI) caused by drug-resistant E. coli. It may help by targeting the specific bacteria that make UTIs harder to cure with common antibiotics.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05527093Recruiting
Brain-scan study mapping social thinking changes in epilepsy
This study uses special thinking and brain-scanning tests to understand how “social thinking” may change in people with certain types of epilepsy. You might benefit by having a detailed evaluation during your planned pre-surgery workup.
Gif-sur-YvetteAges 18–65 - NCT05534672RecruitingPhase 3
Rapamycin for drug-resistant seizures in tuberous sclerosis
This trial tests whether rapamycin (compared with a placebo) can reduce seizures caused by tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) that have not been controlled by usual medicines. If you qualify, you may be helping doctors find a safer and more effective option for seizure control.
