This trial tests a new type of energy (pulsed field ablation) to treat a fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia that happens after a heart attack. The goal is to stop the dangerous rhythm without damaging nearby healthy tissue.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06883864Recruiting
Ablation for leaky valve with constant atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure (a way to fix abnormal heart rhythms) can help people who have both constant atrial fibrillation and severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It is for people whose heart valve leak is caused by the rhythm problem, not by valve damage.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06747013Enrolling by invitation
Focused pulse field ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06716294Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation and stabilization for spine tumors
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat to destroy active spine tumors from cancer that has spread, followed by stabilizing the bone. It aims to see if the treatment works by using a special scan (PET-CT) to confirm the results.
Athens, AthensAges 18–90 - NCT06703489Recruiting
New catheter for ventricular tachycardia
This trial tests a new catheter system (Sphere-9 and Affera) to treat a fast, dangerous heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people with heart scarring. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective at stopping VT, especially if past treatments haven't worked.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05037370Recruiting
Compare two eye laser procedures for vision correction
This study compares two types of laser surgery for vision problems (PRK versus another approach called “WFO ablation”) to see which works better for clear sight. You may be a candidate if you meet specific eye measurements and can return for follow-up visits.
San Antonio, TexasAges 21–50 - NCT06557876Recruiting
Pulse field ablation for atrial fibrillation mechanics
This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06426992Recruiting
Microwave ablation for small liver tumors
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
SeoulAges 20–85 - NCT06165510Recruiting
Convergent ablation and left atrial appendage isolation for persistent AF
This trial tests a two-step procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation that combines a heart ablation with isolation of a small heart pouch. It aims to see if this approach is more effective than standard care.
LondonAges 18–80 - NCT05961982Recruiting
EUS-guided heat treatment for pancreatic cysts
This study tests whether an endoscopy-based “radiofrequency ablation” (controlled heating) can manage certain pancreatic cysts that look high-risk. It’s designed for people who are not good candidates for surgery, aiming to shrink or control the cyst safely.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05673148RecruitingPhase 2
Adding targeted tumor treatment to standard therapy for limited metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted treatment to destroy remaining cancer spots (called total ablative therapy) after initial chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with limited metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to see if this extra treatment is safe and effective.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05023772Recruiting
Laser and targeted radiation for spine metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses a laser and focused radiation to shrink tumors in the spine and help stabilize the area near the spinal cord. It’s meant for adults with certain types of solid cancers that have limited spread in the spine and who are not good candidates for surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07877051Recruiting
Vapor treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding
This trial tests a new heat-based vapor treatment that removes the lining of the uterus to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding. It may offer an option for women who have not found relief from hormonal treatments and want a non-hormonal approach.
BatumiAges 30–55 - NCT07877519Recruiting
Sedation options for pulsed field ablation in atrial fibrillation
This study compares two ways to keep patients comfortable during a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06940752Enrolling by invitation
A new way to treat stubborn heart rhythm problems
This study tests a special navigation technique to improve the success of repeat catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias, helping patients who haven't been helped by prior procedures or medications.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 21–100 - NCT07777614RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose lung radiation for early-stage lung cancer or a single lung tumor
This trial tests a higher-dose radiation treatment for lung cancer or a single tumor in the lung. It is designed for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to, and whose tumor is near the chest wall making standard radiation difficult.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07876479Recruiting
Comparing kidney nerve treatment times for high blood pressure
This study tests whether the length of time used for a kidney nerve treatment (renal denervation) affects how well it lowers blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is still high despite taking medications.
ShanghaiAges 20–80 - NCT07792226Recruiting
Stomach procedure for weight loss (ESG with fundal ablation)
This study tests a new procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty with fundal mucosal ablation to help with weight loss. It is an option for people with obesity who have not had success with other methods and who have not had prior stomach surgery.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04365751Recruiting
Microwave ablation versus surgery for liver cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer): microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatectomy (keyhole liver surgery). It may help find which option works better for tumor control and recovery in people with limited, non-spread cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04150744RecruitingPhase 2
New immune drug plus immunotherapy for liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a new drug (RFA) to an immunotherapy medicine (carrizumab) works better than carrizumab alone for hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer. It may help people whose tumors cannot be removed or transplanted and who have not started whole-body (systemic) cancer treatment yet.
