Pneumonia germs, inflammation, and recovery
This study looks at how certain parts of the bacteria that cause pneumonia (called virulence factors) and your body's natural inflammation markers are related to how well you recover. The goal is to learn more about what affects pneumonia outcomes, which could help doctors personalize treatment.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT07013370Recruiting
Preventing CMV in Children After Stem Cell Transplant
This trial tests whether a special antibody treatment (CMV-specific immunoglobulin) can prevent CMV infections in children who have had a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may help protect your child’s immune system during recovery.
TriesteAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07005726Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
BCG revaccination with DTP3 to reduce infant deaths in Africa
This study tests whether giving another BCG vaccine (the one for tuberculosis) at the same time as the third DTP shot can help reduce serious infections and deaths in babies in Africa. If your baby is healthy and getting their routine DTP3, this could be an option to possibly boost their overall protection.
BissauAges 3 months–6 months - NCT07011381Enrolling by invitation
Parent views on children's oral health: refugees vs Egyptians
This study looks at how parents view their child's oral health (teeth and mouth) and how it affects daily life. It compares views of Sudanese refugee parents and Egyptian parents living in Cairo.

CytoGam for CMV in solid organ transplant recipients
This trial tests whether adding CytoGam (an antibody treatment) to standard antiviral therapy can better treat CMV (a common virus) in people who have received a solid organ transplant. It may help those with high virus levels or a new infection after transplant.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - NCT07008755Recruiting
Inhaled interferon for hand, foot, and mouth disease in children
This trial tests whether breathing in a medication called pegylated interferon helps children with mild hand, foot, and mouth disease recover faster. It is for children ages 1 to 6 who have had symptoms like fever or rash for 3 days or less.
ChengduAges 1–6 - NCT07008092Recruiting
Using PGE-M to predict appendicitis in children
This trial checks if a substance called PGE-M found in urine can help predict acute appendicitis in children with belly pain. If it works, it could help doctors diagnose appendicitis faster and without needing a blood test or CT scan.
SplitAges 5–17 - NCT07010900Recruiting
Cord blood plasma injections plus stretching for Peyronie's disease
This study tests if injections of platelet-rich plasma from cord blood, combined with daily penis stretching, works better than stretching alone to treat Peyronie's disease (curved erections). It may help men with moderate to severe curvature who haven't had prior treatment.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06998264Recruiting
Immune response to flu in young children
This study looks at how children's immune systems fight the flu in the nose and throat. It aims to understand why some children get very sick and others don't, which could help create better treatments and vaccines.
GenevaAges 2–5 - NCT06309368RecruitingPhase 4
Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06998251Recruiting
Immune response to strep pneumonia in older adults
This study looks at how the immune system in the nose and throat reacts to Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria and viruses in adults aged 60-85. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat pneumonia.
GenevaAges 60–85 - NCT07001592RecruitingPhase 1
Injection of a modified virus for advanced GI and peritoneal cancers
This trial tests a modified virus injected directly into tumors to treat metastatic gastrointestinal and peritoneal cancers. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–69 - NCT06137664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New oral polio vaccine study for adults, children, and newborns
This trial tests new oral polio vaccines in healthy adults, children, and newborns. It aims to see if these vaccines are safe and help protect against polio.
DhakaAges birth–45 years - NCT07000110Recruiting
Anifrolumab and risk study for lupus patients
