The Kidney's Response to Exercise in Heat, and the Impact of Vitamin B3 on This Response
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the processes occurring in the kidneys while under heat stress in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do the chemicals produced by the body change under conditions of higher versus lower heat stress? What role …
Genetics of Neonatal Encephalopathy and Related Disorders
Investigators at Boston Children's Hospital are conducting research in order to better understand the genetic factors which may contribute to neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and related disorders. These findings may help explain the broad spectrum of clinical features and outcomes seen in individuals with a history of NE.
Star Matrix vs Autogenous Graft for Gingival Augmentation: Split-Mouth RCT
This split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial will test whether a ready-to-use collagen membrane (Star Matrix) can widen the protective band of gum tissue (keratinized gingiva) as effectively as the standard free gingival graft harvested from the palate. Central question Can Star Matrix provide the same or better gain in keratinized …
Distance-Based Exercise to Preserve Function and Prevent Disability
This clinical trial studies whether an exercise program can be successfully delivered to patients receiving treatment for cancer through virtual sessions and allow patients to exercise in their own home. Treatments for cancer can cause side effects such as fatigue and loss of strength. These side effects can make it …
Advanced Imaging to Assess the Effect of Immunosuppression on Progressive Fibrosis
The purpose of this study is to investigate how immunosuppression treatment affects measurements of active collagen deposition using \[68Ga\]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and tissue injury using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in individuals with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD).
A Study of Brenipatide in Adult Participants With Schizophrenia
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of brenipatide when administered with standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC for treatment of schizophrenia. The trial is divided into three periods as follows: Screening period will last approximately 1 month, treatment period will last …
Piloting the Competence in Romance and Understanding Sexual Health Curriculum

CRUSH is a group-based behavioral intervention plus 1-1 coaching designed to provide sexual …
IntelliWell: An AI-Assisted Imaging Platform for Detection and Location of Ultra-Rare Testicular Sperm in Surgical Specimens
This study will help determine whether an AI-assisted microwell platform (IntelliWell) can identify rare sperm cells in testicular samples found to not have sperm by conventional analysis. Instead of discarding testicular tissue which was found to be non-sperm bearing by conventional analysis the testicular tissue will be processed using IntelliWell …
Identifying Oxytocin Deficiency in Pediatric Patients With Pituitary Disease
An open-labeled, interventional pilot trial, 10 youth with AVP-D and 10 PD matched for age, sex, and BMI will be recruited from Pediatric Endocrinology and Neuroendocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital and in the community. This study tests the hypothesis that oral estrogen/progestin will stimulate endogenous oxytocin release in control subjects. …
Rituximab Plus Venetoclax in Front Line Marginal Zone Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of rituximab and venetoclax is effective in treating participants with untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Venetoclax (a type of inhibitor) Rituximab (a type of antibody)
