Recruiting studies
- NCT05457699RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation to control prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests whether a focused form of radiation given after your cancer responds to medicine can help keep metastatic prostate cancer under control. It may help by “consolidating” your current good response, potentially delaying progression.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT04798898Recruiting
RFA plus immune stimulation during liver surgery for colon cancer spread
This trial looks at whether using a heat-based treatment (RFA) to trigger the immune system before or during liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver. It’s aimed at people who plan to have the liver tumors removed because they look treatable.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT05189821Recruiting
Study treatment for tiny thyroid cancer without surgery
This trial studies a treatment option for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in adults who either do not want surgery or cannot safely have surgery. It may help people find a non-surgical approach for a very small thyroid cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04782752Recruiting
Radiation before lung transplant to help stop lung cancer spread
This study tests a focused, low-dose type of radiation given before a lung transplant. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells (called “radiovaccination”) and improve outcomes for people who cannot get curative treatment with surgery or SBRT alone.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04730700Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment test for facet back pain
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06767306RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus immunotherapy for limited spread melanoma
This trial tests if combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with standard immunotherapy works better for melanoma that has spread to a few spots in the body (but not the brain). It is for people who have not yet had treatment for their current spread.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04838899Recruiting
Radiation for limited, progressing prostate cancer on abiraterone
This study tests whether a very focused type of radiation (SABR) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots that are starting to grow while you’re already on abiraterone. It may help by treating only the areas that are progressing, while other areas remain controlled.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04216121Recruiting
Testing a focused radiation approach for limited cancer spread
This trial looks at using a targeted form of radiation (LAT, often like SBRT) for people whose lung cancer has spread in only a few places while on osimertinib. It aims to control those “limited progression” spots and help you stay on the same medicine longer.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04240366Recruiting
Extra left atrial appendage treatment during AF ablation
This trial tests whether adding treatment to the left atrial appendage during a standard catheter ablation helps people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). It may improve how well AF is controlled, but you must meet specific heart rhythm and heart scan measurements to join.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04331249Recruiting
Monitoring heart device during and around your procedure
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
Fürth, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06168292Recruiting
Combined treatment for bile duct cancer
This trial is testing a new approach for people with bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines a procedure that uses heat to destroy cancer cells inside the bile duct with standard radiation therapy.
Goyang-si, OtherAges 20 years+ - NCT06487013Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for painful bone metastases
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment called ArcBlate to relieve pain from bone cancer that has spread. It is for people who have moderate to severe pain despite cancer therapy and have chosen not to have surgery or radiation for that pain.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06149780Recruiting
Laser treatment for dark spots after inflammation
This trial tests a special laser to see if it can safely lighten dark spots that appear after skin inflammation, especially in people with darker skin tones. It may help if you have these spots and they bother you.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06175754Recruiting
Laser or injection for leg veins
This study compares two treatments for small leg veins (reticular veins): a laser treatment and a sclerotherapy injection. It aims to see which works better for women.
TambovAges 18–75 - NCT06317727Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for removing colon polyps
This study tests a new way to remove colon polyps using short bursts of energy (pulsed field ablation) instead of standard methods. It may help people with polyps in the lower part of the colon that are not too large or complex.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07603765Recruiting
Heart Rhythm Monitoring During Ablation Procedures
This study examines a minimally invasive way to monitor your heart's blood pressure and function during a cardiac ablation procedure—a treatment that corrects irregular heartbeats. The goal is to better understand how this monitoring technique works and helps doctors manage your care during the procedure.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07718347Recruiting
Growth-factor gel after laser for skin rejuvenation
This study tests a natural growth-factor solution applied after a laser treatment to improve skin's appearance. It may help you if you are a middle-aged adult with sun damage looking for enhanced healing and results from a laser procedure.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 40–70 - NCT05784428Recruiting
Radiation “spot treatments” for a few metastatic or worsening spots
This trial compares giving stereotactic ablative radiotherapy as one larger treatment plan versus several smaller plans for people who have only a few cancer spots (or a few spots that are worsening). It may help control metastatic disease while aiming to protect surrounding healthy organs.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07541092Recruiting
Optrell Catheter for Heart Rhythm Problems from Papillary Muscles
This study compares how well a special heart mapping catheter (Optrell) works in treating irregular heartbeats that start in specific heart muscle areas called papillary muscles. If you're having frequent or bothersome extra heartbeats, this trial may help you get a procedure your doctor already recommends.
New Hyde Park, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07561320RecruitingPhase 4
Two ways to treat enlarged veins in your leg
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to treat enlarged great saphenous veins (a vein in your thigh that can cause swelling, pain, or skin changes). Both procedures seal off the problematic vein by either using heat and mechanical motion or injecting a foaming substance.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05815927RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab with targeted radiation for limited head and neck spread
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune medicine) to focused radiation (SABR) can better control head and neck cancer that has spread to only 1–5 spots. It may help some people live longer or delay cancer worsening by treating both the immune system and the specific metastases.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07529483RecruitingPhase 2
EUS-Guided Chemoablation for Pancreatic Cysts
This trial tests a new procedure using an ultrasound camera passed through your mouth to inject medicine directly into pancreatic cysts. It may help shrink cysts in people who cannot have surgery.
