Recruiting studies
- NCT04989725RecruitingPhase 2
Precision radiation for a few new cancer spots while on treatment
This trial tests a precise, high-dose radiation technique (SABR) for people whose cancer has started to grow again in only a few spots despite ongoing medication. The goal is to control those new growths while continuing your current treatment.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04685317Recruiting
Sentinel brain-protection device during atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests whether a specialized “brain protection” device can improve safety during atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. It may help reduce the risk of stroke or related complications while treating AF.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06640881RecruitingPhase 2
Repeat breast-conserving surgery with partial reirradiation
This trial tests a new approach for women whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast after earlier surgery and radiation. Instead of removing the whole breast, doctors will remove only the tumor again and give a small, focused dose of radiation before surgery, aiming to preserve the breast.
AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - NCT05350722Recruiting
Single pre-surgery radiation for low-risk breast cancer
This trial tests a single, shorter course of radiation given before breast surgery for people with low-risk, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help treat the breast tumor while reducing the number and length of radiation treatments.
SydneyAges 40 years+ - NCT07706595Enrolling by invitation
Nasal nerve treatment for chronic rhinitis
This trial compares two methods of a procedure that targets nasal nerves to reduce chronic rhinitis symptoms. It may help people whose rhinitis is not caused by allergies.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06335082Enrolling by invitation
Study of Farapulse ablation for atrial fibrillation
This registry is collecting information to see how well the Farapulse PFA system works and how safe it is for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm problem. If you are scheduled to have an ablation for AF with this system, this study will follow your progress.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 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+ - NCT03463954Recruiting
Laser treatment trial for small breast tumors
This trial tests a focused laser treatment (Novilase®) to destroy small, cancerous breast tumors while aiming to work with standard care. It may help people who have an early, localized tumor that can be clearly seen on imaging so doctors can guide the laser safely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03492424Recruiting
Focal prostate cancer treatment study
This study looks at outcomes after “focal therapy,” a type of treatment that targets only part of the prostate, for people with newly diagnosed or returning prostate cancer. It may help researchers understand how well this targeted approach works and for whom.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03546374Recruiting
Stop a common heart rhythm with surgery add-on therapy
This study looks at whether an added heart device approach around the time of planned open-heart surgery can help treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a long-lasting irregular heartbeat. It may help lower ongoing AF burden in people who also need non-emergency heart surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03620786Recruiting
HIFU experience study for treating parts of the prostate
This observational study looks at outcomes after people choose HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) to treat only a targeted area of the prostate. It may help doctors better understand how well HIFU works and what follow-up imaging or testing shows over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40–85 - NCT03650595Recruiting
MRI-guided laser treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive prostate treatment using MRI guidance and a focal laser to destroy only the cancer spot (not the whole prostate). If you have low-to-intermediate risk, MRI-visible prostate cancer in a limited area, it may help control the cancer while potentially reducing treatment side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT03747133Recruiting
Radiation treatment for certain kidney tumors
This trial tests a focused, high-dose radiation treatment (SABR) for kidney tumors that are too risky to remove with surgery or where surgery was declined. It may help shrink the tumor while limiting damage to surrounding tissue.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03912324Recruiting
CT-guided heart imaging to guide treatment for atrial fibrillation
This trial studies whether using a special CT scan map of the heart muscle thickness can help doctors choose the best strategy during a cryoballoon procedure for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. It may help improve effectiveness by tailoring treatment instead of using a standard approach.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT06529978Recruiting
CoreMap heart mapping for atrial fibrillation ablation
This study tests a new mapping system that helps doctors see the electrical signals in your heart more clearly during a standard ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. It may improve the accuracy of the treatment.
Naples, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07405359Recruiting
Comparing ablation methods for persistent atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a newer, possibly safer way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation using pulsed field ablation. It compares standard vein isolation alone to adding extra ablation spots to improve success.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04085029Recruiting
Study registry for patients getting focused radiation for spread disease
This study keeps a registry (a record) of people with metastatic (spread) cancer who are receiving focused, high-dose radiation to body sites outside the brain. It aims to better understand outcomes and care patterns for these patients.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04162171Recruiting
SBRT treatment study for steady heart rhythm VT
This study looks at using SBRT (high-precision radiation) to treat a dangerous, steady heart rhythm called monomorphic VT. It is meant for people who keep having VT even after prior ablation attempts and after trying a class III “rhythm-stabilizing” medicine.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Any age - NCT04281329Recruiting
CT and heart MRI add-on for atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial studies whether CT scans and heart MRI scans (done around the time of atrial fibrillation ablation) can help care planning and results. It may help your team better understand your heart before and after the procedure.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04397978Recruiting
Radiation for 4–10 brain metastases with a few tumor limits
This trial tests a local treatment approach (focused radiation) for people with multiple brain metastases. It may help by targeting several spots in the brain while keeping treatment within certain size and safety limits.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04472702Recruiting
Ultrasound vs X-ray guidance for knee pain ablation
This trial compares two ways (ultrasound or X-ray guidance) to place a treatment for painful knee arthritis. It aims to see whether one guidance method works as well as the other for reducing knee pain.
