Smoking quit coaching plus lung scans for people with HIV
This study tests a behavior-change program to help people with HIV quit smoking, along with routine low-dose lung CT scans to find warning signs early. It’s a feasibility study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach is practical and acceptable, and if people can follow through.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 45–80 - NCT05026749RecruitingPhase 3
Azithromycin for severe RSV breathing failure in young children
This trial tests whether azithromycin (an antibiotic) can improve outcomes for babies and young children in the ICU who have RSV causing serious breathing problems. It mainly looks at children who start strong breathing support soon after RSV symptoms begin.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 3 days–2 years - NCT05421741RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic-coated nail to help prevent infection
This trial studies a special nail for certain broken shin bones to lower the chance of infection after surgery. If you qualify, the study team will help you receive the antibiotic-coated nail and will follow you closely for about a year.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05711667RecruitingPhase 3
Letermovir to prevent CMV after stem cell transplant in kids
This trial tests whether the medicine letermovir can prevent a common virus (CMV) from coming back after an allogeneic stem cell transplant in children. It may help lower the risk of CMV infection during the vulnerable period right after transplant.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–18 - NCT05761197Recruiting
Study of mouth yeast infection and a preventive treatment
This trial studies children ages 9–15 months and looks at oropharyngeal yeast infection in the mouth (often called “OPC”). It may help researchers understand how to prevent or manage this condition.

What taking part in a infections study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
