New heat-free treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms
This study tests a new device that uses electrical pulses to treat an enlarged prostate without surgery or heat. It aims to relieve urinary symptoms like weak flow and frequent urination, and may be an option if you have moderate to severe symptoms.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 45 years+ - NCT03253536Recruiting
Quality of life study after precise liver radiation
This study follows people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) to see how their quality of life changes after a focused form of radiation called stereotactic ablative radiation therapy. It does not appear to test a new drug—rather, it measures patient-reported well-being after treatment.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT01194648Recruiting
HIFU treatment for early prostate cancer
This trial studies a focused ultrasound treatment called HIFU for prostate cancer that appears limited to the early stages. It aims to treat cancer within the prostate while avoiding treatment spread to lymph nodes or distant organs.
London, EnglandAges Up to 90 years - NCT02138695Recruiting
Study of outcomes after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation
This study follows people after a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It aims to learn which factors help predict outcomes, so future care can be better tailored.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03428048Recruiting
NEXUS Registry for coronary artery disease or Afib patients
This is a research registry that collects health information about people with coronary artery disease or Afib. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these heart conditions and improve future care.
Glenwood Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05363657Recruiting
Registry study for kidney tumor treatment choices
This study is a registry that collects information on how people with localized kidney tumors are treated (either active treatment or watchful waiting). It may help doctors better understand which approaches work best for different patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05311137Recruiting
Closed-loop monitoring for atrial fibrillation
This study tests a “closed-loop” approach to treating atrial fibrillation, meaning the care plan may adjust based on how you’re doing. It may help improve how heart rhythm problems are managed over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
