Comparing microwave ablation vs. surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study compares a less invasive procedure (microwave ablation) with traditional surgery for treating a small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. If you have a single, small tumor with certain low-risk gene changes, you might be able to avoid surgery and have a quicker recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07528274RecruitingPhase 2
Microwave ablation with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining microwave ablation (heat treatment of tumors) with two drugs—tislelizumab (an immune-boosting drug) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)—for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed after initial immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink tumors better than standard treatment alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07518966Recruiting
Heart Rhythm Treatment Success Tracking Study
This study follows patients getting a newer heart rhythm treatment called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). Researchers want to understand which patients do well long-term and which may need additional treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07503769Enrolling by invitation
Dual-energy cardiac ablation for ventricular arrhythmia
This study tests a new method using two types of energy to treat a fast heartbeat coming from the lower heart chambers. It is designed for people whose symptoms have not been controlled by medication and who do not have other serious heart conditions.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06766643RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer
This study compares two nonsurgical procedures for liver cancer: stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) and radiofrequency ablation (heat therapy). It is for people whose tumor is in a tricky spot near major blood vessels or other structures, making surgery difficult, and who have not received prior treatment.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07487844Recruiting
Electric field therapy for breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a new way to treat breast cancer that has spread to the skin or just under the skin. It uses short electric pulses to target tumors without cutting. The goal is to see if this approach can safely destroy cancer cells in those spots.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790329Recruiting
Weight loss trial using stomach stapling and surface ablation
This trial tests a combined procedure that uses stomach stapling (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) plus ablation of the stomach lining to help with weight loss. It is for people with obesity who have not been able to lose weight with diet, exercise, or medication alone.
