This trial compares different techniques for a second heart ablation procedure in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who have already had one ablation. It aims to find the best approach to stop AFib from coming back.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06987370Recruiting
Radiation study for bone metastases with soft tissue mass
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation (SFRT and SCART) to bone metastases that have a soft tissue mass. It may be an option if you have limited spread and your organs are working well.

AI-Guided Mapping for Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart images and guide doctors during a procedure to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–90 - NCT06969014Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung tumors via bronchoscopy
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using microwave energy to destroy small lung tumors, guided by a thin tube through the airways. It may be an option if you can't have standard surgery or radiation, or choose not to.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06957691RecruitingPhase 2
Fezolinetant for hot flashes in men on hormone therapy
This study tests a medication called fezolinetant to see if it reduces hot flashes in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer. If you experience frequent hot flashes, this treatment might help alleviate them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06935591Recruiting
AI-guided ablation for hard-to-treat atrial fibrillation
This trial uses an artificial intelligence system (vMap) to find and target abnormal electrical signals outside the pulmonary veins that may be driving atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to improve ablation results for people with persistent or recurrent AF.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 22 years+ - NCT06937996Recruiting
NanoKnife treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a procedure called NanoKnife IRE for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically after standard chemotherapy or radiation. It uses electric pulses to destroy tumor cells and may be an option for patients who have completed other treatments.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05427435Recruiting
Testing alcohol treatment of a heart vein during atrial fibrillation ablation
This study tests whether applying a small amount of alcohol to a specific heart vein (“vein of Marshall”) is safe and feasible during a standard atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. It may help improve AF treatment, but the goal here is mainly to see if the approach can be done safely in the right patients.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT06931821Recruiting
Mapping to guide ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This study tests a new way to map the heart's electrical activity to guide a procedure that destroys the tissue causing fast, dangerous heart rhythms. It's for people with heart disease and ventricular tachycardia that hasn't been controlled by medication.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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+ - NCT06877234Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for high blood pressure
This trial tests a new ultrasound procedure to help control high blood pressure. It's for adults whose blood pressure stays high even while taking two or more medications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06918951Recruiting
Stereotactic radiation vs standard radiation for limited cancer spread
This trial compares two types of radiation for people whose cancer has spread to a few new spots while on or after treatment. It tests whether a precise, high-dose radiation approach (stereotactic) works better than the usual palliative radiation for controlling these growing spots.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 19 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+ - NCT06903312RecruitingPhase 4
Removing the main kidney tumor during immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether removing or burning (ablating) the main kidney tumor helps people with advanced kidney cancer who are already doing well on immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if combining local treatment with ongoing immunotherapy can improve outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06885112Recruiting
Laser treatment for hair loss in darker skin
This study tests a type of laser treatment for hair loss in people with darker skin (types V and VI). The laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that may help thicken thinning hair.
New York, New YorkAges 21–55 - NCT06889610RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation plus drug therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests combining a liver tumor ablation procedure with systemic drugs for people with advanced colorectal, breast, or melanoma cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06871228Recruiting
Stopping blood thinners after successful AF ablation with close heart monitoring
This trial tests whether people with atrial fibrillation who have had a successful ablation procedure can safely stop taking blood thinners (NOACs) if they wear a monitor to check for any silent heart rhythm problems. It may help you avoid the risks of long-term blood thinner use if your ablation has been effective.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06840288Recruiting
Lung tumor ablation registry study
This study tracks patients with small lung tumors that are treated with a robotic bronchoscope to destroy the tumor using heat. It aims to learn how well this procedure works over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06840782RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus local treatments for early spread lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding local treatments like radiation or surgery to standard immunotherapy can help people with lung cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see if this combination improves control of the disease.
Creil, Hauts-de-FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06647485Recruiting
Pulsed Field Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 656 recruiting ablation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ablation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ablation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
