-
Rapid syphilis testing at family planning visits in Hawai‘i
This study checks if a quick fingerstick syphilis test done during a family planning visit is practical and acceptable for patients.
-
At-home STI self-swab testing offered with telemedicine medication abortion
This project will try offering at-home self-collected vaginal swab tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas to people getting medication abortion by telemedicine in Hawai'i to see if patients use and accept it.
-
Vapocoolant Spray to Reduce Pain During Nexplanon Insertion
This will test whether Pain Ease vapocoolant spray can reduce the pain of the lidocaine shot when getting a Nexplanon implant.
-
Effects of a lactic acid gel on vaginal health
This study is testing if the contraceptive Phexxi can improve vaginal health by increasing good bacteria and reducing discomfort for women.
-
Evaluating biomarkers for predicting treatment response in liver cancer
This study is testing if special imaging and blood tests can help predict how well people with inoperable liver cancer will respond to a new type of treatment.
NIH-funded research (4)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Improving health equity for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
This study is working to make healthcare fairer for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders by listening to their needs and helping them take part in health research and clinical trials.
-
Exploring how cannabis compounds can reduce pain and inflammation.
This study is looking at how certain compounds from cannabis might help reduce pain and inflammation for people with chronic pain from conditions like injuries, nerve issues, cancer, or autoimmune diseases, offering a potential alternative to opioids for pain relief.
-
Using tumor signals to predict treatment response in liver cancer
This project uses PET/CT scans and a blood 'liquid biopsy' to find people with hepatocellular (liver) cancer whose tumors are driven by beta‑catenin and may not respond to immunotherapy.
-
Understanding how beta-catenin affects treatment responses in liver cancer
This study is looking at how a specific protein called beta-catenin affects liver cancer treatment and aims to find out which patients might respond best to a type of immunotherapy, so they can get the most benefit with fewer side effects.
