Researchers are testing a new technology called 'digital twins' to help prevent second strokes in patients with three rare brain conditions: moyamoya disease, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and previous stroke history. A digital twin is a computer model of a patient's brain that doctors can use to predict what treatments might work best for that individual. This study will randomly assign patients to either receive care guided by this digital twin technology or standard care, and compare which approach prevents more strokes.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers patients with moyamoya disease or cerebral amyloid angiopathy who have had a stroke access to personalized, AI-guided prevention strategies that could reduce their risk of future strokes.

Researchers at Columbia University are testing a new program called MyPEEPS Mobile Plus to help young men who have sex with men prevent HIV infection. The program uses multiple approaches, including mobile technology and community support, to reduce HIV risk. This trial is now accepting participants and will run through 2026.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is actively recruiting young MSM (men who have sex with men) ages 18-24 who want to learn evidence-based HIV prevention strategies through a mobile app and peer support program.

Researchers are looking for African American cancer survivors to join a study about genetic testing. The study will test a new approach designed specifically for African American communities to help more people get tested for inherited cancer genes. Genetic testing can show if someone has genes that increase cancer risk, which helps with prevention and treatment planning.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses a critical gap: African American cancer survivors are significantly underrepresented in genetic testing programs, meaning many miss opportunities for personalized cancer prevention and family screening.

Researchers at the University of Alberta are looking for participants for a study about preventing a serious lung infection called VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) in newborn babies. This infection happens when babies on breathing machines in the hospital develop pneumonia. The study will track cases across the country and test ways to stop this infection from happening.
WHY IT MATTERSIf your newborn is in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on a ventilator, this trial could help identify prevention strategies that reduce the risk of developing a serious secondary infection during their hospital stay.
