• Effects of anifrolumab on arterial inflammation in SLE patients

  This study tests whether anifrolumab can reduce blood vessel inflammation in people with active systemic lupus erythematosus.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire · NCT07913919

• Gut methane and Parkinson's: measuring if a probiotic helps people with Parkinson's, REM sleep behavior disorder, or cognitive concerns

  This study tests whether a probiotic containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri can help people with Parkinson's disease, those at high risk for PD, and related cognitive issues by potentially improving gut methane levels and overall symptoms.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, CB2 · NCT07786116

• MNGIE Natural History Study

  Researchers are collecting anonymized patient information to see how MNGIE progresses over time and how it affects people living with the condition.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT07627217

• Deep brain stimulation to reduce drinking and craving in severe alcohol use disorder

  This trial will test whether deep brain stimulation can safely reduce drinking and cravings in adults with severe, treatment‑resistant alcohol use disorder.

  Recruiting at 2 sites University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire and 1 other locations · NCT07341230

• Ultrafast whole genome sequencing for children and young people with cancer

  This project tests whether ultrafast whole genome sequencing can give faster genetic diagnoses for children and young people under 25 with suspected or confirmed cancer.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT07201038

• Abdominal CT offered alongside lung screening for people who have smoked

  We will test whether mentioning a possible extra abdominal CT in the lung screening invitation changes whether people aged 55–70 who have ever smoked attend their lung screening appointment.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Hull · NCT07171190

• Early detection of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill children using microbial and immune signatures.

  This project will test whether combining microbial genomic data and a child's immune-response signals can detect ventilator-associated pneumonia earlier in critically ill children on mechanical ventilation.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT07026656

• Using closed-loop insulin delivery to achieve remission of type 2 diabetes

  This study tests if a new insulin delivery system, along with diet and lifestyle changes, can help adults with early type 2 diabetes go into remission and stop needing diabetes medications.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire · NCT06844539

• 18F-FET PET imaging for pituitary adenomas

  This pilot will test whether 18F-FET PET scans can detect pituitary adenomas as well as 11C-methionine PET scans in adults who previously had Met-PET.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire · NCT06584123

• Closed-loop insulin delivery for adults with type 2 diabetes

  This study is testing a new closed-loop insulin delivery system to see if it helps adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better than their usual insulin therapy.

  Recruiting at 5 sites University of Cambridge · Melbourne and 11 other locations · NCT06579404

• Examining brain changes in cancer-related weight loss

  This study is trying to see how cancer-related weight loss affects the brain's ability to control appetite and motivation by comparing people with cancer to healthy volunteers.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT06112964

• Evaluating improvisational music therapy for autistic children

  This study is testing if adding improvisational music therapy to regular care can help improve social communication skills in children with autism aged 7 to 11.

  Recruiting at 2 sites University of Cambridge · Cambridge and 1 other locations · NCT06016621

• Using advanced MRI techniques to differentiate between benign and malignant kidney masses

  This study is testing advanced MRI techniques to see if they can help doctors tell the difference between harmless and harmful kidney masses, so patients can avoid unnecessary surgeries.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire · NCT06016075

• Using light to study brain function in dementia

  This study is trying to see how light can help us understand changes in brain function for people with different types of dementia and healthy individuals.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT05460143

NIH-funded research (5)

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.

• How immune cells respond to tuberculosis bacteria

  Using zebrafish as a model, researchers are learning how immune signals like TNF and mTOR can cause tuberculosis lesions to break down or stay stable, with the goal of helping people with TB.

  NIH research University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom · NIH-11336317

• Predicting how A/H3N2 seasonal flu changes to escape immunity

  This project uses lab measurements and computer models to predict which changes in A/H3N2 flu might let the virus evade human immunity.

  NIH research University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom · NIH-11258991

• Understanding how seasonal influenza viruses change to evade the immune system

  This study is looking at how the flu virus changes to avoid our immune system, which could help create better vaccines for people by understanding why some flu strains stick around longer than others.

  NIH research University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom · NIH-11013307

• Understanding how cancer cells use extrachromosomal DNA to grow and resist treatment

  This study is looking at how special pieces of DNA called ecDNA help some cancers grow faster and resist treatment, with the hope of finding new ways to help patients with tough-to-treat tumors.

  NIH research University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom · NIH-10625637

• Understanding and treating cancer cachexia

  This study is looking into cancer cachexia, a tough condition that causes weight loss and muscle loss in many cancer patients, to understand how tumors affect the body's metabolism and find new ways to help improve patients' health and well-being.
