Ultrasound for detecting food stuck in the esophagus
This trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound (an ultrasound done right where you are) can help doctors quickly find a food blockage in the esophagus. If you come to the ER with symptoms of something stuck in your throat, this study may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06507956Recruiting
Physical activity and sitting habits in adults with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how physically active and sedentary adults with cystic fibrosis are. It uses a device to measure your daily movement and asks you to fill out a few questionnaires. The goal is to better understand your activity patterns and find ways to help you stay healthy.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–65 - NCT06508190Recruiting
Walking exercise for sleep apnea and fatty liver
This trial tests whether a simple walking program can help people who have both obstructive sleep apnea and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If you have these conditions and a BMI under 35, you may be able to join a free exercise program to see if it improves your health.
GizaAges 40–65 - NCT06508307RecruitingPhase 1
A study of an injected virus for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment where a virus (GC001) is injected directly into a tumor. The virus is designed to attack cancer cells and may help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06508840Recruiting
