Adding local treatment to drug therapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial compares continuing drug therapy alone versus adding local treatments (surgery or radiation) for people with stage IV lung cancer that has responded to initial treatment but still has a few remaining spots (oligometastatic). The goal is to see if targeting those spots with local therapy helps control the cancer longer.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT06121700RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoimmunotherapy and radiation before surgery for limited spread stomach cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes by shrinking tumors before they are removed.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06144346Recruiting
Radiation for limited breast cancer spread
This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06166277Recruiting
Ablation for fainting and slow heartbeat registry
This study tests a procedure called cardioneuroablation for people whose fainting or very slow heartbeat doesn't improve with other treatments. If you are under 60, have no other major heart conditions, and have not had ablation before, it might be an option to reduce or stop your fainting spells.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT06166576RecruitingPhase 2
Radioembolization for Liver Cancer with Vein Involvement
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) for liver cancer that has grown into the main vein (portal vein) but is still limited to one lobe of the liver. It is for people who have not received any prior cancer treatment and whose liver function is still fairly good.
Ilsan, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06178198RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and liver surgery for large liver tumors
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
Seoul, SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06179602Recruiting
Study of thermal ablation for liver tumors
This study follows patients who are having a procedure called thermal ablation to treat liver tumors. It aims to learn more about how well the procedure works and how safe it is.
LeidenAges 18–110 - NCT06200311Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation ablation to prevent heart damage in women and men
This trial tests whether a procedure called AF ablation (which treats irregular heartbeats) can stop further damage to the heart muscle caused by atrial fibrillation. It may help people with both atrial fibrillation and early signs of heart muscle weakening.
GroningenAges 65–80 - NCT06204874Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder pain in women
This trial tests a new nerve stimulation approach for women with bladder pain syndrome. It aims to find a gentler way to reduce pain and urgency without surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06208371RecruitingPhase 3
Local treatment vs. chemo for colorectal cancer with many liver spots
This trial tests whether treating all liver tumors with surgery, ablation, or radiation is better than continuing standard chemotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It's for those whose liver tumors have been controlled by initial chemotherapy and are considered removable.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06212791Recruiting
Exercise MRI Study of Heart Function After Ablation
This study uses an exercise MRI to look at how the upper chambers of the heart (left atrium) work after ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if the procedure improves heart function during exercise.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216769Recruiting
Pill-in-the-pocket blood thinners after AF ablation
This study tests a 'pill-in-the-pocket' approach for blood thinners after a catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Instead of taking a daily blood thinner, you may only take it when needed, which could reduce the risk of bleeding while still preventing strokes.
SeoulAges 19–89 - NCT06220006Recruiting
Comparing heart tissue burns for atrial fibrillation treatment
This study compares two ways to create small burns in the heart tissue to fix an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). It uses a special MRI to see how well each method works.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223711RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab with radiation therapy for limited-spread small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of durvalumab (immunotherapy) plus radiation and chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has only a few distant spots. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer better.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06239649Recruiting
Nerve block before knee replacement for faster recovery
This trial tests whether a numbing injection (nerve block) around the knee before surgery can help you recover faster and feel less pain after a total knee replacement. It is for people with knee osteoarthritis who are ready for their first knee replacement surgery.
Denizli, PamukkaleAges 40–85 - NCT06253000Recruiting
Heat vs. Freezing for the Back of the Heart
This trial tests two ways to treat the back wall of the heart's left chamber in people with stubborn atrial fibrillation. It compares radiofrequency (heat) and cryoablation (freezing) to see which is safer and works better.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06288633Recruiting
Heart nerve ablation for slow heart rhythm
This test uses a procedure to ablate (destroy) specific nerves in the heart that may be causing your heart to beat too slowly. The goal is to help your heart speed up naturally when needed, so you may avoid needing a permanent pacemaker.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT06294028Recruiting
Ablation vs Defibrillator for Well-Tolerated Fast Heartbeat
This study compares two treatments for a fast heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia in people with prior heart attacks and relatively preserved heart function: one uses heat energy (ablation) to fix the electrical problem, and the other places an implantable defibrillator that shocks the heart to restore normal rhythm. The goal is to find which approach works better for people whose symptoms are well-tolerated.
Toulouse, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT06303609Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for pelvic pain during sex
This study tests whether a special type of radiofrequency (a gentle heat treatment) can help women who have pain during vaginal penetration. You will not receive any other treatment for your pain during the study.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18–45 - NCT06308094Recruiting
CT scan to measure heart health before AF ablation
This trial uses a special CT scan to measure how much extra fluid is in your heart muscle. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat your atrial fibrillation before you have a procedure called ablation.
