Switching to brelovitug for chronic hepatitis D patients on bulevirtide
This trial tests if switching from bulevirtide to brelovitug can help people with chronic hepatitis D (CHD). It is for adults who have been on bulevirtide for at least 6 months and still have detectable virus.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06580210Recruiting
Seawater spray with essential oils for stuffy nose
This trial tests a seawater and essential oil spray to clear a stuffy nose caused by a cold, sinus infection or allergies. The spray is meant to help you breathe easier without strong medicines.
BayeuxAges 12 years+ - NCT01419561RecruitingPhase 2
Studying KSHV inflammatory syndrome (KICS)
This study tracks people with KICS, a condition caused by KSHV (a virus related to Kaposi sarcoma). It aims to understand the syndrome better and may lead to future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07215273RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new antifungal for mold infections in immunocompromised people
This study tests a new antifungal drug (EL219) compared to two standard treatments (liposomal amphotericin B or voriconazole) for people with weakened immune systems who have a suspected or confirmed mold infection. The goal is to see if the new drug works as well or better at treating the infection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00006518Recruiting
Tissue samples from people with viral infections or cancer
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07376889RecruitingPhase 4
Combination antibiotics for blood staph infection
This study tests different combinations of antibiotics to treat a staph infection in the blood. If you're in an Intermountain hospital with this infection, the trial may help doctors find the most effective treatment for you.
Brighton, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03738410Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help women with HIV stay on track
This trial tests an mHealth (phone-based) program to help women with HIV improve health outcomes. It targets people who have had recent challenges with clinic visits, detectable virus levels, or taking HIV medicines.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07601074RecruitingPhase 2
Testing DARE-HPV to Clear Persistent HPV Infection
This study tests whether DARE-HPV, a new treatment, can help your body clear a persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection that hasn't gone away on its own. HPV is a common virus; persistent infection with certain high-risk types can lead to cervical cancer, so clearing it early may prevent future problems.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–50 - NCT07743580RecruitingPhase 3
Secutrelvir for covid-19 patients at high risk
This trial tests a new antiviral pill, secutrelvir, for people with mild to moderate covid-19 who are at higher risk of getting seriously ill. It aims to see if the drug can prevent hospitalization or severe disease.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 12 years+ - NCT07781501Recruiting
Study of long-term effects of covid-19
This study looks at the long-term effects of COVID-19, sometimes called Long COVID. By studying saliva and health info, researchers hope to understand why some people have lasting symptoms.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07783074Recruiting
Fatigue study using digital outcomes in multiple sclerosis and long COVID
This study is investigating fatigue using digital outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis, long COVID, and healthy volunteers. Participants must own a smartphone, be fluent in German or English, and be willing to provide informed consent.
