Boosting glutathione with a supplement in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a supplement called gamma-glutamylcysteine can increase levels of a natural antioxidant called glutathione in the brain of people with Parkinson's. If you are between 50 and 80 and have mild cognitive symptoms, this trial may help researchers understand a new way to support brain health.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT07064122RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an IRAK4 blocker for blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called AZD2962 for people with certain blood cancers (MDS or CMML) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The drug blocks a protein called IRAK4, which may help stop cancer growth.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–110 - NCT07064226Recruiting
Digital cognitive rehab for older adults
This trial tests a digital program designed to help improve cognitive skills in older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. The program may help strengthen attention, memory, and problem-solving abilities.
MilanAges 65 years+ - NCT07064421Recruiting
Brain wave test for kids with hard-to-control seizures
This trial uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography) to look at brain activity in children whose seizures don't improve with medication. It may help doctors decide if surgery could be an option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–18 - NCT07064798Recruiting
Cooling gloves and socks for nerve pain from chemo
This trial tests if wearing special cooling gloves and socks during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet. It is for people with breast or gynecologic cancer who are starting certain types of chemo that can cause these side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07065409RecruitingPhase 1
Exosomes for Moyamoya disease treatment trial
This trial tests whether exosomes made from special stem cells can help people with Moyamoya disease who still have symptoms after surgery. It aims to improve blood flow to the brain and reduce future strokes.

Nimodipine variability in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
This study looks at how nimodipine, a medicine used to prevent blood vessel spasms after a brain bleed, works in people with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It aims to better understand how the drug behaves in your body, which could help improve treatment.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–85 - NCT07066358Recruiting
