Study how acid reflux may affect lung scarring
This trial studies whether reflux (acid moving up toward the throat) plays a role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred. It may help doctors understand triggers that could worsen symptoms and guide more targeted care.
Denver, ColoradoAges 40–95 - NCT03418857RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Probiotics for weight- and blood-sugar–related gut health
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can improve gut health in people with early metabolic problems related to extra body fat, cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar. It’s a Phase 1/2 study, meaning safety and early effectiveness are being tested.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 55–75 - NCT03439228Recruiting
Testing brace use after low back fusion surgery
This pilot study looks at whether wearing a brace helps after single-level low back fusion surgery. You may be offered screening if you’re healing from a specific type of fusion and don’t have certain risk factors.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT03452202Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke
This trial studies whether gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech after a stroke. It focuses on people with stroke-related apraxia of speech while carefully checking hearing, brain function, and safety with devices or metal.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT03463954Recruiting
Laser treatment trial for small breast tumors
This trial tests a focused laser treatment (Novilase®) to destroy small, cancerous breast tumors while aiming to work with standard care. It may help people who have an early, localized tumor that can be clearly seen on imaging so doctors can guide the laser safely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03471403Recruiting
Cold snare removal for duodenal growths in FAP
This trial studies removing small growths in the duodenum (a part of the small intestine) in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) using a “cold snare” technique. It may help reduce the need for more intensive treatment and make follow-up care safer, but you must meet specific safety and readiness requirements.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18–99 - NCT03491761RecruitingPhase 2
PRP injection versus hyaluronic acid shots for knee arthritis
This trial tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shot works better than a standard hyaluronic acid (“gel”) injection to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain. It may help people with ongoing knee pain choose the treatment that relieves symptoms more effectively.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT03497637Recruiting
Compare two ways to measure artery narrowing during heart procedures
