InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT04606849Recruiting
Pilot ePNa tool for pneumonia decisions in urgent care
This trial tests and rolls out an electronic support tool (ePNa) to help urgent care clinicians decide how to evaluate and manage pneumonia. It may help by standardizing decision-making so patients get more consistent care.
American Fork, UtahAges 12 years+ - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT04858412Recruiting
Amino acid supplement to help people with COVID-19 and alcohol liver disease
This study tests whether an HMB-enriched amino acid supplement can improve outcomes in adults who have COVID-19 pneumonia, especially those with alcohol-related liver disease. The trial compares results in people with alcohol liver disease versus those without, to see if the supplement helps during recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT05041140Recruiting
Xenon MRI test for lung problems after stem cell transplant
This study uses a special MRI test with xenon gas to look at lung function in adults who had a stem cell transplant and now have breathing-related complications. It may help doctors measure lung impairment more clearly and track changes over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05164744Recruiting
MRI study of heart tissue changes after COVID-19
This study uses a heart MRI to look for leftover (healing) changes in heart tissue after COVID-19. It may help researchers better understand what ongoing heart effects can happen after infection.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05183854RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine study for CLL patients to prevent pneumococcal infections
This trial tests a series of two pneumococcal vaccines (PCV20 and PPSV23) in people with CLL-related immune weakness. It aims to see how well the vaccines work and how safe they are for preventing serious lung infections.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05336851Recruiting
Emergency breathing test study for sudden lung infections
This trial tests an emergency breathing-related approach for adults with a sudden, community-acquired respiratory infection. It may help doctors quickly sort out what’s going on and guide early care.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT05360914Recruiting
Hospital care at home for older adults with acute illnesses
This trial tests whether it is safe and helpful to manage certain sudden (acute) infections and medical problems with hospital-level care delivered at home or in a nursing home. It may help you avoid unnecessary hospital stays while still getting close medical follow-up.
SilkeborgAges 65 years+ - NCT05365802RecruitingEarly Phase 1
